It’s a bit of a stretch to say being asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood (which he does in the video) is coming from the same place as asking Kennedy to promise not to be controlled by the pope.

Michigan State Football is now 1-31 in Big Ten play since 2022
The worst 4-year stretch of any team in Big Ten history

Ok, can we stop talking about Ben Johnson like he invented the Wing T, the Wishbone, the Forward Pass, the Option, the Shotgun, the West Coast offense, the Pistol, and the Wildcat? Please?

Listen, I don't know if the Lions are fixed. The Cardinals are not a good team.
But I'm still going to enjoy the shit out of this one. It's been a dark four weeks, and this blowout win feels cathartic.

4 straight three-and-outs feels like an NFL record after watching this defense for 4 weeks.

I do like that Leo can be rhetorically firm like this, while not losing the doctrinal nuance, that it is our relatively new found ability to otherwise protect the common good which makes the death penalty inadmissible.
Pope Leo XIV reaffirms the Catholic Church’s rejection of the death penalty, recalling that the common good can be “safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment.”

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
Has anyone challenged the very first premise? Why should talking to a machine feel “just as natural?”
The whole point of building Tavus has been simple: talking to a machine should feel as natural as talking to a friend or coworker.
It’s hard to describe all the tiny nuances that make a conversation feel human. The little expressions. Moving around in your chair. Knowing when to speak and when to listen. The dance of it all.
Griffin is by far the closest anyone has come to a model that can capture those nuances. The first time I saw it being used, I had no idea I was watching our model rather than just a normal video call.
I’m so incredibly proud of this team and what they’ve built.
