It's hard to keep being a fan when all your team does is score own goals. USA front office needs to make some serious changes as soon as the trade window opens up. We have plenty of home grown talent... can we get a potus team that understands "ball in net" isn't good if it's your *own* net?

Descanse en Paz, Pope Francis. You consistently gave me holy envy that the Catholic Church had such a compassionate leader who consistently spoke out to defend the poor, the immigrant, and what Jesus might recognize as 'the least of these'. Your leadership brought many to live in a more godly way.

So many of my family and friends have received care and benefitted from research and treatment at the U's Huntsman Cancer Institute. It is one of the things I most dearly want government funding to direct my tax dollars to. Removing that funding for no reason is inhumane, and also unconstitutional.

Are Utah legislators unhappy with a vote by mail system that continues to re-elect them? The fact they want these changes shows they are listening more to the national GOP drivel than their own constituents. And it makes me wonder about their critical thinking skills.

Obviously. I'm still mostly for old school books and library browsing is a great way to find your next pick. I also love getting past pay walls thanks to the library system.

I used to love google products, but there's something about abandoning your "don't be evil" motto that just signals... you're planning to be evil. Next big project is to get off gmail. I'm done having them read all my emails.

We have to be asking ourselves how to hold someone accountable who appears to not believe in accountability. We have a republic...if we can keep it.

This is an estimate of how Utah would be affected by the proposed NIH indirect cuts, based on published F&A rates and funding. Original thread goes through for all the states.

"Women and minorities" is immediately the majority of people. Let's act like the powerful majority we are.

Discourse with fellow Americans, especially online, is growing more and more impossible. What do you do to find/create productive conversation with people who don't already agree with you?
