Thousands of CEOs admit AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago | Fortune In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.”

Damn. Iran just dropped an A+ level troll on Trump in this new LEGO movie.

I’m no fan of Iran at all… but this one actually nails him. 😂😂

Clergy and church leader friend in the Episcopal Church—starting next Monday I'll start sending out the TEC Trajectory study surveys (the extension of the bright spots surveys I did last fall) to pretty close to every church in TEC (the criteria is that they had an asa of at least 15 in either 2011 or 2024 and still be active). They'll be coming from either an @trinityosh.org or @forwardmovement.org address. Here's what I need from you: please share widely in your dioceses that this is coming. Please check for the emails, including in your junk email. PLEASE FILL IT OUT (I only need on submission per survey per church, with 3 or 4 surveys). And finally, if you are not a supervising clergyperson or rector, please check with your supervising clergyperson or rector and make sure they got it and filled it out. This extension is going to give us VITAL control data to know what practices truly set growing churches apart from the rest, which will offer potentially actionable things for ALL of us. It will also give us something of a TEC census on things like piety, etc. We need as many churches as possible to fill it out. So, if you do nothing else, share this post!

FYI for all my Episcopalians out there! 📕
