-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The lake will more than likely not exist by the time the 2034 Winter Olympics are supposed to take place in Salt Lake City. It will become Utah’s Aral Sea.
More water is diverted out of the lake for farming and mining every year, and the current governor of Utah is part of a farming family that grows alfalfa in the desert, so it’s unlikely that any law that would negatively impact his family’s business will be passed.
I wonder if Utah’s new NHL will relocate when they realize that it will become toxic to live in the Salt Lake valley in a few years. And there’s talk of an MLB team moving here, but how could they seriously make plans to put a new stadium in a dust bowl? I expect they may end up relocating the 2034 Olympics because the lake provides a significant boost to snowfall in the mountains, although I guess they could use snow makers in February to make things happen. Utahns in general are ignoring the issue, few people here take the warnings seriously. It’s fucking bleak
build the new MLB statium on top of the dried lakebed, that plus the parking lot should trap all the dust underneath. all the workers will get some brutal newly described form of silicosis, the stadium will sag & collapse, starting to release the dust in under 2 decades
