I feel like I'm the only one who remembers how bad the Broncos offense looked for almost all of last year (in Qs 1-2), with Sean Payton calling the plays

Yesterday I crossed paths with the International Taco Bell 50k Ultramarathon passing through my neighborhood. 31 miles, 10 stops at Taco Bell, mandatory menu requirements. A truly heroic endeavor tacobell50k.com

Fine, I'll take the TV show rage bait: 1. Breaking Bad doesn't belong in the top 50 2. If Twin Peaks: The Return isn't top 10 it shouldn't be on the list at all 3. US Office ahead of UK Office is unserious 4. I'll happily defend Succession in the top 5 5. Daily Show and Colbert Report snubbed

we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind

Beavers are on the payroll in Colorado. 10 years ago, Brian Sullivan, head of Colorado Parks & Wildlife’s Wetlands for Wildlife grants program, saw 1 or 2 grant applications for beaver-related projects each year. Now about half the projects he processes involve them buff.ly/H2UtOf0 #ShareGoodNewsToo

I mean look, it's entirely up to the Broncos to convince the city that they'll follow through on it, but this would be a top-5 land-use outcome for a major pro sports stadium built this century.

If you're Gen X, you likely had the experience that a handful of albums are deeply carved into your brain because they were the cassette tapes that played over and over again in the family car. For my sisters and me, one of those was Bonnie Tyler's Faster Than the Speed of Night. RIP.

@jesseapaul.bsky.social I've really appreciated the Sun's (and your) coverage of these races. Given that the margin in the Weiser/Bennet race is going to end up close to the margin of the Hick/Gonzales race, do you think in retrospect there should have been more coverage of the latter?

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

Although Trump denied him entry into the U.S., Lumumba Vea landed an endorsement with Rexona, an official World Cup sponsor. I think we made the right man famous. Get that bag king. Congrats on your country advancing!

Over the last 36 years, they’ve gone 0 for 2 when they’ve scored in the 37th minute to lead 2-1 against a team whose country comes before theirs alphabetically.
