I wrote a new story (and a game!) about the labor shortage.

A person’s vote is their voice. Thanks to vote-by-mail, more Utahns are making their voices heard. The numbers speak for themselves.

@jesus_osorior Really bad acting.

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@NateForUtah @SpencerJCox Just to be clear, we've spliced together two completely unrelated things here to make it look like Governor @SpencerJCox approves of President Trump's unhinged letter, correct? You that comfortable with manufacturing misinformation?

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@sltrib Well this provided a much needed comedy break from the current horror show of news

@bikelakecity Riding a bike or being a pedestrian is the riskiest extreme sport available in the State of Utah. I hope she recovers soon!

@mikemckellutah Thanks! I got my donation in

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@mikemckellutah He's getting to the "embarrassingly desperate" part of the campaign pretty early. Not a good sign.

As a rule, I do not post about my faith. I'm happy to talk faith, face-to-face, but social media just always feels too profane a venue for it.
But it's been a rough 24 hours of reflection, so let me just say once and for all,
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am a Christian, and consider Christ my savior. I served 2 years as a missionary in Italy, the two most formative years of my life. I grew up in Utah, but I am actually an adult convert to my faith. My faith is the dearest thing to me. Everything good that has come to me over the past 25 years, I trace back to my decision at age 20 to be baptized. To the extent that I am a good person today, it is because of the many years I have spent in wards and branches of our church - in Iowa, Rhode Island, Texas, Massachusetts, Italy, and Utah - learning and serving beside my fellow saints. The very salt of the earth.

[Lt. Gov. Deidre M. Henderson @LGHendersonUtah]

Love your enemies. Dr. Arthur Brooks and I share this vision for the future of Utah and the world. We are all called to be part of the movement - to condemn political violence and embrace disagreement in a positive way. We were honored to be part of the 10-year commemoration of the Kem C. Gardner Institute and its policy of “leading with light.” The best is yet to come.

@ThomasShel30532 @MarioNawfal @EricLDaugh Almost an exact word for word quote of the Savior....!?

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@GovCox Thank you for your leadership and to all those taking a stand for Great Salt Lake and the future of Utah!

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@phil_lyman @GovCox @charliekirk11 Phil, boy you are really into this Spencer Cox guy! Digging up old pictures of him from 7 years ago gives creeper vibes. You're maybe coming on a little too strong. Maybe find some other hobbies, play hard to get, ya know?

Using phrases like "The Left" or "The Right" to describe broad intellectual currents is fine, even necessary. Using phrases like "The Left" or "The Right" to assign blame to millions of people as though they're a monolith acting in concert is dangerous, unserious bullshit

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@Eternal_Saints_ What a nonsensical claim

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

I'm devastated by the news of Charlie Kirk being shot at my beloved UVU. We desperately need to move away from the hyper-partisanship which has so poisoned our country and turned us against each other. The wounds in the soul of this country cannot be healed with violence.

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@LadyPNoir36 @Deseret How would that work, exactly?

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@iamshalabhkumar By what magic trick do you come up with Small manufacturers accounting for 80% of American employment!?

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@LGHendersonUtah So excited for Cox-Henderson Season 2!

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@RobertGehrke Is there a scenario where Phil actually concedes? Or will he just set up a tent on the lawn of the governor's mansion now?

[Luke Peterson @LukeoftheWest]

@utahneedshelp @gopTODD I'm sure he's deeply hurt by this world-class name calling tirade you threw at him. You forgot to call him a doo doo head, though.
