Don’t disagree, but it’s disingenuous to say Christianity *didn’t* have any influence on the development and nature laws in modern liberal democracies in the west. Many of the medieval & renaissance thinkers who influenced modern law were overtly Christian.

Absolutely. But after the collapse of the Roman Empire, western kingdoms specifically did not have access to the classics, so built their laws based on β€˜Christian’ teachings. It was called the dark ages for a reason.

What about β€˜thou shalt not kill’?

Does the principle of β€˜love thy neighbour’ not influence the existence of social welfare?

It’s unfair to say that liberal democracies are not underpinned by the principles of fairness, compassion etc. They are Jesus’ teachings, like the religion or not.

Is it just me or does the headline not align with what's in the by-line ...? I'm confused.

Watching BleeM explain #criticalrole C4 ideas behind the story fills me with glee. Mature, advanced storytelling … this is the art produced by our times. Change comes at a cost.

Multilateral storytelling, baby!!! What a cast!!

A flirty Meta AI bot invited a retiree to meet. He never made it home. Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Meta’s AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

It's so cool that cities are like "pweeease only turn your AC on if you're actively dying and don't go below 79" while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

The bottom 60 percent of Americans will get just 4 percent of the benefits from Trump’s budget. If you’re in that bracket but still voting for Trump, you’ve been conned.

An acrylic and coloured pencil painting of a young coyote dressed as The Fool

An acrylic and coloured pencil painting of a young coyote dressed as The Fool

Once my secret project is completed, I have the sigil deck and Lenormand to finish. Then, I have decided to work on tarot decks exclusively. And because I now have to paint originals to pay the bills, I have made a start. This is Coyote - The Fool. A new journey begins.
