I'm doing a thread on Bluesky about the proposed data center in Iron County. #utpol https://bsky.app/profile/elforesto.coolestfamilyever.com/post/3mge2xmw3ys2q

Uh oh. Lightyear Frontier added some Factorio-style automation. I might have to revisit it. https://lightyearfrontier.com/automation-update-out-now/

@timesandseasons That would threaten the dark skies designation of Cedar Breaks, and it would be a disaster for our tourism.

For reference, 640 acres is a full square mile. This is roughly five times the size of SUU. I would guess the power demands are roughly in the 70-80MW range, and this will likely be natural gas turbines. #utpol

Everyone in Iron County is getting out their pitchforks and torches about a new data center AND POWER PLANT going out on the west side of the county. I would guess that despite being relatively far from the valley and separated by Eightmile Hills/Three Peaks, it'll be loud. #utpol

My son's HS esports Mario Kart 8 Deluxe team is going undefeated in the regular season. 🤯

I worry about anyone who would marry Clint. He will ALWAYS be thinking about Emily, not you. Don't do that to yourself. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/may-i-have-the-envelope-please-stardew-valley-will-add-clint-and-sandy-as-marriage-candidates-in-its-1-7-update/

When you catch bits and pieces of highly dysfunctional and damaged people on "reality" shows:

Everyone told Garth Green that Martin's Flat would be a bust and that had been determined in the 80s. Still, that numbskull burned $600K of taxpayer money because Paul Cozzens whispered in his ear. #utpol https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/highly-unattractive-and-economically-challenging-cedar-city-to-halt-600k-landmark-well-project/article_91b68fd6-c582-41e2-95c3-0cbafea63f5d.html

If you haven't seen Song Sung Blue, you should. The "it's about a Neil Diamond impersonator" hook doesn't properly market it at all.

Weather getting spicy in Cedar City. #utwx

Really enjoying playing SkyCards. It's like if Pokemon were powered by ADS-B flight data. You collect and level up unique aircraft, unlock new airports, and "battle" other players to see who has amassed the coolest collection. https://skycards.app/

One of my friends found out that his name was on the list of signers to repeal prop 4. The problem, though, is that he didn't sign that. Check your name, make sure these sleezeballs aren't doing the same to you. #utpol https://vote.utah.gov/repeal-of-the-independent-redistricting-commission-and-standards-act-direct-initiative-list-of-signers/

Old World is a great take on Civilization-style 4X games. The addition of family management a la Crusader Kings and limiting the scope to the classical age makes for a new but accessible experience, especially with the win conditions being far more geared towards diplomacy and away from warfare.

Tell one little joke about RFK Jr. and Facebook goes bananas with profile restrictions.

Many people forget (or didn't know) that Square did PC releases of Final Fantasy VII and VIII contemporaneous with the PlayStation ones. Yes, back in 1998 and 2000.

Paul Cozzens clowning himself by revealing he has no idea that Puerto Ricans are US citizens. #utpol https://www.reddit.com/r/cedarcity/comments/1r0qe44/iron_county_commissioner_doesnt_know_puerto_rico/
