#DUNE Saw a very impressive film last night. 40th anniversary screening.

@JasminRappleye A badge of honor we all ought to strive for.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially filed a lawsuit against the exmormon podcast Mormon Stories hosted by John Dehlin. This is the "unreasonable" demand that led to John Dehlin to walk away from mediation, and led the Church to finally pull the trigger

@Jazzbasketball1 Oh snap, it's a Doc Rivers led basketball team.

Who’s the loudest band you’ve ever seen live?

My favorite part about the Vedder cup is that Eddie Vedder isn’t a fan of either team

@the_jake_bastow @BednarDavidA "We do not have to defend the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ will defend him for us. Those who reject Joseph Smith as a prophet and revelator are left to find some other explanation for the Book of Mormon." -President Packer April 05

After deeply pondering this quote from @BednarDavidA the past week, I’ve decided to change my approach to how I show up on this platform. From today forward, I’m done defending the doctrine. Completely. “We don’t need to defend the doctrine. We need to declare it.” So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I will boldly declare my personal testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and the pure, powerful doctrine taught by His Church, @Ch_JesusChrist. These truths stand on their own. They have changed my life, and I know they can change yours. No more playing defense. No more letting false voices - “Mormons aren’t Christians,” “Jesus and Satan aren’t brothers,” or any other arrogant attacks - pull me off course. I will declare the truth with clarity and conviction and invite every honest seeker of truth to “come and see” for yourself what the Savior’s restored gospel offers: real purpose, lasting peace, deep joy, and hope for you and your family. The doctrine doesn’t need defending. It stands for itself. I’m all in. No more games. Come and see. #SaintsOnX #FloodXwithTruth #TruthWillPrevail

@FurkanGozukara This guy is going to flip his lid if he ever finds out that temple recommend holding members of the church have already committed to giving literally everything they possess to the church if asked.

Absolute insanity. An expert filmmaker exposes how the Mormon Church is hoarding a staggering 350 billion dollars and buying up massive amounts of American land while still demanding money from its followers. The religious corporate greed is terrifying.

HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS DUDE???

@DisastroMan You've clearly slept on 2023's ATUM

The Smashing Pumpkins have pretty much always been a huge fucking joke. Not a single person has heard their last, like, SIX albums, and they’ve been dropping flops for a quarter century. Maybe you love them, but to say their legacy outclasses that of Nirvana is insane.

@JT_AGGIE 1- Sam Merrill 2- Mason Faslev After that who cares. No one else has ever led the Aggies to a MW Championship, or NCAA tournament wins.

Top 5 AGGIE bball players (no particular order) 1. Wayne Estes 2. Jaycee Carroll 3. Sam Merrill 4. Mason Falslev 5. ???? Is #5 Queta? Has to be, right?

@sound_hockey This is why you're not getting that second wild card spot this season.

Something called “Lil Boo” has arrived. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@AzPetrich You need more emojis in your name before I'll start taking you seriously

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.

@ApologiaStudios @Lets_Talk_HC We're actually in a very happy state right now, considering it's Easter and General Conference weekend. You should tune in.

Apologia Radio is Live!!! The Sad State of Mormon Apologetics This week we are engaging with online Mormon apologist Hayden Carroll. @Lets_Talk_HC has a history of misrepresenting his opponents and selling that misrepresentation to other #Mormons. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

What an absolute joy of an experience.

@alexgroberman WTF is this tweet? Who talks like this?

It's rare for people on social media to agree on anything these days. That said, literally everyone seems to be in agreement about what happened in this video. Both the Duke and UConn fans in my replies are in alignment: Braylon Mullins was 0-for-4 from three. His team was down 19 against the number one overall seed. And he just hit a 35-footer with 0.4 seconds left to send UConn to the Final Four. The shot everyone will remember only existed because UConn kept building when the scoreboard said it was over. UConn trailed Duke 44-25 late in the first half. Not a close game. Not a tight battle. A 19-point hole against a team that came in 35-2 as the number one overall seed in the tournament. The kind of deficit most teams see and start thinking about next year. UConn did not stop building. Possession by possession, they chipped away. They cut it to 15 at halftime. Then kept cutting. They never held the lead at any point in the second half until the final 0.4 seconds. Every possession was building from behind. Every stop was another layer added to a comeback that did not show up on the scoreboard yet. Then in the final seconds, Silas Demary Jr. came up with a steal at midcourt, the ball found Mullins, and the freshman who had missed every three he took all game unleashed a 35-foot shot that swished through the net and ended Duke's season. And it sent Alex Karaban to his third Final Four. Karaban is the part of this story that makes the building argument real. He is a senior who has played all four years at UConn. 147 games. Two national championships. The most NCAA Tournament wins as a starter by any player since 2000, surpassing Tyler Hansbrough. He was inducted into the UConn Huskies of Honor while still on the active roster. No men's player in program history has received that distinction while still playing. In the era of the transfer portal, when players leave the moment things get difficult, Karaban stayed and kept building at one program. Dan Hurley did the same. He turned down the Lakers. He turned down Kentucky. He stayed at UConn and kept adding layers to what he was building. Now he has back-to-back national championships, three Final Fours in four years, and a program that comes back from 19 down in the Elite Eight because the depth of what they have built does not collapse under pressure. That is what happens when you build something instead of chasing the next opportunity. The depth holds. This is exactly what is happening across most marketing budgets right now. Most businesses look at their search visibility, see competitors dominating the first page, and decide they are down 19. So they pull the budget. They stop building content. They stop investing in backlinks and authority. They move the money to paid ads because at least those show up on the scoreboard immediately. And they never give themselves the chance to take the shot. Paid ads show up instantly. But they do not build anything. You pay, you show up. You stop paying, you disappear. Social campaigns deliver a burst, then the reach expires. Email blasts hit once and are forgotten. PR gets one cycle. Influencer deals get one moment. Every one of those channels resets to zero the moment the budget stops. None of them are building anything possession by possession. None of them are chipping away at a deficit that compounds into something permanent. (If you want to see where your site stands across Google and AI search, start here: seo-stuff.com/free-audit) SEO and AI search visibility is the only marketing channel that builds while you are behind and keeps compounding once you get there. You publish one authoritative piece of content. It does not rank on page one immediately. It looks like a miss. Then you publish another. Another backlink lands. Another AI system indexes your content. You are still behind, still building, still adding layers that the scoreboard does not show yet. Then ChatGPT cites your content to a buyer who never opened a browser. Google AI Overview pulls your page as the reference. Perplexity surfaces you in an answer. AI Mode selects your business as the recommendation. And every piece of content you published, every backlink you earned, every layer of authority you built while you were down 19 is what put you in position to take that shot. No ad budget influences that. No social following affects it. No campaign calendar determines the outcome. The channel itself selects for the best answer. The businesses that kept building when the scoreboard said they were losing are the ones getting cited now. The businesses that pulled the budget at halftime are still spending to show up. That is the gap SEO Stuff was built to close. seo-stuff.com Braylon Mullins missed four straight threes. UConn was down 19 against the best team in the country. Alex Karaban spent four years building at one program instead of chasing the transfer portal. And now they are in the Final Four because they never stopped building when the scoreboard said to quit. The question is whether your marketing budget is still building from behind or whether you already walked off the court at halftime.
