If you attempt to post a harsh opinion on Meta, it is rejected and you are asked if you want to edit or cancel it. You could always hit “edit” then post it again unchanged. Now, that comment gets deleted that second time without posting. Misinformation, lies, and bullying are still fair game.

The high temperature at the Salt Lake Airport hit 61 degrees today. That beats the record of 59 set in 1933. It's the 4th all-time high set this month and the 17th set this year. 18 record highs are from last year. 23 were set in 2022. 72 of the highest daily temps were recorded in 2000-2025. 2 lows

Showing up to a movie, 10 minutes before the scheduled time, means sitting through 19 minutes of the same commercials I mute at home.

What kind of sport allows a team to sit on a lead and run out the clock while denying their opponent an opportunity to score? What kind of example is that as anything fair or sporting? It feels like cheating by the rules. 🏈⚽️🏀 It can’t happen in baseball. ⚾️

Golf is becoming increasingly infeasible in the modern climate, right along with skiing.

For a preview of what a "market-based" health insurance system would look like in America (the image often promoted by Republicans), look at the market for home insurance now. Nobody will insure a home in a hurricane zone, or you if you have any chronic health issues www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If I can hear your back-up beeper from the 3rd floor of my building, you're not protecting my safety. You're irritating me while I'm working.

How is “Receiving Gifts” a Love Language? I show you I love you by you buying me things?

A 69-yard touchdown pass gets called back because an offensive lineman was more than 3 yards forward from the line? This is why American football is bullshit. Are the teams playing each other or are they playing the rule book and the clock? (Utah vs Texas Tech) 🏈

Still waiting for someone who says “woke” like it’s a bad thing to tell me what the opposite of it is.

If Trump’s ear had been “grazed” by a bullet 1 year ago, there would be a clean circular chunk, with a diameter very close to 5.56mm, missing from it to this day.

So many unmarked police cars in downtown SLC for No Kings

The 2028 Republican Party presidential candidates are all onboard with Trump or saying nothing now. Remember that when he becomes a liability.

What sort of personality disorder leads a man to wear a fragrance at a conference? Why would you think I want to smell you during the plenary?

I have been on Internet forums since 1993. In all that time, I have learned a rule: sarcasm doesn’t work in text. Your readers shouldn’t need to wonder if you’re joking. Just say what you mean, unambiguously.

There are not enough minutes of actual gameplay in an NFL football game, and not enough games in a season, to reach any kind of meaningful result in a Super Bowl. Enjoy the commercials!

A checklist: If it’s a Republican in the White House, it’s another war in the Middle East, a bigger budget deficit, a crashed economy, weakened industry, worse healthcare, and now with added Fascism.

It's literally a topic in any first-semester Macroeconomics course: A tariff increases the price consumers pay, not just for products from the country hit by the tariff, but on all foreign and domestic substitute goods. Trump's tariffs will raise prices across the economy immediately.

Someone in the press needs to get him to explain this belief he has about water getting diverted from the Pacific Northwest to California. This is beyond a misunderstanding. It’s not simply uninformed. It’s flat stupid, if not insane. How can anyone see this as anything else?

He can’t understand complex systems. He likes simple explanations. He has never had to be smart. He was born rich and has lived his entire life surrounded by people who were paid to do whatever he says while telling him how great he is.

TIL: 95% of Trump tariff supporters don’t know Colombia vs. Columbia.

I’m kind of thinking I will put TikTok in the same bin as the Washington Post: I’ll check back with you in four years.

Can a president-elect override a law passed by Congress and signed by the sitting President and upheld by the Supreme Court? Seems like the sort of thing that Republicans would lose their shit over if a Dem had done it. Welcome to Fascism.

Tempted to review my doorstep video history to see if I went outside this past week.

If you disabled your Twitter/X account on the day after the election, your 30 day deletion date is tomorrow. Bye 👋

My favorite bit in hospital scenes in old movies and tv shows (aside from the total absence of screens) is when the doctor lights up a cigarette.

The game clock in football (American) is ridiculous. Makes the entire sport look like a joke. They spend 40% of the game standing around, then suddenly the last second is a 12+ minute judicial review with cops involved (ASU v BYU)

Remember: Your previous follower count on Twitter/X probably didn’t consist of anywhere close to that number of actual human users.

The answer to the Civil War cause question was identified in an episode of The Simpsons, back in 1996. It's all you need to know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFwH...
