Paco de Lucía’s guitar skills. He never learned to read or write music.
Here’s a description of the French Revolution by Tocqueville I’d never seen: “Half-way down the stairs, we threw ourselves out of the window in order to get to the ground more quickly.”
Hello @grok Do you know who was the most famous person (with the most followers) who visited my profile? They don’t have to be mutual. Don’t tag them, just say who it was
"Progressives" seek to destroy faithful Catholics because they perceive them as enemies. Progressives are not misguided Catholics but adherents of an entirely antagonistic faith, which they know contradicts theirs, and they act accordingly. Too many still don't recognize this.
Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger gave due process and a right to defend himself to Hans Küng, an outright heretic who never lost his job (only his license to teach as a Catholic theologian). Progressive bishops, by contrast, talk of mercy but ruthlessly purge the orthodox
Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan 🕊️💐 To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included. In 1984, I gave you your “HULKSTER” headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it…

If you disassemble a million stolen cars and reassemble new ones in various combinations from your vast warehouse of parts you are stlll selling stolen cars. That's AI.

AI destroys the ability to evaluate educational outcomes at scale The only option will be to evaluate small groups of student in an analogue fashion like hand written essays done in class Mass education will fail
This is the central problem with higher education in the age of AI. We can't require students to do take-home writing assignments (e.g. term papers) any more, because most will cheat and have ChatGPT or Claude or Grok do the writing. But we can't teach critical thinking,…
The Wizard of Oz turns 86 this year — and back in 1998, Rick Polito delivered the greatest one-line movie description ever in a TCM listing.
We warned for years that regime change efforts in Syria would lead directly to massacres of Christians and other religious minorities. To say nobody listened understates the problem. Those of us who saw exactly where regime change would lead were slurred as anti-Semites, Assad…
I just watched a horrific video of a Syrian terrorist cutting the heart out of a Druze civilian as he was alive and defenseless! I’m not going to link it here. It made me sick to my stomach. What’s being done to these people is unimaginable. Meanwhile, our envoy, Barrack,…
We call it the "NGO Accountability Act" making organization who facilitates the importation of illegal aliens liable for any additional crimes committed by them while in the US The families of victims can sue these people out of existence
