East High’s walkout and protest from today (2/6) here in Salt Lake City!

I saw the last showing of any Sundance movie in Utah last night in Park City. A sad ending to a much-needed influx of culture into the state. Over the years, I discovered a lot of strange movies, went to some wild parties and hung out with the Black Eyed Peas. RIP Utah Sundance.

Maybe order another couple ...

Now, more than ever, check out a novel from your public library, get yourself some snacks, and READ for pure joy. You deserve it.

When thinking about Stephen Miller cheerleading the Minneapolis violence, it's worth noting he recently moved to an army base.

We have proposals to reform Silicon Valley through antitrust. We need something similar for the Imperial Valley and the Colorado River, where 20 wealthy farming families use more water than three Southwestern states. My new blog: zakpodmore.substack.com/p/new-colora...

I would read a roundup of dumb things said by local pols on fringe podcasts!

I just tried Anthropic Claude, which is generally pretty great: Less wrong but more hilarious.

I'm kind of mad at you for making me listen to old Pink Floyd this morning.

The Mormons later said if they'd been delayed the two weeks it took to build the road, they wouldn't have gotten any crops in the ground, and they were sorely needed the next year.

The pioneers came down Emmigration Canyon using a road that was built by the Donner Party. It took over two weeks for the Donner Party to make it down the canyon the year before the Mormons came.
