I hope people boycott the Superbowl for catering to Trump and his raging racism.
I've been watching the Superbowl since I was a wee Beardog. Never missed one. This year I can't bring myself to watch it. They will be focusing on The Orange Turd the whole game. They have taken the end racism message out of the endzone. Still going to eat our snacks but it'll be movie time.

“This is not a cat problem,” Provo Police Captain Brian Wolken said. “This is a people problem.”
It’s unclear how Provo plans to address the issue, but police have offered one solution: Make it illegal to feed the cats so, in turn, they may eventually starve, or possibly migrate elsewhere.

Best Friends offered Provo $1M to run a trap-neuter-return program for feral cats. Police suggested letting the ‘little predators’ starve.
Utah County has the state’s highest shelter euthanasia rate, and the proposed Best Friends program aimed to reduce those numbers. Provo police have instead suggested making it illegal to feed nuisance stray cats to starve them out.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

A Black spy saved George Washington’s life, helped win the Revolutionary War, and still had to buy his freedom.
If America really loved Black history, James Armistead Lafayette would have his own blockbuster spy movie by now. Instead, we get another reboot of Batman.

Part 1: Utah: legislation is being voted on that will affect public workers' ability to collectively bargain.
1) look up who your reps are: le.utah.gov/GIS/findDist...
2) You can message them through the website, which I find is a pain but you can also look up their emails on the site.
