Stopped by the Air Traffic Controllers office in Salt Lake City today to drop off some cookies and thank the team for their outstanding work keeping Utah’s skies safe. Even during the shutdown, these public servants keep showing up and doing what needs to be done.

This is so wild to me, like a full third of the appeal of homeschooling is justifying weekday field trips and expensive science projects that take over the house

Statistics is hard enough for most people as it is; please stop using the phrases "type I" and "type II" errors.

Unless, of course, your goal is to confuse people - in which case, congrats - you've succeeded!

Just say "false positive" and "false negative" instead.

We want to give a special shoutout to all the election workers across the state of Utah. They work tirelessly on Election Day AND many days leading up to Election Day to make this process smooth for all voters. Thank you for your hard work. We appreciaate you more than you know!!

An underrated argument for libertarianism is that you’d experience less anxiety about elections if the state had less power

[Michael Mower @MikeLMower]

Four more years. Thanks to the solid majority of Utah voters who supported @coxforgovernor. Working together, Utah will stay Number One in the nation for so many positive reasons. 💚💛

I'm with the Governator on this one.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

it's extremely extremely annoying to me, as a "sci fi authors using robots as a standin for racism instead of actual racism is stupid" person my whole life, it looks like we are going to head into the timeline with actual robot racism

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

i have a general rule to not insult, degrade, call evil, etc., any individual publicly. It feels like unnecessary cruelty, or a lack of compassion, of decency. This rule feels so obvious and basic to me, some innocent part of me is surprised and confused when others fail it

[Todd Weiler @gopTODD]

This is just silly. The Utah Supreme Court — no the US — is the final arbiter of Utah law. There is no federal constitutional question presented by this case. #utpol

If a woman is having sex with you because she committed to doing so, and not because she organically wants to, you're not gonna be having good sex

Our schools are failing children. Some parents, mostly the rich ones, have the time and confidence to speak out about it. Then people go "oh it's a whiny privileged people problem". No. Your schools are also failing the children whose parents don't know how to speak out.

Kudos to Elon for keeping the (generally incredibly helpful) Community Notes feature alive and applying to his own account. This is a nerd's honor.

[Richard Ngo @RichardMCNgo]

Two key problems for western countries:
1. Society can’t prevent bureaucracies from adding more and more rules to everything.
2. Bureaucracies can’t prevent ideological capture. Principled people who would defend impartiality opt out of bureaucracies, leaving them to partisans.
