@TheFP we need some facts about what's going on with ICE raids. There is so much talk and I don't know who to believe. I would hope we are only going after criminals and I have no idea where all the deportees are going. Please help!

What is the meaning of the phrase “peace on earth, good will toward men” (see Luke 2:14), shared often during the Christmas season?

The heavenly hosts proclaimed good will to all men—to casual friends and to strangers.

The Savior taught, “Love thy neighbor as thyself” (see Matthew 22:39). He even taught that we should love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them who despitefully use us and persecute us.

As we work toward the goal expressed in those teachings, Christmas should be a time for forgiving, a time to heal old wounds and restore relationships that have gone awry. Christmas is a time to extend ourselves beyond our normal ties of love and friendship.

Testimony, forgiveness and Christlike love “will bring true and lasting joy,” Elder S. Mark Palmer taught during the First Presidency’s Christmas Devotional. #ChristmasDevo https://t.co/rpuNKnKoX2

One of the most powerful passages in The Book of Mormon. So simple, so true.

Any Democrat wondering how they lost, should just subscribe to @TheFP.

Not just for today's coverage, but for everything since it was founded in the wake of the craziness of 2020.

I debut in @firstthingsmag today writing on Brendan Eich, who ten years ago was attacked and chased out of Mozilla, a company he co-founded, for taking private civic action based upon his quiet Christian faith. It was a pivotal moment in our society and for me personally:

"I was working in New York's “Silicon Alley” when it happened, and I immediately recognized it as a major escalation in the culture war. It was a warning that the Leviathan of technocracy did not care how well I did, how hard I worked, or how well I treated others. Ideological conformity to the top-down, programmatic transformation of the country that was rapidly taking place was all that mattered. If I was unwilling to affirm the current thing dictated according to the whims of “progress,” I was an enemy of humanity and an enemy of America. And my beliefs, no matter how ancient, innocent, and valid, must bow to the will of Leviathan, or the digital swarm would descend upon me. In fact, the higher I rose, the harder opponents would hunt for an excuse to throw me, like Belteshazzar, to the lions."

"Here is my promise.  Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than worshipping in the temple as regularly as your circumstances permit.  Nothing will protect you more as you encounter the world’s mists of darkness. Nothing will bolster your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement or help you understand God’s magnificent plan more.  Nothing will soothe your spirit more during times of pain.  Nothing will open the heavens more.  Nothing!"

@kentcdodds Did that exact thing yesterday!

“The Israel-Hamas war has been the breakout moment for Free Press, which is appealing to readers hungry for an alternative to what they view as an unfair characterization of Israel in mainstream media.”

@coderberry @Vladi Just ordered me a copy. I can't wait to dig into it.

@cboyack Eliminated on the federal level and administered on the community level. People need welfare, but it needs to be personal and relevant to the individual.

What does this headline say about humanity today?

@lzsthw Last time I used ffmpeg I just told ChatGPT what I wanted it to do and it gave me all the proper flags. It was the first time ChatGPT made my chin hit the floor 😯

This has to be one of the most important articles I've read in a long time. While the news is mostly filled with unimportant drivel, real people with real problems go largely ignored. But this will be impossible to ignore in our very near future.

It's a sad reality that as soon as your kids start driving you see them less and less. It's so rewarding to see them excel and do things on their own, but I sure miss spending time with them.
