Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if anything, it proved to me that we honor King’s dream, by daring to dream big, and by, most importantly, daring to dream together. Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us. What a worthwhile, powerful calling only we can answer. Here with you in the hill and the climb, and whatever light lies beyond, whatever light lies within. -Amanda

I’m thinking about that Mr. Roger’s quote “look for the helpers” and the way people miss a key element in it. He was talking to preschoolers. It is a perfect message to preschoolers. But that is not the message for us, the grown ups. (Con’t)

The folks who are pushing for ChatGPT to replace teachers and textbooks don’t care that it makes people dumber because that is its purpose. That is what it was designed to do. They want to create a world where the very rich are educated and the rest of us are illiterate.

do people know using chatgpt for every task that's even slightly demanding contributes to premature cognitive decline? you need to keep challenging your brain to maintain cognition or you WILL deteriorate. overtime your laziness will turn an optional choice into sth you depend on

@packersloren I was in the same boat. I am 29. I got my license in 2021, but didn't start driving daily until April of this year. Be patient and kind to yourself. You can do it. Good luck on the test!

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

fyi, pangur ban probably translates to “white fuller,” a fuller being someone who felts fabric by kneading it. so, the cat was presumably named for its love of kneading fabric (making biscuits) 🥹

annual reminder that a major subplot in A Christmas Carol involves Scrooge denying healthcare to his employees, and that Tiny Tim would have died had Scrooge not been shamed by ghosts into giving him coverage.

“This degree is a waste of money—” Must everything be measured in terms of wages and profits? Shouldn’t it be enough just to read, to learn, to contribute to the sum total of the world’s knowledge? Dismissing the value of scholarship and the humanities is a kind of poverty.

saw someone say that The Hobbit is too difficult a book for teenagers, and I really think part of the problem is adults with such low expectations that they think kids can’t handle a book famously written for children.

Those who only know the Tin Woodman from the movies are likely unaware that in the original fourteen Oz books, his origin story is the most messed-up, horrifying thing you can imagine. And his ultimate fate is even worse.

SAM: Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

That is how civilizations heal." In these wordless hours, a lifeline from Toni Morrison worded 20 years ago: themarginalian.org/2016/11/15/ton…
