Given that the support from reintroducing wolves largely came from Golden State Progressive Colonists, Colorado should return the favor and support this.
Place the bears in the middle of LA and SF though. #landback
If Ryan Fox can play that fucking fast with the Claret Jug hanging in the balance, I never want to see another 18-handicapper lining up his triple bogey putt from seven angles ever again.
@robwitwer@denverpost If such an investigation determined that public policy was a major factor in the closure of these restaurants, would the Post report it? Asking for a friend.
Today in 1979, Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park goes off the rails when fans storm the field as local DJ Steve Dahl detonates records in the outfield. Chicago police arrest 39 and the White Sox forfeit the nightcap of a doubleheader with the Tigers.
My 19 yo today: "the best part about rooting for the USA to win today is that if they win, it'll be awesome, we'll feel great. And if they lose, we won't care and we get to go right back to totally not caring about soccer."
Only four times in NBA history has a player led the league in scoring, won the MVP, led the playoffs in scoring, won playoff MVP, and was 1st Team All-Defensive.

Today’s SpaceX IPO and the immediate attacks by leftists on @elonmusk should make one thing crystal clear to everyone watching:
Leftism is the enemy of humanity.
It’s an extinctionist movement that hates excellence and, when carried to its inevitable conclusion, would kill off our species.
Watch the ragtag socialist/commie crew of AOC, Bernie Sanders, Platner, Mamdani, Elizabeth Warren, etc. long enough and you’ll see it clearly. They resent excellence. They’re suspicious of ambition. They demonize our best builders and capital allocators.
If you’re somehow on the fence because you’ve been led to believe that it’s immoral for someone to have a trillion dollars, consider this: They create precisely nothing of value themselves. They’re the professional version of the worthless critic we all know in our own lives.
No innovations. No companies. No major breakthroughs. No employees, aside from staff we’re forced to fund with our tax dollars.
On the other hand, Elon has created over 150,000 high-paying jobs at his companies. That doesn’t count contractors, suppliers or their employees. When you add those in, you’re likely talking about millions of jobs affected by him.
He’s created tens of thousands of millionaires. His companies changed the car game forever, revolutionized internet access, gave us true free speech online again, helped the blind see, gave autonomy back to disabled people, changed the financial world and will make humanity a spacefaring civilization, which could ultimately save humanity if Earth faces an extinction-level event.
The question they want you asking is whether he has too much money. The question I want you asking is this: What kind of society do you want to live in?
One that celebrates excellence, advances humanity and makes the impossible possible? Or one laden with resentment, where we all need Daddy Government to provide the same shitty but equal standard of barely living for everyone, while choking innovation to death until there are no more rich people left to fund the welfare they promise?
Elon doesn’t use his wealth to shower himself in abundance. He invests it in advancing humanity. If we gave the same amount of money to the government, they wouldn’t accomplish half as much as he has. How do I know? Because we’ve already given them trillions for decades.
What did we get?
Bloated agencies.
Failed programs.
Generational fraud.
Wars.
Armies of consultants.
DEI.
Perpetual wokeness.
A society worth a damn celebrates its best capital allocators. Elon is the best in the business at turning dollars into more dollars by putting them to work in the right places and driving innovation. This uplifts humanity both now and later.
If you need someone to demonize as a way to make yourself feel better, then demonize the leftist politicians who do nothing but criticize the most productive, exceptional people in society. These people don’t want you to be successful.
They want you to be the cattle they herd. They want you dependent. They want you weak. They want your livelihood dependent on their hand filling your hand with scraps after they’ve robbed someone else’s.
The sooner everyone understands that, the better. Eventually, you’ll be the one they rob. Or they’ll simply run out of people to rob.
And worse, humanity will stop advancing. Eventually, we won’t even merely survive.
Why? Because a cataclysm on Earth isn’t a matter of if. It’s a matter of when.
We’re in an invisible race against time to push humanity into becoming a spacefaring civilization that can save itself before that day comes. Leftism would guarantee our deaths.
The only path for humanity to survive and thrive is to innovate and for us to celebrate and support the creators, builders and innovators who make that possible.
Anyone selling you the lie that those people are the enemy, IS YOUR ACTUAL MORTAL ENEMY.
That’s why leftism must be defeated and the woke mind virus must die.
I want humanity to survive. I hope you do too.
