@DouthatNYT like God are very commonly taught doctrines at all levels of the church from children's sunday school to seminary to the stuff missionaries teach. Even the stuff in the book of Abraham where it refers to the "Gods" doing the creation is taught frequently, though less so. 2/2

@DouthatNYT I'm a very active Latter-day Saint. I would say our "non-Christian" beliefs are pretty front and center, just not talked about in the way that creedal Christians talk about it. That God and Christ are two separate beings, both gods, and that we have the potential to become 1/

@MarkHolmlund @DouthatNYT And most know it has something to do with our view of the trinity (or Godhead as we refer to it). But we don't tend to dwell on it because we believe Christ is the Savior of mankind so to us it's self-evident that we're Christian.

[DJ @hecksyes]

@MarkHolmlund @DouthatNYT Yes and no. It's not a big part of our curriculum to teach the differences in doctrines of our church vs. other churches, but it does come up and is taught at a high level. I think most Latter-day Saints understand that many Christians don't think of us as Christian 1/

[DJ @hecksyes]

@MarkHolmlund @DouthatNYT As a Latter-day Saint, I'm fascinated by this take. 1. Because most Latter-day Saints spend 18-24 months preaching full time and studying our theology 2. Most Latter-day Saint high schoolers are in a scripture class every day before school studying our theology. 3. "'pews'"

@SpannersReady Worst race of the year. Best qualifying of the year.

@FiredUpCoug This is the best idea you've had.

Incredible political insticts.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

@GovCox If only there was a system wherein we could allocate resources efficiently... we could call it a "market" and put a "price" on it based on usage. Then when water is especially scarce, the "price" could go up to discourage overuse.

Just shooting from the hip.

@jbarro Not only do I see nothing wrong with this, this is literally what they did in Home Alone so clearly many Americans thought/think this was/is okay.

Granted, home alone may not be the best example, but still.

@DavidAFrench Someone is hoping for some sweet, sweet NASA contracts.

@GovCox Housing is fundamentally a supply issue. What are the supply constraints? Destroy them. Down with local zoning, down with overregulation, down with demand-side subsidies.

@DKThomp Doesn't strike me as the students' fault, but their educators. Students are not being taught to use AI and they should.

NYU professor @JonHaidt, who has stood at the forefront of the movement to challenge academia’s culture of suppressing the free exchange of ideas, is facing a campaign to cancel his graduation address. https://t.co/4egRWmkpP7

This belief cannot be justified without resorting to conspiracy-theorizing.

If we look at the biographies of the Forbes 400, most are self-made and none made their billions via insider trading or fraud.

@ElectClayDavis @mattyglesias @grok Yeah, I don't disagree, but that leaves 63% of the country who should be gettable. And they'll be easier than that other 37%.

[DJ @hecksyes]

@ElectClayDavis @mattyglesias @grok I think the question we need to ask ourselves then, is why aren't Dems winning every election handedly? If it's so obvious that Rs policies are stupid, then shouldn't Ds just win? Echochambers alone can't account for all of it. Ds have just completely dropped the ball in this era

[The Honest Broker @RogerPielkeJr]

The retirement of high end scenarios is not because climate policy has been successful, as some are trying to claim

But because they were erroneous from the start

Fortunately, there is a significant track record going back a decade showing this in the peer reviewed literature

@dieworkwear Can you write a book? I've had AI go through and summarize most things you've written to try to understand the art of menswear, but would prefer it from the horses mouth.
