Mom insists we have both scalloped and mashed potatoes.

What this reveals is that for most people in charge right now “AI” is less useful as a technology than as a piece of language to shift a conversation in whatever direction they need it to go. In one minute it will propel a new economy; in another it’s the reason for a recession.

I hope stepping out of the robot will make more peeps feel free to speak candidly concerning Dr. Olasky’s conduct: baptistnews.com/article/75-y...
75-year-old Olasky named editor of Christianity Today – Baptist News Global
Russell Moore stepped down as editor of Christianity Today and will be succeeded by one of the most iconoclastic journalists of 20th century.

We got on the phone with one of the registered child sex offenders who submitted testimony against Illinois' homeschool bill. This is our conversation.

If anything is blasphemous or sacrilegious or taking the Lord's name in vain, it is this man talking about protecting vulnerable children

I’ve been reflecting this week about the tendency to interpret incoherence as profundity, a recurring phenomenon with a lot of potential causes.

This right here. How we are responding to this crisis is a fucking disaster.
Skilled teachers are being forced to teach from a box written by people who do not know the kids in front of that teacher & more than likely written by people who do not look like those kids nor understand their talents.

It is actually so insane that two sides on offer are “old guy who says we read via vibes” and “moral panic fueled policies advocating for state mandated adoption of boxed curricula based on a podcast people listened to once.” The crisis is a crisis. How we respond to the crisis is also a crisis.
