As colleges and universities implement AI for educating students, we must remember that AI cannot truly teach, and relinquishing this responsibility would be to ignore the spark of God in every one of our students. open.substack.com/pub/gorebuil...

Together these articles demonstrate the beauty of God’s generativity is incarnated in the interpersonal encounters between those caught in the painful places of the world and those who accompany them.

This is very interesting. Note the temporal qualifier in second quote.

It’s easy to see and understand that the war in Iran meets no criterion — let alone the first— for just war within the Catholic tradition (Massaro, “Living Justice”).

We did a book launch! @esther-alter.bsky.social moderated a conversation with cyberpunk savant @robotleblanc.bsky.social whose knowledge of the genre blew my mind. So much fun, a great venue at Side Quest Books.

CYBERSCION by Thomas Bulen Jacobs / @tbjacobs.bsky.social is out today! “Cyberscion’s neon-slick setting and lovable cast of characters lured me in from the start, while the story’s emotional heart—conflict between tradition and upheaval—kept me hooked.” —@domsdickey.bsky.social

As the parent of an autistic kid, it is hard even to formulate a sentence these days. The rage bubbles like molten lava under my skin. The audacity of a regime that illegally tears a father from his autistic child to claim that it is autism that destroys families… He is preaching eugenics.

Anyone have fav scifi/cyberpunk artists? Self-recs welcome. Environmental/bg skills essential, but also especially looking for folks who have queer folks and non-white people in their portfolios.

Tyranny works same in every context, which is why Trump—in the Oval Office regarding world politics and war—hit like an angry derisive parent. Not because Zelensky was childish but because tyranny is always about coercive belittling violence, whether between family members or nations.

I learned that the FAFSA is requiring students to select M or F to access federal funding. Trans and nonbinary students now have to misgender themselves to access their education (I’m not convinced it will be an easy switch). I’ve called my reps / am outraged at the violation of my students’ rights.

"The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the 'Good Samaritan,' that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception”

From Kübler-Ross’s interview with a nun in “On Death & Dying” (1969). Feels like whole game right now.
