Nice story about LDS temples and the upcoming reopening of the Church's "flagship" Salt Lake temple, after a six-year renovation and seismic refitting. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

Why this non-Latter-day Saint historian is excited to visit the Salt Lake Temple — even if there is no dancing
Temples are a defining feature of Latter-day Saint Christianity, and they have been from the beginning.

Holy shit. "Reality contradicts the narrative we spin to feel better about ourselves; the government has to lie for us!" is, apparently, the Republican party motto. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

I was really nervous about S4 of Ted Lasso. The original series was so good. I was scared they would ruin that accomplishment. My best expectations were absolutely exceeded. Same great core cast, but with new characters, new storylines, new discoveries. Under it all, the same caring heart. A+!

As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.

On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder, people are still trying to lionize him. His death was a tragedy, and he didn't deserve that. But, neither does he deserve to be celebrated. He was not a public servant, in any sense of the word.

I love seeing all these Rs saying Dolly Parton was never political. It just shows how dimwitted some people are to not be able to hear a message because it doesn't contain magic words or dog whistles. But, this quote by Dolly Parton --- during Trump 1.0 --- is absolutely political.
