Gov. Jared Polis signs bill exempting lawmakers from parts of open-meetings law https://t.co/xz163BRtPc

[5280 Magazine @5280Magazine]

30 years ago, the barnstorming Colorado Silver Bullets women’s baseball team played its first season to national fanfare. Decades later, the players have moved on, even as their legacy is still being written. https://t.co/TzGeL9Krvb #InternationalWomensDay @CityReads

Colorado's all-women Silver Bullets baseball team played its first games 30 years ago. For @5280Magazine, I wrote about the team, its players and their baseball legacy. https://t.co/oqykplVyhH

I wrote about the Colorado Silver Bullets, the all-women baseball team that played its first games 30 years ago this year. https://t.co/oqykplVyhH @Longreads

"If this becomes law ... an entire committee could meet a week before the session begins to discuss a hypothetical bill they are likely to hear in the next session, hammer out the details of that bill, and not violate the open meeting laws." #coleg https://t.co/klBPDtgA5H

This is good.

[The Sunday Long Read @sundaylongread]

This unique #SLROriginal serves as both a rebuttal of the “golden years” myth and a self-aware celebration of the wisdom that comes with very old age. https://t.co/UpWgzpNLvP

[Robert Sanchez @CityReads]

It's nice to get namechecked in the @washingtonpost. I got so much hate on social media for my profile of Lia Thomas (and it's possibly the reason I got hacked on my old Twitter account), but it's good to know that SI staffers thought I did notable work. https://t.co/3dLvQU4vrU

Let's also not forget that Nolan Ryan threw this pitch so hard that Jim Sundberg split his pants when he caught the ball. That's why Sundberg grabs his rear end.

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

It’s Nolan Ryan’s 77th birthday. Let’s not forget when he threw 85 mph at 63 years old. Good thing they didn’t have him warm up, he would’ve touched 90.

Expertise is not everything. Great feature about flawed fire science and a couple found guilty of killing their children by @MileHighRobert for @5280 https://t.co/YUzljqirYK

[Robert Sanchez @CityReads]

Never forget that John Elway married a former Raiders cheerleader.

[Dave Kluge @DaveKluge]

Russell Wilson should go full heel and sign with the Las Vegas Raiders.

"We never intended for this story to reach an international audience, but that’s what happened when a thief decided to prevent others from reading the story and stole the newspapers out of a dozen racks in Ridgway and Ouray last week." via @ocplaindealer https://t.co/AbWc6RmRlD

@stephenrodrick I'm so sorry to see this. What an amazing woman.

[The Denver Post @denverpost]

I sat in the waiting room at my son's doctor's office a few months ago and watched a woman go through two issues of @5280magazine—where I work. This woman even got out her phone to take photographs of the stories. I've never felt prouder.

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

The advent of smartphones killed off magazines in waiting rooms, which kept magazines afloat far longer than you would have thought.

[Robert Sanchez @CityReads]

@mocutobi My Twitter was hacked in the spring of 2023, and I still haven't gotten it back. Old Twitter would have solved this issue in two days.

[Mike Wiggins @mikewiggins76]

Someone didn't like this edition of @ocplaindealer. (Guess which article.) So they stole nearly every newspaper out of our racks in Ouray County. If you hoped to silence or intimidate us, you failed miserably. We'll find out who did this. And another press run is imminent.

[Robert Sanchez @CityReads]

Where's the swim team stuff?

[Georgetown NIL Store @GeorgetownNIL]

@Ol_TimeFootball Definitely a miss.

[Robert Sanchez @CityReads]

I still think Karlis missed that field goal in overtime.
