And of course it was in the high 50’s today in Salt Lake.
Although made more difficult by the record-breaking lack of snow in Utah, hundreds gathered to watch skiers do intricate flips and tricks while being pulled down snow-covered streets by horses.

What do you know. @realsaltlake.com posted live updates for their game today on the bad bird site, but didn’t even think about posting here. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Gozo scored, but tied Orange County 1-1. No idea who played or anything.

Thanks to the pods for putting them on the insta.

I submitted my online passport renewal on Sunday. Didn’t pay any expedited fees. New passport in hand on Saturday. How is that even possible in today’s government?!?
Realized my passport is under a year from expiring… and here I am stressed about not having a valid passport during the 4-6 week renewal process. Not because I have travel planned, but because what if we need to escape??

Real Salt Lake loaned former Union academy forward prospect Diego Rocío to Club América for the year.

A big step up for him, and I wonder how it will tip his balance betwen the U.S. and Mexican youth national teams.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I wish I paid for a subscription to the Post, just so I could cancel it today.
The Washington Post ran a full-page letter to subscribers in today's print edition from exec editor Matt Murray stating that it is committed to sports and local coverage after laying off the vast majority of the staff on those desks

A BEAUTIFUL landscape conversion presented in an appropriations committee by Utah Water Ways (the state's water conservation education program).

They announced plans to re-landscape the Governor's mansion in 2026. #utpol #Utah

Downhill skiers legs are so strong, they don’t even need ACL’s.

Gold incoming.
Lindsey Vonn is back in the gym 👀

A reminder that she tore her ACL on January 30, 2026.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

With the assumed #RSL formation shift and incoming players, I’d be interested to see what happens to my, and fan favorite, Katranis. Feels like him and Junqua are the odd men out.
Wrote a bit on some of the biggest tactical questions I'm pondering ahead of the 2026 MLS season. Some are immediate, but for St. Louis it feels like there's finally a long-term, far-reaching plan in place.

They're sitting on a gold mine and are finally gonna dig.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off.

Another case of the legislature listening to the UT GOP’s rabid MAGA caucus delegates and not their actual voters because the voters I’m meeting, regardless of party, want vote by mail. I’ve already been campaigning on this and I absolutely will bring up this bill as I meet people in the district.
Vote-by-mail without the mail.

A new bill guts Utah's universal vote-by-mail system. Ballots would still arrive in the mail, but most voters would be forced to return them in person and show ID.

The legislation also tightens ID requirements.

If I had the money Bazos has, I’d hire all the people from the Post, start my own news outlet, and provide it all for free.

I’d also partner with the Whitecaps to build a stadium for them.

Maybe also buy all the cable news companies and make them only report on news. No opinion and no bias.

I am part of the mass layoffs at the Washington Post.

I am sad and angry. We all want to keep doing the work.

But for now I want to document a reality of being in journalism today.

When we previewed RSL's 2026 season, Scott and Alex spoke about the offensive shape, and if Diego Luna plays as a winger or as a 10.
