If your god causes fires but the democrats control hurricanes, there’s a deep theological paranoia at work; it’s the church’s responsibility to resist this disoriented imagination split between ideology and theology

Dan: starts to suspect Minah then immediately flames out at the roundtable. The monkey paw in Minah's room: #theTraitors

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable. Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies). And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.

The fact checking activisms of tech platforms were always more public relations than comprehensive attempts to dam up the torrent of mis/disinfo. Remember, the logic of these platforms (no matter what slogans they use) is committed to capturing data on every aspect our lives.

It's hard to think of a worse aberration than a genAI sermon. Preaching is a spiritual and relational activity. You might as well ask the machine to pray for you while you're at it.

#theTraitors is microcosm of the UK: equal parts dumb, dystopian and wholesome. You've got a lowkey racist pile on of someone for being nice+a doctor, a very smart black woman running rings around everyone else, and someone who is pretending to be welsh for reasons only she fully understands.

One of the great things about #TheTraitors is that it doesn't (yet) seem to be being played by people who've seen 'The Traitors'.

This thread nails it. GenAI advocates at uni don't realise that they are devaluing their product because they think the product is the writing the student produces and not the student themselves.

This would be fine if there were AI tools which genuinely improved the learning process, but there aren't. In most cases it makes things worse e.g by encouraging plagiarism or feeding students bad info. I'm not obligated to use a bad, unethical tool just because it cost a lot of money to make.

Advent invites us to dare talk of hope in a time of despair and dread. But the hope of Advent isn’t fanciful sentiment. It’s gritty trust. Wide-eyed honesty. Facing hopeless human situations, clinging to God’s promise of deliverance. Like the prophet Jeremiah, buying a plot of land during a siege.

So my wee boy (who's normally a very good eater) had decided he doesn't like the flaky bits of a croissant, so here I am 'peeling' a fresh pastry in a (very nice) coffee shop...

If Andor Season 2 is just Krennic squabbling with other Imperial bureaucrats and trying to hide funding riders in Senate security bills I will watch a thousand episodes of that

Just finished re-reading the screwtape letters, and among many reflections I can't help but think that in some other universe CS Lewis ended up as a world renowned writer of Lovecraftian horror.
