It’s time for the old guard to step aside. We’re done with business as usual.

In the wake of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal, Chuck Schumer “intervened on Facebook's behalf…, telling a prominent Dem critic of the company to back off”. (See 2018 reporting.) His daughter worked for FB at the time. (See also 2018 reporting.) Another daughter now works for OpenAI. 1/

May I have your attention please? Will the real Dana White please stand up?! 😆🤦🏻‍♂️ I can’t believe today, on the 6th anniversary of the Four Seasons Landscaping debacle, he did it again. Lol. 😂 There’s no way he can walk this one back…whoops.

Yes 👍 please. I grew up hoping we’d have cool stuff like our country did for the 1976 bicentennial, but instead we got trumped. Worst celebration ever. I feel like we NEED to celebrate our country again, once we right some of these wrongs this current administration has inflicted upon our people.

America, how about we do the whole America 250 thing again with the folks who run the Minnesota State Fair in charge?

No lifeguard on duty here either. Sorry, ya kook. Props to Justin Metz for this illustration on the cover of this week’s “The Economist”. www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

Investigate, impeach, convict, remove, and prison. I’m suddenly craving a salad.

“Medic!” 🤣

What absolute legend did this

We’re up to some *really* good trouble, Mr. Lewis. I hope you’re feeling our collective tears of hope right now. And it feels good. 🥲

I did my civic duty and voted here in Utah. Fingers crossed for the change we’re all hoping for…🤞🔵🗳️

My feed is absolutely awesome this morning. Fingers crossed. Remember to breathe, drink water, and be happy. Also…Patagonia’s landing page is just awesome.

On this midterm election eve, a very friendly reminder, “Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing. Not career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we're going to survive with dignity.” - Audrey Hepburn

I work at a university library. One Halloween a pair of students in labcoats gave us candy and then took notes on clipboards.

My son has quite a sense of humor. I flipped on the light to go use my bathroom and THIS was waiting for me as I walked in. Scared the crap out of me! And then I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. Happy Halloween Eve everyone. 😂🤣

O Captain! My Captain! I’ll be lighting five candles in your honor tonight, Sir Patrick Stewart. 💔😏

I love this America, and am so angry at what maga has done to us. I still have issues with former President Bush. I have plenty of issues with things that happened under Obama as well…but they seem almost quaint and trivial (almost). I love this photo by Pablo Martinez Monsivais-Pool / Getty Images

The full Hunter’s Moon rises behind the Wasatch Mountains above the Salt Lake Valley. I’m feeling it deep in my bones tonight…I might have even gone a little feral and let out a howl or two.

Now I’m starting to get a little bit of iPhone Duo fomo. This Tiny Computer app brings all the nostalgia for a Macintosh iBook G3 in Blueberry. This was such a fun design at the time. Also remembering how great AppleWorks on Mac OS 9 was. But turning your iPhone into a Nintendo DS? Cool.

The lighting here is just so good…I can almost feel the excitement Bryan must have felt photographing these elk! 🙌

This is probably the best wildlife photo that I will ever take in my life.

I initially read this as “… psychedelics like psilocybin can lower inflation…” and was very curious how THAT would work. 😬😂 I couldn’t recall any studies about microdosing psychedelics in any of my college macroeconomics coursework. www.npr.org/2026/10/21/n...

New human data hints at psychedelics' potential to combat inflammation

Lab studies have shown that psychedelics like psilocybin can lower inflammation and may be protective for a range of illnesses. Now, researchers are publishing some of the first data in humans that si...

I think I should just hibernate this upcoming winter. Light a fire, put on some music, pour a cup of coffee, crack open a book…and ignore everything else until maybe March or April.

Quick trip to Dallas, TX for my nephew’s wedding, and as usual, Delta’s whole flight crew made for the best flight. My boy was invited into cockpit after he told the Captain, “Nice flyin’ Tex!” (We’d encountered some gnarly turbulence). He even scored a fleet trading card for our Airbus A220-300.

Pure. Cinema. 🙌

“Stop Making Sense” premieres 42 years ago today. 🎂 “.. shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do,” said director Jonathan Demme. “Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There's no acting. I love it.” [“Slippery People”]

Anyone else feeling this way? I do love a good rebus. 😬😩😤

A little bit of sunshine right before sunset this evening, breaking through low-lying clouds over the Oquirrh Mountains on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. Looks like one more day of rain…I know we need it, but gimme back the nice weather!

One big puffy storm cloud settling in over the peaks of the Wasatch Mountains last evening. The Salt Lake Valley is getting soaked right now. And we need all of it.

I wonder what the view from the starboard windows was like for the passengers? I can spend hours happily staring out the window on flights, but takeoff and landing are my favorites - particularly at sunrise and sunset.

Ukraine has hit ~3 Yandex data centers in Russia within the last few days. Must be a total coincidence, but bot activity (and comments on Truth Social under specifically Trump’s posts) have plummeted.🤔 Thank you President Zelenskyy for blowing up Russian data centers! May the bots rest in pieces.

Sometimes you need to see things in black and white in order to see the light. Utah is the the land of the Utes, the Núuchi-u. The “People of the mountains.” I’m grateful to be in this place (most days) that I get to call home.

I once sneezed on former president George G.W. Bush at a Costco in Sandy, UT.

Tell me a story about yourself that sounds like a lie but is actually true
