With talks of gutting the EPA workforce by 75%, this is what the Cuyahoga River looked like before the EPA and Clean Water Act, btw.

Red-level alert for the Utah active transportation community. Please write to your state reps (especially in a red district) asking them to oppose SB 195, which would prevent SLC from implementing any traffic safety measures. Here's part of the email I wrote to my reps (feel free to reuse).

Zoning in theory: we need land use regulation to keep homes away from sources of pollution. Zoning in practice: the only places you can build new housing are right next to the highways and high-traffic streets that are your city’s largest sources of pollution.

History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders. - Terry Pratchett, Jingo

The federal RTO fiasco reminds me of when my dad’s division sold their office building and then demanded employees to return to the office. My dad and his coworkers were like “uh there is no office. You sold it…”

Hey fellow Utahns: please take a moment to contact your state legislators and urge them to vote no on HB267, which would not only take away your rights to join a union as a public employee, but would also punish you if you do. Find your legislators here: le.utah.gov/GIS/findDist... #UTPol

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Such irresponsible framing by Speaker Schultz. Homelessness is not “Salt Lake City’s problem.” It affects people across the state and especially along the Wasatch Front. Statements like these just show horrible bias against SLC.

I know money is tight across the board, but if you're able, I'd -STRONGLY- consider getting back into media ownership. Physical books and owned EPUBs. DVDs and Blurays. DRM-free music and games. CDs and tapes. We've entered the era of owning nothing. Personal ownership is a small act of rebellion.
