If you ever want to chat with someone on another planet, you better have a lot of patience. It takes a long time for a message from Earth to reach another world, and just as long for the reply to reach Earth. That’s because radio waves travel at the speed of light. And although light is pretty swift, its speed is limited – 670 million miles per hour. Given the scale of the solar system, that means there’s a long pause between halves of a conversation. Consider the planets that flank the Moon at dawn tomorrow: brilliant Venus to the lower left of the Moon, and fainter Saturn to the upper right. Right now, Venus is more than 58 million miles away. At that distance, it would take a radio signal from Earth about five and a quarter minutes to get there – a round-trip time of 10 and a half minutes. Saturn is about 930 million miles away. So the round-trip travel time is about two hours and 45 minutes. That’s a big concern for the folks who send probes to these and other planets. Despite what you might see in sci-fi movies and TV shows, there’s no way to have a real-time conversation. So spacecraft are programmed to do much of their work without direct help from Earth. And if they encounter a problem, they shut down most of their systems and place a call for help – then settle in for the long wait to hear from home. More about the Moon and Venus tomorrow.

The boys drink and review a double IPA from Dale's and then discuss AI companions. AI companions are coming whether we like it or not. In fact, they're already here. Most of us already talk to our computers, even if it's just to curse them for being clueless. So why not design machines that actually listen, respond, and understand us better?In this episode, we explore the promise and peril of AI companions. On the bright side, they're always available, judgment-free, and never moody. They offer affordable support for mental health, education, and loneliness. But there's a darker side too: they can create the illusion of connection, stunt real relationships, and cross dangerous ethical lines.P&C lay out the upsides, the risks, and the red lines society needs to draw — from protecting privacy to banning manipulative or emotionally deceptive behavior. Should AI ever pose as a friend, lover, therapist, or spiritual guide? Should emotionally persuasive algorithms be opt-in only?This conversation isn't just about technology, it's about what it means to be human in an age of artificial intimacy.More at ... https://www.pigweedandcrowhill.com/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYAjUk6LttQyUk_fV9F46R06OQgH39exQ#AI #AIcompanion #AIgirlfriend #scaryAI

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 15:1-8 - Jesus said to His disciples: "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does He prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in Me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without Me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in Me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become My disciples." Memorial of Saint Christopher Magallanes, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Saints Cristopher and Companions, pray for us!

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 287   The Saint of the day is Saint Cristbal Magallanes and CompanionsSaint Cristóbal Magallanes and Companions' Story Like Blessed Miguel Agustín Pro, SJ, Cristóbal and his 24 companion martyrs lived under a very anti-Catholic government in Mexico, one determined to weaken the Catholic faith of its people. Churches, schools, and seminaries were closed; foreign clergy were expelled. Cristóbal established a clandestine seminary at Totatiche, Jalisco. He and the other priests were forced to minister secretly to Catholics during the presidency of Plutarco Calles (1924-28). All of these martyrs except three, were diocesan priests. David, Manuel and Salvador were laymen who died with their parish priest, Luis Batis. They all belonged to the Cristero movement, pledging their allegiance to Christ and to the Church that he established, to spread the Good News in society—even if Mexico's leaders had made it a crime to receive baptism or celebrate the Mass. These martyrs did not die as a single group but over 22 years time in eight Mexican states, with Jalisco and Zacatecas having the largest number. They were beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. Reflection Every martyr realizes how to avoid execution, but refuses to pay the high price of doing so. A clear conscience was more valuable than a long life. We may be tempted to compromise our faith while telling ourselves that we are simply being realistic, dealing with situations as we find them. Is survival really the ultimate value? Do our concrete, daily choices reflect our deepest values, the ones that allow us to “tick” the way we do? Anyone can imagine situations in which being a follower of Jesus is easier than the present situation. Saints remind us that our daily choices, especially in adverse circumstances, form the pattern of our lives. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Viva Cristo Rey, Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe. That phrase use by Saint Christopher Magallanes and Companions, the saints who we celebrate today. Father Kubicki shares their story of courage.

