A man in the crowd shouted, "Go Cubs!"

Before Denver International (DEN) opened in February 1995, Colorado's main air transportation hub was located in Denver's Central Park and was known as Stapleton. After serving the state 60+ years, the #airport could no longer keep up and was closed for good. kekbfm.com/ixp/510/p/co... #DEN #avgeek

Stapleton Airport's Final Moments Captured In Poignant Footage

Take a trip back in time on a virtual tour through Colorado’s nearly-abandoned Stapleton Airport mere hours before it closed its doors forever.

The whole Lightning Lane system is a really annoying Rube Goldberg thing but I just like to prioritize the rides to what fits your time/budget and roll with it.

If you’re like us & went every few years, the kids will see something new each time & you can always go back to something you missed.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

“Pulp Fiction” premieres in the US 31 yrs ago today

Walken didn’t appreciate the film’s impact until, one day, “I was in a steam room in Europe somewhere, and there were a half-dozen young guys. Well, this one guy starts in on the speech — word for word! .. It was a wonderful tribute to Quentin.”

Was there late September last year. Was so crazy crowded you‘d think “my goodness how bad is it in late October”? The place feels like a permanent Halloween Comicon.

That said the Peabody Essex Museum is excellent.

The Bears squandered an opportunity for points at the end of the half after Matt Gay doinked a field goal attempt. But Tory Taylor's 53-yard punt forced the Commanders to just take a knee and head to the locker room.

Bears could have more, but can't be too upset with a 13-7 lead on the road.
