@LonghornJoker The fringe beliefs- that I and all LDS supposedly believe- have only ever appeared in anti-LDS social media. I am 49. If it isn't taught in conference, at church or in any official church publications, what on earth are we even talking about?? Love being told what I believe...😳

You won’t get much detail about Latter-day Saint unique doctrines at General Conference because they are not discussed there. Conference talks are bland on doctrine.
Alma The Defender@antiantimormon

What do "Mormons" really believe? What is the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? If you had no preconceived notions and only listened to #GeneralConference, ChatGPT concludes: Jesus Christ is the center of everything. He is not a supporting figure. He is the focus: “Come unto Him.” “Follow Him.” “Abide in Him.” “He is the way.” His atonement and resurrection are the core: He heals, redeems, forgives, strengthens, and overcomes death itself. Salvation is not passive belief. It is a covenant relationship: Baptism, sacrament, temple, obedience, repentance, enduring to the end, all bind us to Him. The goal is transformation: Be born again. Change your heart. Become like Christ. Develop charity. Become a new creature. The end is not just being saved, but returning home: To God. To eternal life. To eternal families. And the evidence of it all is how we live: Love others. Serve. Minister. Forgive. Help others come home. Everything points to Him. Jesus Christ is not one doctrine among many. He is the doctrine.

@Kaden_Johnson2 They use the "don't hurt your elders/swiss cheese" defense on LBJ. On fast breaks, defenses use the bullfighter/get-out-of-the-way defense. So it's more "don't want to" than "can't."😂

@YostinNBA I can show a pic of John Starks dunking on Jordan and say, "MJ wasn't even better than this guy!" So, be real. And also- make sure to show the clip of "the greatest athletes in history" sitting out defense and camping down court for free layups!😂

@Hoopss They are, as a pair, better free throw shooters, and foul-baiters. And that, my friends, is the modern NBA. Shai/Chet would each be 1 for 6 from the field, but win by flopping, kicking legs out on jumpers, and shooting 78 of 93 from the line. And wow! So exciting to watch!😂

Chet Holmgren reportedly believes that he and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could cook Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in a two-on-two matchup, even in a seven-game series against their championship versions. Holmgren expressed confidence in their modern playstyle, saying their spacing, versatility, and skill set would allow them to compete against one of the most dominant duos in NBA history.

@NILnotNLI @SethOnHoops That would make such a difference. If only the didn't get $40,000 in "free" tuition for bringing millions to a school! Yea, let's offload all the payments to private NIL entities- I can't see that becoming a problem! 😳

NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI
NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI@NILnotNLI·
According to ​Jay Bilas NCAA athletes are professionals and "adults," not developing young adults (as @SethOnHoops correctly pointed out yesterday). ​Well, adults pay for their own lives. They pay for things like housing, food, and school tuition. ​How about Jay endorses the growing sentiment of eliminating "free ride" athletic scholarships for any "adult" who receives NIL or rev-share that exceeds the university's cost of attendance? If you get paid a million dollars, you should have to pay for school. Simple. ​That would be the "adult" thing to do.

@garytaubes @American_Heart I know you are aware that flipping a pyramid that hasn't been used for 16 years means nothing. And that the actuall words of RFK's "new" recommendations put a max of 10% of calories from saturated fat. So if red meat is a health food, RFK is saying "eat very little of it."🤷‍♂️

RFK Jr and the MAHA folks may have inverted the food guide pyramid, turning red meat and full-fat dairy back into health foods, but the @American_Heart is doubling down on the low-fat, plant-based advice it's been disseminating for decades. Should we expect anything different from the organization that created the low-fat consensus 60+ years ago? My latest Substack discusses the "one of us stinks" problem caused by challenging consensus science. It also answers the question raised last week by @MaryanneDemasi, why won't the lipid hypothesis die?

What an absolute nothing burger of a general conference. All it managed to do was further convince me that the only values the bureaucracy and leaders of the church hold today are pluralism, feminism and egalitarianism. Does this church even give its members guidance and instruction, or call for repentance anymore? What other values can we even argue that the church holds? All the church seems to do with its time and resources today is do things that align with the previously mentioned values. A few examples of this outward alignment are; subsidizing Hindu temples and Muslim mosques construction in Utah, working with LGBT advocacy groups, and worst of all, coming out in this conference and declaring that even though marriage is purportedly an “eternal” and “indelible” covenant, it actually can be arbitrarily abrogated and dissolved if a woman spontaneously decides she’s done with it. But don’t worry, I’m sure the “trust the plan”, sycophantic Mormons will be out in force over the next week to tell you that this vacuous conference was actually the most sagacious in history!

