I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
This was a fun one - I wrote about the teen athletes competing at the #OlympicGames starting this weekend in Paris.
When I was their age, I remember summers playing rec league soccer and hanging out at the pool, so cheers to these dedicated teen athletes.

What an incredibly well-told story, just beautiful.
42 years ago, a small hand-built boat sinking in the middle of the South China Sea sent a distress signal streaking into the night sky. Why they were there, and what happened next, is a story.
The one that gave us Lilia Vu, the Olympian.

We're 10 days out from the Olympic Games in Paris. I wrote about what Olympians from around the world are bringing with them: Yerba Mate, snacks, balms, and for the competitors heading to Tahiti, a lot more surfboards than you might expect.

T-minus 16 days until Paris 2024 and Team USA is coming in stacked! olympics.com/en/news/ledecky…

The first day of fire season kicked off yesterday here in Central Oregon, hoping for containment.
DARLENE 3 FIRE UPDATE: The fire that put up huge, ominous clouds of roiling smoke for hours is estimated at 2,415 acres this morning, as crews from around the region and state bring it to 30% containment. Winds today are expected to test those lines. ktvz.com/news/fire-alert/202…

Now under new ownership, I visited @HighCascade to catch up with the bossman @shaunwhite during his inaugural Signature Session. Shaun stayed busy #snowboarding with the campers, skateboarding at camp ... and taking some heaters in dodgeball. Good to see the champ back at it!

Insane! Can’t believe how disruptive this is going to be for everyone and every business in both sides of the pass.
The roadway at milepost 12.8 on Teton Pass has catastrophically failed and a long term closure is expected. No crews were hurt in the process, and no equipment was damaged. WYDOT is now reviewing a long term solution and repairs. #idwx #wywx @NWSRiverton
ALT This graphic shows extensive damage to WYO-22 in western Wyoming with a long term closure expected over Teton Pass until further notice.

So disappointing…
The owner of the Bend Bulletin and Redmond Spokesman announced more than two dozen layoffs company-wide Monday. It also said the printed Bulletin will no longer have separate Saturday and Sunday editions.

Honestly @macklemore’s “Hind’s Hall” is the most Rage Against The Machine song since Rage Against The Machine.

I'm on Texas Public Radio today with @DavidMartinDavi to discuss CBP's plans to blast bright-as-day lighting into 45 miles important wildlife habitat in the rural Texas borderlands.

I remember calling in on a landline to hear Doug Chabot read out the avalanche forecast through the 90s and well into the 2000s. I don't think I appreciated how fortunate we were to have the Avi Center back then. What a career! bozemandailychronicle.com/ne…
