I hope you will take a few minutes to listen to my inaugural address. It’s about the secret to Utah’s success and some special people you should know. If nothing else, you can make fun of mine and Abby’s amazing Jr. Prom photo 😬😂.

I’ll tell you how it happens: Through a stubborn refusal to meaningfully incapacitate the subset of criminal offenders who, through their repeated criminal conduct and/or documented history of violent mental illness, establish themselves as objective risks to the public’s safety.
The full video of Iryna Zarutska's murder is so difficult to watch -- how does this happen in this country? How? This should never happen to anyone. I hate to bring politics into this -- but this video could be a game-changer for a lot of Americans when it comes to perceptions

Same in colleges. The students are using ChatGPT to write their essays, the professors use ChatGPT to grade them. The AI is talking to itself, nobody’s getting educated, and we have no idea what students actually know. The companies then don’t want to hire them.

On this day in 1850, Congress officially established the Utah Territory. That moment marked the beginning of a remarkable journey of determination, faith, and opportunity. Today, 175 years later, Utahns continue to build on that legacy.

Happy 101st birthday to our friend, prophet and peacemaker. We are so blessed to have your love and example.
Living to 101 is a privilege I never anticipated. I was pleased to be able to share a few thoughts in a global publication about what I have learned and observed during this time. After more than a century of life and decades of studying both the human body and the human soul,

Today's pod stuck with me more than any I've done in a while. It's about what the neurologist and author Suzanne O'Sullivan calls THE AGE OF DIAGNOSIS. Since the 1990s, rates of autism, ADHD, bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, and depression have skyrocketed. Some of this is surely about
New pod: THE AGE OF DIAGNOSIS Suzanne O’Sullivan, neurologist and author, says the west's obsession with medical labels is pathologizing normal symptoms, changing our experience of life and the body for the worse, and making us sicker. Adored this one. https://t.co/hvBhW6fUoE

There's no doubt that people can have a fulfilling single life. But we are social creatures. Deemphasizing getting married/having kids to such a degree that it is below "being able to retire early" and "owning a home" is going to lead many people on a lonely path & that's bad.

The fact that Banksy left the poster the protester is carrying blank is hugely powerful. Could be a Union Jack to some, or a Palestine flag to others. The idea that the legal system is punishing him should concern all citizens, regardless of his cause.
