Fill Your Weird Cup in 2026 Why I’m embracing the weirdness of it all

Authentic is out.
Weird is in.

In 2026, I’m filling my weird cup, not to be edgy, but to stay human in a culture obsessed with sameness and scalability.

Weirdness is resistance.
Weirdness is how I’m not losing my mind this midterm year.

Why Can’t the Old Guard Just Let Us Hope? And why the Democratic Party keeps tripping over its own fears of loss.

What’s been on my mind? It’s #millennialhopecore and why we are all craving it again.

All photos taken from my Facebook during peak millennial optimism.

When I moved to Denver, I was blown away by how robust the media presence is. It still is, to the great benefit of this city. But I don’t think people realize how it’s simultaneously really fragile, how quickly that array of coverage and voices and perspective can get hollowed out.

More New Crime Data Lands Another Blow to Republican Narratives | Colorado Pols Republicans such as Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) -- who loves to remind anyone who will listen that he was once a police officer on the hardscrabble streets of Arvada -- often go out of their...

Congressman Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) says big drops in crime rates in Colorado are because of President Trump and Republicans.

One problem: The data is from 2024, before either Trump or Evans had been elected to their current jobs. #copolitics www.coloradopols.com/diary/215099...

Building new coal and gas power plants would mean higher energy bills. Here’s how the math works. Even after federal tax credits for clean energy development were erased, it’s still more expensive to build new “dispatchable” electric plants

We are being run by an idiotic death cult.
