This isn’t about protecting kids. It’s about protecting drivers from having to think about kids.

Get outside kids, enjoy the fresh air with your friends!

One of the things I’m thankful for is the effort Salt Lake City has made over the last 150 years to protect the watershed and keep public lands public.

Some of the greatest hits by the Utah GOP, all in one article:
1. Baseless fearmongering about Utah turning into California
2. A disdain for voters being able to choose for themselves.

Everyone here feels the same.
My professional recommendation is to shoot that font into the sun immediately.
I’m very sorry to announce this to the rest of the country & the world, but a transitional logo has been chosen for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics & this is it. Why does it say Utah? We don’t know. Why is the font illegible? Yet another mystery. Did they go ugly on purpose? Again, no idea.

A thread on Rad power bikes and their batteries.
I am skeptical of the CPSC's timing. These batteries have been on the market for years.
Of course the Trump government wants you to stop using your E-Bike.

Up to 340 yards now. Utah definitely not prepared to play today.
Nearly 200 yards on the ground for KS, are they playing their best game of the year?
Too many missed tackles for Utah, time to step up.

Utah Legislature already has 31 bills related to elections, referenda, signature gathering, etc. going to be rough session for those that support government of, by, and for the people.

This response is perfect.
After a generally positive response to the city's proposed changes, Mendenhall gave a blunt response to the committee when asked if she had any parting thoughts: "We don't see the need for future legislation"

Pushed to December and at least it is currently snowing, but being at about 20% of normal right now is not good.
I don’t think Alta is going to open in 11 days. Or by Thanksgiving.

Utah, we need to have a conversation. Give em the Byrd!
That was a bad read by Dampier. Got to trust that end to seal the end and force him inside, Bray would have had a big gain.

Are your adult kids still living at home? In Utah, even the governor had 2 ‘boomerang back into our basement.’
From Salt Lake City to Delta, Utah’s housing crisis is pushing more and more families to share homes. Even two of Gov. Spencer Cox’s kids moved back into the basement.

the first naval officers to get married. Stalwarts of the Utah Democratic Party. She was awarded the lifetime achievement award by the Utah Democrat Party,served for 50 years in the Utah Democratic Women’s Club and the Utah League of Women Voters. They would be FIRED UP today. Also my grandparents.

I can usually get by with a thin base layer for my legs, windbreaker shell pant, a puffy under a thin windbreaker jacket, winter boots, mittens, and my ski helmet with clear goggles. If it’s less than 20F I’ll just throw my ski pants over my work pants. Commute via ebike.
In honor of my first <30ºF bike commute of the season, let's talk about how to stay warm in the 20s, 10s, and even 0s.
For years I biked for transit in Boston 9 months a year, pausing in winter – but one year I decided to just keep going. So can you!
Here are some tips 👇🏻, please share yours too!

SLC is 16th on this listed posted in this thread with rents 6%. Build more supply to exceed demand, it lowers the price on older apartments.
Filtering in the housing market is real. Build lots of 'luxury' apartments and the older apartments mysteriously start getting cheaper.
