Getting dark at 3.30pm for 3 months makes everyone want to kill themselves. And it would cost nothing to change it.

Online trads be like: HENRY VIII'S DIVORCE led to THE ENGLISH REFORMATION which led to INDIVIDUALISM which led to LIBERALISM which led to DATING APPS which led to MY MATCH SAYING "I'M NOT REALLYLOOKING FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS" and therefore HINGE IS A HENRICIAN THEOLOGICAL PROJECT

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

NYT: Anthropic Nearly Walked Out on Pope Leo XIV’s AI Encyclical — Then Lobbied His Advisers

Chris Olah saw an advance copy of Magnifica Humanitas days before the Vatican launch and proposed withdrawing over its stance on machine consciousness. The pope held his ground.

Note well, apparently Anthropic tried very hard to get the Vatican to alter the text of "Magnifica Humanitas" just prior to its release so that it would not deny AI personhood.

“God is the third rail of rock and roll.” Reflecting on faith, honesty, and choosing to talk openly about God in music. Full conversation on The Magnificent Others with this week’s guest Michael Sweet of Stryper.

A tremendously encouraging service before the @marchforlifeuk today - +Horsham preached on the incarnation of Jesus and its implications for human dignity, Fr Tom celebrated holy communion, and +Bradwell sent us away with an episcopal blessing. Then... off to the march!

Um actually, this is the image of God:
john milbank@johnmilbank3Aug 15
We are actually NOT in the image of God *insofar* as we are physically and mentally impaired, as something called ‘disability theology’ wants to claim. It thereby actually impairs our human sense of the need to help and heal people! Only natural positive excellence images God.

These 1980s Madison Ave-style ads for The Episcopal Church are rightly famous for being witty and stylish. Here are two of my favorites. But they also evidence TEC’s worst tendencies. Condescending, polemical, snide, and suggesting we don’t actually take our religion seriously.

I love these Episcopal ads

For example, salvation is free!

“Free” is typically just a term which means “paid for by someone else.”

Watching University Challenge, and I'm pretty sure I've seen this guy in at least three Wes Anderson films.

Love how we spent the last seven decades dynamiting the load-bearing pillars of Western civilization just to reinvent them in a lamer form from first principles.

🧵THREAD: The govt is considering changing the obligations that cohabitating couples have to one another when they split. Put another way, People who never agreed on a contractual relationship will suddenly be forced into obligations they never signed up to.

RIP Origen, you would have loved Sphere Church

THIS IS A CHURCH. The giant white sphere forms the apse of the Chiesa Madre in Gibellina Nuova, Sicily. Standing 52 feet (16 meters) tall, it was designed by Ludovico Quaroni and Luisa Anversa for the new town created after the devastating 1968 Belice earthquake. Commissioned in 1970, the church did not open until 2010—four decades later. 📸 clementevb

Considering putting a link to the encyclical in my work email signature and highlighting it every time I have to reply to a real person I work with who has inexplicably used CoPilot to write me an email.

Great to catch up with Seminarian Ian Burgess at the Alma Mater. The House is in very good heart. Thanks to Fr Harri Williams and the staff for their wonderful hospitality. I am also delighted to report that the Christmas Conga continues.

Ok, I’m finally gonna explain it: “6-7” is the liminal point at which the sixth day ends and the Sabbath begins, and thus prefigures the dawn of the new creation.
