So this is terrifying. Your brain is a sell out for propaganda, even if you are perfectly logical and rational on a conscious level.

This phenomenon drives political partisanship. All people are susceptible unless they make an effort to challenge their own beliefs.

Trump is doing a lot of awful things these days. I haven't posted about it much. I'm just not sure that America is going to learn the importance of holding our leaders to basic moral standards any other way than the hard way, and...

To be clear.

Even if you hate us,

We still love you.

A tragic act of violence occurred today at a chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan. During Sunday worship services a gunman opened fire, and early reports indicate that multiple individuals were injured. We ask for cooperation with local authorities as details become available.

The Church is in communication with local law enforcement as the investigation continues and as we receive updates on the condition of those affected. We offer thanks to the emergency responders who are assisting victims and families.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of prayers and concern from so many people around the world. In moments of sorrow and uncertainty, we find strength and comfort through our faith in Jesus Christ. Places of worship are meant to be sanctuaries of peacemaking, prayer and connection. We pray for peace and healing for all involved.

@VeteranGamerUK Probably autists account for some of this. Good enough for a PhD in something they are obsessive about, but bad at most other things.

@LingTolls This will be amazing.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Governor Spencer Cox:

“Words are not violence. Violence is violence.”

“At some point we need to find an off-ramp or things are going to get much, much worse.”

“These are choices that we can make.”

@ATrueMillennial My father, who is a titanic sample of a human, put a hand on his shoulder and forced him back down into the pew.

And that’s how we got written out of grandpa’s will.

[Doc @ConceptualDoc]

@ATrueMillennial Legend has it that when I was confirmed, my fundamentalist great grandfather got up to the pulpit and preached plural marriage.

Several people got up and bore testimony of the true doctrine in response.

My great grandfather went to stand up to give a retort.

@HistoryBoomer Giannis is genuinely a kindhearted and wholesome soul. Seen him at church a few times. (He has no idea who I am but we have at least one common friend.)

@ATrueMillennial Counter offer: let me know if you’re in Milwaukee and we’ll sit down together.

@MrDanielBuck False dichotomy.

What is taught, rigorous or not, is what’s real. Grades are simply how it’s reported.

You can teach a class at a high level and cruelly fail all the students, or teach at a low level and give them all A’s.

You can also teach at a high level and give A’s.

[Doc @ConceptualDoc]

@ATrueMillennial @DanielM65604046 Too many in the church want spiritual messages to come with footnotes, disclaimers, clarifying commentary, and a pat on the back.

But for me, Mother’s Day is a little different. I appreciate a grateful acknowledgement to the women of the church at large.

Reposting for visibility.

Proud to be a part of my church and who we are as a people.

Latter-day Saints have been misunderstood since the beginning.

For example, a recent Pew Research Center study found that only 10% of Americans who do not know a Latter-day Saint have a favorable opinion of the group.

When reporters cover Harry Potter, imagine them only interviewing Draco Malfoy.

That’s often how the media portrays The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Faithful members are rarely interviewed.

One exception is Peter Santenello.

Here’s what he did differently:

@VeteranGamerUK @real_IanPatrick @ABertheim Not hacked. (I was also hesitant and now I’m on there more than X by far.)

Sometimes it’s nice to talk without reply guys and planet earth as an audience.

Mark is one of those people worth talking to wherever you can find him. Recommend.
