New report claims downtown Salt Lake City is booming; others don't feel that way
A new report claims downtown SLC is growing—with more visitors, more spending. But while the numbers point to a stronger economy, some say their experience on the ground tells a different story.

It would, except the alternatives—cars—are even *more* expensive than the cake. But also, you can maybe understand why bike/walk advocates (who know a lot about these topics) get a little prickly when someone dismisses the possibility of a better world due to some well-studied, disproven reason.

I used to think this was tin-foil-hat crackpot stuff but now I think they might have a point—how else did their brains get so cooked?

This, and you should have to renew your license more frequently. In Utah it's every eight (8) years, which is waaaay too long.

Dang! I knew the 9th & 9th Whale was powerful, but they just *barely* unveiled the new paint job and already Hurricane Rachel is aimed straight for SLC!

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Whale Fest in SLC's 9th & 9th neighborhood. We love the whale and we love the new mural, 'Open Your Eyes' by Jiyoun Lee-Lodge!
A selfie of me and my wife in front of the 'Out of the Blue' sculpture in Salt Lake City. It's a life-sized whale breaching out of the center of a roundabout. The new mural is gradient of blue, white, and link, with a large eye painted on the aide and speckled with a rainbow of dots.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

We both cried today at the Old Courthouse in St. Louis where Harriet & Dred Scott first sued for their freedom. Overwhelmed with sadness at how terrible the world was (and continues to be). And overwhelmed with gratitude for every single person striving to make it better.

Pretty cool to fly over Texas and see hundreds of wind turbines poking up through the clouds. Likewise for vast fields of solar panels.

(RNS) — DNA testing has upended some families by finding living relatives we never knew we had. Two Latter-day Saint researchers want to study how people cope with such revelations.

I had to close my windows because my neighbor got a mini 4-wheeler, which is spewing smoke as the kids ride up and down the street. In our era of cheap, powerful batteries, a gas-powered toy feels backward & kind of medieval. Like how peasants used to dump sewage out their windows into the street.

one of the big frameworks I use for thinking about the W.E.I.R.D. world I live in is: For most of human history, labor was cheap and materials (and energy) were expensive, and relatively recently that changed to labor being expensive, and materials being cheap. This impacted pretty much everything

A statistic that haunts me because it is 100% true and shocking and useless in advocacy precisely because it is true and shocking: Policy that enables a 1-car lifestyle rather than 2 is equivalent to giving a family a $25,000 annual pay raise.
