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.
Instant regret each time I try to read something under The Athletic #ArtistInTheSweetScience

My god.
He was a bystander, ICE pulled from his car, and then shot him in front of his 3 year old daughter.
The agents must be held accountable.
And we MUST end the ICE gestapo that the President has let loose on this country!!
"The individual fatally shot by federal agents in Maine on Monday was not the target of an immigration enforcement operation, Sen. Angus King said this afternoon, reversing his earlier statement," @priscialva reports.

my biggest gripe with Google Maps when using the nyc subway, is that it optimizes for less walking but more transfers
I want an option for no transfers with a 20 minute walk to and from the subway

On the importance of lighting on sculpture.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.
Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Focus on building the party you actually support.
Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
