Skipping Independence Day because Trump is trying to coopt it is...letting him coopt it. Proceed as usual, because it's our country, our anniversary, and our celebration.

[Senator John Curtis @SenJohnCurtis]

Latter-day Saints are among the most patriotic, service-oriented individuals in our country. They are also unequivocally Christian—just look at who is in the name of the Church.

It is unacceptable for a government entity to characterize a faith in a manner that contradicts the religion’s own foundational tenets. I am working now to ensure a correction is made.

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.

Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:

"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."

He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.

His point is something most people are too afraid to say.

AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?

He also flagged something nobody is talking about.

AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.

"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."

And his final warning was the sharpest of all.

"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."

The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.

Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

This is the right approach. AI is not inherently bad. Like anything that makes important decisions, it needs a moral compass.

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

Speaking at the Athens Summit on AI Ethics, Elder Gerrit W. Gong, (@GerritWGong) an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, urged faith leaders, scholars and technology experts to help anchor AI with a moral compass.

Graham Platner calls out Jeff Bezos: “There’s absolutely no question that if we target the wealth where it has been hoarded for decades and put it into social programs like healthcare, childcare, paying teachers what they are worth, we will absolutely improve the lives of working Americans. I think what he is pitching is propaganda. It’s meant to protect himself and protect his crony friends and we’re gonna come after them for it”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Joe Rogan on James Comey: “It’s nuts. You’re going after someone for something that’s just silly. 8647 is get rid of 47. Arresting a guy for that is nuts. If the guy really was dirty you should have something on him other than this seashell picture”

This talk contained the outlines of a profound civic theology that @OaksDallinH has spent much of his life developing and articulating. I’m excited for more people, inside and outside of our church, to hear more of it.

[Dieter F. Uchtdorf @UchtdorfDF]

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a small group of women rose while it was still dark and made their way towards the tomb where the body of their beloved Lord, Jesus Christ, had been laid to rest.

Despite grief, fear, and unanswered questions, they encountered the empty tomb and learned for themselves the glorious truth of His Resurrection.

These few women became the world’s first witnesses of the single greatest event in the history of the world.

We must all do the same.

We must encounter the empty tomb, experience the reality of what it means and, in turn, share that witness with others.

No, we were not with Mary on that blessed Easter morning. We did not see what she and the other women saw. But we can ask ourselves: what have we seen, felt, or experienced?

Shall we not, therefore, become witnesses of Jesus Christ? Shall we not share our love for Him with others?

My dear friends, on this holy Easter morning, I offer my witness:

He is risen.

He died for us so that we could be redeemed. What a Good Friday indeed. There is no greater love than Christ's willing sacrifice for us! As we use Good Friday to remember Jesus Christ, how will you follow His example of love?
