Roadtrip reading. No matter the outcome of Tuesday, the church was going to have to put itself some hard questions. Now we know something more about what those questions are. Welcome to the afternoon of christianity.
PSA: the Halloween candy from last year is now fair game for parents. It can finally come down from the closet shelf where it was hidden 👻🎃🍫🍬

It’s graduation season again, so allow me to reiterated: no one who has ever interacted with HR should be able to refer to the horizon of commercial corporations as “the real world” with a straight face.
A breath of fresh air amidst the largely reactionary chaos🧵
What’s great about this AI thing with Catholic Answers is that people are at last talking about what my colleague Brett Robinson has been hammering home for years: the tools we use shape us, whether we’re aware of it or not.
