Here's a few favorite cargo haul memories in no particular order:
• La-Z-Boy recliner when we moved house via bike.
• 3 kayaks and my youngest sibling.
• ~300 pounds of scrap metal, including 9 junk bikes.
• A ~400-pound headstone out of the mountains for my sister's grave.

They don't actually care what the public wants, they just know they've created an electoral mess for themselves in 2026. So, they'll repeal to dodge accountability, but their union-busting bill will return.

GOP leaders have been in talks with labor unions to put a repeal of HB267, the so-called "union busting" bill, on the agenda for Tuesday's special session.
With a referendum looming in 2026, Republicans fear backlash if it stays on the ballot.

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter
Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

Not so different from SLC, where a handful of rich, powerful a*holes convinced their buddies in the state legislature to strip the city of control over city-owned streets.
Denver scaled back a street safety project after pushback from the family of Colorado's wealthiest man.
While the city told the public that construction was the hold up, @spencersoicher.bsky.social obtained internal city emails showing the issue was "high level" community concerns.

The ONE good thing AVs offer over human drivers is they actually follow traffic laws. But people dislike following traffic laws, so AV companies are making their machines more dangerous.

Interesting study from Germany on e-bikes and the modes they replace:
"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions"

A grimly fascinating chapter of history. At Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, renowned architects constructed full-scale replicas of German & Japanese homes so the military could test which combinations of ordnance would annihilate them most efficiently. A pure, clinical science of killing. Chilling!

Hey, @elevateutahpac.bsky.social, signature gatherers can't do their work on USPS property, right? Some of the legislature's pro-gerrymandering crews have been soliciting people in the doorways of my local post office.
Can anything be done about that (besides simply telling them to go elsewhere)?

A friend asked me, "Why can't we build a pipeline from the ocean to help the Great Salt Lake?"
It would cost $100 billion to build, ~$1B annually to operate, would generate massive CO2 emissions, and can only meet ⅓ of the lake's water needs even if it ran all year round (which it likely couldn't).

A few readers have brought up the idea of pumping Pacific Ocean water to the Great Salt Lake in response to our recent GSL coverage.
You can read this 2023 story for all the details, but here’s a quick thread on what experts say about the feasibility of a Great Salt Lake pipeline:

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving

my hot take about the Oklahoma essay is evangelicals are soft from never having to seriously engage with apologetics as a dominant faith culture. I could have written a better essay than that in high school and it’s because Mormons have a robust culture of fake academia.
