This is your periodic reminder that even if you think you don't need an editor, you do.

I was nervous talking to a religiously affiliated publication about pornography. I thought they might be looking for a gotcha quote. But @grahamtoday was very fair-minded about a complicated topic that deserves more attention and nuance.

The Ridglan beagles are all over the news, but how did commercially bred beagles even wind up in laboratories? I am truly obsessed by this story, which has a surprising tie to Utah deseret.com/politics/2026/…

@BrambleJim @mikekofoed @Deseret @hinckleyinst @iteptweets No argument from me on that.

@grahamtoday @mikekofoed @Deseret @hinckleyinst @iteptweets Kofoed is among the brightest minds among economists these days.

@Deseret and @hinckleyinst asked people about their tax refunds: Did the Trump administration deliver? Thanks to @mikekofoed and Steve Wamhoff of @iteptweets for analysis deseret.com/politics/2026/…

Finally broke down and set up a @Chewy account, and it gives me options under "Farm Animals" to check that I have a bear or a bison but not a donkey. 🤔

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

When you're already miserable enough from the polar vortex and your mom makes you wear ear warmers and leg warmers made out of old tights.

New England right now, in every way.

@spinzo Happened to me a few weeks ago …. A neighbor showed up and shoveled my driveway. At first I was insulted- and then not. ☃️

The hardest part of this storm is realizing that I'm now the old neighbor who the young fellows should be helping to shovel out.

Many thanks to @Riley_Gaines_ and @Outkick for giving @Deseret readers a glimpse of her extraordinary, ordinary world during the holidays. Baby Margot is precious, as advertised. deseret.com/politics/2025/…

Give @eva_terry02 a follow. Top-notch journalist. And incredibly resilient reporting during the 24 hours after she witnessed Charlie Kirk's assassination in person. So proud of our @Deseret team for leading the nation in nuanced coverage.

Just heartbreaking...

Charlie Kirk, last week: "You have to try to point them towards ultimate purposes and towards getting back to the church, getting back to faith, getting married, having children...I'm trying to paint a picture of virtue of lifting people up, not just staying angry."
