Sure, get rich off more than three centuries of Indigenous lands, labour & knowledge, set the stage for enormous land loss, & then sell what’s left to whoever has the biggest paper bag full of money? It’s a tawdry end to a history that means so much to this place & so little to the HBC.

This is totally shocking. There are so many gems Susan Alcorn leaves us with. Most notable for me is her playing with The Mary Halvorson Octet - what a perfect compliment to Halvorson's guitar! The treasures here are endless. She'll be missed.

As a member of The Granite, I'm pretty disappointed to see how our board is responding to this. As has been the case with The Beer Can, we should be seeing this as an exciting opportunity rather than an existential crisis. This is embarrassing. Also, way to go @binkypinder.bsky.social!

🧵 One of my public takes as a scholar of religion is that we need to normalize an Ethics of Religious Responsibility: People are responsible for their gods or religion. No shirking responsibility for supporting transphobia, patriarchy, or ethnic cleansing by saying "But it's just my religion." 1/4

Quotation that reads: We should absolutely judge a deity by the offerings and piety it demands! Furthermore, what people are willing to sacrifice for their god should likewise be a commentary on their deepest values.

Let us call this an ethics of religious responsibility: we are responsible for the deities we follow. Many people tacitly accept this point when they opine that folks who follow other gods, or at least not their God, deserve to burn in hell. So, if one’s deity demands things like human sacrifice, genocide, or partiality to rapists and autocrats, then this should give some pause.

In a society founded partly on the concept of religious liberty people can, in theory, choose to worship such deities. But in a society also founded on the concept of free speech, shouldn’t people who follow these gods at least have to answer uncomfortable questions about their sociopathic deities? Why should it be bad manners to question people who worship such gods instead of bad manners to promote those gods in the first place?

Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.

I think it’s notable that some of the first real limits on the use of generative AI were brought to us by labor. Not Congress. Not “ethical” AI shops nestled inside big tech companies. A union.
