For whatever reason, Haley Heynderickx's music hasn't really resonated with me - despite being the type of music I am often drawn to - so I'm very happy to report that her new record with Max García Conover is incredibly and hit me immediately.
One of the best of the year.

This is a special team that seems destined to be cut down by injuries
Aaron Gordon will miss time with a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks, the Denver Nuggets announced Sunday.
Gordon suffered the injury in Friday’s win over the Houston Rockets during NBA Cup play.

Still got the box at my parents house along with Elway’s Comeback Crunch
Ed's Endzone O's (1999-2000): Denver Broncos' WR Ed McCaffrey received his own cereal--basically Honey Nut Cheerios-- following a Super Bowl championship. A portion of sales went to charity.

Some folks were calling the Bulls loss a bad loss. But if the Nuggets lose to the Kings at home, that’s what an actually bad loss looks like.

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

I feel like most of us understand that he will change his mind literally the next time he talks to any of his horrible goblins, because he just agrees with the last person who talked to him. but still it's so funny that he fully got rolled by Mamdani leagues more than we even could have hoped
Let's not go crazy & think that just because he has nice things to say about Mamdani while Mamdani is in the room means that it's going to last past his next dose of naptime propaganda. Still some fine entertainment
Alhamdulillah truly

As budget talks stall out, I keep coming back to this one.
From a budget perspective, CPD operations are almost entirely discretional. (Mind you, pensions and lawsuits are another matter.)
It is an active choice to prioritize this spending above all other spending, year after year.

I'll close with a reminder I give every year: unlike our other billion-dollar-plus departments, CPD is almost entirely paid for with the general-purpose corporate fund.
Out of every dollar spent on the police budget, roughly 94 cents could be spent on any other city department, if Council wanted.
