What Happened in Minneapolis Was Not an Accident

I had not seen this video before. What strikes me in particular is that the video stops just a few seconds at most before the shooting takes place. It is difficult to see the shooter as he appears to be behind a tree. Why end the video just here and not five seconds later?

This is listed as “promoted content” on your website. So this posting is really just a link to an advertisement for a company. If Lookout Eugene-Springfield is going to post such advertisements on Bluesky, the least you can do is to label it up front as such.

I recommend this book enthusiastically to anyone seeking a better understanding of today’s Catholic Church and how we got here. 5/5

As Holman explicates the theological methods developed by Chenu, she models beautifully throughout the book those same methods in the development of her argument. 4/5

Holman walks us through the development of a number of theological methods that Chenu pioneered (with big pushback from the pre-Vatican II institutional Church). He was a key contributor to the development of the historical, socially engaged, contextual, and inductive methods used today. 3/5

Holman gives us a well-crafted biographical look at the remarkable life of the adult Chenu, from his joining the Dominicans at a young age, his work as a theologian, his contributions to the riches of Vatican II, through to his death at age 95. 2/5

I have just finished reading this recently published and fascinating book. While Holman writes as a professional theologian, the book is very accessible to a lay reader like myself. 1/5

And to make matters worse, when I listed the first 32 prime numbers and asked Google AI to add them, I was given a different answer again.

I had originally asked Google AI to find me the sum of the first 32 prime numbers. I had been doing a math puzzle and wanted to check part of my work. The AI correctly listed the first 32 Prime Numbers but failed to add them correctly. The correct answer is 1851.

The AI in Google cannot even add 13 numbers. Asked to add the numbers 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131. The AI gave the answer 1183. The correct answer is 1283 which I found both from using a spreadsheet and by doing it by hand, the old fashioned.

Can we expect an English language edition as with the Biden book four years ago?
