My article from November 2023 highlights how additional historical context altered some US college students' perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: https://t.co/92cavBInmU
I love Americans. We were about to walk an hour to the stadium in the rain to save on an Uber, and the receptionist at the hotel we were parked in front of decided to drive us there.🙏
@GerritWGong The video is out now, and it is excellent. Well thought-out principles about how to approach the changes to life and work that AI is bringing.
Is artificial intelligence helping you grow, or quietly replacing your growth?
I invite you to join me at https://t.co/B5xFoUsTw6 on June 7 as we discuss how to hear God's voice in an age of artificial intelligence.
If the McAllister's had been LDS the Relief Society President, Primary President and the Bishop would have been over to that house in 5 minutes to check on Kevin
Lincoln and Washington (I know less about Churchill but I imagine him too) famously dignified their opponents in life and death.
It wasn’t that they were nice - they were honorable.
Wow. In the face of bomb threats, swatting, and intimidation from their own party, GOP lawmakers in Indiana just voted against a redistricting plan backed by Trump.

my thoughts go out to the hicken family.
BYU nation, the big 12 stands with you and our league values the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints’ contributions to making each university a better place.
@big12conference, it is your move to act now.
BYU played Cincinnati in football last weekend. A "F*** the Mormons" chant echoed in the stadium. Two Latter-day Saint victims of the Grand Blanc, Michigan shooting were there. It was very hurtful.
Meanwhile, the church donated 27,000 lbs of food to U Cincinnati food pantry.
Last night, I joined colleagues from Utah and Michigan in a moment of silence to honor the victims of the tragic September attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc.
There is more and more evidence that putting computers and tablets on students' desks (1:1 devices) was a terrible mistake. I agree with @AdamMGrant that "it's time to remove laptops [and tablets] from classrooms."
As the United States prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is collaborating with America250 in recognition of the freedoms established through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Today, the Church offered a prelude of its participation in the celebration by sending the first of 250 semi-trucks, specifically designated to the @America250 celebration, delivering food donations to 250 food banks across all 50 states.

This is a thoughtful, extensive review essay of my new book from @bstewart1776 in @quillette. He takes me to task for being too critical of America's sins and conceding too much to progressives. But I'm a progressive myself and I'd like to persuade them 🧵

Some fascinating documents here from @RalstonReports, who has a biography of Harry Reid coming out in January. It includes new details on a bit of (practically ancient) political history.
During the 2012 election, Harry Reid famously asserted that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for 10 years. The claim was eventually debunked, but it became a major news story at the time. Reid seemed to know he was lying, and was unrepentant. Jon Ralston—a legendary chronicler of Nevada politics—wrote a column for the Las Vegas Sun criticizing Reid for the lie, but the paper's editor in chief, a friend of Reid's, refused to publish it. Ralston resigned, and the rest is history.
Anyway, Ralston has some emails here in which Reid advisers gleefully discuss the Romney smear, report that Obama's campaign manager is "on the table dancing," and celebrate Ralston getting censored. Not a great look for anyone involved!
