@andyblarsen @AndrewDBailey Larsen you should do a deep dive story on the 1976 NBA finals and the controversy surrounding the officiating.

@BOBBYboucher67 @mjolley22 @mjolley22 is a very good person.

We are saddened by the loss of Karen Haight Huntsman. She lived a life defined by compassion, generosity & an unwavering belief in the power of healing & hope. Alongside Jon & her family, she helped build one of the great philanthropic legacies. 📰 attheu.utah.edu/health-medicin…

Ace Hardware popcorn burn goal remains elusive

home depot has fallen off... bunch of disinterested people walking around with scanners and no expertise that place used to rule. you'd have a project and a 67 year old ex-foreman named Big Jim would walk you through your entire project. no more... my local Ace Hardware is where it's at now. that's where Big Jim and Joe and Old Ed, the guy who owned a plumbing business for 30 years, work now... happy to help and talk your ear off about washers and lug nuts for twenty minutes... you know, the good stuff.

The Suns announced a four-year extension through 2030 with Arizona’s Family to broadcast all games entirely free for their local audience. “It’s maybe not the most financially successful decision, but it’s the right decision,” Suns owner Mat Ishbia said.

Who ever is available at #2 in the NBA draft. I trust Will Hardy and his staff to develop and integrate into championship contender.

Most Christians already believe in a Mormon heaven. Stand at any funeral and listen, “I’ll see her again,” “he’s waiting for me”, they mean it the way Joseph meant it. Her actual face. Him, recognizably him. But that’s not what their churches teach. The creeds promise union, vision, dissolution into glory. Joseph Smith is the only one who promised you the person. And the only one who built an explicit path to keep them.

"You forget that Joseph said the same sociality that exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, and you forget the audacity of this claim. Every other religion in the history of the world has imagined heaven as something other

In a world obsessed with novelty, one of the benefits of canonized scripture is that it forces people to reread something over and over, to explore its depths.

Lake Bled, Slovenia looks like Switzerland.....until you realize it’s quieter, cheaper, and somehow even better.

The fact that Counting Crows came out with August and Everything After in 1993, during the height of the grunge era, makes it all the more impressive. Totally unique vibe and sound for that time, and still resonated with the youth. Plus there's not a bad song on the whole album.

When I’m eating shared nachos I’m always thinking 3 nacho moves ahead of my opponent.

Never so happy for 2nd place

It is interesting, from 2024-2025 100 communities in the state had population declines.

A back story after the passing of former Jazz player Jose Ortiz: Utah took him with the 15th pick in the 1987 draft. The Jazz had targeted mini-point guard Muggsy Bogues — envisioning him as John Stockton’s backup — but Washington surprisingly took Bogues at No. 12.

The tsunami that hit Indonesia's Aceh Province in December 2004 killed more than 200,000 people and left many more homeless and hungry. Two days later, 'hardline conservative' Pres. Boyd K. Packer rang Alwi Shihab on his mobile phone, providing a model for all Saints to follow.🧵

Yikes!!

"If I told you there was one free thing you could do every Sunday that would make your kids happier, healthier, smarter, and closer to you, you'd think I was selling something." Take your kids to church regularly. I don't care if you believe. The data is so lopsided that skipping it is the parenting equivalent of refusing vegetables because you don't like the taste. Grades. Religious teens get As at almost twice the rate of nonreligious teens. In a class of 100, that's 24 A-students instead of 14. Church gives a kid the same academic boost as being born rich instead of poor. College. Working-class religious kids earn bachelor's degrees at double the rate of their nonreligious peers. Middle-class kids do it at 1.5x the rate. For families without a trust fund, this is one of the most powerful forms of upward mobility social scientists have measured. Character. Religious teens are far less likely to lie, cheat, or do things they hope their parents never find out about. They're more likely to care about racial equality, the elderly, and the poor. They reject the idea that morality is whatever works for you in the moment. That kind of kid doesn't happen by accident. It's built. Closeness. 60% of parents of religious teens say they feel "extremely close" to their kid, compared to 50% of nonreligious parents. The kids report the same thing back. They get along better with their parents, talk about hard stuff, and actually want to spend time with their family. Despair. Religious teens are dramatically less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, or feel that life is meaningless. 90% of devoted religious teens never binge drink, compared to 41% of the disengaged. Economists named the modern epidemic "deaths of despair." Regular church attendance is one of the strongest known buffers against it. Parents are spending fortunes trying to solve teen mental health. The most evidence-backed intervention is free. Purpose. Religious young adults report higher purpose, gratitude, life satisfaction, and resilience. These are the exact traits every parent says they want their kid to have. Here's why it works. Affluent families already surround their kids with networks of stable, accomplished adults through neighborhoods, schools, and parents' colleagues. Working and middle-class families usually don't. A congregation is often the last institution in American life that puts your kid in weekly contact with dozens of stable, employed, sober adults who know their name. It used to be called "a village." Now it barely exists outside of churches. "But I don't believe." Your kid doesn't need your theology. They need you to show up. "But church is boring." So is sitting through a kindergarten music recital. Parenting is the deliberate choice to be bored on purpose for someone you love. There's a church within 15 minutes of nearly every American home. You don't need money, connections, or credentials to walk in. Nothing else in this country will surround your kid with engaged adults, teach them moral seriousness, and give them a stable weekly rhythm at zero cost. You already drive them to practices that produce far less. The free thing on Sunday produces more, on more dimensions, than almost anything else you do as a parent. You don't have to believe anything. You just have to take them.
