Noah Lyles: we are the world (the NBA's not)
  • I really like that basketball is growing across the globe, but it’s straight up ignorant to insinuate the NBA championship isn’t the single biggest achievement in basketball. Maybe that will change, but it won’t be for a good while.

  • Denver plans to convert 194-unit, $26M hotel into city’s next homeless shelter
  • There’s 1,300 unsheltered homeless people in Denver. This hotel has near 200 rooms. With space in each room for multiple residents, this can put a major dent into the amount of homeless on the street if it’s used exclusively for that purpose. Plus, other homeless shelters in the Denver/Boulder area are spread crazy thin as it is. It’ll take a massive effort to keep it from going downhill but I think it can be done.

    I like what you’re proposing, but I think this idea is just addressing a different goal. Plus there are probably better places than a hotel to integrate homeless into low/medium income society.

  • States Rights
  • As a states rights fan, I hate that they’re largely positioned as a conservative platform. Or should I say, I hate that conservatives have co-opted states rights to further their regressive, religious agenda. I put a lot of stock in the laboratories of democracy idea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratories_of_democracy
