Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Why is so much of humanity stupid, selfish, and cruel? Humans are irrational. I'll bet AI tries to kill us all.

Sometimes I post things here that I mean, but shouldn't say. Anyone? Anyone? 🙄

Democrats hate hearing it, but Biden was complicit with this. He had the power and leverage but he didn't use it. And now Trump will celebrate with a ceasefire/hostage deal. Estimated Gaza Toll May Have Missed 25,000 Deaths, Study Says www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/h...

Home is where the screaming pillow is.

Dear Tech Companies, No. We don't want "A.I." anything. We don't want A.I. social media "friends." We don't want A.I.-generated news reporters or anchors. We don't want A.I. to curate our music or make our movies. We REALLY don't want A.I. put in charge of our insurance claims or kids' education.

Decency matters. Be decent.

The kingdom of God does not and cannot come by the church making common cause with the Machiavellian politics of this world. The kingdom of God is something altogether other. The church must ask itself this question: What are we profited if we gain the political world but lose our Christian soul?

It's becoming clear that A.I. is the devil. In a burning world, the energy & water it consumes are unconscionable. The intellectual property theft it depends on is wrong. It is dehumanizing. Its development is fueled by naked greed. It is a giant step backward for humanity & our planet.

#MorningPrayer Manifest in us, Lord, in the lives we live, in the choices we make, in the words we speak, in the paths we take, the love which you offer, which you call us to show to one another and to the world. Instil in us a yearning for the good of our neighbour, near or far.

Jan 9 Scripture "This is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister" (1 Jn 4:21). And this is why racism, xenophobia, hate, and any cultural, religious, national, ethnic, or gender discrimination is incompatible with Christian ethic. Period.
