Great new episode from Peter McCormack, talking with Fernando Nikolic about how they've both been building cool stuff with AI. It's interesting seing how AI tools are empowering people to build their own custom software. People who wouldn't have previously interacted with Github repositories, environment variables or deployed code to hosting providers are starting to become software engineers. I think content creation using these too..
Too many people today are without good. strong preaching. to the detriment of all. Share the good stuff. Was there a GOOD point made in the sermon you heard at your Mass of obligation for this 3rd Sunday after Pentecost … Read More →

It has long been recognized in some circles that. in a deep sense. nearly all serious- and real-Christians nowadays are converts. They have to be. because mainstream Christianity is so feeble. so shallow. so materialistic. What follows therefore references only real-serious Christian churches - not the 'liberal' kind. which organizations are just variants on Christian-themed social-club charity fund-raisers - plus less or more left-activism....
At Law and Liberty. Dalrymple examines the recurring temptation to disqualify detested politicians on psychiatric grounds. from the 1964 Goldwater survey to Dr. Bandy Lee’s 2017 book on Trump. arguing that such diagnoses offer nothing beyond moral judgment dressed in the borrowed robes of science. It is obvious that this offers no fresh illumination to (…)
Yesterday’s Bible lesson was already a bit long. but I need to add something that may not be obvious. In 2 Thessalonians 2. Paul quotes from Daniel’s description of a type of Antichrist. Daniel does the same thing we saw … Continue reading →
More than 15 years ago, the Supreme Court removed limits on corporate political spending in its notorious Citizens United decision, ushering in an era of unprecedented influence by moneyed interests. As a result, a small group of ultrawealthy donors have skewed the political system to their advantage — and today, social scientists link the growing gap between rich and poor to that [...]
The New York State Assembly made history this month by passing what could become the country’s first statewide moratorium on large new data centers. To activists all over the U.S. who are fighting these facilities and their massive social and environmental impact, the development seems like a turning point.  “In almost all 50 states, there’s [...]
More than seven decades after the Fifth Pan-African Congress demanded the complete liberation of Africa from colonial domination, the continent still finds itself trapped in the structures of dependency. The resolutions of the historic 1945 Congress in Manchester were clear: African nations deserved full political and economic independence, the removal of foreign domination, and the [...]

Five years after announcing her boycott of Israeli publishing, Sally Rooney’s latest novel Intermezzo will now appear in Hebrew for Israeli readers. But this is not a betrayal by Rooney. I want to be clear about that because I believe her to be a person of genuine integrity. The reality of this development is nonetheless insidious and troubling. The deal [...]
It was virtually inevitable that, once the British government decided to actively support Israel’s mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza, an unprecedented, authoritarian crackdown on dissent back home would follow. That climate of official repression culminated this week with the Court of Appeal — the UK’s second highest court — upholding the government’s proscription last year of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. [...]
In August 2024, Palestine Action activists raided an Israeli arms factory in Bristol, causing property damage and a clash with security. Though convicted only of criminal damage (and one of grievous bodily harm without intent), four now risk sentencing under the UK’s Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Act, which allows judges to apply a “terrorism connection” to [...]

Next week’s elections in New York have typically been talked about as contests between candidates, often Democratic party centrists and socialist insurgents. But given the large sums of money flooding these races, it’s more accurate to see them as contests of people-powered campaigns versus a collection of corporate interests and pro-Israel oligarchs. This year has [...]
The Afghanistan War Commission, created by the U.S. Congress in 2021, will deliver its final report in about two months on lessons learned from the 20-year war. The commission has already noted that the U.S. government, by empowering strongmen and failing to build accountable institutions, badly undermined the state-building effort. Nonetheless, some former Afghan officials remain in denial [...]
The United States and Iran announced a framework agreement earlier this week to end the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression on Iran. Whether or not this agreement holds, the United States has lost this war of aggression in every sense — moral, legal, political, economic, reputational, and strategic. Iran held out for 39 days against the [...]
There was nothing to commend Starmer. A political dud, he was put in place following Corbyn’s 2019 defeat after a legal career – in Northern Ireland and at the Crown Prosecution Service – of kowtowing to those in power. The sordid story was told in an effective broadside by Oliver Eagleton in The Starmer Project [...]
I encountered this word for the first time yesterday. while reading a memoir. It describes a member of a sports club who doesn't actually play. but who helps out and hangs around the clubhouse. It comes from Irish rugby. although the guy who's memoir I'm reading used it in the context of a rowing club.You can read a discussion of alickadoos here. from a rugby fan forum.There's a charming theory of its origin. which seems too good to be true....
I entered this query into a search engine. and it returned the following answer. [Obviously AI-generated. which I generally avoid. but its very impersonality might be appropriate here. I'm well aware that AI tells you what you want to hear. but this is all stuff that anyone could independently verify.]1] The Big Bang Theory: The prevailing scientific consensus is that the universe originated in a massive expansion event. This model was actu....

Nike and Spectre settle in for a comfy fireside about culture. kampfy and hygge. We wonder about endgame for judea and judaism and its cursed line. how the American people were told one too many times that for ‘Americanism.’ “failure is not an option” when in fact that’s ZOG and America’s only path forward [“Daddy....
