Jason Statham films are easier to sit down to than the others in the stylised violence genre because he gets the camp better than anyone. "Oh you fought a mob, Denzel, cool story bro now watch me punch out a megalodon"

Desert Symphony… Sometimes it is just about light… How it can transform a relatively flat scene into a rich canvas of textures & colors.
I see art from nature when when I look at such scenes.

Proposed tax breaks for data centers would increase taxes for poor Coloradans, analysts say Sponsors of industry-backed data center bill say they are amending it in ways that will change the fiscal projections

Hey my fellow Coloradoans, please reach out to your state reps about this shit. Amazon doesn't need a fucking tax break from us, and we don't need more fucking data centers.

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that

We're not doing it because we think it will work or we think it's morally correct, although both those things are true. We're doing it because we enjoy it and because it is funny.

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

Kind of helps/doesn't help depending on how you look at it that the Republicans in Colorado are a pathetic shambles. I'd have sympathy for the old school rancho republicans who are watching their party tear itself apart, but they helped bring Boebert into office. So. You reap what you sow.

I fucking hate how things have come to this. I enthusiastically voted for the independent redistricting, and it's goddamn infuriating that the supreme court has enabled this stupid gerrymandering race to the bottom.

But as long as it is explicitly *temporary*, I'll probably vote for it.

Beginning January 1, 2031, an operator of a large-load data center (operator) must generate, purchase, or otherwise acquire a quantity of electricity generated from renewable resources necessary to meet 100% of the operator's large-load data center's total annual electricity consumption. An operator must also achieve the hourly matching requirement. An operator must comply with these requirements through a tariff, contract, or program entered into with a utility, one or more power purchase agreements entered into with an independent power producer, or a self-supply of electricity.

Gonna be keeping an eye on this one:

Sex, Money and ICE: Ten Pending Bills in the Colorado Legislature From pet custody after divorce to prostitution and underage marriage, here are a few of the most interesting proposals lawmakers are considering.

But for a case that drew attention from the highest levels of the U.S. Department of Justice and served as at least partial underpinning for President Donald Trump’s rationale to invade Venezuela, the lack of convictions at trial followed by uncompromising sentences so far would seem to leave McNeilly’s tough talk unfulfilled.

Defense attorneys say that rather than serving to expose the deep reach of a criminal gang directed from Caracas and bent on poisoning Americans with drugs, the pleas have shown the group’s local operation for what it really is: A ragtag bunch of minor criminals desperate for cash whose offenses often started with meetings with informants, undercover local law enforcement and federal agents, not dictated by a leader in South America. “Nothing that was done here is new,” said Jason Schall, whose client Jonathan Jose Ocopio-Villalobos pleaded guilty in late December to conspiracy to possess and distribute a methamphetamine mixture and a conspiracy to use a firearm during a drug trafficking crime. “If there was something new about it, it is how quickly resources were targeted towards a particular community.”

Shocking. /s

What will climate change cost Coloradans? Up to $37 billion, a new study says The real cost of climate change for Coloradans over the next 25 years is tens of billions of dollars, a new study says.

America's politicization of climate change continues to be the most self destructive, stupidest self own we've ever performed.

BTW you don't get to "repeal" a scientific finding, you can just decide to lie about it and not follow it
