“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.” “‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

No, we are not going to talk about how weird that dream was.

Tonight one of my teammates commented "That's life on arena ice," and it sounded like "life in a northern town." So I will be working on that while I stay awake in my empty apartment, waiting for a couch delivery between 7 and 10 am.

Me, switching to overnights.

I'm so mad at myself. I decided to catch up on sleep instead of buying groceries. And I woke up to a swirling, whirling snowstorm. Saltines for dinner (breakfast) it is.

And here we have someone who did not watch the GSOC and/or participate in the discourse about eliminating extra ends in favor of skip draws.

The Gen X urge to call you up in the middle of the night, like a firefly without a light.

Can't wait until my couch gets to my apartment on Saturday! Hopefully that will make it easier to get my sleeping schedule where I want it.

Was watching the US vs Italy men's curling game, and kept getting distracted by how sexy the one Italian's shoes were. (The ones designed to look like the Italian flag.)

Happy Tuesday the 17th to all my PsychOs out there!

This made me laugh because it is definitely Canada on the left and Sweden on the right.

As an LDS curler, I have no qualms about getting up and moving to any major metro area because I will have at least one, if not two, social support systems. The downfall is they're tightly knit groups, so entering Witsec would be a challenge.

Every four years the world gets re-introduced to the glorious sport of CURLING! 🥌 This year I've decided to share a curling fact every day for the duration of the Olympic Games. Follow this thread for everything you never knew you wanted to learn about curling! 🧵

Trying to decide if I should have a meal or a nap for lunch. (Been up for 13 hours on 4.5 hours of sleep, after working 16 hours on 3.5 hours.)

New favorite sentence.

Shout out to Jesus and Dr. Pepper for getting me through yesterday, today, and lets face it, tomorrow, too. Can't wait to switch to overnights on Sunday!

Had me in the first word, not gonna lie.

Cory AND Korey? In this economy? 🥈🥌

I love curling! I love the Olympics! I love Olympic curling!

River knows that I don't want to go back to the house.

Sometimes you throw the curling stone, sometimes you are the curling stone.

Do I even need to see the halftime show?

My life lately. (Not ready to elaborate.)

I fully admit that one of my favorite shots is "aim here and hit something."

The dirty secret of bowling is that no one involved in the sport will admit that the holes in the balls don't do anything.

I sprinkled some deodorizer on my carpet before running the vacuum and felt like I was pebbling ice.

Ughhhhhh.....I need a swift kick in the butt to say the hard thing. My roommate is still trying to come up with ways to accommodate me so I can sleep. I told her the overnights are why I was looking at moving. Which is true enough to be true, but its not the full truth.

Preach!

Remember that crud I had just before Christmas? I think its come back. Had the same post nasal drip this morning, and it's turned into nasal drip tonight. Still getting keys for my new place on Friday, but if this isn't gone in the morning, I'll be emailing the sub list.

This is the first one that came to mind, mostly because I thought the line that follows the title was a parenthetical addition to the title. But just tonight, I rediscovered How Did We Get From Saying 'I Love You' by Great Big Sea.

“This is propelling the Constitution into a woodchipper.”

Reposting not just to share, but to find it and watch later.

Big day for me. Got approved for an apartment, put in my 2 weeks, got amazing cuddles from the niece, put the nephew to bed with zero issues. Came home and couldn't get in. The garage door opener wasn't taking the code, so I called my roommate, who owns the home.

The article mentioned dudes are PO'd that they were taxed on a bonus and that they didn't have health insurance benefits after 2 months of employment. These are SOP for the majority of employers in the private sector, too. Sucks to suck about the late paychecks, though.

Please don't cancel me for laughing at this match up in my feed. (See alt text for context.)

Between posts like these and reading books that take place in Venice, my brain belly will be eating well.

I have a friend/acquaintance in MSP who has checked in on me a couple of times this month. I haven't got back to her because I don't want to admit to her that I'm failing adulting. And my ignoring her is about to send me on a guilt spiral.

The only ice that belongs in former commercial warehouses is curling ice. 🥌

My first boyfriend's bedroom had a random toilet in the corner of it. No sink or partition. Just there, off to the side while we played Paperboy on NES. They remodeled later, and made a master suite of it by walling it off, adding a shower, and merging the 2 BR downstairs into one.

Reminder: 52% of adults in the US read below a sixth grade level.

All morning, I've been telling myself I'm about to be poor but I'm happy. Guess what Alanis Morissette song played at lunch?

My dating life be like

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

My Newswriting class joked about getting TDP tattoos because of how much our professor stressed them. Time Date Place

The Louvre is in France. Hang this in the MOMA, next to Washington crossing the Delaware.

When I went downstairs to switch my laundry, my shuffle was playing If Venice is Sinking by Spirit of the West. Came back up and New Orleans Is Sinking by Tragically Hip was playing. Does that make me Canadian?
