Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
the sooner they all realize this the better.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Top US Army general says he’s using ChatGPT to help make key command decisions

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.
Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.
Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.
You may use a student's preferred name, even if that name does name does not accord with their birth gender. • You may use any textbook you like, but omit any chapters on transgenderism or transgender identity. • LGB information and content is acceptable. It is only transgender that is forbidden. • Pride flags are acceptable forms of free speech in your personal offices.
Per an email I recieved from a source at Angelo State University, faculty have been told they will no longer be required to refer to students by their name at birth. Pride Flags are allowed in "personal offices." LGB topics are allowed, but textbooks must "omit any chapters on transgenderism"
this is less true than we all want it to be because a sizable number of right wing Epstein obsessives think he was trafficking 6 year olds not 16-year-old girls who they think should be allowed to marry

President Trump issued a barrage of orders Monday targeting Biden-era initiatives on global warming. The decisions come on the heels of the hottest year ever recorded.
This is probably a big part of why he did it, but I think a bigger reason is pure impunity. He knows the media that matters to him won't care, there will be no professional consequences, nothing will matter to anyone but the people he lives to anger.
I get that, I love audiobooks cuz I can do other mindless things like chores and stuff so I can focus my mind on the story
I adore the audiobooks though
They totally count but it is a different experience imo
Absolutely! And I like the show's horse in this case, same thing with Liandrin! Way more interesting
Super agree, the show has managed to make the cool Mat from the later books feel like a real person, they translated him into the early show, I absolutely love Mat so far and I like that they're not showing us much, it's making us all more curious about how they'll make him into the guy we know.
For sure, but that's one of the problems with the early books imo, Jordan didn't realize how serious and massive his world would be, I feel the changes later on were a bit of a tone correction. So in the show they have knock-on effects, but not on the destination, just how they arrive there.
I think they're right to do that, they would have had to have a lot more episodes per season to do the "country kids become serious" arc in a youthful way so they had to accelerate things a bit. None of what they've done, tonally, feels wrong they just moved the characters up in their development.
100% agree, that's why I've been giving the show lots of leeway, there is too much ground to cover this early
I listened all the way through! nearly from the moment I woke up to when I went to bed I had the audiobooks in my ears, but I was in university and had a lot of other stuff going on so it was at least a few hours a day
Good God, I thought I was going quickly and it took me 6 months last time 😳
It's totally the Karaethon Cycle. And the Tales of the Shadow Knight from the Kings Dark Tidings books!
