Word of the day, from Pennsylvanian Dutch, is ‘ferhoodled’, meaning ‘tangled’ or ‘all mixed up’. Can be used of anything from a sock drawer to life.

I got to watch an early link of this film and I’m really impressed with the focus on her life as a gay woman and how she handled it while being in the spotlight.

Hawaii moves 7.5cm closer to Alaska every year. This is considered flirting in plate tectonics.

Considering the stance Paramount+ recently took against many of the values that WoSo espouse so closely to kowtow to the wrong side of politics, I'm not sure we should be celebrating this all that much.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Maybe it’s a long shot, but is there anyone in Salt Lake City who is looking to sell a ticket for Trampled by Turtles at the Red Butte Garden on Thursday? More family members are visiting Utah this week than anticipated and want to go to the show.

I love inducting new players into the amazing world of D&D and most of our roster includes people who have never played! Come show up and support these amazing streamers and show them why we love TTRPGs so much! twitch.tv/tux2

Orville Wright died January 30, 1948. Kenny Loggins was born January 7, 1948. That means the guy who invented flight and the guy who sang “Danger Zone” from “Top Gun” were alive at the same time.

What I'm telling you cannot be shared. I'm sending someone I trust, someone I know I can trust. You'll ask if he's alone. He will say, "I have friends everywhere." "I have friends... everywhere." Those words. #andor #starwars

Please welcome @slcmoves.bsky.social to BlueSky! Great seeing them here. I encourage the SLC bike/ped community to engage constructively with them here and elsewhere. Remember, city staff work hard on transportation issues, and often street design shortcomings are due to politics, not to staff

Any seismology folks ( @drwendyrocks.bsky.social ?) familiar with Kīlauea know if HVO recently changed the scale/sensitivity on their seismometers? It looks like a lot more frequent small quakes the past few days than what I'm used to seeing between events, not sure if change in data or activity.
