Also worth noting, science confirms no such thing. There’s debate about exactly when life begins (medical ethicists and scientists know more about this than me), but it sure as shit isn’t “about 1 second after conception."

I can't believe you actually sat through it. I want to say good for you, but I think instead I should ask: Are you okay?

These articles have been great and I actually started watching the WCs and playing chess again because I read them. Thanks, Ben. Looking forward to your final recap.

You’re right, perhaps I’m defining quality a bit narrowly. And don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled with these guys. The top line is incredible. I haven’t enjoyed the team this much since I was a kid.

You've depressed me even further. Thanks for the stats, at least.

The top line makes it fun to be an Avs fan right now, but you really nailed it with the last paragraph. The rest of the team is largely unremarkable. Unless they find more scoring, it will be an uneven season.

I agree, not sure why it gets so much hate. I'll toss it on at work every so often. Sure, it isn't revolutionary, must-listen stuff, but it isn't exactly harmful either.

“It was—and is—for those looking to be constantly reminded that they are Good and Trump is Bad.”

Thanks. I missed your primer by a few minutes, it seems.

2015 grad here, did I miss CREAC? What’s CREAC?

Can’t help but feel like we dodged a bullet here in Denver. This city is already becoming unbearably expensive and crowded (I know, Seattle residents, you have it worse, etc.). Last thing we need are 25k new corporate bros on e-scooters.

So if Scott’s lead ends up holding after the recount, I assume these same people will recognize that there was no actual conspiracy, right?

In Splinter's case, trolls = people who disagree with our bloggers.

Totally get it. I was only trying to help explain to the other commenter why Walker sucked. The damage has indeed been done, and it took eight years before the people of WI decided to stop hitting themselves in the groin. I'm certainly not going to throw them a parade.

Any time. Apologies for the dose of sarcasm at the end.

Walker was behind Act 10, which crippled unions and diminished collective bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin. I’d say that’s probably what he’s most known for. He also helped enact voter ID laws and made Wisconsin a right to work state.

I’m a native and every cycle I have to snap myself back into realizing that nobody will vote for tax hikes. I am also disappointed that one didn’t pass, you aren’t alone.

I do quite enjoy our system here. I never really enjoyed waiting in line, and dropping off at a ballot box still brings some small joy.

Thanks for this. I'm a Nuggets homer but even so, Kyrie comes off pretty salty.

Are you confusing Mary Matalin and Marlee Matlin, or is that the joke?
