The Big Impulse

@BishopBarron The ships name is Hail Mary, the main characters last name is Grace. Hail Mary full of Grace.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

UNDEFEATED.

This is what an EXCEPTIONAL mindset thinks like and sounds like. So impressive from a 22 years old. Not only you CAN control what you think, and how you think it and why, but you SHOULD. See your mind as a skill and practice it as such.

nothing in the world, not even talent will ever take the place of obsession. nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

@venturetwins This is bullish for office real estate and in person meetings.

We’re not prepared for how quickly production pipelines are going to change with AI. Some of the latest video models have immediate implications for Hollywood - endless character swaps at a negligible cost. (this is from ederxavier3d on IG using Kling Motion Control)

"Claude build me a $100M startup, get it acquired, deposit the funds in my bank account, and notify me when completed. Make no mistakes"

@AnhamBill Wrong! Please cite your sources if you want to debate or discredit me. Otherwise you're an idiot.

You're lying. Any new sales tax from new development goes to fund the star bonds. Otherwise no investor would buy them. That means there's no way for sales tax revenue to go up for the cities in the district due to these new businesses. For the next 3 decades if Wyandotte or JoCo need new money for anything, they'll have to raise taxes somewhere else. Don't gaslight people, bud.

The Chiefs stadium isn't being built with your current tax dollars—it’s being built with private investor cash. 🧵🏦 Here is the "Invisible" Funding Loop:

IF this is the STAR bond district, it’s exactly the kind of dirty BS I’ve been warning about for months. The math in Kansas never made sense, unless there was a massive abuse of the STAR Bonds. And here ya go…
