@FanaticsBook isn’t working at a key time in global sport ⚽️

in life, it isn't heroics that are most impressive over all but a general plane of cheerfulness, equanimity, sense of humor & being reliable & generous at all times that is truly impressive. each of us presumably has enough friends/acquaintances/colleagues like this. these people truly enjoy their employment though it may be relatively low-paying, they enjoy their gardens, dogs, cats, walks, telling silly stories, movies, books. they just seem upbeat & even their complaints are couched in comic terms. they are not passionately political, not bitter & not especially optimistic. they just keep going.
sometimes I regard them as superhuman for just being consistent & if they buy books too, what a bonus!
thank you.

COLORADO — Mountains, marijuana, and mass shootings.

With data from @nytimes API, I analyzed all national+local coverage since 2000—224K articles— to see which topics in each state get covered out of proportion to the rest of the country. A portrait of how the paper of record sees America, one state per tweet, alphabetical. 👇

Colorado is already in one of the worst droughts in the history of the West. Climate change is making it worse and harder for our farmers yet the president calls climate change a hoax, has cut climate research, and started a war that’s driving up the price of gas and fertilizer.

More reason to dislike the OKC Thunder

[Ryan Butler @ButlerBets]

An Oklahoma sports betting bill under consideration would direct up to $7 million a year from sportsbooks to the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder; The Thunder had been considered for a sports betting license in other bills, but are not eligible under the proposal set for a vote today

We don’t have time to waste, and neither does the Colorado River. Litigation won’t solve the problem – the best path forward is the one we take together.

As the first reanalysis data become available, I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that the March 2026 heatwave will go down as the most anomalously extreme heat event ever observed at any time of year in the southwestern U.S.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET.

Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time.

5 minutes before Trump's post.

Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?

This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

Colorado breaks another record!!!! January sports betting tax brings in just over $5million for the month. Great news for our rivers and everything that depends on them! 💧 🦬 🧑‍🌾 🎣 🛶 💧 #waterwins

In a final plea to the Trump administration, @SNWA_H20 and @CRCofNV have proposed a two-year plan to stabilize the Colorado River.

Beyond 2028, Nevada says the seven states must reevaluate operating plans twice a year. Story @reviewjournal: https://t.co/oWRqQ1RFU3

Voters thought Colorado wasn’t doing enough to protect its water even before this winter’s dry spell https://t.co/qQxIZ5iVif via @coloradosun

We now have 5 calendar years of tax data from Sports Betting in Colorado. 2025 showed tremendous growth, bringing in $43.6 million for water projects across the state. Total since inception is $137 million. This revenue continues to grow even as our snowpack doesn't. #waterwins

@ButlerBets @GeoComply You have the rest of the rankings?

[Brian Jackson @BeeeJack]

NEW: President Trump's first veto of his second term kills a unanimous bill to fund a major drinking water project in Colorado. Trump had threatened punishment for Colorado for imprisoning his ally Tina Peters. https://t.co/YPbNX1JuqQ

The state’s first-in-the nation rules helped curb pollution between 2010-2017, according to Environmental Defense Fund study. https://t.co/miKbJov1AQ

When @mitchellbyars wants to run for Mayor or congressman from the Boulder area I’ll donate so much $$$. He’s a true community hero. Thank You for always keeping us informed!!!!!

I'm on my third coffee shop, I just keep moving east as they lose power like some sort of Wi-Fi nomad. On the bright side, I have sampled a very wonderful collection of caffeinated holiday beverages so it won't matter that the wind would have kept me up all night anyway.
