This is how you do it, Sam and Clarence.

We used to have season tickets to our local University's women's basketball games. This was back in the 1990s, and my husband and I would usually go to the games with a friend of ours.

One night after the game the three of us went out to dinner, and were excited to see a handful of the players sitting at a nearby table. In our enthusiasm, we asked our server to let the women know that we would gladly treat them to dinner. Once the message was delivered, one of them--a starter and one of my favorite players--came over to our table. She thanked us for our offer, but declined, as it was against NCAA rules for them to accept such gifts from fans. We were appropriately embarrassed, but these young women were very kind, and chatted with us for a few minutes before we all resumed our evening.

Now, perhaps Sam and Clarence do not have the requisite training in ethics afforded to college basketball players, but I know of a few women who could teach it to them with class and dignity, and who could then kick their asses in some two-on-two.

Yeah, Wayne Williams is a piece of garbage, but Yemi Mobolade might be worse. He is an openly homophobic religious bigot. CS might not be as racist as the rest of the country, but they do LOVE their religious zealots who hate--and I mean HAAAAATE--LGBTQIA+ people.

That's a LOT of people.

An incomplete list:

Gun manufacturers
Gun dealers
The NRA
The GOP
Any legislator who has ever voted against gun control
Most of SCOTUS and a bunch of other judges
And, oh yeah, Francisco Oropeza

I've not always been a Polis fan, but he's doing some good stuff.

Codifying abortion rights and making Colorado a "safe haven" for people who want gender-affirming care are among my political priorities, and apparently among his as well.

I never liked that he bought his way into politics, but I'm happy that he turned out to be a pretty good legislator and governor.
