That is quite a “colorful” map I ain’t eatin’ no raw lettuce!

You are being LIED to. National Monuments do not restrict access to public lands. You can read past monument proclamations, take a hike (or drive, or camping trip) to find out for yourself, or ask locals who spend time in Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments everyday.

Firing all the epidemiologists wouldn’t get rid of foodborne illnesses; it would just stop us from knowing about them.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

With the stroke of a pen, this is no longer protected land. 🥲 What are we doing? This isn't right.

Sad and true

Get the damn bikes off the infield! - groundskeepers everywhere

Spent a significant chunk of time this morning trying to put into words how I woke up feeling today... Let's just say that I'm disappointed (again), and a little sad (again)... This was taken while driving through The Valley Of The Gods in Utah's Bears Ears National Monument.

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history. Agents' leading cause of death? Covid-19.

I believe that today’s World Cup match is the real final. I think whoever wins today will win on Sunday.

😔 Used to go there with my grandparents on coastal trips in the 1960s. I swear not a damn thing is sacred anymore - even man made crap...

This is no longer protected land. 🥲

This rule completely nullifies the ESA. During the public comment period, they received several hundred thousand comments with nearly all decrying the rule and begging it not be implemented, yet trump did it anyway. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

You ever have a relationship that ends and you grieve the loss but, given time, feels like a great weight has been lifted from you?

New Rolling Stones album? It’s good you say? GEEZER ROCK RULES!

Been doing a little calculating using the Ballpark app check in feature. Since 2018 I have seen Shohei Ohtani play in person 45 times. He has hit 16 home runs. I saw him hit his 2nd and 300th. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am.

Had a root canal today. The procedure went so well and I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep in the dentist’s chair. The cost was the only thing that hurt.

Every page of this next book will be splashed with muddy water and dusted with sand. It’s a restless time in the arena of Colorado River watershed (mis)management & I’m doing my best to keep up with the river. 🤎🌀 #riverside #coloradoriver #officevibes

As a 9 year old in 1966 watching the Vulture was sheer pleasure. His long and storied career was really something…. He led a full life… RIP

Saw him as a kid in LA at a parking lot restaurant in a Lincoln convertible with two beautiful women. I was maybe 10? Let’s say it left an impression.

Out here tonight - and just about priced out. It’s cheaper to fly to Midwest, rent a room, and then watch the Dodgers than to drive 37 miles to Dodger Stadium, park and have half way decent seats. You may think that’s a wild exaggeration but, friends, it is not.

The Blue Jays didn't strike out a lot in 2024 and their offense was bad. Then they didn't strike out a lot in 2025 and their offense was good. Now they're not striking out a lot in 2026 and their offense is bad. Strikeouts rarely correlate to success for an offense as much as people want them to.
