When Anne Marie Boyle turned down MMA fighter Sean McInnes, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her eyesocket, broke her cheekbone, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. She now lives with constant pain and tremors. He was sentenced to 19 months. The British court system continues to demonstrate its disregard for the female victims of male violence. glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-n…

Vernacular translations of the Bible printed before the Reformation. 1466: German, before Luther was even born. No problems with the Catholic Church. 1471: Italian. No problems with the Catholic Church 1487: French. No problems with the Catholic Church. 1488: Czech. No problems If we include ones from before the printing press, my thumbs will fall off from typing it.

Catholics actually benefited a great deal from the Reformation. For example, you can now read the Bible in English. I think we can all agree, that’s an incredible blessing.

This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata

Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement. My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…

How to never sound like an AI: 1. Write your own words.
Srishti@srishticodes

How to never sound like an AI. But yourself: 1. Don't write any prompt. Instead, go to Wikipedia. 2. Search "Signs of AI writing." 3. Open the full article. Read nothing. 4. Do Ctrl+A. Then Ctrl+C. Copy the entire page. 5. Open a Google Doc. Paste everything in it. 6. Don't edit. Don't summarize. The full thing. 7. Rename the Google Doc as "anti-ai-writing style." 8. Click File → Download → Markdown (.md) 9. Go to Claude.ai. 10. Don't type your prompt yet. 11. Click the '+' button. Upload your .md file first. 12. Start every chat with this prompt (copy & paste): Prompt: "Read the uploaded file. It contains every known pattern of AI writing I want to avoid. Apply these as rules to everything you write for me. Do NOT start writing yet - ask me clarifying questions first."

@BillArnoldTeach Oh it’s whenever they’re praying the rosary which is a typical part of a Catholic mass. Like I already mentioned, about them praying to Mary. I know words are difficult for you but if you’re gonna be tagging me and stuff, make sure you keep up a little bit

Once again: nothing helps the rise of toxic ethno-nationalist movements as much as the refusal or inability to articulate a positive interpretation of national identity rooted in a common history and open to universality.

@HenriLindroos @TVPWorld_com @Pontifex Let's not forget the work of the world's Catholic charitable organisations. Most of the aid the Church provides doesn't happen directly through the person of the Pope.

Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) has sent 80 electric generators and thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine to help civilians cope with freezing winter temperatures and relentless attacks. The three trucks carrying generators and medical supplies departed from the Basilica of Saint Sophia in Rome on Monday and have already arrived to Fastiv and Kyiv, areas heavily affected by recent strikes.

@colmflynnire So it’s ok for Muslims to proselytize in the West but not for Christians in Algeria. Interesting bit of cultural suicide.

Once a thriving centre of Christianity and the land that gave the Church St Augustine. Today, Algeria is a Muslim country with only a tiny Christian community. I travelled across Algeria for EWTN News to explore the fine line the Catholic Church walks: remaining present to serve its faithful, while avoiding any perception of evangelisation. 🎥 Watch the full documentary here:

I can't help but notice that I am seeing a lot more dragon sighting videos since the advent of generative AI. Could it be that AI's adverse effects on the environment are leading to a change in their behavior, e.g. lack of water sources that causes them to move closer to cities?

@NeilShenvi The real world is embracing AI fast. Bosses will demand workers use it—why pay more for a 30-minute task AI does in seconds? Kids need to master AI as a tool early. Schools banning it instead of teaching smart use are failing students, leaving them unprepared for the future.

As an 11th grade teacher, I've had to give my students guidelines about the ethical use of AI. Here's an easy rule of thumb: If it would be cheating to have a human do it for you, it's cheating to use AI to do it for you. Proof-reading: ok Brainstorming: ok 1/

Horrific experience of an MBA Frenchman in an ICE migrant centre because his visa was delayed Sleeping on the floor in a "cell" with 80 people, lights on non-stop, hand-cuffed and ankles chained, referred to by a number, he lost 7 kilos in a month.

In these troubling days, we recognize with heavy hearts that the events unfolding in Minneapolis do not reflect the values we hold dear as a Church and as a Nation. As Catholics, we believe that the dignity of human life is not dependent on legal or any other status.
