Sam Neil ran a sustainable farm where he raised rescue animals & planted native plants.
He advocated for endangered species, fought against destructive mining projects & committed to farming without chemicals because "the future of the planet depends on our stewardship. RIP.
GOODBYE . My friends, I’m just going to walk quietly away from Twitter for now . I am not happy with what’s happened at Twitter & I’m not happy to be in a place that is so angry & divisive . But I’ll still be alive on Instagram. https://t.co/23YkeePui4
And I miss my blue tick !
There's a great bit in Jurassic Park at the velociraptor dig site where the guy behind the computer is so excited about the fossil-scanning tech he says that "A few more years development and we won't even have to dig anymore" and Alan Grant replies "where's the fun in that?"
I don't think I've ever been truly sad about a celebrity passing away until now. What a gut punch, you'll be deeply missed Sam Neill. At least you get to see your little dinosaurs again.
For the most part this is true. Casual viewers of the show don’t actually care about the ships/niche fandom content. However, most people I’ve interacted with HAVE heard of it!! Would not call it a niche show overall.
The problem with some Supernatural fans is they’re chronically online. So they don’t realise that it is still quite a niche show that did moderately well worldwide.
Most people I speak to know Jensen from the Boys, Jared they may know from Gilmore Girls; Misha they don’t know.
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
It will never cease to be funny to me watching people discover that, with the exception of queerness and abortion and divorce, at its core the Catholic Church is woke and has been for a very, very long time
St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of ecology, pray for us that we may follow your footsteps to care for our common home in the Special Jubilee of your 800th anniversary of your passing.
Pray that Catholics around the world work together to combat climate change. Laudato Si'!
"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."
