El jazz no es aburrido, aburrida es la música de ahora. En 1959 #DaveBrubeck rompió todas las reglas con #TakeFive, metiendo un ritmo imposible que se convirtió en el tema de jazz más vendido de la historia. Elegancia y clase pura en 5 minutos. 🎷🥃

I’m consulting with a lawyer about what’s being said in this deposition, because how I’m interpreting it right now seems like it couldn’t be possible. I’m reading this, and it feels to me that Kirton McConkie is telling an abuse victim they have no right to know the contents of a conversation between a Bishop and a lawyer, which might include violations of priest/penitent privilege. I need to be honest: I’m sensitive to this topic because my priest/penitent privilege was violated by local leadership, so it may be skewing the way I’m interpreting the text. I’ll set the record straight once I have a firm grasp of what’s being said here.

🚨BIG SCANDAL IN ARIZONA SCHOOLS New investigation by 12News reveals MASSIVE GAPS between graduation rates and proficiency rates. Schools may be INFLATING graduation numbers to ensure more funding. Low grades means lower graduation rate, which results in lower enrollment and less funding. So schools are potentially giving kids higher grades so they “graduate,” even though they didn’t even pass. One high school reported a 91% graduation rate but only 34% of kids were proficient in English and 19% in Math! Arizona schools received about $16 Billion in 2024. There’s potentially hundreds of millions or billions of dollars of fraud here‼️

A federal appeals court has sided with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and overturned a lower court ruling that left the faith on the hook for a sexual abuse lawsuit settlement. sltrib.com/religion/2026/07/…

ex-Mormon Alyssa Grenfell explains the brainwashing in Mormon music: "basically you're taught from 3-years-old that when you sing a song about Joseph Smith and it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, that that is irrefutable truth that he was literally a prophet of God."

If you’re a Mormon and you don’t know about David Hamblin, Gordon Bowen, David Fuller, Brian David Mitchell, and Bill Carstensen, you have no right to insert yourself into the conversation about abuse coverups in the LDS Church. Y’all’s confidence far outweighs your intelligence. You’re in over your head. Go back to sleep, or get on board. The truth train is coming with or without you.

INSANITY: Tim Walz says we shouldn’t judge child molesters based purely on their decision to rape a child but on how they live their rest of their lives.

I'm glad the Tribune has decided to do these articles. Inside the constraints of being a Salt Lake media organization, I think they're very well done. If they would dig just one layer deeper, they would see just how awful LDS, Inc. is as it relates to this stuff. They could, for example, look at how annotations were handled in the Gordon Bowen case vs. how annotations were handled in the Wade Christofferson case vs. how annotations are handled when you're not rich and famous, or the brother of a church leader. If I can get sources willing to talk to me about this, then surely the Tribune can as well. I hope they won't settle for the easy story that makes it look like they care. We've had too much of that for too long. But truly, good on them for poking around the story and at least bringing it to people's attention. sltrib.com/religion/2026/07/…

A church being worth $300 billion is much less wonderful than Mormons have to tell themselves it is when you’re an abuse victim whose abuse was enabled and suppressed by the church and you’re trying to sue an institution with a net worth on par with Jeff Bezos

Do you know what has to happen to a man to lose his fear of confronting men with this much power? Bad things. Hard things. Things that strip away all illusions. Have you asked yourself why I am allowed to repeatedly make claims, month after month, that would get a man sued if what he said wasn’t true, especially at a time when the Mormon prophet is actively looking to make examples of critics in court? I will say it again: Gordon Bowen is a sexual predator. Dallin Oaks knows this, calls Gordon evil, but doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to Gordon and protect his flock. The reason this doesn’t get addressed is that dozens of church leaders accepted expensive gifts from Gordon, allowed him to find their relatives and friends jobs, ruined the lives and careers of church members on his behalf… and were deceived by him, which is both incredibly embarrassing, and strikes at the heart of their credibility as spiritual leaders. Men like Russell M. Nelson and Dallin Oaks were willing to bend over and take it in order to join fraternal organizations. Dallin might as well bend over and take it now, too, because he can’t win; he can only hide in ivory towers and pray my platform stays small.

Hard to ignore the timing: A survivor (581k followers) talks abt the McClung LDS CSA case. Mormon Stories engages publicly. 1 wk later: LDS Church sues Mormon Stories. Days later, news breaks alleging Oaks' son-in-law is tied to a McClung coverup. One hell of a coincidence.

Rep Nancy Mace wants the death penalty for child rapists. Do you support her new bill? congress.gov/bill/119th-cong…

This is stunning. If a Mormon is having a faith crisis, the two WORST people for them to talk to are devout parents and their leaders. In other words, the “BEST” Mormons are the WORST at being charitable, empathetic, and capable of conversion conversations. Ouch.

If your child is only taught WHAT to think, and not HOW to think, when they go out in the world they may shed your beliefs and get sucked into the next belief system they are exposed to. Teach them how to think and they will be able spot misinformation and radical agendas.

Ask the LDS Church HOW they shield kids from predators they refuse to report... And then enjoy the sound of crickets.🦗
