Great reporting by @taylorwanderson.bsky.social. This is a situation indicative of larger problems with a supermajority legislature that rushes policies through during a short session to fulfill a business-friendly agenda that values relationships over outcomes.

Did Two University of Utah Professors Use AI to Take SLC's Streets Away?
Alleged air quality expert Daniel Mendoza was the lead author on a paper that was used to justify a bill that blocks SLC's ability to make its streets safer.

Me and @ghostofmarlowe.bsky.social made a noir thriller short film about Mormonism last year.
It’s an homage to Charles Laughton’s 1955 film “Night of the Hunter” and we’re very proud of it.
We made it for a competition in 1 month on no budget.
You can watch it here:

Republicans are just rearranging fridge magnets to come up with new scandals at this point.
Just in: Texas' former solicitor general has left the AG's office amid sex misconduct allegations and a lawsuit outlining his apparent, months of detailed disclosures to colleagues about his sexual obsession with watching an asteroid anally rape the agency's No. 2 attorney in front of his kids.

I just want to scream this into the void, which I suppose is what social media essentially is...
I say this with all the fervor of my soul.
Fuck you, Utah Legislature. FUCK YOU with a jack hammer.
And Governor Cox can eat the mess, the sniveling coward.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment?

Literally if each person that showed up to protests in Utah today volunteered for the same amount of time they spent there for a candidate once each fall we would immediately pick up a handful of legislative seats, city councils, and mayors. Not exaggerating.

Ralph Fiennes has been one of the most consistently brilliant actors working in film for thirty years. It boggles the mind how much people take his work for granted.

Pretty happy this morning about the fact that a very good animated film from Latvia, with no words, put together with free software, on a $3.7m budget, has won an Oscar. Dream big, etc.
