Did Two University of Utah Professors Use AI to Take SLC's Streets Away? Alleged air quality expert Daniel Mendoza was the lead author on a paper that was used to justify a bill that blocks SLC's ability to make its streets safer.

Oh the irony of so many "Lions, Not Sheep" shirts.

As someone who lives an hour away, I can verify that Orem is every bit the shit hole that it appears to be in that photo. I hate the place.

Me and @ghostofmarlowe.bsky.social made a noir thriller short film about Mormonism last year.

It’s an homage to Charles Laughton’s 1955 film “Night of the Hunter” and we’re very proud of it.

We made it for a competition in 1 month on no budget.

I just want to scream this into the void, which I suppose is what social media essentially is...
I say this with all the fervor of my soul.
Fuck you, Utah Legislature. FUCK YOU with a jack hammer.
And Governor Cox can eat the mess, the sniveling coward.

Imaging a universe in which we’re all arguing over the absolute most boring normie shit Kamala Harris is doing, blissfully unaware of the event horizon dimension we’d all narrowly averted

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment?

They utterly failed the test of history.

Literally if each person that showed up to protests in Utah today volunteered for the same amount of time they spent there for a candidate once each fall we would immediately pick up a handful of legislative seats, city councils, and mayors. Not exaggerating.

They think teachers are as stupid as a typical Republican voter. They're wrong.

Utah tax cut plan: $2,000 for top 1%, $31 for average family Utah Legislature advances tax cut proposal that would save top earners $2,000 annually while average families get $31, despite falling revenue projections.

Utah lawmakers advance tax cut that gives top 1% of earners about $2,000/year while average Utah families get enough to buy lunch at Crown Burger ($31/year).
