I have... Opinions about Polis, but I am going to say that ending his ultimate State of the State will Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is the kinda thing I unabashedly dig.
Colorado’s governor gave his 8th and final State of the State speech. We analyzed everything he said.

Jared Polis delivered his last — and by far longest — State of the State address on Thursday. It was part victory lap, part vindicating and part forward looking.

Secretary Noem must be impeached.
She has obstructed Congressional oversight, directly violated a court order, violated public trust, and engaged in corruption to enrich herself and close associates. She must be held accountable.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com

![PANEL 1: LOS TRES PRIMOS stand together in a spaceship, looking forward. In the middle of them is the rhinn, GENN, at the ship controls.
THIN PRIMO: Ahoy, Machito! This is Los Tres Primos! Greetings to our young cousin and the entire crew!
PANEL 2: The CAPTAIN, in the Machito, stands behind CUDDOW who stands at a console, tongue out operating a screen.
CAPTAIN: Orla, wait one sec to answer that hail. [whispering] Cuddow, turn off Imperial transcription, please, and purse the file. [Speaking loudly again] HAIR AND WELL-MET, PRIMOS! I didn’t expect to meet YOU on the path to Tierra!
PANEL 3: The thin primo, in hologram, responds.
THIN PRIMO: Normally we steer clear of home…but we’re DESPERATE to stop friends from making a mistake.
PANEL 4: The CAPTAIN watches the thin primo on hologram.
CAPTAIN: What friends?
THIN PRIMO: THE NYX. They sent along a cryptic message, saying “These Nyx will have enforced the Empire’s Justice.” They believe they have the right to arrest the Emperor, and turn him over tot he courts.
PANEL 5: The CAPTAIN continues to speak to the thin primo via hologram.
CAPTAIN: AREST THE EMPEROR? Them and what army?
THIN PRIMO: EXACTLY. They’ve built a fleet of Cruz drive warships, apparently… but it’s a disaster int he making.
PANEL 6: Back on Los Tres Primo’s ship, the Primos gather around the hologram of the CAPTAIN.
LARGE PRIMO: They Nyx are brilliant — BUT THEY’VE NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE.
THIN PRIMO: EVER!
SQUAT PRIMO: Du Fu gave them no natural predators! No wars! No Sustained combat! They’re gonna crumple with the first punch to the nose.
PANEL 7: Close up on the thin primo, under-lit in horror.
THIN PRMO: I don’t care how good their M-waves are: firepower can’t compensate for inexperience. Unless we stop them, Captain, THE NYX WILL BE SLAUGHTERED.

Tried to do an Indiana-Jones-esque jumping swing over a waist-high metal gate with the decorative metal ribbon on top. The horizontal plank on the arch over the gate was loose, shifted, and I feel straight down onto the ribbon. Peeled a 1"x12" strip of skin straight off of my shin.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Okay, got a new phrase I wanna test out: "The Denver Clothesline"
It's when people are walking their dog on one side of the street/path and the leash goes all the way to the other side, tripping anyone walking/running/biking by.

Look, yes, everything sucks. But I just pulled out my K1000 yesterday and found 3 rolls of super expired and improperly stored Velvia 50 that I get to play around with. And you know what? I'm pretty stoked about that.
