Desert Johnny Resists ✊

I will never understand how people find baseball or golf exciting enough to watch more than 3 minutes.

Well, what have we here?

Taps sign, "ahem".

Just like that, only one fb team in the BIG12 is undefeated. 🫠

That's what happens when you don't have refs to back up your shoddy performance.

Get out and vote Utah!

Fyi It's telling when a team has to use trick plays to stay competitive in sportsball games. It's an attempt to cover a blatant skill deficit and while it may be cute and work once or twice, it's not sustainable.

Hot take: One aim of data centers is ultimately to change and control public perception by creating an alternate reality with bot farms and AI. Obviously there are many more ugly things planned but data centers are and will always be a net negative for society while oligarchs own and run them.

Well, ain't that lovely?

If none of the 57 men on a group chat that were invited to participate in a gang rape took any action to stop it, should any of us be surprised that Jeffrey Epstein’s best bud is the President of the United States and people STILL full-throated support him?

😕 🌎 🔥

I said this in a NY Times story last week about the WA millionaire tax, but let’s bring back shame. Even if billionaires don’t know it’s wrong to do shit like this, they should know it’s embarrassing.

Amplify for accountability and abolish frats. Fraternities don't benefit anyone but their own boy's club.

DOGE?

Why side with rapists and try to cause more harm to the victim? This is disgusting.

This guy owns flock cameras

Well, well, well, How the turntables

Beautiful thing

Take as old as time. The Mormon church has always been attempting to not seem behind the times. There are double standards everywhere, and for the most part targeted at women. Also, a reminder that Monson is a doofus or gaslighting.

🗑️ slimeball behavior like when a bully gets called out.

Let's not pretend that Catholicism or any patriarchal religion is some blessing to the world by focusing on positives and ignoring all the harm, raping, pillaging, violence, and killing they are responsible for throughout history. Only cherry picking "good aspects" doesn't make it good.

Dripping with irony, enshittification never stops. This could serve as an ad for a political opponent.

Frats need to be demolished and banned. They are self-serving, net evil.

😡

New data center proposals are cropping up fast, so The Tribune built a tool to help track them all. And we could use your help to keep it up to date.

TIL a new term: Nazionist

I'm not a conspiracy type. Though tpusa refused advice from UVU to move the event to a more safe space and got their own security preferences met. It really makes me think about who is responsible for the death of a scheduled event speaker. 🤔

I don’t know why it took me so long to see the parallel between the Tech Bros’ “network state” strategy (“parallel institutions”) & the “7 mountains mandate.” But now that I see it, I can’t unsee it. 1/

Road use fees should be based on the main factors contributing to wear: 1) vehicle weight and 2) mileage. This approach is fuel agnostic. I can't wait until they devise a way to charge bicycle commuters a road use fee, you know the utleg wants to. 🫠

Abolish ICE, the gestapo of the trump fascist regime. 🗑️

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics.

This courage— from the woman who witnessed and filmed Alex Pretti’s murder—is like nothing I’ve ever seen OMG 😭 Thank you to Senator Blumenthal and Rep. Garcia for giving Stella an opportunity to finally tell her story.

Facebook reels are now dishing up tourism ads for Israel... 🤔

Heads up folks. There are accounts on bluesky defending Republican fascists, openly purporting that Republicans staying in power will be better than Dems. They are the same as the troll farms on the former Twitter. If you oppose them, they harass and threaten you. Don't engage. Report and block.

It's been 8 days.

Never mind I have things to do outside, I love this weather.

I don't mind people using AI to help them draft email replies, but please for the love of dog edit the suggestion so that it actually sounds like something you'd say.

Utah Republicans are so afraid of catching "the gay" from rainbows. Imagine being so frail and insecure.

Who was that Sarah person on Money Power Politics with @stephruhle.bsky.social ? I didn’t agree with her AT ALL. Dems DO talk ‘kitchen table’ issues. Republicans start culture wars and are better at convincing people to care more about fake issues while doing better financially under Democrats.

“This slapdash effort is guaranteed to result in significant problems just weeks before the election, potentially disenfranchising thousands of voters.” The goal is to disenfranchise millions* of voters, not thousands.

Lots of 💰💰💰 to be made in this space. I'm optimistic but can't fight off the suspicion that it will turn into a money grab for grifters and a critical resource chokehold for authoritarian figures. Madmax-esk visions
