Is it a town square if some people are inciting insurrection? https://t.co/zYpyqI2kn8

No protected lands are safe in Utah, especially Bears Ears. This from former County Commissioner Diné leader Mark Maryboy: “The most recent example is the plan to build a 460-foot telecommunications tower in the heart of the Bears Ears National Monument. https://t.co/8LkTtNxN65

Shocking. @elonmusk fired 80% of his staff and now getting hacked. I thought he hired robots to monitor that stuff.

Trump is back on Twitter. He’s running for president. He tried to overthrow our democracy. Do you want to be interacting on a network that aids him in any way?

[Writers on the Range (WOTR) @WritersRange]

Threads .... yay! Imagine a regulated (somewhat) social network. @elonmusk rather than sue META why not hire your content moderation staff back?

We're receiving a lot of ChatGPT submissions.

FYI. It's obvious and boring and tedious. Every lede the same.

The real opportunity is ChatGPT Country and Western songs. This is big... Truck, heartbreak, some God, rodeo, storm coming, etc. "write song"

"The Wilderness Act also prohibits 'installations,' but to get around this, a group called the @accessfund has persuaded friends in Congress to introduce a bill that would, in effect, amend the Wilderness Act." – Dana Johnson, Wilderness Watch

@accessfund interim director Erik Murdock posted this defamatory comment publicly on our website about me. I urge the board of The Access Fund to use facts rather than tired terms like propaganda and lies to argue their point. Their biggest sponsors: @REI @BlackDiamond

@totahsunrise @Sammy_Roth Typically, when a utility loses dispatchable sources of energy they either build dispatchable or contract with a supplier. Farmington did neither. That's how they burned almost $100 million. Wishing for SJ to stay open was a false choice.

Farmington, New Mexico has much clearer skies as coal plants shut down -- but not much of a plan to move beyond fossil fuels to cleaner energy: https://t.co/dPiW3dzZ2F via @WritersRange

@OutdoorsLiz Good find Liz. This sentence says it all.."those who are in favor of addressing climate change and embracing renewables are often against such projects in their backyard."

Public access to waterways in New Mexico. https://t.co/N0LxInaqGd

"These days, real estate prices in Durango, as in so many Western towns, have outrun most workers’ ability to buy or even rent modest digs." https://t.co/LPBjzZiW6p

What do you love best about public lands?

[Writers on the Range (WOTR) @WritersRange]

@OutdoorsLiz “Predatory animal” means coyote, jackrabbit, porcupine,
raccoon, red fox, skunk or stray cat. “Predatory animal” also
means gray wolf located outside the Wolf Trophy Game
Management Area." ... This means in these areas Wyoming wolf hunting is daily. https://t.co/tFZDqBXq0x

[Writers on the Range (WOTR) @WritersRange]

"But the context here points to a larger and troubling reality about the status and persecution of wolves in the West. They are killed every day during trophy-hunting seasons in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming." https://t.co/VOCoubqpOv
