So. 👏 Much. 👏 Rain. 👏 The strong El Niño has really shown #Utah what it can do this month. www.kuer.org/science-envi...

I wasn’t expecting CSU’s defense to show up. Sad Diego’s didn’t show either. Rams win 56-49.

Oh, are these the super dogs Mr. Burns was going to sic on us? The dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you? Homer tried to warn us.

Current status: Trying not to think about how many times a day I affirm I'm human. Beep boop.

DOJ monitors aren't out of the ordinary, but there's been a lot of tension between Utah elex officials (esp. LG Henderson) and the Trump admin.

I looked on Kalshi and this was not an outcome you could have placed a bet on.

PSA: Save your prayers till tomorrow. Notre Dame is playing BYU today, so god is busy. According to a spox, the almighty said "hold my calls."

I love college football stories like this. Also, that ending was bzonkers

"We have built a world in which being alone has never been easier, more comfortable, or more fun. And then we wonder why everybody stopped coming over."

This whole data center episode was a colossal muck-up and exploded spectacularly in the faces of some of Utah's biggest politicos. Some of the backpedalling was so fast and furious, capturing that alone could have powered a data center. Read this 👇

The stuff I've read about this year's growing season has been dour, but this is a interesting tidbit (i'mma spicy character).

“I’m not quite sure how I’ll be able to finish morning and afternoon sessions,” one judge said. www.kuer.org/politics-gov...

NEW: ProPublica’s reporting reveals for the first time the extent of the White House’s role in trying to dictate how mail-in ballots are processed, spurring behind-the-scenes drama that played out for nearly a year.

"The numbers are somewhere between shitabulous and craptastic" is quite the assessment. I would love to see an actual scale adopted along these lines.

No, you're not going to need a VPN for your VPN. The judge noted that Utah's law was pretty vague and asked sites to do unfeasible things that would rope in out-of-state places.

Reflexively, a lot of people say ag is the problem child when we talk about #water in Utah, especially Great Salt Lake — *but*... it's a complex stew that also ropes in lawns, more people & the shifting climate.

It's me, hi, I'm the problem.

Right now: BYU @ CSU. Goooooo Rams

Right now: Liz Phair. Denver.

Zomg. We’re rushing the field after dispatching Wyoming 35-13. Ha. Go Rams

I think our job is to carry on her kindness, acceptance, and generosity and not to let it fade. In fairness, without her, I don’t know whether to wind my butt or scratch my watch.

The year is 2026. You have just woken from a 15-year coma. No one is in your room, but someone left a copy of the Financial Times next to your bed. You open it up and read this headline. You buzz the nurses to see if they can restart your coma.

Pearl clutching masses: "Won't somebody think of the children?" Utah leaders: 👋, right here. Step 3: *ka-ching* But seriously, this has been a big bugaboo that the governor specifically has harped on. Utah is spiking the football today.

First Dolly, now this. c'mon...

The timeline we live in is a lot less glamorous now. 😢

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa there. Did anybody check w/ Carl Box? We've been through this...

White Stripes are still heavy rotation for me. Just constantly blown away by their disocgraphy — esp the tracks between the hits.

Just in: Court docs confirm that Homeland and ICE intend to ditch their Salt Lake City warehouse. by @macylip.bsky.social

Oh man. 😢 I was there for the ZZ Top show that closed down Denver's McNichols Arena (RIP Big Mac). Still have the ticket stub. ZZ Top was also the 1st rock band to play Big Mac back in '75.

I am a (nuclear) banana. Or maybe not.

Energy Fuels, BTW, is the Colorado-based company that operates the White Mesa uranium mill in SW Utah.

The thing is, we're never truly alone. There are faceless behemoths who intimately know us. *WILD*

I'm dragging today and wish I could summon the focus that this guy is pouring into ropin' this steer dummy. ( 📷 & 📰 @davidcondos.bsky.social ) www.kuer.org/science-envi...

Kalshi fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against Utah over gambling."

Oh, man. 😬 Colorado peaches are such a huge nostalgic part of my childhood. You see, most of my family are all Kansans, so when my folks landed in Colorado we became the beachhead for aunts and uncles making the pilgrimage west for the best peaches in the land.

Can confirm. ‘Tis smoky here in SLC

The vibes today are screaming Friday news dump...
