RIP Pope Francis. This from the Stations of the Cross he led last Friday:
“Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell.”

Heartily co-sign this. We have to preserve our humanity and energy for what lies ahead . . .
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Given the choice today between grading student papers almost certainly written using AI and preparing my webinar presentation tomorrow on business involvement in war crimes, I’m definitely preferring the latter. #teachingintheAIerasucks
