The Salt Lake Tribune will drop its paywall next year, CEO tells donors at NewsMakers gala After years of requiring people to pay for online news content, The Tribune announced an upcoming change during its 2025 annual NewsMakers Gala.

The Salt Lake Tribune, which went from for-profit to non-profit 6 years ago, is about to drop its paywall. "The Tribune cannot afford to limit who has access to independent and trusted news."

Meanwhile, it just launched a new newspaper in southern Utah.

"When they try to describe this situation as 'war-torn,' it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit."

Imagine George W Bush causing
5k dead US soldiers
1 million dead Iraqis
an occupation w/no WMDs
a global recession
Wall St meltdown
derivatives & housing market crash
blow off a hurricane
crash economy while enriching millionaires...

...and he's still not the worst POTUS of the 21st Century.

Horrible slide but PCA had three hits and was 4-4 on base. He's not why Cubs lost.

Yes, jets can be cool but many are flying waaay too low.

No one has to tell fans at Wrigley to "make some noise".

From @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social's Cup of Coffee newsletter this morning, the glorious dismantling of fascist chuds by the Durham Bulls social media. Fuck yeah, Durham. This is the way.

I've learned not to give up on this team.

I’d like to say “we’re better than this.” But the truth is that this dark and hateful strain of nativism and bigotry has always pulsed through the body politic of America. Now, however, it’s’ being activated and applauded from a lawless White House.

So that's what it was like to watch Mantle and Mays in their prime.

I don’t want to see the “Bluesky bubble” burst by more conservative takes. I want to see people talking about music, hobbies, weird fascinations, dumb jokes, and big ideas.

That’s what Twitter was before Elon politicized it. We get that back by not letting the politics of our day to day define it.

Does someone catching the ball in a beer cup count?

My blueberry beef: flavorless, jumbo, mushy ones with pea-like consistency. No matter where I shop, that's about all I find.

Lot of jackwagons in the comments here. Don't judge a book by its cover. Any true Midwesterner will tell you the Maid-Rite is good eating.

Fever controlled that game throughout the second half.

Only to the deserving:
Elmer Fudd, who's trying to kill him.
Marvin, who's trying to blow up the world.
Daffy, harmless teasing of a sociopath.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Has Become a Boring, Safe Defender—Which is Great News That Pete Crow-Armstrong is perhaps the best defender in baseball should be a shock to no one. We knew that in his years as a prospect. The glove was going to play at a high level, no matter what. Concerns about the bat? Sure. But elite sprint speed and top-tier defensive instincts (to say nothing o...

Imagine 'owning' a team, getting no share of the profits and having no say in how it's run. But that green and gold certificate looks good on the wall I guess.

Love the Cubs' sense of urgency this season.

A win probability chart reflecting the wild Cubs v. D-Backs game that saw the teams score 21 runs in an inning and a half late.

I love this sport so much

Padres 3-3 vs Cubs
12-1 vs everybody else

It’s Jackie Robinson Day. @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social calling out MLB’s blatant hypocrisy is what I needed to start this morning off.

Looks like I'll be going to bed soon. #Cubs

I'm getting '84 flashbacks.

I don't blame them for bundling up but it always looks like the best cold weather performers wear less, not more.
