Fr. Jack Carroll, SJ

Fr. Jack Carroll, SJ was also published be The Manila Times on 17 January 2024. WHEN I resigned after more than a year working as a research associate at the Institute on Church and Social Issues (ICSI) in 1995, the late Fr. John “Jack” J. Carroll, SJ, who was the executive director, gave me a piece of cloth as a sendoff gift. He said he wanted me to be the best-dressed guy in Eastern Samar (I…

“Corporations rely on the illusion of corporate personhood, using expensively crafted “brand identities“ to present themselves to us as having personalities aimed at making us feel an emotional connection — and like we’re all in this together. But firms have no intrinsic virtues. They are not our friends. If a corporation is a “person”, it’s an immortal colony organism that treats human beings as inconvenient gut flora. It doesn’t have a personality, and it doesn’t have ethics. Its sole imperative is to do whatever it can get away with to extract maximum economic value from humans and the planet.”

Week 5 Tech Capstone

This week the focus is mainly on ideation phase of the IDEO human centered design, theory of change, journey mapping and storyboard are completed.

The theory of change framework is based on the impact ladder and the ecosystem mapping from the week before. The theory of change is used for finding what shifts/ impacts of the design is most suited for the problem statement. Working through the TOC, I find that the solution of using an AI chat app would be the most applicable due to the accessibility, simplicity and provides higher priority of impacts. The risk is also clear, due to the app being AI based there are chances of misuse AI, and AI providing bad advice or wrong information. While the TOC provides an insight into the specific changes of the design solution, but the framework does not take into account any other possible changes, maybe other frameworks can be used in tandem to make TOC more accurate.

Next, I worked on the journey map for the user, which helps visualize UX from start to end. This eventually lead to storyboarding.

The UX design is all based on the persona mapping done earlier, but the main problem is that this is all theoretical and not real users, and due to the code of ethics, the only user testing can only be done to classmate in the same course which may not be the perfect fit for the target audience. The storyboarding template is also very limiting and accounts for perfect outcome without the consideration of failure, maybe more storyboards can be done that does not have perfect outcomes.

i firmly believe that whether or not porter ends up being evil will depend on which is funnier. he's schrödinger's villain

"apparently if we do a miracle together it all works a bit too well" listen LISTEN i think this is why. i think the magnitude and power of that miracle they did together is what alerted the metatron and why he has come to separate them by all means, because they have not realized yet quite how powerful they are together and what that could mean!! this is why, i think???? they used to do each other's miracles and temptations for each other, but never with, and that could change everythign and could get in the way of certain Ineffable Plans (that i don't think are necessarily God's, looking at you villain metatrash)

DP x DC: The Rivalry

It's a little-known fact among the Watchtower residents that there is a fierce rivalry going on amongst its members. On one side, the Flash, a core member of the Justice League. On the other, Daniel "Danny" Fenton, Head of Engineering for the Watchtower.

Nobody knows when the rivalry started. Some rumors say that it began when, after hearing the Flash rant about how stupid it is to believe in ghosts, Danny took the effort to reroute all of his outgoing calls to the advice line of the JLD. Others say that after Danny doubled the max speed of one of the jets, Flash took it upon himself to have a joyride in it and then submit a complaint about it being too slow... twelve separate times, each one no more than 24 hours after Danny had finished the last speed improvements.

Ever since, the two have been taking potshots at each other with pranks large and small. Danny arranged a standard maintenance check to change room authorizations... resulting in the Flash being unable to access the kitchens for a week. In return, the Flash spent an entire week replacing every single cup of coffee Danny had with the cheapest, most watered-down decaf he could find - and he swapped out the mugs for Flash-branded ones as well. Danny's modification of the Flash's suit to change colors to randomized sets of the most eye-searingly-bright, clashing colors possible for exactly one second after being exposed to the Speed Force were met with "Kick Me!" signs taped to Danny's back.

But... surely this has gone too far, right? Flash... really can't think of what he can do to top this.

He stares as every single Watchtower engineer zips between tasks using the Speed Force as if it's nothing. It's not a permanent change, thank god, he can see the packs on them that apparently give them the Speed Force, but it's still ridiculous.

You know what, no. He's just... not gonna engage with that. He turns around and leaves the engineering department.

It becomes a lot harder to avoid engagement when, over the course of the day, he has to witness each and every member of the Justice League speed around with a Speed Force pack of their own. Shouldn't Batman and Wonder Woman be above this sort of thing? Why does Superman need to be faster?!

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dc x dp #dp x dc #danny phantom #dcu #Danny adds a more subtle version of his reverse-engineered Speed Force to Bruce Wayne's suits - as in the ones he wears to interviews #now Barry has to spend a MONTH seeing theories of Bruce Wayne actually being the Flash on the front page of every newspaper he reads #he DOES eventually ask Danny for a custom version of the color-changing version of his suit to cycle through the rainbow during Pride Month

So no Marina?!?!

