Due to very high fire danger, the extended weather forecast, and current fire activity in the State of Colorado, Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are now in effect within Rocky Mountain National Park.

When Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are in effect, this means that all campfires, including charcoal briquette fires are not permitted anywhere within Rocky Mountain National Park.

This ban is effective beginning today, June 29, and will remain in effect until further notice.

@BigSkyCaptures Nice shot David!

This image reminds me of a Christmas card from many years ago where the owner of the small NE hometown bank & his wife took a picture in front of a similar structure with the caption “From Our House To Yours, Merry Christmas!” I smile every time I think of it.

Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.

"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”

“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."

Nvidia employees were asked to describe Jensen Huang.

Demanding. Perfectionist. Not easy to work for.

He didn’t flinch.

Huang: “Perfectly, yeah. It should be like that.”

He didn’t deflect. He didn’t qualify. He wore it.

Huang: “If you want to do extraordinary things, it shouldn’t be easy.”

Two sentences. No apology. No memo from legal.

The modern workplace spent a decade building the exact opposite.

Wellness budgets. Psychological safety frameworks. Feedback sandwiches.

An entire industry built to make discomfort disappear before it could do anything useful.

The HR industry exists for one reason. To sand down exactly this kind of edge.

Huang left it sharp.

Most leaders would have softened that answer. Reframed the discomfort as care. Made it something that could survive a town hall.

He didn’t need to.

Because underneath that demand is a belief. That the people around him have more in them than they’ve shown.

Comfort tells people they’ve arrived. Huang never let anyone believe that.

There is a version of Nvidia that hired culture consultants. Optimized for satisfaction scores. Built something gentler, safer, easier to defend in an exit interview.

That company does not run the global AI race.

Every competitor who called his management style toxic is now buying his chips.

Not out of admiration. Out of necessity.

That’s not irony. That’s a verdict.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors have opened an inquiry into Fed Chair Powell on renovations of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters in Washington.

Jerome Powell just released his response below:

"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."
