Christ’s Descent into Hell

 

Ratzinger on Loneliness

 The fear of loneliness. the anxiety of a being that can only live with a fellow being." Death is a "door through which we can only walk alone" - it is "absolute loneliness" - and Hell "the loneliness into which love can no longer reach."

We adore thee

 We adore Thee O Christ and we praise Thee;Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

No need to be looking for myself

 Just read some CS Lewis at the Catholic Thing website.

I don’t need go looking for myself.

I needn’t worry what impression I make on other people.

Just say the truth and you will be original without trying to be original.

Happy Monday of Holy Week

 

AI on hate speech

 I asked AI if ‘I hate bacon’ is hate speech. I got this answer:

As an AI language model, I can provide some guidance on this topic. "Hate speech" refers to any form of communication, whether spoken or written, that offends, threatens, or insults individuals or groups based on attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. 

The AI then said that “I hate bacon’ is not necessarily hate speech unless it offends, threatens or insults someone.

So I have a definition of hate speech.  Can I still say it is a nebulous concept?  I say I still can.  The definition conforms to my other definition of ‘hate speech’ that says it is something that wokesters and progressives and leftists don’t like.  There are all sorts of things that offend, threaten or insult wokester sensibilities — the truth especially.

Musk & Lemon

 Elon Musk says he bought Twitter because he wanted more free speech.

Don Lemon insisted that he also wanted Free Speech.

Lemon tells Musk that Hate Speech has increased on the Twitter/X platform since Musk bought it.  Lemon then told Musk to moderate this ‘Hate Speech.’

Hate Speech is a silly, nebulous concept.  Is saying ‘I hate pizza!’ Hate Speech?  I would think so, but it probably wouldn’t be to people who take the concept of Hate Speech seriously.  Hate Speech is probably anything that progressives, shitlibs and Don Lemon don’t like.  So Don Lemon et al don’t really like free speech if they think is hate speech..,

Hey Hate Haters!

 For those who think hate speech is a concept worth taking seriously, I have a created a moniker for you:  Hate Haters.

So.  Hate Haters.  Tell me if the following can be classified as hate speech;

I hate bacon.  I hate tofu.  I hate hate.  I hate haters.  I hate hate haters.  I don’t like bigots.  I hate bigots.  I hate insomnia.  I hate what cancer can do to people.  I hate white people.  I hate laziness.  I hate war.  I hate the devil.  I hate evil.

To my way of thinking, the above sentences are all hate speech because they express a hatred of something.  And if that is the case, then hate speech isn’t such a bad thing.  The expressions of hatred above were, for the most part, expressions of good, decent sentiments.  What can be bad about saying you hate cancer?

Hate Haters are making ‘hate’ seem to be solely a bad thing, when in fact it is just an expression of one’s amount of like or dislike of something,

What if all the shoe makers decided to be free?

Yes. What if all the shoemakers decided they wanted to be free and not make shoes?

What if all the young women decided they didn’t want to make babies because they wanted to be free?

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

 

Some in the crowd said

 

Who decided what is disinformation or misinformation ?

 If you ever go to the modern airport and deal with its soul-crushing stupidity, it’s obvious that the bureaucracy shouldn’t decide.

 Others in the crowd said.

Does a mob have this occur?

HST on abandoning breakfast.

 “ After more than ten years of trying to deal with politics and politicians in a professional manner, I have finally come to the harsh understanding that there is no way at all-not even for a doctor of chemotherapy with total access to the whole spectrum of legal and illegal drugs, the physical constitution of a mule shark and a brain as rare and sharp and original as the Sloat dia-mond-to function as a political journalist without abandoning the whole concept of a decent breakfast.”

Hunter S. Thompson

I couldn’t abandon breakfast either but for different reasons and I wouldn’t have an HST breakfast.

 The translation of this message from a high school WeChat was a bit startling.  It turned out that Jiang Chen Xi had diarrhea,
