Notes:
Well, this is awkward! It is very late on Monday night, and I completely neglected to clean up and post my Weekly that was “in progress,” and schedule this email to send to you!
Instead, I was doing wonderful things like:
*driving to St. Louis with one of you.
*having dinner with several of you (an Indian food collection from various sources such as Trader Joe’s).
*talking with my brother and sister-in-law about their upcoming trip planned by their kids, and all the terrific things they will be doing.
*with my middle daughter, watching several episodes of the UK version of the television show “Ghosts” which is laugh-out-loud funny. It has a Monty Pythonesque type of very British humor. More on that another time.
I consider all of that time well spent, and I hope you do, too.
But I do not have any “motors” as we like to call them around here. Instead, please enjoy a slightly expanded version of the “Interesting/Notable” section. See you next week, and remember how much I love you!

Magnificent Humanity
Pope Leo’s encyclical is out, and I haven’t yet read it. But I want to! I love the title: “Magnificent Humanity.” (Only a few of the paragraphs!)
The subtitle is also great: “On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence.”
I’ve enjoyed a lot of takes on it. Here’s one from Claire Swinarski of The Catholic Feminist:
Eliza Writes Things: First observations on “Magnifica humanitas,” Pope Leo’s encyclical about AI
Leah Libresco Sargent: “The limit, the heart and the grandeur of the human person”
