I would like to thank the pope for giving me so much ammunition to use against my Catholic MAGA relatives.
Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

(And I'm not talking about the McDonalds coffee lady--her case was legit. I'm talking about the guy who took the guard off a circular saw and nearly cut his dick off because the warning didn't *specifically* say you might cut your dick off if you remove the guard).

I'm certain that somewhere there is a lawyer who had to stand in front of a jury and argue that vacuum cleaners (and coffee grinders) should have warnings on them telling people not to put their penises in them, possibly with helpful diagrams.

One of my favorite parts of law school was getting to read the ridiculous things people did with consumer products that required companies to add really specific warning labels to their products.
"The patient allegedly injured his penis while repairing a coffee grinder. However, everything clearly pointed to vacuum cleaner injury."
