I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Just whatever you do, don’t end up with a selection from Shostakovich’s The Age of Gold ballet in northern Canada doing a geodetic survey over the winter!

I don’t think it’s just that (I’m sure there’s a lot of TLM attending Catholics who read the Gospels)
I think partly what happened is that during “Christendom” the conflicts Jesus had with the Pharisees et al were historicized or applied to “the Jews” in general

They were scandalized at the prospect that strict religious observance could very easily lead to self righteousness. This is the problem with the gospel not being proclaimed in the vernacular nor preached

Winter does not a Christmas movie make.
You need to *see* that it is Christmas time, and the whole movie takes place during that season. That's why Die Hard is a Christmas movie, and Harry Potter isn't, and The Thing will never be

My own tuppence is that these fake relics work a bit like icons
The icon isn't Jesus, this cup isn't really from the Last Supper, but the homage paid to them passes to the real thing (in the case of the cup it'd pass to Christ anyways as its symbolic of his blood)

"As the jubilee unfolds, the question of the Chalice’s authenticity is reemerging."
LMAO no it's not. Can Roman Catholicism please just move away from fake relic-peddling and mythology once and for all? (That was rhetorical, it can't -- gotta save face and keep making $$$ from credulous morons)

100 year waiting period for laity, 200 for priests and religious, 500 for popes
I'd be in favor of a 100 year waiting period with absolutely no exceptions and also my Proper of Saints is full of Post-Its. I don't think these things should be in tension.

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

I do think the tech/AI industry does want to go there, but going back to Musk using grok to "roast" his "friends" by using potty language about exploding rockets inside people's bumholes it should also be remembered that this guy probably doesn't write his own speeches and jokes either
Good point about why AI isn't being designed to replace domestic chores or tedious manual labor. The tech billionaires pushing this stuff into art and relationships have servants; they don't need robots.
These guys have never had to do any of that kind of difficult or gross stuff so of course AI is mostly a way to address their own lack of an inner life.

It's harder to freak me out about ADHD and autism as brand-new 21st century plagues when my siblings and I all had one or the other back in the 90s, and my parents are certain they did too and only weren't diagnosed because it was the 60s
I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next.
