I spent ten hours on a bus from Omaha to Chicago, with a bunch of characters, that eventually descended into open bedlam. walkingtheworld.substack.com/p/the-dirtiest…

@ryancam98716161 @GenXJenDen Anything more than zero is wrong

@GenXJenDen How many boys are playing in girls sports? How many boys are in girls lockers room? Dressing up your 16 year old to cry about a non existent issue is comedy

Take 2 minutes and listen to the testimony of these young girls. Remember them in November when you get your Colorado ballot. Vote YES on Initiative 109: “PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS SPORTS ACT.”

We like to say that it's Trump that's making people sour on moving to America. But a lot of it is the deterioration of American cities, which is largely due to progressive ideology.

@GenXJenDen @kevinvdahlgren I saw zero follow-up from Kevin. Now he is in Philly. Did he even leave DIA?

Colfax and Pearl. Another outdoor death. The other day when @kevinvdahlgren mentioned he was in Denver, Colfax and Logan, Pearl and Penn was my first thought for where he should go. The ME’s office updated their data on 4/13 and what I’d hoped was an encouraging shift in fatals is likely just a lag in results; in one week 12 more ODs were added to the Feb total, bringing it up to match Feb ‘25. Damn.

@CowboyGospeler @wesyang Looks to be restored now

After folks laughed at AOC for not knowing vaquero history, I knew Wikipedia would alter their meaning to fit hers, so I took a screenshot, and they finally did rewrite it. Wiki removed vaquero from 'The origins of the vaquero tradition come from Spain...'

@kevinvdahlgren What did you learn in Denver this week?

I’m in Kensington Philadelphia, the most concentrated area of the country of drug activity. It is the most chaotic place I’ve ever been. It’s almost impossible to describe the insanity.

@ThoughtCrimes80 Aka burro racing kdvr.com/news/local/pac…

I’m a Colorado native of 44 years and I’ve never heard of “donkey jogging.” 😂

No one is more Right-wing than a blue-state conservative. Unless you've seen first hand, up close and personal, the damage that the far-Left is capable of causing, it's all theoretical. I spent the first 25 years of my life in Portland, Oregon. I have seen, with my own two eyes, the real world consequences of far-Left political ideology. Neighborhoods - destroyed. Crime rates - skyrocketing. Small businesses - gutted. Homeless population - through the roof. Illegal aliens - everywhere. Housing costs - stratospheric. Public parks and playgrounds - littered with used needles. Sidewalks - covered in graffiti and human feces. Your old friend from highschool - overdosed, dead. Take it as a warning from me -- we can NEVER let these people win.

No way a driver-less public bus will work in the US, except a few very limited routes, given safety issues from the riders. Will be trashed/vandalized, and far too dangerous for most people to want to ride. What the technology will do, is push more people into private self driving options, like cabs, etc, where riders don't have to mix with the public.

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

@kevinvdahlgren 17% is utter bullshit. Maybe Denver homeless are better at lying to others and to themselves? Kevin, I have no doubt that as you meet Denver's unsheltered homeless population, you will encounter the same kind of people, shattered by drug abuse, that you do in Portland.

I’m in Denver, Colorado. They have an unusually low percentage rate of substance abuse issues and I want to find out why and if it’s accurate.

@HopeSchepp @GovtsTheProblem Agree with the sentiment, but this is AI slop writing

As a citizen of Colorado, I am deeply concerned about how dangerous our roads have become. The recent 75-vehicle pileup on I-70 wasn’t just a weather event… it was chaos. Dozens of vehicles, multiple crashes, and people injured on a stretch of highway we all rely on. And the truth is, this keeps happening. Yes, we live in a state with harsh winter conditions. But this is also about preparedness, infrastructure, and accountability. We know these storms are coming, yet we continue to see massive, preventable pileups that put lives at risk. Colorado families deserve to feel safe on our roads. Enough is enough. It’s time for stronger enforcement, better preparedness, and real solutions to prevent these dangerous situations from happening again. foxnews.com/us/colorado-hi…

@AdamMcCalvy Shocking

Joey Ortiz did not come through with the bases loaded. After an eventful ninth, let's play 10.

@ThoughtCrimes80 I follow you now. It's a raw deal either way... they should just change their menu prices.

@Valconn40 But if they do it this way, you’re paying taxes on a fee you didn’t agree to.

There’s a restaurant in Castle Rock Colorado that charges a 4% “kitchen gratuity” fee BEFORE tax, and now hundreds of locals are fighting over whether or not it’s justified. Listen, if you can’t pay your cooks, that’s not my problem. 😒

@Jazzy_303_ @wisemannerisms There is substantial off-trail travel to go between the Rito Alto Lake area and Elaine Lake. It still could be easier, but there is no trail to that ridge crest.

@wisemannerisms I believe someone in this thread posted a photo from the top of the Rio trail(I believe that’s the main trail you start on), just slide down the mountain to the lake. That’s what I’d do if I did that lake again.

there’s a lake in the Sangres I’ve never been to. Rio Grande aquatic biologist tells me it’s stocked with RGCT, & has a history of fish populations since the 70s. zero info on it, & only one picture of it that I can find online. planning to go. 8.6 miles RT 3,529 elevation gain

@DenverPandaBear @dobetterdnvr Right and wrong... DSA is still not a majority on this council. Denverites need to ensure that never happens.

@dobetterdnvr The people overwhelmingly voted the DSA people in. They deserve to be victims of crime

🚨 Denver, Bill 26-0328 is back this week. DSA-backed candidates are pushing hard to weaken penalties for theft, drug use, vandalism, trespass, and illegal camping…calling them “poverty-based offenses.” That’s dangerous NONSENSE. These aren’t victimless crimes. They destroy neighborhoods and quality of life. Jail exists for a reason: to punish lawbreakers and protect the public. This bill goes far beyond the narrow Camp ruling fix. It’s a broad giveaway to repeat offenders, signaling Denver is open for more chaos. Denverites are fed up with soft-on-crime policies. 📢 Take action NOW: Email your City Council member and demand they VOTE NO on 26-0328. Keep any fix limited to the Camp ruling only; leave the rest of Denver’s penalties alone. Council emails: - D1: District1@denvergov.org - D2: District2@denvergov.org - D3: District3@denvergov.org - D4: District4CityCouncil@denvergov.org - D5: DenverCouncil5@denvergov.org - D6: Paul.Kashmann@denvergov.org - D7: District7@denvergov.org - D8: District8@denvergov.org - D9: District9@denvergov.org - D10: District10@denvergov.org - D11: District11@denvergov.org - At-Large: G-Gutierrez.atlarge@denvergov.org - At-Large: ParadyAtLarge@denvergov.org Copy, paste, and send. Our city depends on it. #Denver #PublicSafety #VoteNo

@wisemannerisms I've climbed the peaks above that lake many years ago. Here is the picture I took of that lake. I wonder if the spur trail up to it is any good?

@HAPIOKI First learned about this dish in Yakuza games. A great example of yoshoku!

アメリカよ、これが沖縄で独自の進化を遂げたタコライスだ！！

@realkyndr @AndrewZywiecMD I don't disagree, but I think we've all observed how infrequently such actions are met with real consequences.

@Valconn40 @AndrewZywiecMD They struck her with the Dildos that is assault in every jurisdiction in the union

Every man that was there... you are total cowards. First they were swinging dildoes in her face and hitting here, then blowing whistles two inches from her face and blocking her from moving while shoving her, then this guy does this. Things need to get ready nasty for these animals.
