Do we think it’s a good or a bad sign when they have to check multiple boxes to indicate what’s wrong? That’s probably good, right?

A sign reading “DANGER UNSAFE STRUCTURE - NO TRESPASSING” in red, followed by “TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED,” “STRUCTURE ADDRESS:” with obscured text, and “UNDER SECTION 37-7-9-3 INDIANA STATE STATUTE.” Below, checkboxes show “STRUCTURE,” “WIRING,” and “PLUMBING” marked, with “FOUNDATION,” “OTHER,” “HEATING,” and “DEMOLITION” unchecked; “INSPECTOR:” and “PHONE:” are obscured, and “DATE: 9/14/24” is handwritten. The sign is mounted behind a reflective surface with unclear background reflections.

I got an Instagram ad for a Temu kneeler, which is both the most Episcopalian thing that could happen and maybe also actual sacrilege

Remarkably, everything seems to work upon re-installation. Still needs some finishing touches but it’s a big upgrade from the rickety bookshelf that was holding it all up before. (Thanks to Tom Scott’s series on English counties for providing the test audio.)

This clip from @elizabetholdfield.bsky.social beautifully explains why the use of LLM technology as it stands is a grave spiritual harm. (P.S. Is there a bat signal to summon The Episcopal Church’s Task Force on Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property? Asking for a friend)

Good morning from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Elko, Nev. and their “there are seven sacraments of the Church and don’t you forget it” altar and windows.

A religious altar with a crucifix and candles in front of a stone wall. The altar is covered with a green and white cloth with a floral pattern. There are two wooden benches on either side of the altar. The wall behind the altar is made of stone and has a wooden arch above it. The floor is covered with a red carpet. The text "WELCOME" is written on a mat in front of the altar.

A stained glass window with three panels depicting religious symbols. The top panel shows a yellow shape above blue waves with the word "BAPTISM." The middle panel features crossed keys with the word "PENANCE." The bottom panel displays a red and blue flame with the word "CONFIRMATION." The window is set in a brick wall next to a wooden bench and a table with a white cloth.

A stained glass window with three panels depicting religious symbols. The top panel shows a red stole with the word ORDINATION below it. The middle panel features a hand with hands below it joined, and the word MATRIMONY. The bottom panel shows an urn with the word UNCTION below it. The background is blue and white. The window is set in a brick wall. There is a candle holder and an open book nearby.

I won’t lie, I did tear up a bit seeing +Sarah’s name inscribed on the walls of Canterbury, the first woman in their 1500 years.

History was made at Canterbury Cathedral this afternoon when - following her Confirmation of Election at St Paul's as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury - Sarah Mullally's name was added to the plaque that lists every previous holder of the office, all the way back to 597 and the first Archbishop of Canterbury, St Augustine. Pictured here is Cathedral stonemason Benn, inscribing the plaque in St Augustine's Chapel.

The mobile lounges may not have worked out the way Eero wanted, but Dulles remains stunning. The dream of the 60s is alive in the Virginian Hinterlands of the DC metropolitan area

Exterior of Dulles Airport. It is a modern building with a curved roof and large windows illuminated at night. The entrance is centered with glass doors and steps leading up. The building's facade is concrete with a sleek, minimalist design. The road in front is empty, and the sky is dark.

A group of people walking in an airport with blue walls and white ceilings. There are signs above restrooms that say "Restrooms" and "Telephones" with a blue arrow pointing to the right. There is a sign that says "Women" and another sign that says "Men." There is a sign that says "Visitor" and another sign that says "Water Fountain." There is a sign that says "Exit" and another sign that says "Metro." There is a sign that says "No Smoking." There is a sign that says "Fire Extinguisher." There is a sign that says "Camera."

It's so industrial their zoning map only bothers to color in the parts of the city that *aren't* industrial. The big chunk of residential in the middle is literally an uninhabitable Superfund site because they built a housing project and elementary school on top of an abandoned lead smelter
