Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

This reminds me of when I was roasted and almost lost friends for saying “A FOOD PREFERENCE IS NOT A PERSONALITY” - people really took that one personally.
You know what food I hate? Your personal favourite food. Inedible garbage.

the soapbox I will die on is that we don’t give animals enough credit and we will never, by nature, be able to know how intelligent they are because our definition of intelligence is too narrow.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

this is also a good time to remember: if you need help feeding your pet, there's a really good chance that your local rescue &/or SPCA is giving away pet food rn; they know times are hard all around and no one should have to decide between feeding themselves or feeding their pets
Not me bursting into tears because the guy at the grocery store is buying 40 cans of Fancy Feast turkey and gravy for his feral cat rescue Thanksgiving dinner 🥹
