Mark Udall: “No label” but “spoiler” for a third-party presidential candidate on Colorado’s ballot

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:17:35 GMT

The case against Donald Trump grows stronger by the day. Yet despite his indictment on dozens of national security felonies, a little-noticed event here in Colorado could speed his return to the White House.It’s all due to an out-of-state group that recently secured a spot on the ballot in Colorado. The group, which claims to promote bipartisanship, can now run a third-party presidential ticket in 2024. While that may sound appealing, in reality, it risks dividing the mainstream majority of Colorado voters and tilting the election to Trump.The group in question is called No Labels. They are a DC-based political organization that began as a group of Republicans and Democrats working to tackle our nation’s biggest challenges. As a former Senator who always tried to find common ground with the other party, I know that’s a worthy goal. No matter how you’ve voted in the past, it’s obvious to everyone that we need more – not less – cooperation between our elected leaders.But running a thi...

Letters: Denver Nuggets’ faithful fans are worthy of access to games on TV

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:17:35 GMT

Nuggets, Avs fans are worthy of TV accessIt is truly great to see the Nuggets grow up and become the champs. The Kroenkes now have winners in both of their Denver teams. The Avalanche and the Nuggets are two of the best of the best. And the fans know it.After Monday’s Nuggets’ win, I watched Stan Kroenke during the interview on the arena floor with the TV announcer and at the winner’s table. There he spoke clearly and loudly about the great fans of Denver, the state of Colorado and across the nation who have given their unwavering support to his teams. Is his praise a hollow thank you? Has he really given any thought to all of his fans that are shut out of local TV coverage and yet are the most loyal fans in the country? That part of his character remains to be seen.Neil Iskow, ParkerSo now that the Nuggets have won the NBA Championship and Stan Kroenke has openly stated how wonderful all the fans are, perhaps it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is a...

On the Neko Case

On the Neko Case: We know Neko Case as a member of Canadian indie rock band the New Pornographers (although Case herself is American), but her solo work is and has always been spectacular. Poetic and haunting, rooted in the traditional but with a very contemporary bent, she’s a true artist and 2018’s Hell-On album is a gem. See for yourself at the Fonda. Nora O’Connor also performs.Case announced The Lung sub stack on 2o21, of which she said,“I’ve always been in love with nature. I have felt ‘outside’ of it for a long time though, which is wrong to me as I’m ‘in it’ more than a lot of people. I live in Vermont, a part known as “The Northeast Kingdom.” It’s a leftover name from some tourist campaign, but it sounds majestic, which this place really is! In my own personal world, I refer to the forest I live in as ‘The Lung.’ That name came quietly out of my feelings for the place, and it has no scientific basis whatsoever. It is affectionate shorthand. The Lung makes air, it cleans, it...

Star-studded ‘Into the Woods’ comes to S.F.’s Curran Theatre

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:17:35 GMT

There’s never a bad time to go “Into the Woods.”With catchy and intricate songs by Stephen Sondheim and a witty book by James Lapine, the 1987 musical is a magically funny, melancholy and touching mashup of beloved fairy tales, exploring what happens after “happily ever after.”But the production visiting San Francisco’s Curran Theater for a six-day run is something truly special, featuring the most of the actual cast of last year’s acclaimed Broadway revival, including at least nine members of the opening night cast such as Gavin Creel as Cinderella’s Prince and the Big Bad Wolf, Cole Thompson as Jack and David Patrick Kelly as the Narrator.“We have 95 percent of our Broadway company on the road,” marvels Montego Glover, who plays the Witch. “It is extraordinarily rare. It truly, honestly, never happens. We did a little research, and I think maybe the last time was in the ’30s, that a Broadway company pulled up stakes and moved with the show. These are limited engagements. We ...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:17:35 GMT

By Jennifer Korn | CNNReddit’s month may be going from bad to worse.Hackers from the BlackCat ransomware gang, also known as ALPHV, are threatening to leak 80 gigabytes of confidential data from Reddit that they claim to have stolen during a February breach, according to a post from the group on the dark web, which was reviewed by CNN and an independent cybersecurity expert.In their post, the hackers claim they first demanded a $4.5 million payout “for the deletion of the data and our silence” in April. After receiving no response, the group said it followed up on Friday with an additional demand: Reddit should withdraw a controversial new pricing policy that has sparked a protest from some of the platform’s most influential users.Reddit CTO Chris Slowe previously posted about a security incident that took place in early February. In the post, Slowe said the company’s “systems were hacked as a result of a sophisticated and highly-targeted phishing attack,” with hackers accessing “so...

With fur out of fashion, PETA sets its sights on wool, leather and down

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:17:35 GMT

By Sarah Kent | CNNWhen Ingrid Newkirk co-founded People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 1980, fur was a status symbol. “Everyone aspired to have a fur,” Newkirk recalled. “But that’s all gone now.”PETA has played a significant role in that shift, blending aggressive protest tactics — including throwing red paint — with media campaigns and corporate engagement to drag the fashion industry away from its use of fur.Calvin Klein was one of the earliest major fashion brands to go fur-free after PETA stormed its New York office in 1994. The same year, the group ran its famous ads featuring naked supermodels claiming they’d rather go naked than wear fur. Social media and a broader cultural conversation around ethical consumption helped all but complete the job: Gucci declared fur passé in 2017, and its parent company Kering went fully fur-free in 2021, joining a roster of luxury brands from Chanel to Versace.Fur still pops up on runways now and then, but it’s now illegal t...
