Vatican News No to homilies prepared with Artificial Intelligence The Pope therefore invited the priests to enter into real life and called for vigilance when confronted with artificial intelligence and internet use. He warned against "the temptation to prepare homilies with Artificial Intelligence". "Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die. The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity," he said. Moreover, "to give a true homily is to share faith," and Al "will never be able to share faith," he insisted. "If we can offer a service that is inculturated in the place, in the parish where we are working, people want to see your faith, your experience of having known and loved Christ." vaticannews.va

PAPA LEONE YES

Here's this little MST3K Mighty Max thing I made a few years back

watching curling is like waiting for the dvd logo to land perfectly in the corner of the screen

I worked at an indie video store in the 90's and Tubi's the streamer that comes closest to replicating an indie video store in the 90's (complimentary)

Sisyphus and Baseball: Eephus and Everybody Wants Some!! Both Eephus and Everybody Wants Some!! explore groups of men who are devoted to their sport, but have yet to figure out the rest of their own lives.

"Baseball is slow ebbs and swift surges, a sport of opposing forces thrown together into harmony. It’s bittersweet and optimistic; the territory of upstart children and aging adults alike, a way to be romantic about stats and charts."

wegovy sponsoring Canada’s Olympic broadcast feels very Paul Verhoeven coded

FORCED I tell you

Pay no attention to the other portable pickles in my grocery basket.

Meg (she/her) is holding a comically large pickle in a plastic sleeve from the Canadian brand Elman’s.

I’m doing an avalanche safety course this weekend and am bringing a champion’s lunch: One Big Pickle

Meanwhile, compliments of the actual writer who brought you Sinners;

I love X-CROSS so so so much. Please watch X-CROSS. You certainly won't have a bad time watching X-CROSS.

X-CROSS is very “It Was Made For Me! This Is My Hole!” **

** hits like an adaptation of a non-existent PS2 survival horror game and is super wlw coded

much like Pyramid Head, I cannot be killed … only kited around in circles until I get lured down a long hallway.

**family dinner ends**

MY MUM: do you want to play game?

ME: okay Jigsaw

MY MUM: eh … I don’t really want to do a puzzle.

Someone (aka @theworstnun.bsky.social) finally had us talk about the movie where Guy Pearce & Robert Carlyle want to romantically cannibalize each other as part of a larger horror-western metaphor for America's insatiable manifest destiny greed. Also one of the best (and weirdest) movie scores ever.

An Official Ranking of the 'Mad God' Kissers | Certified Forgotten If you watched Phil Tippett's 'Mad God' and wondered how well each creature could kiss, well, you're certainly not alone.

"On the one hand, I think the Manure Men would be very giving kissers; they definitely exemplify the idea of teamwork making the dream work." All month long, we're sharing some of our favorite pieces from previous Halloweens. And this piece by @theworstnun.bsky.social remains delightfully unhinged.

I donated blood earlier this week and can’t stop thinking about two women — my mum’s age — who went on and on about how nice it was to “be allowed” to eat carbs in the rest area.

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)

Celebrating Michèle Burke Exploring horror, film, and pop culture, all while celebrating the creators, history, and artistry that keep the genre alive.

ICYMI: After hearing yesterday that FX legend & Oscar winner Michele Burke had passed away, I decided to publish her book chapter in its entirety (I also have some pics she shared that never went into the book in there too): from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/celebrating-...
