OK, folks. You can stop sharing all those fake quotes from Pope Leo XIV. “Enough of the idolatry of self and money!” Leo said. “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!” In the first weeks of the war, the Chicago-born Leo was initially reluctant to publicly condemn the violence and limited his comments…

Stunning story. (I had to take a break before I finished.) It was a doctor at the hospital who first told me I would likely take a thalidomide drug as part of my treatment. That couldn’t be possible, I told him. I knew the story of thalidomide, or at least I thought I did. It…
Lots of memes share unsourced quotes attributed to Pope Leo XIV. He hasn’t said “be woke” or “God doesn’t need soldiers,” but here are some recent words he did speak. Pete Hegseth, the U.S. defense secretary, has asked the American people to pray “every day, on bended knee” for a military victory in the Middle East “in…
During an idle moment I was recently talking with Googles Gemini about Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, and the bot cited Adonis as the source of the passage “I’ll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer; / Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale.”: / Graze on my lips, and if those…

March 29th, 1923. A new play opens in Berlin, and quietly changes the future. Onstage are workers who never tire, never complain, and never stop. They’re faster, stronger, and more efficient than humans in every way. They’re called robots. A sci-fi play born out of war and industrialization sparks a global obsession and a lasting…
