Much to shock of AI enthusiasts, Pope Leo XIV decreed this morning that he is your only friend. He is not your only friend but he's a little glowing friend but really he is not actually your friend but he is.

Yeah, but what if you need it to wash down the nachos that you also brought to the job interview?
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

You can tell a more nuanced story of Scrooge without trying to "both-sides" it into some mealy gray mass.
