We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

With the Utah Yeti officially not going to happen, it’s time to give the people what they want Utah Ice Holes

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

Basketball courts that should land someone In jail 3. Dallas Mavericks 2. Brooklyn Nets 1. San Jose State University

January 9th, snow plows have still not been out this winter (snow hasn’t stuck in the valley yet, but climate change isn’t real /s) Sure glad we designed our road systems around convenience for driving snow plows.

The prequels definitely tapped into the ether

The average AP voter couldn’t tell you what state Utah State University is located in. The top 25 is laughable #CollegeBasketball #UtahStateAggies #AP

Your sports opinion means absolutely nothing to me if you think a good strategy to build a championship team is to trade two future hall of famers for draft picks, and intentionally lose games for 7-10 years #UtahJazz #TakeNote also fuck Danny Ainge

I'm glad public opinion has shifted for Amber Heard but nothing could ever make up for what she was put through. She testified thru tears that her husband routinely beat & raped her and people/brands mocked her. No one spoke up for her. She had to pay her abuser thousands. She had to leave the U.S.

can’t pay teens for sex and become attorney general anymore on account of woke

Have you seen this one before? A short history of traffic engineering via @copenhagenizers.bsky.social. Manufactured #CarDependency takes a lot of forms, including how easy or hard we make it to get from A to B using any other ways of getting around. A direct result of the wrong priorities.

If we’re really going to live through the fall of a great republic into a fascist empire couldn’t we at least have lightsabers?

I like how the State of Utah has billboards up and down I-15 saying “Stand for the Land” to support their attempt to wrestle public lands away from the Federal Government. And then you ask what the state wants to do with the lands and the answer is always “sell to mining interests and developers”

Things I do at work that are dumb #TIDAWTAD Answer the phone by saying my name and department, only for the first two questions I’m asked almost always being what my name is and what department I work in

Things I do at work that are dumb #TIDAWTAD Make sure every house has enough space dedicated to parking 4, F-150 extended cab long bed trucks #CityPlanning

Rather than building coalitions and helping build confidence in the system and dense communities with integrated transit systems that free everyone from the need to have a car and that everyone benefits from we far too often focus on a small subgroup who already sees the value and has the confidence

…about not being physically fit enough, getting winded, sweaty etc. it doesn’t help that many times some of the best as advocates for urbanism default to insults to make their points. “Car drivers are fat/lazy etc”…

As a fat person, I’ve often felt urbanism, advocating for different types of transit and commuting falls flat in messaging how it benefits unfit people. Walking and riding transit is comfortable but too often I’ve run into people who feel like even it’s a good idea, they are worried…

Being a crypto bro is probably the most embarrassing thing I could think of

1. FC Nürnberg‘s ultras with a message towards the German FA (DFB) re their vote in favor of holding the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia: “You voted for Saudi Arabia yesterday and already ordering the One Love armband tomorrow? Your spine is exactly as flexible as your morals!”

Sure glad CBS decided to bless us with Colts - Broncos it’s not like Lions - Bills was on at the exact same time

Utah Hockey Club is a dumb name, but Utah Yeti will be so much worse #Utah UtahHC

great illustration by @strongtowns.org bringing clarity to the concept

byu (the whY?) will spend $5 million on a single basketball player, but is too afraid to schedule a game in the Utah State Spectrum #cowards #utahstateaggies #byu

Will never quite understand those who continue to defend a position when it’s demonstratively false. There must be some pathology to it

“I just want to say my words were taken out of context. I don’t think I’m better than people that live in high density housing like townhomes, I just think they should be kept with other people like them. You know people with the same values.” #OverHeardAtCouncilMeeting
