Thinking today about how when I was a kid, "Dolly Parton has big tits" was the go-to, for years, for every comedian and game-show host who needed an easy laugh, and about how she took that from them, made it HER joke, and then powered past them all. In her way, she understood drag deeply and early.

Earlier this year, Pope Leo urged priests to steer clear of AI when writing homilies. @nolanews.bsky.social's Bob Warren spent time with the Notre Dame Seminary's homiletics prof and we learned a lot about how this challenging, old-school form of writing happens. www.nola.com/news/pope-le...

Homilies by AI? For these Louisiana clergy members, it would lack spirit.
Pope Leo XIV has urged against using AI to write homilies for Mass. Priests and deacons say the process involves reflection on Scripture, prayer, a meaningful delivery — and humanity.