#my art #splatoon #side order #splatoon spoilers #agent 8 #pearlina #my current theory is marina did an oopsie and shes the one who made this world #and thats why it doesnt seem like shes a companion this game #because shes like a secret (accidental) antagonist whos high off digital godhood or smth #she just wanted a perfect world with her pearlie where nothing changes and theyre together forever 🥺🥺🥺 is that so evil? #anyway im terrible at predicting the plot of these games lol but its a fun idea regardless #i just think marina not being shown is just SO COOL like..... girl what did you do..

wanna preface this by saying that i am. So normal. anyway i just spent the last week redrawing scenes from mystery skulls animated but as that hermitcraft au i posted about a couple times. you guys should watch msa it is. so so good.

Danny arrives in the DC universe and, for one reason or another, decides to help fight some bad guys. But he doesn't do it as Phantom or Fenton, oh no. He doesn't want either of his identities to get mixed up in all this nonsense and get traced back to him. So what does he do?

Crappy cosplay.

He's in Metropolis and Superman needs a little help? He's showing up in a blue tee with a paper superman symbol visibly tapped on the front. He's wearing blue jeans with red boxers over them. He's wearing a cheap mask of Supe's face that was clearly bought from the dollar store.

He's in Gotham? His cape and cowl is a curtain duck-taped into a barely passable hood with paper for the mask and toilet paper rolls for the ears.

Wonder woman? It's some kind of swim suit, put over his clothes mind you, and he has a wig that is clearly made of a mop.

He's showing up in bootleg merchandise, clothes that are the wrong color, accents that are made of paper and visibly taped on, armor that is made of cardboard and tinfoil, literal undergarments on the outside of his clothes, symbols put backwards or upside-down, costumes that generally look like he put them together in five minutes.

At some point, it becomes some sort of game amongst the Justice League to see who the cosplayer will dress up as next. They have a betting pool to see who's the next one to be cosplayed.

#dp x dc prompt #dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #danny phantom #as a joke he tries to stay on theme when cosplaying someone #as in he'll only use powers that he can reasonably say belong to that hero #if they use weapons he'll bring those weapons #but they're actual weapons #at some point everyone believes this kid is a meta whose power is the ability to gain a person's powers by dressing up as them #at some point all the League is fighting against someone so Danny duplicates himself so he can be there as everyone #that changes the theory to there being multiple cosplayers

hc that Dazai made a point of calling Chuuya small when they met because Dazai was used to being the small one.

like, finally there was someone shorter than him. because let’s be real, Dazai was barely taller than Chuuya in Fifteen.

i think people forget how small Dazai was too— not just in height, but also in weight. He was underweight in Dark Era, but in Fifteen & even at present he's barely within the healthy weight range for his height. he was constantly described as a twig in Fifteen, and almost every time he's introduced in the light novels he's called lanky, slender, etc.

#even in terms of his present day height. like yes he’s tall #but he’s not even close to one of the tallest in bsd. he’s just tall compared to Chuuya #fic writers should really take advantage of the fact that Chuuya called Dazai a twig in 15 #‘but what about broad shoulders Dazai?’ pretty sure that’s just how harukawa draws 😭 like basically every character has ‘broad shoulders’ #if you look at it like that #i recently came to the realization that i gatekeep my hcs & theories fsr?? so i’m trying to change that lol #i wrote this in the tags of a post but figured it deserved its own post #rambling about bsd again #bsd #bungou stray dogs #soukoku #skk #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya #bsd analysis #bsd meta #tw weight #bsd hcs #skk hc

Week 4 Tech Capstone

This week some work were done following the IDEO design kit, frame your design, impact ladder and ecosystem mapping work sheet were completed.

The literature review from previous week help gave insight into filling this worksheet. From going through the worksheet, I realized that the how might we statement need to be change to better fit the topic. While I did complete this worksheet, I feel like more insight can be inputted into it and the fact that this was done in less time than the recommendation on the website suggests that more work can be done.

Here is the impact ladder (left) and ecosystem mapping (right), both would be used to complete the theory of change framework. While the website provided comprehensive guide for completing the impact ladder, there are very little information on the ecosystem mapping. The work was done on rough estimation of the framework, but these two framework probably will not play a huge role in the final project as these would be edited when working through the theory of change.

Lastly for this week, I worked on the presentation slides and scripts for Monday. Discussion on depression is difficult as it is a multi faceted issue and relating this all back to emerging technology is not an easy task.

Strange thing I've noticed on the website but the Welcome Home logo is looking... dirtier?

Here's what the home page logo looks like:

And here's what the logo looks like on every other page:

It's easier to notice on the orange, yellow and pink letters.

Probably isn't anything too significant but I figured it was worth pointing out after the mentions about mold

[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]

This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.
