This is embarrassing, and not for @jan_murray

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

@KristinCarrigg Brown Rice has no higher purpose than to end up in this salad: https://t.co/IqfdSJMCqH

@hf_222222 Also, in 2026…that’s just no longer the visual language of “ordinary people.”

Ok but can we all agree that “skilled in all ways of contending” is actually the worst translation for polytropos?

[Matthew Cole @mattbencole]

I barely survived “telling writers they have to read is gatekeeping,” I don’t think I can live through “telling writers they have to write is gatekeeping”

We should all be more skeptical about claims regarding what AI can do.

More importantly, we should more hostile towards the justifications we are given for why AI is necessary.

I don’t need a slave for research and neither do you.

Choose death, obviously

[Luis David Alvarez @LD_Alvarez07]

El problema de fondo es que la narrativa que dice “la CIA creó, patrocinó, y/o financió el evangelicalismo” simplifica procesos complejos, minimiza actores latinoamericanos, confunde correlación con causalidad, reemplaza análisis documental por sospecha generalizada

@monkofjustice I am so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for you and your family.

Wild to get so bent out of shape about fried cutlets, as if most taquerias in the US weren't cranking out Tortas de Milanesa. If you were nice about it, they might even chop one up and put it in a burrito, chimichanga, or flauta.

[David Scott Harris @HVNYrefugee]

The loss of taste for country-fried steak (an American schnitzel), for burritos, chimichangas, and flautas is culturally genocidal and an existential crisis.

@jeffreyhwalton @Westmont @The_ACNA We have a small but scrappy Missional Community starting up with @westernanglican meeting for weekly evening prayer! Happy to connect with anyone in the area.

Toxic Credulity

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.

Creo que sería un cuento de Borges que empezáramos a escribir los artículos que ChatGPT dice que hemos escrito.

[Brendan Fraser Crane @bf_crane]

“Don’t yuck my yum” is a disgusting phrase, in both content and phonetics. Wielding vowels like a police baton

[Jonathan Adriel Diaz @JonathanADiaz]

@monkofjustice Thank you!

[Jonathan Adriel Diaz @JonathanADiaz]

@monkofjustice Is this in Canon 6? I’m afraid my non-lawyerly eyes are missing such a provision…

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

Harold Bloom said lots of silly things. No need to make a movie out of any of them.
