I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen 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."

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

On the eve of the elections in Brazil, Zuckerberg suspends and shuts down President Lula's social media accounts in a move that appears to have been coordinated with Trump advisors who are guiding the campaign of Lula's opponent, the fascist candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

NEW- For the first time, groups in Iran, China, and Israel have used open source AI models to run start-to-finish influence campaigns. They told the models to create fake accounts on social media, find an agenda, and push it. Some are already targeting the US. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/t...

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Data centers are catastrophically unpopular, adoption is not where they need it to be, their public figures are obvious sociopaths, and folks they hoped to have in their corner (like mathematicians) are pushing back. If a slowdown seems inevitable, their only move is to try and take credit for it.

Bombardier is a major employer at the Tucson airport, with a workforce of more than 3000. Remember Arizona? Swing state? Where MAGA congressman Juan Ciscomani is fighting for his seat? Where there is a key governor’s race this year? Maybe POTUS trashing the state’s economy is not a stellar move.
