These Buddhist monks (and their dog!) on a 2,300-mile walk for peace have been a bright light in a dark season. Tonight, thousands of people around the globe (including me!) paused with them to meditate in loving kindness. May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

Man. 2026 is not for the faint of heart, huh?
a man and a woman are standing next to each other and the caption says " someone has to hold it together "
Alt: From Schitt’s Creek: Moira and Johnny, in their wedding finery, arms linked as they walk down the aisle, exchange looks as Moira says, “Someone has to hold it together.”

Can confirm incredible experience.
If you're a PhD student, postdoc, or independent scholar working in Mormon studies, please consider applying to the Eugene England Summer Institute, which I co-lead with @taylorpetrey.bsky.social and Jana Riess. Our first year was an incredible experience & we expect the second year to be as well.

Begrudgingly, I observe that broadcast parade coverage has come a long way. Now the only thing more boring than a televised parade is televised golf.

Re-upping this factoid today because the US President is an empty shell of a person with a desperate thirst for gold-plated power where his soul should be.
Hey, remember when Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was ambushed, tortured, murdered, dismembered, and his body parts incinerated in an attempt to disguise the assassination? All because he wrote pieces critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aka Trump’s golf cart buddy?
