These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

“So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.”

Some say it’s bad to be “woke”. But the Bible tells us to keep awake. I listen to love over tyrants, every time. ⚓️

Yesterday a hundred people came to our little church to hear Christmas Jazz Vespers with Bill Carter and the Presbybop Quintet. It was JOY. My face hurt from smiling.

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

See how this works?
