It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
Here’s an idea: how about we change the legislation so Utahns, who live in the 2nd driest state, can’t see the calendars of elected officials. Then said officials make a sneaky & rushed deal to build a hyper scale data center near the drying up Great Salt Lake. Or we can pray🤦♀️.
I first reported on this pattern in 2023. As MIDA is at the center of debate over a proposed data center, I dug back in:
Companies with business in front of the authority — led by Senate President Stuart Adams — have given huge sums to PACs he controls. https://t.co/cScRSPcCbo
Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schultz bought 640 acres of land near the proposed Box Elder data center on January 3, 2025. What a coincidence!
A politician who had actual ethics and integrity would have disclosed this.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him out👇🏽

Join us in calling for transparency and accountability in our state government, and asking for the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate President Adams.

But something about their arrival seems to have scrambled a theology that looked perfectly clear when our compassion was headed the other way, on its way out of the country.

Maybe it's the direction of the travel or the loss of control. Maybe mercy feels easier when we get to be in charge of the itinerary and the passenger list.
While reporting on the aftermath of a contentious data center project in Box Elder County, an ABC4 Reporter was approached by a sitting Utah state senator, turning a routine newsgathering effort into a physical confrontation.

9 - 11 months!? To investigate seashells? Did the witnesses all clam up? Does no-one have a conch-ience? They really should have flexed their mussels and taken a few scal(op)s. But I guess we just have to take it on the (ur)chin, that the director is a knobbed whelk.
(Sorry)
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁
Hey @SenJohnCurtis, are you still glad you voted to let Donald Trump blow Iran and its 90 Million people back into the Stone Age?
You're awfully quiet for a guy who could still do something about it.
So, let me get this straight.
Trump is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and doesn't need help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims he already destroyed last year.
