I've been reading Drive for years, can confirm, it's amazing. It's also a great time to hop in, since you can binge so, so much that's already out there.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Let me get this straight, the criminal enterprise has a fixer named Mr. Wolff

Lucy pulling the football is the easy comparison for the current moment, but the proper comparison is Ignatz Mouse (Republicans) braining Krazy Kat (Democrats) with a brick over and over again, which Krazy Kat mistakenly believes to be a sign of affection and attention. In this essay I will...

I say hell no to any deal that will cause millions of Americans to lose their health insurance.

Taking a break from politics-posting: Skylark Lounge is a great venue, @danmanganmusic.com is truly phenomenal live (way better than I expected, and I had very high hopes), and I did not expect just how delightfully weird Stelth Ulvang would be on stage.

This deal is weak enough that I'm enthusiastically agreeing with Bernie Sanders about how weak it is 🫠

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Our parent company's biweekly update had a slide showing the German team moving offices all by cargo bike. #CarryShitOlympics at a corporate level, you love to see it.

In non-political news, I have prepped Helen Goh's Lao Gan Ma cheese crackers for a friendsgiving this weekend.

a couple years ago i contracted with one of subway's ad agencies for a small rotating sandwiches collab that ultimately they decided not to publish and i never did anything with. today feels like a good day to post one of them. here's my favorite subway sandwich, the veggie delight

I live 3 blocks away and walk by this every day on my way to work. Denver is getting better because of changes we've made, choices to update the laws. This is so cool.

Women ruined the workplace so much that Republicans shut the government down to furlough my wife specifically. She's that powerful.

Took the California Zephyr recently, and gosh, a 30-year-old 50mm lens shooting through a train window just has Vibes that I couldn't capture with sharper equipment.

SAVE THE DATE! DeCAF 3! The third Denver Comics and Ars Fest is happening this December at Town Hall Collaborative on Saturday, December 6th, 11-5pm, featuring artists, cartoonists, publishers, and zine makers from all around Colorado. Be there or be square and all that.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🤓

Dropped off at Union Station this morning, counted by early afternoon. Denver elections, always great.

Chris' Ballot Opinions, roughly in ballot order. At-Large School Board: Amy Klein Molk. I don't really understand, but the people I trust the most on education here support her.

Mina just skeeting out "Packers Ravens Eagles" so everyone will pass the standard dementia screening

Python Software Foundation withdraws bid for $1.5m grant from US gov, because the terms require they do not "operate any programs that advance or promote DEI", and "it would be a betrayal of our mission and our community." Applause. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

🎞️ 𝘊𝘢𝘯 you store a movie in DuckDB? In today's blog post, @hannes.muehleisen.org shows how to store a movie as a table encoding the RGB codes pixel-by-pixel, and how to process it: duckdb.org/2025/10/27/m... Now, whether you 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 store a movie in DuckDB... we'll leave that to your judgment.

My favorite week of the year: The week when my European-based team changes their clocks but we haven't. No meetings until 8 AM!

#WhiteHouse #EpsteinBallroom #Ballroom #NoKings

My most controversial opinion: $ should mark the beginnings of lines, ^ should mark the end. Watch, watch as I destroy every regex (and millenia of cumulative vim muscle memory).

Things I've learned from an Ask Me Anything from our CEO: His walk-up music is Golden from KPop Demon Hunters.

Who's figured out how to write a BSky feed which summarizes the controversy from a week ago and tells me what the milkshake duck looks like? If I'm reading about breaking news and evolving stories about Nazis, I'm definitely Too Online and need to take a step back.

Can confirm! I was an asshole of a lot of different flavors when I was younger. Never was I Nazi-curious! Or anywhere close to Nazi-curious!

`A marketing director reviewing the terms complained in an email to supervisors about “some pretty big flags,” including that the man they were paying to introduce the public to their company didn’t use social media.` Kawhi Leonard is truly enlightened. www.wsj.com/business/bal...

Watched a temper tantrum at Bardo Coffee this morning because their printer doesn't print double-sided, and other print shops weren't open on an early Sunday morning. The print job? "Why We Should Revolt: Letter To The Oppressed"

No Kings in Denver today. Photo by Cheney Orr for @nytimes.com

BTFU

I'm in here somewhere. And this is a fantastic photo.

for those of you not from Indiana, IU and Purdue have a historic long-lasting rivalry and this is absolutely going in the record books as a victory for the Boilermakers. I’m dying. well played AND well done.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the past day, and I love it. I was able to bike to a Colorado Renewable Energy Society meeting last night because I live physically close enough to where it was held, and met cool people doing cool things.

Salida, Colorado, welcome to The War On Cars. cc @thewaroncars.bsky.social

John Roberts saying "I just call balls and strikes" is perfectly congruent with his behavior now if you know his favorite umpire is Angel Hernandez send skeet

Techniques for surviving the cold plunge part of a sauna/cold plunge cycle: Memorize and state the Litany Against Fear from Dune.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

I respect that Denver didn't want to be on the hook for FIFA level cost overruns and bribery. We'll reject the Olympics, we'll reject the World Cup, because we're maybe the only city that's figured out that the costs >> the benefits. Great reporting from @denverpost.com

It literally just occurred to me that I get LinkedIn requests from recruiters for blockchain jobs (decidedly not where I want to work) because I work at Kraken. But not that Kraken.

Get yourself a dinosaur museum that's full of cartoon gore.

I honestly can't tell if this makes Perplexity or Venmo come across as more desperate. I think the answer is "Yes"

Just a reminder: theonion.com/it-only-tues...

My daily joy today? Responding to LinkedIn recruiters sharing generic postings with "The state of Colorado requires salary bands to be listed for job postings."

This machine fights fascists.

i made a helpful reference

The spice must flow

It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

Road rage is revealed clarity about how bad car dependence is. You're in a comfy, climate-controlled private cabin where you even get to choose your own music. Any possible friction other than actually driving has been smoothed away. You're eye to eye with the system we've built. And it sucks.
