TERRORIST: “Hello, dad! Dad, I am inside Mefalsim [Israel]—open your WhatsApp right now, and see all the killed. Look at how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!” FATHER: “Allahu Akhbar, Allahu Akhbar! May God protect you.” TERRORIST: “This is inside Mefalsim, father. I am talking to you from the phone of a Jew—I killed her and her husband—I killed ten with my own hands.” “Open your phone and see how many I killed, father. Open your phone, I am calling you on WhatsApp.” FATHER: Crying (unintelligible). TERRORIST: “I am in Meflasim, father. I killed ten! Ten! Ten, with my own bare hands! Their blood is on my hands! Let me talk to Mom—” MOTHER: “Oh, my son, may God protect you!” TERRORIST: “I killed ten all by myself, mother!” FATHER: “May God bring you home safely.” TERRORIST: “Father, go back to WhatsApp! I want to call you live from Mefalsim!” MOTHER: “I wish I was there with you!” TERRORIST: “Mother, your son is a hero. I was the first to enter under the guidance and with the help of Allah. Father, lift your head—lift your head!” (Talking to terrorists on the scene: “Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them! Inside, inside, into the city!”) BROTHER: “Mahmoud, Mahmoud. Come back [to Gaza]—that's enough, return.” TERRORIST: “Return? There is no return—it is victory or martyrdom. My mother gave birth to me for Islam, Alaa. Are you serious? How will I return? Look at WhatsApp—look at your phone—look at all the dead.”

Tragic scenes in France. Israel condemns the violence from BOTH SIDES, and calls for immediately starting negotiations for a two-state solution in France, which is the only way to end the conflict.

It’s insane to tomboys—who don’t fit female stereotypes—are being told they might be actual boys. It’s even more insane that medical professionals encourage these unique girls to cut off their healthy breasts, as a way to find acceptance and love.

BREAKING: Tennessee Department of Corrections says it will not attempt to execute Christa Pike again unless she gets a Covid booster.

My wife, after I return home from an assigned shopping trip and I got milk-chocolate chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet ones...

Usually I feel uplifted after conference, but not this time. I'm not sure why. I probably need to re-listen to them.

Finally... I don't even know what I did though.

I don't gamble, but I'd love a Utah State Lottery if it meant we got rid of property tax. Never owning your own land is more immoral than gambling, because it's done by force.

@grok Has there been any religion more persecuted in United States history than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Not ethnicities or tribes. Just give me a one-word answer.

If you haven't gotten out to see the leaves, your time is running out. Should be a gorgeous conference weekend in northern Utah.

Hot take: Once you hit middle age, wearing another grown man’s name across your back starts getting weird. You’re 43 with kids and a mortgage. Why are you walking around Costco with a 22-year-old's name and number on your back? No me gusta.

I'm strongly considering following @RealCandaceO to watch the crash and burn from these lesbian accusations. Everyone assumed Charlie rejected her and that's why she attacking Erika. Maybe ERIKA rejected her and that's why she's so bitter.

Okay, but we can all agree that this should NEVER happen, right??

There's something therapeutic about splitting wood under a nearly full moon. And how about the colors in northern Utah right now? Spectacular!

If you say "Free Palestine" in a mirror three times, Yasser Arafat appears and rejects a peace deal that would have freed Palestine

Blondes disappointing their fathers with their haircuts is my culture, and I ask that it not be appropriated
