Remember that #Boulder post office drivers kept crashing into? Inexplicably, they've decided to add a ramp for cars next to those big pane windows. There's enough of a lip to get up into the ADA spaces that someone is going to give it just a little gas. Context: www.9news.com/article/news...

The president compounds his impeachable vote-bribe offer by denying the Article 1 power of the purse to Congress in approving a TRILLION-DOLLAR expenditure.

INGRAHAM: Have you talked to Thune or Johnson about this $5,000 dividend? TRUMP: There are a lot of people who think I don't even need congressional approval because we've made so much money

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

🤷♂️It was only a matter of time before Paxton's appearance made it into Trump's hour and forty-five-minute speech.

United Airlines was planning a 9/11 flyover in Denver that could have looked eerily like a hijacked plane. A few hours after we asked questions, the state suggested it might not allow its fighter jets to be used for the display and United canceled the flyover.

oh phew it requires congressional approval

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 5d ago

President Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval.

9NEWS will not host a debate in the race for Colorado Attorney General for the first time in recent history. Republican Michael Allen agreed to debate but Democrat Jena Griswold was unwilling to debate.

UPDATE: United is canceling its 9/11 flyover in Denver, citing "concerns in the community"

United declined to tell 9NEWS how close the flyover will come to downtown high-rises on 9/11. The Mayor's office says the the city not consulted by United on whether this was wise. Denver's Office of Emergency Management is prepping first responders and emergency dispatchers.

Another way to commemorate 9/11 would be to not do any of this

If we do this long enough, eventually we're going to have casualties from an accident related to a 9/11 memorial flight.

6 years ago today, Denver saw 1-4” of snow just 2.5 days after it hit 101°. Denver went from its latest 100°+ on record to its earliest freeze and 2nd-earliest measurable snow in about 70 hours. Wild. #COwx

Isaac Newton famously wrote “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Academic progress is always iterative and builds on the work of others, and a key component of academic culture is proper citation & attribution. It would be a travesty to let LLMs destroy that.

I teach history. That's my profession. That's what I'm trained in, that's what I was hired to train students in. That's what all my experience and interest is in. I don't know a thing about AI and I don't want to. So if you want to teach AI, go teach AI in your own fucking classroom.

They are blocking a bike lane to a middle school on grounds that it would remove parking for Monterrey Market. As if the market didn't already have a giant parking lot, a bus stop in front, and shoppers couldn't ride ebikes in the new bike lane.

The California Environmental Quality Act is bad for the environment because it gives litigious busybodies the power to delay and block environmentally friendly projects like bike lanes on the grounds that the government has not sufficiently analyzed the bike lanes’ “environmental impacts.”

Unclear what role Tesla's tech played, but this sounds like the kind of crash that Wes and I warned about: "[The 91-year-old driver] was pretty shell shocked, and she got out she didn't realize what was happening. She said she tried to stop the Tesla, it was accelerating and she couldn't stop it."

This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.
