This is from that June 2020 “concert,” aka covid protest, in Iron County. I’ve been waiting for people to figure out who Guy Fieri really is.

Podcasts are meant to entertain. So if you’re the winner of the Ambie for Best Entertainment Podcast, you must be pretty good. Hats off to @KindaHagi and @WonderyMedia for Scamfluencers.

“I was never ready for this, and I knew that. I tried telling people, and they didn’t listen.” Giselle, who goes by G, was 17 years old and 11 weeks pregnant. As a minor, her access to an abortion was governed by Texas’s “parental involvement” law.

"It felt as if a rope was running from the Antarctic ice in front of the ship to the coastal waterways of Louisiana so far away — it felt like what we've done, as humans, to accelerate climate change has pulled that rope taught."

Today is my last day as @KUER’s southern Utah and environmental reporter. I’ve so enjoyed the last 2+ years! I don’t really have words to describe it all, so here are some of my fav pics of the desert I loved reporting in (plus me doing radio stuff irl).
Thank you to the amazing team — including those who have already left the station. Public radio is such a special thing and you all have shown me that. If you ever need someone to talk about RHOSLC, I’m ready.
Also I’m v excited to see what @ElleCNews does now with this beat!
It was fun doing a park audiopostcard for one of my last stories! You can listen to me out of breath at Coral Pink Sand Dunes: kuer.org/sports-recreation/2…
Plus @kristinecweller and @ivana__martinez’s postcards take you back in time: kuer.org/arts-culture-entert…

Today @UDOTTRAFFIC picked a gondola to address Little Cottonwood Canyon traffic probs, but it's going to take years to actually happen.
In the meantime, the canyon will get an enhanced bus system & other improvements.
Lots of feelings about the gondola!

Opponents say it's a huge burden (estimated at $550 million) for the public, especially since it'll mainly serve private resorts. Plus they say it won't actually fix the traffic probs.
But the phased plans could be a silver lining, "Now it's in our hands to change our behavior.”
The GM of @AltaSkiArea said they'll fund where gondola lands, but didn't say they'd help w/ overall project.
As for the criticism it's only for resorts?
"It's really a service for the public ... It's no different than someone saying, I want to use Trax to go to the Jazz game."

How big of a concern is it? @SLCo_Council members Dea Theodore and Richard Snelgrove feel it’s major, but they seem to be the only ones. buff.ly/3QUnRiW

The state of Utah is suing the Biden administration over its restoration of the original boundaries of two large national monuments — Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante.
Utah officials say Biden overstepped his authority. n.pr/3dWKXXG
It's official: Utah leaders have filed a lawsuit against
@POTUS and @Interior over National Monument boundaries.

When Biden reversed Trump's cuts to the monuments last year, Utah leaders signaled this was their plan: kuer.org/health-science-envi…
Earlier this year the Legislature approved a land exchange in Bears Ears. At the time, a state official said this wouldn't impact the state's pursuit of a lawsuit. But now that it's been filed, does this mean anything for the swap? If you know, lmk!
