@palafo I don’t remember what grade I was in, but the word was “claque.” 👏Decades later, I’m bitter and refuse to use the word when I need to describe a group hired to applaud a speaker or performance.

ICYMI, exclusive reporting by me + @bykevinj reveals the FBI helped the ruler of a U.S. ally in the Middle East capture his runaway daughter. She was fleeing abuse. This snapshot version free to read: https://t.co/03zdxCIcSa. In-depth (subscribe!): https://t.co/YT36LHPYVG + print

I dont know @AP , this story sounds awfully familiar to me. I think it would’ve been easier to just share mine. I mean, you do at least give The Arizona Republic credit in there. Anyway, read the original story here: https://t.co/Dt8VYLccO4

I love these mountains. Snow in May? Not so much.

[John S. @justaguyinutah]

@AnnahBackstrom This is the second paczki mention I’ve seen in two days. I’ve never had it, but it looks like something I need to try.

“The white stuff” is now “the brown stuff.” 😬 #snow #pollution

[NWS Salt Lake City @NWSSaltLakeCity]

We've had reports of brownish snow across the SL valley. Usually caused by pollutants picked up by the snow as it falls. In this case possibly also dirt kicked up in the air by the strong winds to our W and NW and transported here. #utwx

I can’t stop thinking about the woman at the grocery store who was told she couldn’t buy 25 boxes of Cap’N Crunch at once.

FROM OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PARTNERS - RUMORS THAT NEED TO GO AWAY:

Myth: Officials are predicting a larger earthquake in the next 30 minutes.

Fact: Earthquakes cannot be predicted. However, we are 95 percent certain that the earthquake this morning was the main quake.

“Guess what the spadea-covered CP is about” is a good brain teaser to begin your day. Right or wrong, it’s The Arizona Republic, so you know you won’t be disappointed. #HideTheCenterpiece #racksales

@AnnahBackstrom @RZilbermints Are you going to stop by Tysons?

[Melissa Galbraith @IFindTypos]

It was 80 degrees in Phoenix yesterday. 🥶

This might be the best lede I’ve ever read on an obituary: “They asked Katherine Johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them.”

Well done.

When discussing issues of suicide, please stop using the phrase "It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Anyone living with severe depression can tell you it's anything but temporary.
