Utah voter roll review finds no evidence of noncitizens casting a ballot, Lt. Gov. says An ongoing Utah review of 2.1 million voter registration records has found one noncitizen who registered to vote and zero examples of any noncitizens actually voting.

Utah's chief election officer, Lt Gov Deidre Henderson, has conducted a review of the state's voter rolls to identify any ineligible voters, including by running her rolls through the DHS SAVE Program. Guess how many non-citizens voted in Utah according to the review? Zero.

Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.

Ok, so I can hit Mastodon, Twitter, and Blue Sky all at once. Can add LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram if I really wanted to push it. Not bad for a free tier app. Lots more options for paid accounts though.

Lol an archaeology website had an AI write an article on the scimitar and they accidentally scraped a Dungeons and Dragons description.
