Not surprised no one is talking about this. I’m not worried for my wife and my jobs, I’m worried about the children we serve. Especially in red states. This will give them the green light to shutter programs.

1/2 The Times noted that the program currently serves about 700,000 kids under the age of 6 and has served more than 30 million children since 1965. #HeadStart #tRumpAdministration

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

Reminds me of something Dad always said about buying cheap cars. “All I need is a C-A-R.” Suffered through a lot of road trips in the back of a hatchback Mazda 323 with no AC, vinyl seats and crank windows. But in the end, it was indeed a C-A-R that saw over 200,000 miles.

A lot of people complain EVs are not “car enough”. For me it’s the opposite. I always hated cars. I absolutely hate every mechanical piece and oily part, and the assumption that as a man I should know how it works, and how to fix it when it doesn’t. My EV is a solution to go from A to B.

It’s especially offensive when you’re paying for said service. I’m never, ever going to buy insurance from Liberty Mutual or Allstate, never getting AT&T high speed internet, never placing an online sports bet, never switching to Canvas credit union. Even if I hear 50 ads a day for any of them.

Dear ads, I know you are a thing and I respect that. If you interrupt my music to advertise literally ANYTHING because you think that's the best course of action, I will dedicate myself to NEVER PURCHASING ANYTHING OF THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE INTERRUPTING WHAT I'M LISTENING TO. Superliminal don't work.

Someone with a lot of followers is passing this quote around without crediting Bob Newhart. Here ya go. I’m not referring to classic country like Gene Autry, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton etc. I can’t stand top 40 country slop beginning when Billy Ray and Toby Keith came on the scene.

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.” Bob Newhart

AI companies buying, digitizing and destroying books is horrifying, but we can blame the decluttering movement for starting the ball rolling. We’ve been told for years books are clutter and must be purged. In my bookselling days, even then it was “if you don’t take these, they’re going to the dump.”

My books will be on my shelves where they belong. A few friends used to laugh at me for keeping what they called obsolete things like vinyl records and old books. They all agree it was a good idea now.

Don’t forget the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012 and Black Forest fire a year later. Between the two of them, one 900 homes in the Colorado Springs area. They also could have been much worse; it would have only taken another wind shift and Waldo would have swept into the city proper.

Suburban sprawl in the West is having a reckoning. What we are learning is that half-city, half-wild is a recipe for conflagration. You have to either build a city, or not a city at all. Otherwise you're just providing the fire a new fuel type.

Our city council is stacked with developers. After months unannounced meetings, fees for appeals, and denial of it being a ballot issue, it’s coming. The only plus to it is it’s going in an existing building that Intel built and never used. The bad news is it’s in front of a residential area.

FYI. I've been in data centers. The ONLY people that work those buildings are the security people. 1st class!! The techs come in, replaces servers that fail and leave. They work for the companies. They drive in, find the broken server pull it out of the rack, put a new one in. And drive away.
