Seems like the GOP needs a Big 10 refresher. (Michigan referring to OSU as "Ohio", Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks).

When I lived in the US, I’d hear of people getting vaccines before traveling abroad. Tomorrow I’m getting a measles booster before traveling to the US to visit my children.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

How to talk about the local news crisis: We are all worse off.

Last week, McClatchy rolled out the latest round of destructive cuts to its local reporting staff. The cuts themselves are barely newsworthy within the industry at this point, though the futility of '...

Two things can be true. 1. The definition of "genocide" is very specific and most actions don't qualify as genocide. 2. If your arguments is, "But it's not actually genocide!", then what you're doing is probably very, very bad.

The crash of the news helicopter is tragic and sad. But I still don't understand why we (they) have them. I just don't see any value add, they (at least to me) seem to just exist to give us horrifying visuals that aren't necessary and aren't worth the risk, the expense, and the environmental impact

NEW: In a new audio recording, GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx suggests that his campaign filed someone else's large contribution under Marx's name to avoid campaign finance limits.

Respectfully, Mr. Sheerhan, by agreeing to drop him from your tour you *are* taking sides.

Not that anyone cares, but my position is still that AI is overhyped (by many) in the short run, but underappreciated (by most) in the long run. I fear that many smart people are dismissing it outright (including the dangers), and that worries me.

This was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 69.4° beat the old record (2012) by 0.7°, a wide margin. It was also Colorado's hottest August on record, and it's our hottest start to a calendar year on record as well. #COwx

I dream of a country where we spend our time talking about things like poverty, disease, and climate change and not about Hunter and Hasan.

As I’ve said before, I think our myopic focus on gas prices is less than helpful in the bigger scheme of things. But since people continue to focus on it, this seems significant.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.

I am also not a Maine voter, but watching that video I can't help but notice her hands shaking whenever she tries to take a bite. Age is not the only factor when considering a candidate, but that would be one additional factor for Maine voters to consider.

1/2 Colorado Folks: Initiative 195 (graduated state income tax) has made the ballot. I'm in favor of this (although open to arguments against it). This story has a nice calculator that tells you your effective tax rate based on your income so you can see if your state taxes would go up or down.