Dr. Rhonda Patrick hasn't been getting sick since adding glutamine to her daily routine. She shared the science behind it on the Huberman Lab podcast. Patrick discovered during her graduate research that glutamine is so essential for cellular energy that cancer cells can survive on it alone when glucose is removed. That same property makes it critical for your immune system. Without adequate glutamine, your T-cells cannot properly activate when a pathogen enters your body. Your first line of defense is compromised. Patrick's protocol is simple: • 5 grams daily as a baseline. • 15-20 grams when sick, traveling, or exposed to illness. • Always split into 5 gram doses to avoid gut irritation. After becoming a mom, Patrick was catching everything her son brought home from school. Three infections a year. She started glutamine and the infections stopped. Even when the virus was in her house. Studies on endurance athletes backed her experience. High-dose glutamine significantly reduced respiratory tract infections in athletes who were most susceptible. One caution: anyone with an existing colon or liver tumor should avoid it. — Dr. Rhonda Patrick (@foundmyfitness) on Andrew Huberman's (@hubermanlab) podcast PS: If you found this insightful, follow me as I continue sharing unconventional health content just like this.

@maximumpain333 @TxGirl1122Vibes Ooo the cognitive dissonance in the comment section is real!! The general public has been conditioned big time to believe in 8 hours of sleep... but, im with you here. Can you provide any links on any of the information? I am going to research on my side also.

The most dangerous lie in human history isn’t about food. It isn’t about medicine. It is about sleep. For 200,000 years, humans did not sleep 8 hours. That number was invented in 1938 by a mattress company called Simmons Beautyrest. Before that campaign, the average human slept in two shifts. Historians call it “Biphasic Sleep.” You would sleep for 4 hours, wake up for 2, then sleep for another 4. During that 2-hour window, people would pray, have s*x, write, think, and connect with their families. Some of the greatest works in human history were created in that sacred middle window. Shakespeare wrote most of his plays between 1AM and 3AM during his second wake period. Mozart composed entire symphonies in what he called “The God Hours.” Then the Industrial Revolution needed workers on a fixed schedule. You cannot run a factory on biphasic sleep. So they hired a psychologist named Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman to “prove” that 8 consecutive hours was the biological standard. He faked the studies. He was funded entirely by the mattress industry. And the medical establishment adopted his research without question because it aligned with the factory model. They turned the most creative 2 hours of human consciousness into a “sleep disorder.” They called it “Insomnia.” They medicated it. They gaslight an entire generation that 8 hours of continuous sleep was healthy. They pathologized the exact window of consciousness that produced some of the greatest art, music, and literature in human history. You are not an insomniac. You are experiencing the most natural form of human consciousness. And a mattress company convinced you it was a disease. Stop medicating your genius. Wake up at 2AM. Write the thing. The “God Hours” are calling. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Andre Gonzalves

Trump is playing 3d chess. The plan is simple. OIL → $200. This will knock Crypto and Stocks down 40%. Send gas prices to $10. Cut Real Estate in half. And while everyone is panicking, we get generational entries. Then he ends the war, we begin the greatest bull market in history, and he takes credit for all of it. Trust the process.

Bryan Johnson spent $2M a year, mass-testing every biomarker in his body, measuring nighttime erections, injecting his son's blood plasma, and getting gene therapy in Honduras. 30+ doctors. Hundreds of tests per year. Over 100 daily supplements. The thing leaching PFAS and heavy metals into his environment was 15 feet from his kitchen window the entire time. Artificial turf with crumb rubber infill contains 306 identified chemicals. A Yale study found 52 of them are classified as carcinogens by the EPA. The crumb rubber is made from recycled tires, which release polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, lead, zinc, and benzene. When it rains, those compounds leach into the surrounding soil and groundwater. On hot days, surface temperatures hit 170°F, accelerating the off-gassing into breathable air. PFAS, the compounds he specifically named, are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down. They accumulate in your blood indefinitely. Mount Sinai's Children's Environmental Health Center has urged a national moratorium on new artificial turf installations. The EU has already moved to ban crumb rubber under their microplastics regulations. A 2025 Northeastern study found that as turf degrades in sunlight and heat, the chemicals multiply into 572+ distinct compounds. Johnson's protocol tracked his biological age across 70+ organs, measured his rate of aging down to a DunedinPACE score of 0.69, and optimized every minute of his sleep cycle to the nearest degree Fahrenheit. His home was converted into a $6.8M Blueprint clinic. And the backyard was quietly doing the opposite of everything happening inside. The fact that he caught it, said it publicly, and is ripping it out is the part worth paying attention to. Most people with artificial turf have no idea what's in it and aren't running the bloodwork to find out.

Guys, I’m an idiot. All this time I’ve spent trying not to die, I had toxic turf in my backyard. Artificial turf contains crumb rubber infill made from recycled tires, which leaches chemicals including PFAS, heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds are linked to hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, and systemic inflammation. I don’t know how I missed it. It makes me question my basic competence in life. What gets me is that I try so hard to survey the world of potential idiocy. Then I find out there’s a monument to idiocy sitting right in front of my face that I was blind to. I’m removing the turf, yet I’m still stuck with this seemingly unsolvable problem of how to not be an idiot.

The #LDS Church claims to have an additional 507,000 members from 2022-24 but only has 346 additional ward congregations, meaning that these new wards/branches would have 1,600 members each. Clearly, the @Ch_JesusChrist is not retaining members.