AI companion applications, which create interactive personas for one-on-one conversations, are incredibly popular. However, they raise a number of challenging ethical, legal, and psychological questions. In this episode, Kevin Werbach speaks with researcher Jaime Banks about how users view their conversations with AI companions, and the implications for governance. Banks shares insights from her research on mind-perception, and how AI companion users engage in a willing suspension of disbelief similar to watching a movie. She highlights both potential benefits and dangers, as well as novel issues such as the real feelings of loss users may experience when a companion app shuts down. Banks advocates for data-driven policy approaches rather than moral panic, suggesting responses such as an "AI user's Bill of Rights" for these services.   Jaime Banks is Katchmar-Wilhelm Endowed Professor at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. Her research examines human-technological interaction, including social AI, social robots, and videogame avatars. She focuses on relational construals of mind and morality, communication processes, and how media shape our understanding of complex technologies. Her current funded work focuses on social cognition in human-AI companionship and on the effects of humanizing language on moral judgments about AI.

This week on Just James Podcast: "Embracing Change and Reinventing Yourself" Change; it's that unavoidable, often uncomfortable guest that turns up unannounced and overstays its welcome. But what if we embraced it instead? This week, I'm diving deep into how to adapt, evolve, and thrive through life's messy, magical transitions. Whether you're switching careers, starting over, or just figuring out who you are (again), I've got your back.Plus, ever dreamed of a furry flatmate but your tenancy agreement says no pets allowed? I'll walk you through how to approach your UK landlord with charm and confidence, turning that “no” into a “maybe” — and maybe even a “yes”!So pop the kettle on, grab a biscuit (or three), and let's talk about rolling with life's punches — and maybe adopting a pup while we're at it.

AI companions are becoming more popular, including with teens. We'll hear what new research says about the potential dangers for that age group. Plus, why a tiny town in Northern Arizona still relies on mules to get their mail.

5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere. 6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis. 8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.In hoc clarificatus est Pater meus, ut fructum plurimum afferatis, et efficiamini mei discipuli. 9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.Sicut dilexit me Pater, et ego dilexi vos. Manete in dilectione mea. 10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love.Si praecepta mea servaveritis, manebitis in dilectione mea, sicut et ego Patris mei praecepta servavi, et maneo in ejus dilectione. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.Haec locutus sum vobis : ut gaudium meum in vobis sit, et gaudium vestrum impleatur.

You know those heated arguments in the masjid about moon sighting, or the tension when someone corrects another's prayer? In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shows us how the Companions had passionate disagreements but never let them destroy their brotherhood.Shaykh (rA) didn't just tell us to "be nice" - he gave real strategies for dealing with conflicts, showing how to give advice without humiliating people, and explaining why some of our well-intentioned dawah efforts actually push people away.In an age where Muslim communities are fracturing over the smallest issues, where social media arguments turn into real-world divisions, we desperately need to learn how to disagree without destroying our bonds.This is about preserving relationships while standing firm on principles. Whether you're dealing with family disagreements, community politics, or just trying to navigate everyday interactions with other Muslims, the wisdom shared here is invaluable.If you've ever felt frustrated by divisions in the ummah or wondered how to correct someone without hurting them, this talk is for you. It's about building the kind of community where differences strengthen us rather than tear us apart.

A beautiful triangle decorates the dawn sky tomorrow. Two of its points are easy to see: the crescent Moon and the planet Venus, the “morning star.” The final point is a bit tougher: the planet Saturn, to the upper right of the Moon. It’s just half of one percent as bright as Venus, but its proximity to the brighter bodies will help it stand out. Saturn is about as faint as it ever looks right now. One reason is that it’s just emerging from behind the Sun, so it’s about as far as it ever gets from Earth – more than 950 million miles. The other reason is our view of Saturn’s rings. The rings span almost the distance from Earth to the Moon, and they’re made mainly of small bits of ice, which reflect a lot of sunlight. But the angle at which we see the rings changes – a result of Saturn’s changing seasons. Saturn is tilted at about the same angle as Earth. At the solstices, one of Saturn’s poles dips toward the Sun, so we see the rings at their best angle. That makes the planet especially bright. At the equinoxes, though, the rings are “closed” – we see them edge-on. The rings are no more than a few hundred feet thick, so they all but disappear. That makes the planet look much fainter than average. Saturn will reach an equinox in early May, so the rings have basically vanished. They’ll slowly tilt back into view over the coming months, and reach their greatest angle at Saturn’s winter solstice – in 2032. Script by Damond Benningfield

