Submerged state. Submerged markets. Hidden labor.

β€œβ€¦just 2% of all college studentsβ€”including 3% of Republicansβ€”say they feel they don’t belong on campus due to their political views…71% said their professors create a classroom environment that supports both students who express unpopular opinions and those who may be upset by such views.”

It’s astounding how many folks were networked into her circles … for rarely leaving her apartments… it’s a a testament to the various ways of making a difference.

Ardis was one of my fave friends I made through bloggernacle/Mormon twitter and then later IRL. Leaving twitter and starting working a few years ago meant a lot of these connections fell off. Just found out she passed away. I’ve been crying on and off. Life is a thief.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

People asking β€œwhy can’t we have that?” over stories about Andrew getting arrested and the former South Korean president getting life for a coup attempt and then attacking anyone who dares criticize a party that can’t even say β€œabolish ICE” or promise to impeach our fascist, pedophile dictator.

I'm not reading the article; the headline says the exact opposite of what history shows to be the case, that allowing extreme disparities in wealth and income always leads to the failure of the state.

Tax the rich, or they'll end up literally owning everyone else.

Half of Latter-day Saints are sympathetic to Christian Nationalism. Most Christian Nationalists would not include Latter-day Saints as Christians.

Probability graph of LDS q15 members becoming prophets

New Q15 probabilities just dropped for the LDS presidency.

I was talking to a friend this weekend and he noted the theme of Oaks’ picks as prophet: we do not apologize.

(Causse being PB over ensign Peak and Gilbert over CES retrenchment. Is Brad β€œwhat about the whites” Wilcox next??) #mormon

I have too many inside stories from his time in Rexburg to have hope, unfortunately

I thought oaks becoming prophet would break me. It didn’t, but this might.

For anyone wondering: I don’t think a β€œtrue” church exists, but many churches w diverse gifts and weaknesses and god loves them all. I participate in this one, as I’m in Rexburg. Everything remains to be seen.
