[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

NEW: More Perfect Union is opening up our newsroom, connecting with students everywhere, and equipping them with the tools needed to unrig our broken economic system.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@frogs4girls if you haven’t read game of thrones & the rest of a song of ice and fire, please do yourself the favour. quality of prose, depth of character, symbolic richness and pacing are like nothing else I’ve read. so much more there than the show adapted

It should be much bigger news that Dartmouth’s Chair of Jewish Studies has been banned from campus for trying to defend her students.

Many of these protesters are Jewish.

Many of these faculty members are Jewish.

Calling these protesters antisemitic is putting them in danger.

My fear with generative AI isn’t that it’s good enough to replace artists, it’s that people who control art through money will force feed us dogshit because they don’t care about quality and can’t tell the difference anyway

@niamhbrownie as a fan of Irish Rugby, Mayo football and Waterford hurling at least someone derives happiness from this

[Harry Moran @harrym0ran]

two of the most influential men in tech. someone find a shred of self-awareness or media literacy for them to share

if you want to inspire kids, show them Iron Man. if you want more, try actually paying attention to the films you mentioned or even get GPT to do it for you

[Harry Moran @harrym0ran]

how did you manage to miss the point that badly

[Sam Altman @sama]

i was hoping that the oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that.

let's get that movie made!

(i think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.)

I don’t usually get personal on here but…🧵 My Dad is a refugee who made Ireland his home. He fled a repressive Czechoslovakia in 1967 at the age of 18. His older brother, Standa, had been imprisoned - for being gay they think - and was beaten to death in jail by guards...

This is a remarkable piece of work.

90 years of changes in landuse on a tiny corner of England. Extensively researched.

Multiply by thousands and you can understand the collapse of biodiversity and increased flash flooding.
