Demotivational proof that not every caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly.

This was at a non-denom church.

This hymnal is wild. It has these little suggested services throughout based on certain themes…

It really feels like Pope Leo is truly the leader the church needs right now. Full text here: www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I for one welcome the imminent crustacean takeover.

“Church decline is inevitable and not your fault.”

Ok, then why is my parents’ little country church in a village of 420 people currently outgrowing their existing building?

We were fishing in the Red last weekend and hauled in a few tangles of fishing line covered in zebra mussels. Soon, there will only be zebra mussels.

Wild to watch the end of education unfold before our very eyes.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

I’ve lived by my father’s dictum since grade 3. “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”

You can accomplish so so much with a combination of “sin boldly” and “fake it til you make it”

Mostly benign stuff like recipe creation it sounds like so far, but my brother works for a tech company and is a bad influence.

If you’re in any kind of leadership position in the church the best thing you can do is find a passionate young person, give them some money and space and get out of the way. Cool stuff will happen.

One of the reasons I solicited & edited this piece is because I want ppl to distribute it to COMs, bishops, and other groups. Our process doesn’t have to be spiritually harmful www.thehourmag.com/volume-ii-is...
