As a resident of West Arvada I can vouch for these hurricane gusts.

AOC: “Reminder that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday and every political development that you see between now until then should be viewed with that in mind.”

NEXT on 9NEWS • Winds topped 100 mph in Boulder. • We looked at Xcel's decision to bury power lines in Superior after the Marshall Fire. • Help us bring holiday gifts to 10,000 kids in need in Colorado.

Highway 93 is CLOSED between Golden and Boulder. Just gusted to 80 mph at Rocky Flats. #COwx

85 MPH gusts, sustained 30-50 MPH winds. Make sure everything outside is tied down or it’s going to end up in Kansas

@thesociophi.bsky.social as a bartender can you confirm this is true?

In between gusts of wind outside I hear the borborygmi of my intestines churning about.

My teen sons, during this forced power outage, are being forced to endure each other’s company without phones or other electronics devices. I offered to each of them the options of board games or books but no takers.

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

I do not want your AI slop I do not want it in my mop I do not want it in my house I do not want it in my mouse I do not like brain-rotting AI spam I do not want it, Sam Alt-man

UPDATE: in September, Luigi's bogus terrorism charges were dropped and he was cleared off all terroristic allegations. Today, the judge ruled the interrogation of Luigi Mangione inadmissible due to failure of police to Mirandize him and Luigi's repeated statements that he did not wish to talk.

Science continues to be of no value in this country.

Seeing this floating around, and want to say this directly: Tomorrow's fire conditions are NOT comparable with Marshall Fire (12/30/21). Wind speeds, longevity, soil moisture, RH: not the same. We should be vigilant tomorrow. But stop with the Marshall Fire comparisons. #COwx

West metro Denver: prep to be without power for potentially up to 12 hours on Wednesday. Outage map: www.outagemap-xcelenergy.com/outagemap/

In these darkness of these days creeps in, may I offer music as a rebuke, a declaration of being alive in a world of destruction and death? I’m listening to my best albums of 2005 and 2015 playlist and noticed Sufjan Stevens was high on both. Enjoy his work! music.apple.com/us/album/car...

Too on the nose: climate change causing a Statue of Liberty to collapse in front of a McDonald’s

Tie everything down and get ready for the hurricane everyone, and no fires anyone!

It’s tough to be in a position of trying to help people rally their sense of well-being in this dystopia of today. How do you tell the hopeless to have hope when they rightly see the hopelessness of their situation? Sick, broke, often addicted. Trying to encourage hope is almost cruel.

Bo Nix's 4 TD passes lead Broncos to 34-26 win over Packers, who lose Micah Parsons to injury Bo Nix tied his career high with four touchdown throws sentinelcolorado.com/0trending/bo... #BroncosCountry #PackersNation #NFL

Not as much NFL talk here as baseball talk, but boy was it an electric atmosphere today in Denver. WOW, my ears may not stop ringing ever again.

I have had two consecutive evenings of fun group activities; first with the team from the practice out to dinner together, and tonight with the family at the Red Rocks Christmas in Color light show. It’s a nice reprieve from the last few weeks’ work and gloom.

COVID vaccines slashed ER visits by 76% in kids 9 mos-4 yrs, and 56% in older kids, CDC's latest MMWR report found (reposting with story): www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

Everyone, let’s boost The Onion. Let’s make it the most read paper in America. It’s already the most truth-telling paper in America.

NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions. "This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

Excellent joke

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Happy Wednesday everyone. For those in the US, congrats—you’ve made it halfway from Thanksgiving break to Christmas break.

A month on tirzepatide now, and an update: I don’t think I’ve lost much weight but I sure eat less. I’m still having anhedonia/ambition, but getting back into activities for fun (running/walking, listening to music) has been helpful. There have been some OCD type symptoms, though. Weird.

Another day of clouds and wind. It’s driving us nuts! Keep all your outdoor stuff tied down, and please, no outside unmonitored fires. Winds up to 90MPH in the Front Range foothills. Maybe they wind will blow these clouds away!

Nobody wants to win Monday Night Football it seems

60mph winds outside rattling the windows, but also warming up the air and melting the snow. It’s called looking for a silver lining.

I lay down at 8:42pm and slept all the way thru to my 6am alarm and feel no more rested than Saturday night when it was nearly 11pm and I awoke at 5:45. Moral of story: I guess I don’t really need to sleep if I’ll feel tired anyway?

Greeley, Colorado: when you flatness and smell of West Texas, at Colorado prices

Pulled into the truck stop this AM to stretch my legs & use the restroom. Guy walking out as I’m walking in says: “Looks like your load is giving you some hell today, boss.” I had only driven my kid an hour or so to his hockey game this morning; yet, that guy didn’t know just how right he was.

I get that these college athletes are paid now, and that they aren’t exactly little kids, but to repeatedly show the losing quarterback crying on the sideline and being comforted by his father is just mean by ESPN.

I don’t have a dog in this Big10 fight, but Ryan Day just looks like he needs a few punches in the face.

If any of you are runners, do any of you have any recommended 10k-HM in your area that are relatively flat, relatively low altitude, and friendly to fat, old, slow runners such as myself? Instead of spending money on unneeded stuff I want to use that money to travel for destination runs.

After a week of being the bug, I’d like to be the windshield today, Friday.

Here's me. "Hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds versus the rest of humanity"

@sueyinsydney.bsky.social here’s a picture of the most snow I’ve ever had at my home location, back in spring 2021. Talk about needing to deal with snow! I had to pull out my ski bib for the job. For reference I am 193cm tall.

12 actual real inches of snow, not 12 man inches. Under promised and over delivered in this first big winter storm of the 25-26 season.

How’d I get so old? I ask for a happy ending during a massage, meaning I want my back to stop hurting

@vrboombatzmdphd.bsky.social hey Dr Vinny Boombatz, how’s those six cases of VD doing?

Man, anyone wanna come over and give me a left lumbar massage? I tweaked it shoveling snow and now I’m expected to work all day afterwards?

We had a typical orographic storm here in the Front Range. Nearly a foot in the west Denver suburbs. Those are man inches, though, so probably only five or six actual inches. Enjoy some snow photos.

its a privilege to be a physician and I love my job 99% of the time, but sometimes there are days like today…ugh
