@abc4utah.bsky.social following be a lil spicy, we stan

you come into my house on December 7, a date which will live in infamy

Still think of what's-his-name from the crew of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Indecision 2014 and chuckle any time the word Yankee comes up.

A NYC-based cable TV show once taped some shows at an ATX venue where I worked. I was outside having a smoke with one of the Local 1 crew and he said, "Man, I don't know how you handle the heat." I laughed - it was October - and called him a Yankee, to which he replied, "No, man, I'm a Mets guy."

Actors are what would happen if you crossed a cat and a monkey and gave it both delusions of grandeur and deeply-rooted insecurities

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

Have learned living in a very big family that babies will happily sleep through noise if it's consistent. Assuming because it's just then background noise to tune out. Quiet+sudden noise: wake up. Constant music/noise + suddenly quiet: will also wake up lol

It's interesting how that tendency translates into the arts too. Like, no, I have not read whatever The Play of the moment is, sorry that I'm an uncultured boor or whatever

i don't want a unifying Dem who promises to return to good government.

i want an angel of death who promises the government the reconstruction amendments promise.

I do not like living in a time where there is a lot of chatter about Dred Scott again, thanks

I'm not saying life is a vicious circle. But it may be a cruel rhombus. Or a callous trapezoid. At the very least, life is a bloodthirsty parallelogram

Dick Van Dyke??? ok well Cunt Truck Homo

"...ignored a slue of differences..." - should be "slew" 🤓

robert irwin voice: oh woaw

*absolutely insane noises filtering up through the floor*
Me: what's going on down there today?
Assistant: masks class
Me: oh, OK

Yeah, I absolutely don't want to see it, but having it out in the public domain has value, although less so in the age of genAI fakery.

At various times working for performing arts organizations, my office has been above or below rehearsal studios and the noises I have heard coming from those rooms are hilarious, especially out of context.

GALADRIEL: (glowing green) In place of a hard roll, I would have whole wheat—beautiful and terrible to behold!
DELI GUY: #3 on wheat.
G: (coyly) You offer it to me freely.
DG: No, Galadriel. You have to pay. Every day with this

Your skeet also says the UT SC is forcing the leg to comply with Prop 4, but those orders have only come from Judge Gibson based on the underlying ruling in League of Women Voters, and those orders have not yet been appealed to the SC.

I did, thanks, but the post says "But the Utah Supreme Court struck down that law as unconstitutional..." It did not do so, the district court did and that ruling has not been reviewed on appeal.

Mostly a useful patsy. The UT Gov .has little actual power, the state is run by the GOP leg. caucus. Cox is only Gov. because the state GOP hasn't been able to get rid of the Count My Vote primaries and go back to caucus/convention-only primaries. Otherwise, we'd have Gov. Phil Lyman *shudder*

The Utah Supreme Court has not ruled directly either on Prop 4 or on any of the maps in play. The only UT SC ruling in this case after the remand was a denial of a stay on technical grounds. The tactics seen here are preemptive to prevent affirming on appeal or stopping new legislative power grabs.

The district court then held that the law modifying/repealing Prop 4 was unconstitutional per that ruling and thus the 2021 map was unconstitutional as it didn't then comply with the Prop 4 requirements and ordered a new map to be drawn, then found that new map also didn't meet the requirements.

That's not quite right. Judge Gibson originally dismissed the Prop 4 lawsuit and then the Utah Supreme Court held that the Utah Constitution doesn't allow the legislature to repeal certain ballot propositions if they reform government. They did not rule on Prop 4, it went back to the district court.

Any time I see references to the HTS, I remember learning that I could temporarily import theater stuff under bond when we rented a production from the Royal Birmingham Ballet, which was apparently news to my dude at OOCL . . . and that's where my knowledge stops, lol

hey henry, fuck off

And, like, the flip comparison to the government of North Korea is both off-base and kinda rude, tbh.

Sure, but the question "are Mormons Christian?" is substantially different from "is the Latter-Day Saint movement Trinitarian per Nicene in the tradition of the (variously) ecumenical Christian Church post 325CE?". Short answer to the first question is closer to yes/sorta than hard no, imho.

Jesus is the center of the LDS faith. It's inherently a Protestant Christian denomination, not some separate religion.
