In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

In 2018, President Trump revoked Jim Acosta's press pass, then with CNN, after a contentious news conference. A federal judge restored his access, and the White House ultimately backed down. Now, with CNN, MS NOW, and Politico barred from the White House, Acosta says the stakes are broader.

A journalist once barred from the White House says this media ban is different

Jim Acosta has already been through a White House press-pass fight. Now, three news organizations are barred, and he says the press is showing solidarity that should have come sooner.

You get energy affordability by getting off fossil fuel. Clean energy is least expensive on the grid. Clean energy has less “negative externalities” (pollution). Get enough clean energy and you get free electricity periods of the day. Our offshore is 9 cents/kwh in 18-cent grid.
