Some personal news. Next Wednesday will be my last day at The Salt Lake Tribune. It's been an honor and seeing the impact of the journalism has been a daily thrill. The work of The Tribune is critical for Utah and for the West and it was awesome to be a part of it.

A few years ago, I wanted Silicon Slopes to pay off every outstanding school lunch account in Utah. I was told it’s not possible because some parents might take advantage. β€œSo what?” I replied. This heartbreaking story is about much more than that, but the part where he was eating food out of trash cans struck a chord. No child in Utah should be denied lunch due to an outstanding or nonexistent account balance. I’m not asking the government to fund it. Just let Utahns pay for it themselves. I’m confident enough money could be raised in 48 hours to solve this problem forever.
A school cafeteria worker in West Haven said she and other workers saw some disturbing signs before Gavin Peterson died of severe malnutrition earlier this month. ksl.com/article/51077343/the…

Tomorrow, the 2024 Olympics will start. 140 athletes will represent Ukraine. 487 Ukrainian athletes will never again be able to compete - they died since the start of the full-scale invasion. Over 4,000 more Ukrainian athletes are defending Ukraine today. πŸ“Ή: Suspilne

It'd be cool if this turned into a website for posting daily affirmations or something.

I've covered 20 years of paroxysms of public American violence. The search for meaning in the motives of the shooter is the worst part. It give us the impression that our violence problem is caused by whatever is most pressing in misfit's worldview and hands them a microphone.

The FBI identified the man who tried to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Here's what we know so far. cbsn.ws/4bGTV3j

A deep-sea survey recently turned up >60 whale falls off the coast of LA. Beforehand, only 50 whale skeletons had been found in all the Earth’s oceans. What’s up with that?! Read all about it @hakaimagazine! (Thx to great edits by @Sarah_Gilman) hakaimagazine.com/news/more-…

We're living in the climate event push alert era. Each heatwave or extreme rain message on your phone is a distance marker as we head into unprecedented conditions. I have this strange compulsion to take screenshots of them all. So I wrote about it: theatlantic.com/science/arch…
