Tomorrow at 8:05am EST, I’m publishing a firsthand account of what happened at New City Presbyterian Church. It names the people involved, not to provoke, but because telling the truth matters. The Columbus Metro Presbytery owes its members honesty and care. #pca #pcaga #newcity

Reading on tech-billionaire politics lately, and it tracks almost exactly onto social darwinism, my old sociology focus. Different century, same move: dress up "who deserves power" as natural law instead of choice. #SiliconValley #SocialDarwinism #Sociology

@ffShaneB I'd ask the guy giving up Jahmyr Gibbs what his reasoning is and if he can't provide a credible case for it then veto it.

James Talarico: "Scripture tells us that you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse immigrants. You can't love God and oppress the poor. You can't love God and bully the outcast. We're gonna be judged by feeding the hungry, healing the sick, welcoming the stranger."

"I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate. I think he tell the senators on the floor 'depart from me. I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family'."

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

Our government posts memes and videos mocking and laughing at the suffering of immigrants and refugees. This is one more sick sign that something has broken in our souls.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
