This has been happening for days. I know AI is making scams more linguistically advanced, but why is it talking like a movie mob boss?

Finance people, help me…

My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore.

I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k.

Is the risk/reward worth the change?

New: Denver's minimum wage will rise from $18.81 to $19.29 on Jan. 1. It's pegged to inflation. An increase of 2.6%, it's lower than the past couple years.

The tipped minimum wage will also rise from $15.79 to $16.27 per hour, which is similarly set by a formula.

Conditions are great, don’t worry. (Keystone last week. Other runs were less ridiculous, but it’s pretty dire.)

A lot of biographies will say a dude had a “majestic” head instead of just calling it huge, which I appreciate as someone with a majestic head.

Maybe just my core millennial bias, but it's crazy to me that The Flaming Lips are opening and the 'ain't no rest for the wicked' guys headline.

Winter also wrote or co-wrote just about every significant transpo bill over the last decade. Funding, speed cameras, etc. She was a giant in that world.

What a terrible thing. Rest in peace, Senator.
Faith Winter is why Colorado has a paid family leave program. My enduring memory: breaking the news to her that the AP had called it and the measure had passed, five years ago this month.

She was killed in a car crash today. I wish her loved ones solace and comfort. coloradosun.com/2025/11/26/f...

Influencers are cashing in on politics.

Phil Weiser’s team was told it could cost $2,000 to be interviewed on liberal influencer Katie Grossbard’s Instagram, even though she had just featured Michael Bennet for free.

Both men are running for governor.

Denver voters seem to really like their new ban on flavored nicotine. More than 70% are supporting the ban, meaning the repeal effort has almost certainly failed. The ban has majority support in every precinct. denverite.com/2025/11/04/d...
Referendum 310 results: Denver's ban on flavored nicotine shows strong support
More than 70 percent of early ballots supported Referendum 310, which would keep the city's "flavor ban" in place.
