@realcaseyrollins yeah, I wondered about the timing of this.

This reminds me of how the Living Wage push for part time teenager first jobs led to kiosks and fewer jobs.

Last time this happened it led to the rise of "reality TV", right?

Will this strike push for AI replacing writers? Maybe not away... Maybe there's contracts in place. But I wonder if this one thing will lead to the other.

My Jr higher was asking about reliable news sources.

I suggested to him that people used to think good news was information that aligned with reality.

Today we get alignment with a narrative regardless of reality.

I settle for sources with a declared bias because then you know how to filter it.

Funny to see a post yesterday about how people should be scared of Fox News CoMiNg fOr yOuR FaMiLy.

Fox is going after the guy that the "Fox news is ScArY" crowd are upset about.

In a situation with one of my teen sons that seems hopeless.

And yet, God does pretty good with hopeless.

May we not grow completely weary.

@steele Is there always am inherent conflict here? Anyone who thinks another should be jailed is an un Christ like clown? Or is it only in certain categories?

Yesterday I thought, wait.... Have we ever seen Lemon and Carson in the same room?

Now the same lawyer represents both.

Here's my theory.... Fox and CNN realized they had someone working in disguise at a competitor and let him go.

But which is the costume? Was Carson dressed to as Lemon to make a mockery of leftists, or was Lemon dressed up as Carson to make a mockery of Conservatives?

@freemo I'd recommend reading this book for anyone feeling in the dark about the background of this topic and wanting to understand the conflict, driving philosophical movements, and how it's playing out specifically in the US.

@swcollings experiencing the same thing here in a single party Democrat state blocking input from republican leaning cities and counties.

@thor My nonfiction reading has convinced me that I have an obligation to read fiction.

I'm not an author, probably not going to be able to communicate how and why I'm this medium, but thought I'd mention it as I hadn't been drawn much to fiction as an adult, but my nonfiction reading has me convinced I must pursue it.

@jonafato @tylerdave another vote for qksms. I tried simple sms when I saw this thread, but couldn't swipe to archive (archive, not delete), immediately went back to qksms.

@swcollings Maybe you're right,at the individual level.

But if we all claim scriptural basis, as was the case in the idea of the reformation you started the thread with, then we have common ground to discuss and evaluate interpretative. If we move away from scripture, that's categorically different... and the common ground is gone?.

@swcollings I suppose. But i think it's categorically different to shift away from scripture as authority vs have different interpretations of it as authority.

Today I hear church leaders moving beyond scripture rather than rediscovering a more accurate way of understanding it
