Google's genius AI just helpfully suggested to me that one way to share contact info is "verbally sharing your details." Wow, thanks, Google; what would I do without you?

See "Life of Chuck." Just amazing. Extraordinary.

Hey look! We found the people persecuting Christians! www.facebook.com/matthew.mika...

New band name up for grabs: "Blowing Bubba."

Housing is too expensive because local NIMBY politicians clamp down on the production and use of housing. Blaming immigrants for the problem is a cowardly bigoted lie.

Rebrand: White Heritage Foundation.

I've had a hell of a time getting a new pair of glasses that works for me. But I have to say Zenni online has pretty good glasses and is pretty easy to work with, and very economical. (I have no financial interest here.)

Langford's Lede: "A NYC man featured in an upcoming Netflix series will spend five years in a Colorado prison for stabbing the boyfriend of a “Bachelor in Paradise” star in a bar fight that started when the New York man’s girlfriend licked the reality star’s face." www.denverpost.com/2025/11/12/b...

It was always a lie that the focus would be deporting the worst of the worst. To get Dreamer/DACA status basically meant you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout. And it's silly because many of these people got educated here since 2012 and now we're losing that talent and skill. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Some CO news: George Sparks is retiring from the role of CEO and President of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (via museum email). "I know the time is right to pass the torch.... The Board of Trustees will conduct a national search early next year."

Did History Colorado censor an artist by rejecting a submission that substantially varied from the original proposal? Here I argue that it did not: completecolorado.com/2025/11/11/c...

It's astonishing to think that Nixon, as bad as he was, was not nearly as bad as Trump.

Look, I was as critical of Obamacare as anyone. But the solution is NOT to just blow up the current system, but to create better alternatives and build in transition plans.

"Utter wipeout" for Colorado Republicans. rosskaminsky.substack.com/p/wipeout Here's an idea: Maybe Republicans could stop trying to be the craziest people in the room and focus on competent governance.

I take the message from voters NOT as "we want hard-left government" but "we want no bullshit from government."

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics

Food lines were 2X normal this morning at the Weld Food Bank, which told me 2/3rds of their visitors said they were impacted by the SNAP food benefit freeze. Our microgiving campaign has raised $50,000 for Weld Food Bank so far. Even $5 helps: weldfoodbank.org/wordofthanks/

There's something called the "Denver Horror Collective." denverhorror.com/terror-at-52...

Warning: I "upgraded" a Mac from Sequoia to Tahoe and that broke the DVD drive. (It played but poorly.) I had to reinstall Sequoia to fix the problem. Who knows what other problems there are with the "new and improved" OS.

Protesters swarmed an ICE facility in Durango, CO demanding two children detained with their father be released to their mother. Durango Police say they also offered to help reunite the kids with their mother. They were unsuccessful.

Dinosaur Ridge is in a profound state of disrepair, with main tracks literally eroding away on an annual basis. The trackway needs a roofed structure with good exterior drainage. But the reno. project has been mired in bureaucracy. Please contact your CO and Jeffco officials. My recent photos:

I'm inclined to agree...

Denver used to have a Black baseball team called the White Elephants. (From DMNS.)

Really fun little brewery in Five Points (Denver).

In a novel you couldn't get away with naming a founder of AI alt-man.

My wife and I are talking about pinching pennies to help fund Food Bank of the Rockies; meanwhile, we're also helping pay for the completely unnecessary $300M renovation of the East Wing. (P.S. The U.S. also is in debt $38 trillion.)

"Creative destruction" is not remotely the same as "destruction for destruction's sake."

I confess the new Predator film looks fun.

Had dinner plans so I shut off the Broncos game at about the 7 minute mark convinced the Broncos had almost no chance. That was an exciting half-period of football for which I watched highlights.

Another great photo of the "No Kings" protest at the Denver capitol. coloradonewsline.com/2025/10/18/t...

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics
