Pope Leo XIV warned against making Christianity attractive by diluting its demands, stating that the faith is best transmitted through authentic and credible witness. ewtnvatican.com/articles/leo-x…

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@retrosaudade @wendelltalks Consider, really wrap your mind around this: the universe is filled with an incomprehensible amount of matter. The laws of physics tell us matter can be neither created or destroyed. From where did the matter come? Consider this deeply. It's the first step to Truth.

@wendelltalks Then you have to accept "we don't know yet" is a valid reply.

Atheism’s first problem is the simplest. Why is there something rather than nothing? The universe had a beginning. Science is clear on that. Out of nothing, nothing comes. So what caused the cosmos and set its laws in motion? Atheism usually answers “We don’t know yet” or reaches for an unobservable multiverse. That’s not an explanation. It’s a hope that naturalism will someday save itself. Logic points to an uncaused Cause outside of space and time.

Getting my atheist Italian Jewish ex to let me take the kids to see the head of Catherine of Siena by appealing to his Italian nationalism.

Nobody accidentally becomes Catholic. So what happened here? Watch this.

Science says we need four basic elements to survive: - Food - Water - Air - Light Now here's what Jesus says: - I am the bread of life - I am the living water - I am the breath of life - I am the light of the world Science was right, we all need Jesus.

The U.S. Constitution is a brilliant piece of engineering. It is also philosophically incompatible with Catholic natural law. This is not a political claim. It is a metaphysical one. A thread.

@tanylake You have incredible taste in music. I've listened to a few of your selections here. They're all new to me; they're all phenomenal. I will continue to listen and discover. Thanks for sharing.

In the 1970s, David Premack wondered if a chimpanzee could be taught to ask a question. He taught Sarah 130 plastic word-tokens. She answered his questions easily. After years of work, she had never asked one of her own. Sixty years later, no signing ape has. A four-year-old human asks about 25 questions an hour. Paul Harris at Harvard counted them: kids ask their parents around 40,000 questions between ages two and five. Premack even worked out a method for teaching an ape to ask. Hide a snack the chimp expects. Wait for her to sign "where is it." He never bothered running it on Sarah. She spent her sessions answering his questions, never asking her own. A normal kid, he pointed out, asks "what that? who making noise? when Daddy come home?" on a loop. Washoe the chimpanzee, the first one taught American Sign Language, knew 250 signs. She could request food. She could sign her name. She once saw a swan and called it "water bird," a sharp invention for an animal she had no sign for. She never asked what the swan was, or where it came from, or anything else. Koko the gorilla knew about 1,000 signs. Kanzi the bonobo understands more than 3,000 spoken English words. Nim Chimpsky, Herbert Terrace's chimp at Columbia (named to mock the linguist Noam Chomsky), strung 125 signs into more than 20,000 combinations. His longest stretch was "give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." He never asked a thing. Joseph Jordania, a researcher in Melbourne, thinks this is the line between us and them. To ask a question, you first have to know that the person across from you knows something you don't. Apes do not seem to get to that step, even after a lifetime of being talked at by humans. Human kids cross that line around their fourth birthday. Apes never do.

@HeidiBriones I find it easier to cut it up in cubes before I cook it. It cooks faster and doesn't dry out.

I wish chicken breast tasted better. I have no idea how you're all cooking it without it getting dry or chewy. Tips? I tend to skip it and cook thighs instead, but I need to up my protein.

Dazed and Confused was released in 1993 and was set during the last day of school in 1976. If it was made today it would be about the last day of school in 2009. I graduated in 1998. What the hell is going on?

I often say “next right thing” and I will continue to, but it’s really not even about getting it exactly right—it’s about a willingness to engage in decisive action over and over again even when the way is unclear or you feel regret. You move the best you can and keep moving.

@GranvilleAlley3 @Math_files 5! = 120

@Math_files Not without parentheses around the 230-220, without them the answer is 120. 220 x 0.5 = 110, 230-110 =120. 230-220x0.5=120 (230-220)x0.5=5

When the math is mathing, but looks like it isn't

Reasons to use an em dash: 1) reclaim it from the machines 2) you don't know what a semicolon is for 3) it has incredible vibes

Chorizo egg and cheese. Fight me.

Sausage egg and cheese is better than bacon egg and cheese.

@gscool89 @qwertyyyyuiopp @slutriarch @RockAppleWood Right?! Dude has played 2 whole seasons already. Such an odd tweet. I think I might start cruising old tweets and leaving random comments. Just bewilder folks for fun

@marxreywrites @qwertyyyyuiopp @slutriarch @RockAppleWood Lol no idea. It would be one thing if the news came out now but this came out years ago 😂

Wait... She had more kids because her daughter doesn't want kids? Am I understanding this correctly?

@gscool89 @qwertyyyyuiopp @slutriarch @RockAppleWood Like how does one even stumble upon years old tweets? Wild

@qwertyyyyuiopp @slutriarch @marxreywrites @RockAppleWood Welcome to 3 years ago

I’m in love with this sentence: “The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.”

@stephenRB4 Good tune but not even the best on that album. That would Rocket Queen. I think it might GnR's best.

Paradise City by Guns n Roses is the greatest rock song of all time, and I’ll die on this hill.
