To avoid being over dramatic, I don’t think it will cost me much to not use Chat GPT for sermon prep and running a parish! But it’s still a serious matter.

A thread regarding TryTank and Generative AI in the liturgical life of the Episcopal Church. 🕯️

The Episcopal Church's innovation lab, TryTank, has announced the Rev. Peter Levenstrong as its first Senior Fellow. According to their instagram post: "Peter will be responsible for looking specifically for experiments that the church can conduct with regards to artificial intelligence." 🕯️

i just want david goggins to know jesus loves him and has already carried the boats

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

it really is an incredible gift to be a priest, to be trans, to be queer, to have been baptized, to be all or any of these things together. even here and now—a chance to understand the gospel promise “to live is Christ and to die is gain”. 🕯️

a third of the new ICE recruits trying to live out their brownshirt fantasies can’t even pass the fitness test my sister undertook to play JV basketball as an 8th grade girl. (and she passed! including a flexed arm hang, which ICE does not!) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Good News! A new Regime is starting. Get your support behind it now. The Regime will not tolerate your wars. Not your hot wars, not your cold wars, not your war on drugs, not your war on immigration. Cease striving, and know that He is God. #JesusIsKing

Our government. is firing. on purpose. at the press.

the fbi is considering adding trans people as a subgroup of what it calls nihilistic violent extremist groups. which is what i’d call today’s GOP. every accusation is a confession. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

if you’re a priest in TEC and looking for an associate/curate position with a house on the jersey shore dm me 🕯️

yearn for Christ’s healing

rcc bishops have been fostering maga sympathy for years now, to the point that practicing catholics such as desantis are gleefully abusing fellow catholics bc they happen to be brown migrants. sick and rotten to the core.

Hint of lime tortilla chips are the menthols of chips

@booker.senate.gov you literally voted to confirm marco rubio knowing his plans to illegally send migrants to a torture prison in el salvador

senator booker voted to confirm marco rubio knowing that he planned to send migrants to CECOT to be brutalized and tortured.

They will try to tell you, “Resistance is futile.” It is never so.

Jesus couldnt be more clear about what our obligation is right now as the Church. Our resources should overwhelmingly go towards caring for the most vulnerable in our communities. ICE is about to have 150 billion dollars. We need to put our bodies on the line to protect our immigrant neighbors. 🕯

Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep

@sanders.senate.gov, @kim.senate.gov, and @corybooker.com all voted to confirm secretary of state marco rubio knowing that he was laying the groundwork for the illegal deportation of immigrants to CECOT in el salvador. they have blood on their hands, too.

"no one wants a government handout" It's OUR MONEY. Our. Money. Every purchase, every paycheck, every year's filing, we pay into taxes. That is alllll a government money is. Our money, pooled in hopes it can be used to better everyone's lives, not to provide a "government handout" to the rich.

did @karanslade.bsky.social make this?

this is exactly what it feels like.

what the SCOTUS ruling on trans health care for minors means is that the government can force young trans people to have a body and gender expression they don’t want, causes them distress, and makes them unsafe. bc “fertility”. SCOTUS and the GOP are full of fascist creeps preying on kids.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga
