Dear Christian,

If you cheered when the president joked about two American cities being bombed by Iran.

If you cheered when Hegseth announced a live streamed execution.

If you cheered as the president’s supporters beat a woman at one of his rallies as he mocked her.

If you cheered as migrants were put in chains.

What makes you think you wouldn’t be among those who cheered as Jesus was arrested, beaten, mocked, and executed?

“Whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me.” -Jesus

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

It’s not nearly justice, but there is a bit of a Twilight Zone twist to the man who exploited beautiful young girls by owning beauty pageants and modeling agencies spending his golden years idolized by a botched plastic surgery horror show.

Understanding Trump's Russia oil deal is simple once you know that Putin invited Jared Kuschner and Steve Witkoff to participate in a buy-out of Russia's oil giant, LukOil. LukOil stock is currently almost worthless due to sanctions, but if they are lifted (wink, wink) it will be worth $billions.

So… I've been writing for about 18 years on the idea that if you somehow manage to make meaningfully conscious machine minds & then you treat them as tools, then you're enslaving those minds, and that's pretty messed up. And this ties into something else I've re-upped recently: LLMs can't say "No."

Before the strike, 99.6% of all international message traffic eminating from Yandex survers was from Bots; just 0.4% from humans. The primary function of all those Bots is to boost groups that Putin believes will destabilize "the West," meaning MAGA in the USA and the AfD in Germany.

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.
Pope Leo XIV • @Pontifex• •4h
X
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.
