I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Feel like he’s breaking the 4th wall bc he realized this is kinda f’d up

Aaaaaaaaauuuuugghh

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

"A University of Utah research team's rare find in a storage closet is being called a huge, historically significant discovery after experts at the Computer History Museum verified its contents... Before this discovery, they thought this was lost." kslnewsradio.com/science-tech...

"...now, after a journey more akin to The Oregon Trail computer game, the Computer History Museum has confirmed: It's believed to be the only remaining copy of the full operating system that is the foundation for the computing we rely on today." www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

fuck outta here

Trump just now on AF1: "Don't ask me who's in charge, because I'll give you an answer and it'll be very controversial." Reporter: What does that mean? Trump: "It means we're in charge."

This was a great article by the @sltrib.com’s Paighten Harkins about the growing struggles of Utahns. A lot of cool facts, stats, and tidbits — surprised to hear that even two of Governor Cox’s children had to move back home. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

6 years ago, 1300+ of us signed a petition asking @TheOfficialACM to open up its digital library. As of today, January 1, 2026, all ACM papers are free to access by anyone! Changing big orgs is tough, but your voice matters and the rewards are great! www.change.org/p/associatio...

As of today, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library are open access. 🎉 @acm.org www.acm.org/publications...

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Remember the tape that my research group found recently? Well... "Computer History Museum software curator Al Kossow has successfully retrieved the contents of the over-half-a-century old tape found at the University of Utah last month." [Actually, in July.] www.theregister.com/2025/12/23/u...

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

We found a tape containing UNIX V4 - long believed lost - in storage at the University of Utah. Yesterday, the Computer History Museum read it! There's a raw copy of the tape up at archive.org/details/utah... , a .tar at squoze.net/UNIX/v4/ , and much more at discuss.systems/@ricci/11550...

There has been outrage as the @acm.org rolls out AI generated summaries of papers. This is doing AI exactly wrong by replacing valuable, peer-reviewed content with a possibly inaccurate summary. It's still not too late to correct it though and use AI responsibly... anil.recoil.org/notes/acm-ai...

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity. Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

"there's a new serif in town"

Did anyone ask the Ute tribe if the trademark to their name could be sold to PE?

I did a study of now many users in the atproto world (Bluesky and the broader Atmosphere) have strong control over their identities via rotation keys or other methods

Today's scene: Residential Facilities in the bike lane, PG County Health Dept in the fire lane. All within view of *two* designated service vehicle parking spots.

The Onion hits the nail on the head—again.

Timelapse video of the front parking lot outside the World’s Largest Costco in Salt Lake City, Utah. I’ve watched this video at least a dozen times and with each viewing I find a different absurdity. Just absolute chaos.

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

"The DOD Manual is clear because the law here is clear: 'Persons who have been incapacitated by . . . shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack.'"

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.
