@kremlincardinal.bsky.socialOne of the recurring themes I took away from #GeneralConference is that each of us would do well to assess our relationship with tech, be it our devices, the apps we use, and how we treat each other in digital spaces. I can do better and I am going to try.
@newsanalysis.comPresident Dallin H. Oaks concluded the October 2026 General Conference by inviting all to attend the Salt Lake Temple open house in April 2027 and to prayerfully ponder conference messages for increased worship and learning. #GeneralConference #News
@newsanalysis.comElder David A. Bednar taught that ordinances and covenants, when sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise, are binding on earth and in heaven. He emphasized their role as spiritual credentials for divine purpose and strength. #GeneralConference #News
@newsanalysis.comElder Edward Dube of the Presidency of the Seventy encouraged Latter-day Saints to "Come unto Christ" during the October 2026 General Conference. He emphasized that Christ can perfect us, regardless of our current state, inviting all to rely on His Atonement. #GeneralConference #News
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialWhy we watch #GeneralConference
@erinhooley.bsky.socialTens of thousands gather for the 196th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, in Salt Lake City. (Erin Hooley/Deseret News) #GeneralConference #LDS #Mormon #ChurchofJesusChris #SaltLakeCity
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialBut, another #GeneralConference done, another long-form review coming on the podcast. I'll repost the thread from last session that summarizes why @shannongrover.bsky.social and I watch it... Mostly so that you don't have to!
Signing off, thanks for tuning in.
Your ob't sv't,

@bryceblankenagel.bsky.social#GeneralCONference was perfectly par-for-the-course this time around. We'll discuss it, at length, on the next @glassboxpodcast.bsky.social but suffice it to say, nothing unexpected happened. Everybody did their part, conservative retrenchment is in full swing.
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialStill catching up SunAM #GeneralCONference. #EdwardDube just told us #DallinOaks had a trespassing sign removed from a church property. Uuuuuh, no. That didn't happen. No attorney, and CERTAINLY NOT OAKS, would allow that sign to come down from their property. Just another GA lying from the lectern.
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialAnd as soon as #RosemaryChibota finishes her talk, #NielAnderson gets up and tells her story for her, instead of her being able to tell her own story during her own talk. The optics of this are really not as good as they think they are.
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialAlright, catching up on SunAM #GeneralCONference. #RosemaryChibota spent her talk, as a black woman, telling us that the labels the world gives us don't matter because they aren't real. The only label that matters is a "son or daughter" of god, a disciple of JC.
@pierrewilko.bsky.socialIs it just me or are moustaches slowly but surely taking over the tabernacle choir?

@churchofjesuschrist.social"We are welcoming the world, in person or virtually, to the Salt Lake Temple Celebration. On April 5, 2027, the temple doors of the Salt Lake Temple will open to the public—the first such opening since 1893."
—President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH)
#GeneralConference
@neilfan12.bsky.social✝️🕍 Well, #LDS General Conference is over (next one in April). Decent talks. One which caused most buzz this weekend was about not #gambling. Like the last two conferences, NO new temples announced. #GeneralConference #LDSConf ❉
@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialAnd #DallinOaks ends by giving us his promise that he super-duper pinkie swears that everything you've heard at conference is true because he says it is. And a quick plug or two.
Now off to watch this morning's sessions to see what I missed.

@bryceblankenagel.bsky.socialAnybody who had #MoralAgency on their #GeneralCONference bingo card can go ahead and put a skittle on it. Bednar has ascended and he's bringing his agenda. Hang the fuck on!
