For the love of Christ, please stop creating AI slop images that support your politics. Its either so realistic you're engaging in unjustifiable deceit, or its just shitty art. And either way, AI slop's production is not justifiable.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

on Martin Neimoller and the Confessing Church
Certainly Niemöller did not believe his Confessing Church activities constituted political agitation against the state. In fact, the only political activity Niemöller engaged in prior to 1945 - as a U-boat commander and as a pastor - was expressly in defence of the conservative nationalist state. In this, he differed from his politically more liberal colleagues such as Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth. What Niemöller objected to during the Third Reich was the attempt by the German Christians and the Nazis to Nazify the Protestant Church by eliminating its traditional emphasis on sin, suffering, death, and redemption; by transforming Jesus of the cross into Jesus the Nordic / Aryan hero; by purging the pastorate of baptised Jews; and by restructuring the church according to the Führer principle. Niemöller understood all too well that challenging Hitler on political grounds would discredit the Confessing Church and provide the Nazis with a convenient excuse for rounding up confessing Christians.

I don't have a coherent argument to give right now, but the framing of "populism" as the enemy, a common framing in both Canada & the US, bothers me. Something something centrism something... technocracy... comfortable pluralism... *vague hand gestures* ...Look, I said it wasn't coherent.

jesus fucking christ

Ottawa has warned the Quebec government against the possibility of US interference in the current election campaign, which is aimed at favouring the election of a sovereignist government.

At the beginning of September, a senior official in the Fréchette government received a call from a counterpart in the Mark Carney government, we have learned.

He was offered the option of going to a "neutral location, where there were no cameras", and was forbidden from bringing his cell phone.

This suggests to me that Mark Carney is a popular politicians whose ideology is compatible with conservativism. It does not suggest to me that Alberta is waking up and becoming a progressive province, looking at the sunrise like a CCF poster.

Does anyone have a good theology book for how church isn't a "business?" As a slogan, I instinctively like "not a business" more than the alternative. However, there is a time & place for "instrumental reason" in things like working conditions, etc. I assume there are more than a few books.
