Pope Leo addresses the “delusion of omnipotence” behind the US-Israel War in Iran

“Enough of the idolatry of self and money!” Leo said. “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!”

In the first weeks of the war, the Chicago-born Leo was initially reluctant to publicly condemn the violence and limited his comments to muted appeals for peace and dialogue. But Leo stepped up his criticism starting on Palm Sunday. And this week, he said Trump’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization was “truly unacceptable” and called for dialogue to prevail.

The Price of Remission

Stunning story. (I had to take a break before I finished.) It was a doctor at the hospital who first told me I would likely take a thalidomide drug as part of my treatment. That couldn’t be possible, I told him. I knew the story of thalidomide, or at least I thought I did. It…

10 Ways AI Is Ruining Your Students’ Writing (And how to help them see that AI cannot craft good essays)

During an idle moment I was recently talking with Googles Gemini about Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, and the bot cited Adonis as the source of the passage “I’ll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer; / Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale.”:  / Graze on my lips, and if those…

I‘m interviewed in this podcast on one of my favorite plays, Rossum‘s Universal Robots.

They’re faster, stronger, and more efficient than humans in every way. They’re called robots. A sci-fi play born out of war and industrialization sparks a global obsession and a lasting…
