Ok so here’s how it works
Dads with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Moms with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Dads with sons: Men’s restrooms.
Mothers with sons: Women’s restroom.
Hope that helps.

Every fan base has raised four digits for their on campus food bank, not to mention the money staying in Omaha to fight food insecurity. If you've been here, we love you. If you hate us, we love you. If you haven't been yet, we love you too. #roadtoroccos

@josh_5727 @CWSShotBoard @WVUBaseball @PatMcAfeeShow I’ll go out on a limb and respond. Ex of food insecurity- not having enough money to buy food. Money raised from selling Jell-O shots at Rocco’s during the CWS goes to food pantries in each team’s community

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[John Doomer @jonathandoomer]

The Pope just dropped the theological patch notes for the entire AI industry:

“Your chatbot can generate a breakup text, a fake Van Gogh, and a VC deck about replacing nurses, but it has never held its mother’s hand in a hospital room, never felt shame, never prayed, never forgiven anyone, never had to live with what it said.”

It can imitate the soul.

It cannot grow one.

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.

It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.

As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.

This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.

The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

BREAKING:
Speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane to Algeria on Monday, Pope Leo XIV said:
“I think that the people who read will be able to draw their own conclusions: I am not a politician, I have no intention of entering into a debate with him. Rather, let us always seek peace and put an end to wars. I am not afraid of the Trump administration. I speak about the Gospel, I am not a politician. I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused in the way some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, to try to promote peace, multilateral dialogue between states in order to seek the right solution to problems. The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel, blessed are the peacemakers; I do not see my role as that of a politician, I do not want to enter into a debate with him. Too many people are suffering in the world.”
