He/Him. Denver, CO. I survive through heavy doses of sarcasm. Typically post about hiking/camping, books, my dogs, and of course my hot takes on current events.

I'll be honest, I don't need to watch this to tell you the answer: it's doing a horrible job. I work outdoors and haven't been able to trust the weather forecasts all year. Correct much less than 50% of the time now. And when it's off, it's WAY off. www.nytimes.com/video/weathe...
Lock him the fuck up. THIS is real election fraud. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

A temper tantrum of historic proportion. I've met toddlers that are more mature than this. newrepublic.com/post/215457/...
It's a good thing single parents don't exist.... www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/u...
In their eyes, COVID is/was simultaneously: not real, not a big deal, and a powerful liberal conspiracy to kill off the masses. What I'm sure is an unrelated common feature of fascism according to Umberto Eco: "The enemy is both strong and weak" www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/h...
That's a whole lot of words to say that he went to deliver friendly advice and share intelligence with his Russian counterpart. A little different than the tough-guy persona that the few previous CIA directors that visited Russia went to portray. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/u...
I'm just so confused by all of this "prediction market" stuff. You know it's betting, I know it's betting, THEY know it's betting... So why is it not regulated under gambling laws like literally every other form of betting. A pig with lipstick is still a pig. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/t...
Finally some sanity in the NYT Opinion column. I'm glad at least French is acknowledging, and bringing receipts to show that "Woke 1" isn't what needs to be reflected on awful -- the anti-woke backlash was far beyond the pale to the other extreme. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/o...

Meta posted a net profit of $60.46 billion on total annual revenue of $200.97 billion in 2025. This is just a cost of doing business for them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/t...
On a related note, I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" last weekend. Interesting to reflect on 20 years later. It's almost like the scientists knew what they were talking about when they tried to warn us. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/w...
So about that cheaper "ground beef" that the regime announced it will be importing..... www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...
"The beef will be imported with 'no out of quota tariff' and sold 25 percent below the current market price" Undercutting American farmers. Very "America First". www.nytimes.com/2026/08/21/b...
I've seen enough videos recently of jackasses in military hardware doing jackass things to make a fair assumption that their actions probably directly of led to this crash and wildfire. Does Kid Rock have a home in the area that they were doing a low flyby on? www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Absolutely flies in the face of the traditional Use of Force Continuum.
NEW: ICE plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on buying specialized gloves that pulse with electrical energy, which make it easier for agents to subdue people. 404 Media read the manual that says the gloves may even contribute to “sudden death.”

Why does every “news” organization feel the need to misrepresent old photos of the dead Senator as current images of him being reanimated ? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...
