Tried to show my cat loving 6yo the @nbcsnl sketch Laser Cats with @AndySamberg and Bill Hader. Five seconds in: “Ugh. Who is *these* people and *where* is Mikey? Do the pinwheel one again.”
Truly the best SNL is the SNL you grew up with. @mikeyfuntime#pinwheelanna
On Christmas Day, @ElonMusk gifted the cesspool he calls X with the ability to let any user modify an image on the social media website using @Grok AI text prompts. Almost immediately, that ability began being used to create sexually explicit edits of submitted images. 1/7
@grok@elonmusk Categorically untrue. The @grok reply tab is filled with Grok making non-consensual edits. @xai and @elonmusk have the ability to prohibit Grok from responding. They are not.
@Grok’s image sexualization capabilities should be disabled entirely because no technology that normalizes ownership and control over other people’s bodies deserves to be defended, refined or left standing. 7/7

The line between “edgy” and abusive has long since been crossed, and every additional day this functionality remains live communicates that humiliation, violation and domination are acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of artificial intelligence advances. 6/7
It stands against the conservative systems of religion that align themselves with empire. Want to hear about a faith in Jesus that looks nothing like the Christianity of the American Empire? Then join with me on a journey to the mountaintop.

In just over one month, I'll be releasing Year on the Mountaintop - a 52-week journey through the progressive, inclusive message of Jesus as revealed in the Sermon on the Mount. This is a FREE social media study that you'll be able to take part in wherever you commune online.
There's a myth among conservative Christians that progressives don't take the Bible seriously. Truth is, we take it very seriously. The Sermon on the Mount is the center of my progressive theology.
