You should start a trash can company and sell them, and then decide that they're art and say that they've been collected by every institution that bought them.

Baptism for the dead united the human family. Joseph himself underscored its value in turning the hearts of the children to their fathers. Something had to bond all the generations from the first to the last going back through time as the prophet Malachi had written or the Earth would be wasted. Locating names and baptizing vicariously created the welding link. Nothing in his later life excited Joseph more than the idea of joining together the generations of humanity from start to finish.

A teeny-tiny inclusive language thing I’ve tried to get better at this past year is avoiding northern hemisphere-specific seasonal language. Like instead of ‘this summer,’ I say the months I mean, or a Q3. Because it might be that season for ME but not that season for everybody!

Reliance on revelation made Joseph and the other visionaries appear marginal, but like marginal people before them, the prohets aimed a question at the heart of their culture: if believers in the Bible dismissed revelation in the present, could they defend revelation in the past?

Recently, the founders of DOGE-inspired memecoin Shiba Inu Coin sent Vitalik Buterin half of all existing SHIB (presumably in an attempt to convince other traders that the Ethereum cofounder is fan). After Buterin donated more than $1 billion worth to India for Covid relief, he “burned” the majority of his remaining SHIB, removing them from circulation. Via a message on Ethereum blockchain, he warned other developers: “PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME COINS OR POWER IN YOUR PROJECT WITHOUT MY CONSENT!”
