In what way would we be living in a worse world if we prosecuted every military leader or head of state with genocide merely for saying that they want to commit genocide and then killing a lot of civilians? In what way is our world made better by waiting to prosecute until after everyone is dead?

Experts say now is an ideal time to get a flu shot, before influenza starts spreading widely. It's also a good time for vulnerable people to get vaccinated against another winter risk, RSV, and to get up to date on protection against COVID-19.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

A thing that's helping me this week, so I thought I'd share: If you dissociate (and face it, you probably do), make playlists. Find songs that connect with your best memories/emotions/traits, and make playlists. Music makes a great "save point" so you can remember who you want to be.
