My older daughter learned to ride a bike today. She was so happy. As she was riding, she said, “I feel free.” My heart is full.

Amazing that the GOP and its state media managed to convince most of their voters that a myth like gender reassignment surgery in schools is a bigger threat than something actually happening and killing children—school shootings

[taps the sign]

Please GOP, send Hassett on the campaign trail. All across America

A key priority of a future Dem administration should be regulating social media platforms - especially X and the Meta ones - to reduce the odds of foreign interference and the use of algorithms to push the interests of one party - hello, Elon

My early vote is in. Counted. Get yours in early!

Morning run

Odd that right-wingers in other countries just concede when they lose elections. They don’t try to foment an insurrection to overturn the results

The morning brought a beautiful hike in the Salt Lake City foothills

Yard signs don’t vote, but this is in a relatively conservative part of SLC, and it seems almost homemade. We might get a blue wave after all

“We are in a climate emergency!” “Too many people die in traffic crashes!” We surely don’t act like we take any of those issues seriously

Golden hour

I heard the school down south had a bad game in Florida. That’s too bad

Grandeur Peak, Utah

Someone has a bit too much fun before College Game Day

I'd never thought I'd see a pro-housing mayor in Los Angeles, but there's a very good chance this year. Please support Nithya Raman if you're a voter in the City of Los Angeles

No other self-description tells me you're a NIMBY better than calling yourself a "concerned citizen."

Like clockwork

Dems should run ads calling the GOP “the party of data centers” because it’s who they are. Data centers are creating so much disruption and damage that it’s time to regulate them like power plants and landfills—environmental hazards

Disappointed, but not surprised, that the Salt Lake City Council wants to add the poison pill of owner-occupancy to Expanding Housing Options, a missing middle housing reform. Here we go again—this will be great if the goal is to build a lot less housing

Beautiful morning for a ride

Pizza steel in the conventional oven at 550 F? Approved! I love my outdoor pizza oven but when the weather gets dark and chilly, the steel does the job

Love this for them

urban street projections across the globe in Wellington, NZ including solidarity with Toronto. 🔥🔥 @axleryde.bsky.social

A student shared this 2014 op-ed about the now very successful Provo-Orem bus rapid transit in Utah. Back in 2014, the project was being discussed, and it eventually opened in 2018. The author begins the piece with, "The family unit is under attack right here in Provo." Incredible stuff.

People go all out with Halloween decorations

I generally don’t ride a bike on stroads, but sometimes they’re the only option or fastest option. Thus the argument that bike infrastructure only belongs on secondary streets is BS. It’s not an uncommon narrative unfortunately
