Pope Implores Priests to Stop Writing Sermons Using ChatGPT In a meeting with high-level clergy, Pope Leo XIV urged priests to avoid the temptation to use AI to generate homilies.

Pope Leo XIV to his priests: stop using AI to write sermons. “‘To give a homily is to share faith,’ he said, and AI ‘will never be able to share faith.’” [futurism.com]

AI or Religion?

✅ Insists it is inevitable
✅ Consumes wealth and resources
✅ Makes up fantasies / hallucinates
✅ Tells you you’re special
✅ Constantly being shoved down your throat

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

A 🧵 of my favorite bits of useless junk knowledge from 20 years of digging in pop culture…

I have tickets in April to see them. Hoping they’ll sell the new album there. Since we don’t get ticket stubs anymore, CDs are my souvenir.

Finally got a copy of Carpenter Brut Trilogy. Ordered this four times and they kept not showing up! Fourth time finally did it.

This is a travesty and frankly bullshit. These guys are so talented but people like Jim Ryan, presumably, or foolish investors perhaps just had to chase that awful GAAS trend.

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

Use a Thunderbolt cable to make migration take minutes. You can try migration assistant from new Mac to old Mac. (If new Mac has all your stuff on it since old Mac will get wiped.) External drives are slow, but Mac to Mac with a TB cable is incredibly fast.

To definitively answer the burning question I know has been keeping everyone up at night:

Yes, NSO Virtual Boy is compatible with TOOL 10,000 Days. And it looks amazing.

It makes me question my taste and media literacy. I’m so picky about good stories and I feel like I can’t tell when I’m looking at a bad one. I watched it and was satisfied, then moved on. Is that how normies experience everything? Fun in the moment and then never think about it again?

After watching most of Star Trek The Next Generation, I can look back and understand why Picard was not good. I really liked it at the time I watched but now I can see how far it drifted from TNG and how poorly it treated those characters. They lost the plot.

ICE being all “We can’t do our job if we have to follow the Constitution” is perfect symmetry with AI tech bros being all “Our AI models don’t work if we have to follow copyright law”

How the fuck are any of these assholes even allowed to complain about adhering to a basic social contract?
