I need this election to be over. I can't take anymore of these ads that sound like they're straight off a page of Mein Kampf.

The are no natural disasters. There are natural hazards that impact vulnerable human communities. Wise land use choices and risk conscious mitigation strategies are the 1st line of defense for preventing natural hazards from becoming disasters. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/09/t...

Driving through the SL Valley with 2 of my siblings, and one of their spouse-all believing members. We passed the Taylorsville Temple. One of them said, "That temple looks so funny. Why did they put THAT thing right THERE? It looks so out of place." I didnt jump. I felt like I was being baited...

... Im still the only one who is formally Out of the Church. But as the conversation went on, with the other people in the car, and about whats happening with the Texas and Wyoming Temples, I felt more welcome with them. Either they too are seeing flaws in the Corp, or they want more solidarity...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

#ChurchStory. A family member from out of state is visiting for vacation. He is in leadership (SP). He planned on attending our local congregation without us, despite us no longer believing, or practicing. But he accidentally forgot his White Shirt. So he is not going to go to church at all. #LDS

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
