It’s a concert at Folsom Field, and yes it’s terrible. I keep hoping it’s the last song …

Some of my favorite sights & signs from today's protest in #Boulder #Colorado

Sign that says "Trump sandwhich. White bread. Full of Baloney. w Russian dressing. + a small pickle"

Two signs "Fight Truth Decay" and "Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but beause we cannot satisfy the rich"

Sign with a cat knocking the GOP elephant off a table with the words Cats Against Tyranny"

Got these 2 cards from the protest & posting an image here, for reference. I can't alt-text all the text, but the web sites on the cards are nokings.org and www.usrights.org #NoKings

As you can see, contrary to Stephen Miller’s dangerous and unhinged rhetoric, I met nothing but friendly & peaceful protestors in Erie at the No Kings rally — our sixth stop today!

Alt text: 2 protest signs. One says "does this ass make my country look small" and has an cartoon image of trump. The other says "you can't king here man!" and has the same image + a no king parking sign.

We’re joining the No Kings protest today—not because we’re America-haters, Marxists, terrorists, or paid agitators, as some might claim—but because we are informed, concerned citizens, appalled by the erosion of constitutional order and rule of law. Civil liberties must be preserved for everyone.

A protest poster with the words "Does this ass make my country look small". There is a baby trump with a crown cartoon graphic and a No Kings graphic

A quick article on coffee, and all its complexities. Coffee is one of my favorite drugs, with the least negative health impacts (and maybe even some positives) www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025... (gifted) @theatlantic.com

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Still keeping an eye on Denver's first potential freeze, maybe first potential snow in the ~7-10 day window.

A couple of big troughs move through. Question is how far south they'll go. Stay tuned!

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

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

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)

GOODBYE SMOKE!

After a smoky few days in the Front Range, we'll see significant clearing today into Monday with winds shifting. We should also be in the clear for the upcoming week with continued SW flow keeping Canadian smoke at bay #cowx

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 🔥

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Sep 5

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“I’ve been driven away from the right over the past decade, but I can’t join the left because I just don’t think that tradition of thought grasps reality in all its fullness,” our columnist David Brooks writes.

Opinion | Why I Am Not a Liberal

I don’t think the left grasps reality in all its fullness.

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.

CPR News @cprnews.bsky.social · Sep 4

The registered owner of any vehicle going an average of 10 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit will be automatically issued a $75 civil penalty, regardless of who was driving.

CDOT is expanding the use of cameras to issue automated speeding tickets

The effort comes as speed-related crashes and deaths increase across the state.

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

Governor Jared Polis @colorado.gov · Sep 3

We’re making it easier for Coloradans to get the updated COVID and flu vaccines this fall—no doctor visit required. Available at local pharmacies and supermarkets without a prescription, these vaccines save lives and protect our communities.

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...

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

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
