A lynxpoint tabby cat is sitting g on a couch looking down on her sister who is looking at the camera. There is folded laundry on the couch

A late Caturday post - I call this one Cats Helping With Laundry #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday

I had totally forgotten that I had "bought a brick" for the back patio at the Trident coffee shop, way back during the pandemic. This is my first time seeing it. Pretty cool #boulder #bouldercolorado

Yippee! @jennlongs.bsky.social - looks like it might be moving out of your area as well (slowly)

A friend sent me this David Brooks' op ed and I made the mistake of reading it. Only reposting this so I can come back and enjoy the Bluesky comments, which are 🔥

Thanks. I tried to make a covid vaccine appointment at King Soopers for later this month & it was rejected. I'll try again after Friday.

Ahem, @bwade913.bsky.social

Thanks for sharing this! I find myself with time on my hands right now and this looks like an excellent way to fill some of it.

THIS is what I was looking for - hope it sticks until later this month when I will be getting my covid + flu vaccines. Kind of weird to have Taylor Swift in the picture (I get it “swift action”). Whatever sells vaccines I guess 🤷‍♀️ #Colorado

In the @colorado.gov AMA, Polis alluded to a vaccine update coming soon for CO. I wonder if this is it, which does not mention CO: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Anyone who wants a Covid vaccine should get one. There has been low participation recently so supply shouldn't be an issue

In case folks are interested, here's the thread from yesterday's @colorado.gov Reddit AMA. I would love to see more of these from all of our CO elected officials (and with a bit of pre-announcement so we can plan to participate): www.reddit.com/r/boulder/co...

Two lynxpoint tabby cats are lying on a black fleece pad on a gray chair. Merckx has her back to the camera and is cheek-to-cheek with her sister, Maddie, who is up against the back of the chair. Merckx has her front let on Maddie, which is so cute

Madeleine (Maddie) has had a rough 3 week. But after an ultra sound, enema, blood & urine tests, she is nearly back to normal. And her sister, Merckx, is very happy about that #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Sadly, have not found any verified announcements of this deal. If someone has one, please post it!

Yup.

ALERT: #CUBoulder has issued a campus-wide shelter in place order for a police op near Norlin Library. No further details confirmed at this time

With the death of anti-LGBTQ Christian Nationalist, James Dobson, the VIP section of Hell is now full. Fellow bigots, please make other arrangements.

I really enjoyed reading this - lovely sentiments about my favorite rider (Wout) and someone who is an enigma to me, but also interesting (Roglic) - escapecollective.com/two-immolati... - unfortunately Escape Collective does not offer gift links #ProCycling

I remember watching that and thinking “WTH doesn’t he know there are cameras everywhere?!”. It probably was a case of win or go home …

The Vuelta is so unpredictable. Like the year that one of my favs, Sepp Kuss won. After riding the Giro & TdF as domestique. Crazy.

Oh yeah, the goat paths are the best!

I love watching the Vuelta a España - lots of hard climbs, in high heat, by cyclists who are pretty much done with the season but some of who are looking for end of season success. Here's a great profile summary for easy reference. #LaVuelta #LaVuelta25

Eric Cartman, Welcome (for Now) to the Resistance

A good point about why South Park of all things is pushing back & other/better institutions are not. Never thought I’d say “at least we have South Park” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/a... (gifted link)

I know, except for the Texas part. We need a Colorado chapter 😀

11 Women, 9 Dogs, Not Much Drama (and No Guys)

A Birds Nest in Boulder would be cool 😏 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w...

We will never elect a woman president in my lifetime 😞

This L.A. Taqueria Makes Magic With Smoke and Salsa

Just a NY Times restaurant review. That got me depressed about the state of the country right now. More tacos, less borders - www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/d... (gifted)

A good read of the last stage (and the best stage, IMO) of the Tour de France #TDF

Didn’t enjoy this TDF much once it was evident Pogacar was going to win and with MvdP so dominant early on (not a fan of either rider). But I did enjoy Ben Healy’s successes. And then my favorite rider winning this final stage was great fun. Is it cyclocross season yet? 😉 #TDF #TDF2025

The making of Tadej Pogacar, the Tour de France’s laidback superstar From riding a unicycle on a farm to winning almost all of professional cycling's major races, this is how a generational talent was nurtured

I’m sort of done with the Tour de France now that Pogacar has it wrapped up. I’m not a big fan of his & I’ll leave it at that. Yet this interview with his parents is interesting & humanizing. Not sure if this is behind a paywall … www.nytimes.com/athletic/649...

Alt text correction - those are "white clouds", not "white close". As well as the grammatical error that I'm just going to ignore 🙄

A gravel trail traveling away from the camera with an open, green field & a fence to the left and some trees & low shrubs on the right. In the far distance is the Boulder foothills. The sky is mostly blue with some white close on the horizon.

A lovely day for some gravel biking around #BoulderColorado. This trail is called Open Sky, which seems appropriate. @bwade913.bsky.social

CBS will be ending Stephen Colbert's run as host of The Late Show, days after he criticized parent company Paramount's $16 million payment to Trump. Here's why the Left has a censorship problem.