Ai Companions and the Future of Parenting I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video by @nate.b.jones where he described a future where everyone had A.I. companions as the norm. Of course you need to check out his video, but it got me thinking.... What if we do have AI companions in the future? We aren't that far from that now. Teens use their phones for companionship more than ever before. What will this mean for my grandkids? What does this mean for my own children when they have to parent with A.I.? Join me as I explore the idea of parenting in the future with Artificial Intelligence at the forefront.

What if I told you that a Roman Catholic priest just redefined reincarnation, Christ consciousness, and karma—in the same conversation?In this episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD sits down with Father Seán ÓLaoire, PhD—Catholic priest, clinical psychologist, and spiritual mystic—for an extraordinary conversation about mythic language, the feminine face of God, and humanity's evolutionary birthing process. From being raised by a Christian mystic and a Gaelic druid to integrating mathematics, meditation, and Mariology, Father Seán's journey is a tapestry of deep wisdom traditions woven into modern awakening.Father Seán shares how true spiritual communication happens beyond words, through what he calls “Mythish”—a soul-to-soul transmission of sacred truth. This episode dives deep into reincarnation, Christa consciousness, and the trifurcation of humanity into three emerging paths, providing a luminous roadmap for those walking the path of remembrance and purpose.

Kent Monkman talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Monkman was born in 1965 in St Mary's, Ontario, and today lives and works between New York City and Toronto. He is a member of the Fisher River Cree Nation in Treaty 5 Territory, in Manitoba, Canada, and uses the language of European and North American art to reflect on Indigenous experiences. He addresses colonisation and its legacies, loss and memory, resistance and protest, and the disparities between Native American and settler colonial attitudes to gender and sexuality, among many other subjects.Monkman is often present in his work through his gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a glamorous, supernatural, shapeshifting time-traveller. At once a witness, a trickster and an agent of change, Miss Chief is a key means for Monkman to subvert colonial perspectives, in challenging both the imagery of Old Master paintings and the construction of histories relating to Indigenous peoples. In the conversation, he describes Miss Chief's role—“living inside” his paintings—reflects on the reimagining of queer narratives of the American fur trade, and discusses the historical and present reverence for gender-fluid or two-spirit people in Indigenous communities. He reflects on the enduring impact of Eugène Delacroix's painting and writing, the influence of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith on his political conviction, and the dramatic impact of seeing Antonio Gisbert Pérez's painting The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga (1988) at the Prado in Madrid. He gives insight into the complex process of making his paintings and other aspects of his studio life. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors, Denver Art Museum, Colorado, US, 20 April-17 August; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 27 September-8 March 2026 Hosted on Acast.

In a recent essay, Artnet writer Annie Armstrong spotlighted a chaotic new force in the art world: red-chip art. It's the brash, chrome-dipped, algorithm-boosted cousin of blue-chip art—and it's booming. In her latest essay, Annie sketches out its archetypal collector: a guy barreling down the highway in a Cybertruck, checking his crypto wallet, queuing up a Joe Rogan episode, and racing to the next art opening—maybe an Alec Monopoly show, maybe a MSCHF drop. Red-chip art, as Annie defines it, is more than a market category—it's a mood. On The Art Angle this week, she joins Senior Editor Kate Brown to unpack this sensibility, tracing its fanbase from crypto bros to Kanye West, and its canon from KAWS's Companions to Daniel Arsham's sculpture of Mark Zuckerberg's wife in Tiffany blue. And yes, as Annie points out, red-chip art is not not related to Trumpism.
