I'd say 90% of the local discussions about transportation begin with "Denverites love our cars!"

Every time I see this guy I am reminded that he is there because Colorado’s two democratic us senators wanted him to be there. @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.bsky.social didn’t just vote for him, they sheparded his entire confirmation.

Separate and apart from the rancid politics Target has attached itself to, the last few times I’ve set foot in a Target store have been pretty unpleasant experiences. Stores not clean or well kept, a lot of empty shelves. Just feels kinda dingy

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

It’s exhausting and so dumb. Nobody would describe their own politics as NIMBY. But by defining themselves in opposition to NIMBY, YIMBY inevitably leads to β€œno opposition to any project for any reason is legitimate”

This is not a "gotcha" but an observation: the period you're referring to as the halcyon days of Twitter is roughly around the time you found it so toxic that you quit for a year, isn't it?

You approved this guy to run the EPA, in fact, you introduced him as a personal friend.

Xcel has a very similar program in Colorado (currently awaiting Commission approval) but the utility has to compete with third-party bids to supply the distributed capacity

National media has a lot to learn from @kylec.bsky.social about how to cover politicians that make claims like this

How does this year compare to the snow droughts of the past? - Colorado Climate Blog Colorado’s mountain snowpack is in bad shape this year. It’s been extremely warm, and snowstorms have been few and far between. Based on data from the SNOTEL network, the amount of water stored in the...

Didn't Saletan go through a similar arc on Paul Ryan? Defended him for years as a wonk and earnest budget guy then eventually admitted he had elevated Ryan simply because it was necessary to have a Serious Republican and hadn't understood his proposals and the dishonestly of his rhetoric
