Apparently today is “Pat Bagley Day” in Salt Lake City. Nice to see him recognized, he does some very good work #PatBagley #cartoon #slc #saltLake
The Salt Lake Buddhist Temple cancelled services yesterday so they could participate in Pride. Here's the crew assembled before the march.

Boy, Salt Lake City did not have a great weekend.

Hey some absolute hero made this map of a ton of murals/public art in the #SLC area: https://goo.gl/maps/6FfCafCtKBvchxfX9
Some information now available about what happened at the #SLC #NoKings protest:

Yep, sure looking like the shooting at the #SLC #Utah #NoKings march was a self-anointed "good guy with a gun" shooting at another self-anointed "good guy with a gun" and killing an innocent person in the process.

More guns do not make us safer.
Remember: there are no accidental shootings.
Back in SLC and needed to find some indoor activities before medical appointments. Many museums are closed on Mondays. So we went to a fine art antique gallery... The collection is spectacular. Apparently the building used to be a church. Due to the sheer volume, it was rather overwhelming. Also the price tags... The place is called Anthony's Fine Art.

Today was another interesting day in SLC. Appointments at Huntsman, lots of art appreciation in their corridors while we wait for the next. Then off to do some touristy things; first was Cathedral of the Madeleine. Being atheists, we were a bit worried that we might burst into flames upon entering. We didn't. Phewy. I really don't remember when was the last time we walked into a church. Thanks @TywyllSeren for the suggestions! #SLC 1/🧵
#SLC has gotten big enough that many festivals now exist in two forms: the big one and the good one. Eg. Beerfest and its better sibling collabfest. Or Utah Pride and the better SLC Pride
Very cool things happening in #SLC! My friend Roger is beginning a workshop about voice training, geared towards trans people, in collaboration with the Utah Pride Center. I'm very excited for tomorrow!

Seven of the 11 warehouses ICE bought to store human beings as if they were nothing more than inventory (including the one in the "inland port" in #SLC) are being canceled. Sometimes, we do win against the barbarity.
https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/06/18/ice-spent-700-million-7-warehouses/
This is only a start, we still need to:
* Get the other four canceled
* Shut down the other concentration camps, such as the ones being run in Texas and Florida
* Abolish ICE
* Burn our current immigration system to the ground and use its ashes to fertilize a humane way of welcoming new neighbors
But sometimes, we do win, and we get to celebrate that.
There's a lot of stuff going around about datacenters, so I decided to do a quick tour yesterday of some of the datacenters in the Salt Lake Valley. Some are indeed quite large, but there are a bunch of smaller ones too - and they are not always where you think!
All of these are publicly known, and you can find them (and ones in your own area) at https://www.datacentermap.com/ .
Let's start with a datacenter that I go by all the time! It's across the street from my grocery store in downtown #SLC. It's listed as a colocation facility; datacenters are famously secretive about who their tenants are, but we can guess that it probably hosts servers belonging to nearby businesses, especially ones that want their storage, etc. nearby, but don't want to have to maintain a secure, cooled room. Given the number of banks that have headquarters nearby, I'd bet at least some of them are customers.
This is a fairly little guy, with apparently 16k square feet of floorspace and 1.6MW of power.
