Attorney in the West. Nuggets & Avalanche fanatic. Occasional transhumanism enthusiast. Rabid supporter of Colorado SB24-171: Restoration of Wolverines.
His family said he suffers from Schizophrenia & hasn’t had access to his medication since he got out of prison, which would help explain his erratic behavior. It’s an absolutely disgusting system we have & I am not going to pretend this is funny or that he deserved any of this.
Trent Reznor essentially invented Industrial Metal by himself, leads one of the world’s most successful rock bands, played the banjo on Old Town Road, produced multiple Oscar winning soundtracks & MAGA is like “The guy who said, ‘I wanna fuck you like an animal?’ Irrelevant.”
Boulder, Colorado is like if you took all of the worst stereotypes conservatives have about the left, all of the worst stereotypes socialists have about liberals, and the worst stereotypes liberals have about socialists, and then were left with a product that is somehow worse.
I accidentally filled up my tank with ethanol free gas & am getting 38 MPG… This country really needs to tell most corn farmers to get a real job (like producing something that doesn’t require subsidies). I wouldn’t be surprised if ethanol is actually worse for the environment.
Punitive justice is infinitely easier than rehabilitative justice. You just throw the book at people and never bother to read any part of the story besides what was accepted as evidence. I don’t believe every person can be rehabilitated but we do. not. even. try. Saddening!

“Public school victims,” I type as I ask my mom if she’s overheating my hot pockets or just not bringing them over to me while I’m working.
The American intelligence community explaining to Ukrainian military officials that Russian soldiers are actively updating their tracking location data on Grindr.
3 years ago today my cat returned after running away during my 2L Spring finals and I emailed my professor SEVEN HUNDRED AND TEN words explaining exactly that. Why my law school didn’t use the chance to immediately expel me and send me on my way is beyond me lmao. Too late now!😅
Today is a historic first as Patrick Leahy becomes the first cast member from Batman: The Dark Knight to preside over an impeachment trial of a cast member of Home Alone 2/WrestleMania 23/someone not allowed to use Twitter/an ex-president.
“We’re not intimidated by thugs!”
Ohio is the most fascinating US State. The actual state itself is an absolute trash pit but everyone I’ve met from there is extremely attractive, well educated & for some reason they all went to Catholic school but don’t really identify as Catholic.
They’re exporting their best.
LOL Pete Ricketts bankrolled the campaign for his replacement as Nebraska Governor & is now going to be named to take the Senate seat for outgoing US Senator Ben Sasse. Sir, the only seat you deserve is Rod Blagojevich’s old one in a Colorado prison. The FBI needs to review this.
That being said, I somehow fucking love Boulder? Almost moved there for law school after the Chainsmokers dropped that song with Halsey but did not want to pay $80k per year when Nebraska was free. My favorite aunt lives there. But it’s basically gotta be a day-trip place for me.
Hundreds of tickets reselling for Skrillex at Red Rocks for a show that went on sale 20 minutes ago that I’m still in line for… Seriously, guillotine the scalpers. These websites serve no valuable function to society.
As much of an absolute embarrassment as the lack of coverage of what’s going on in Nebraska should be for most national news organizations, let’s talk about the incredible work
@theindependent
@JournalStarNews
@OWHnews
and other local sources are doing to keep us informed.
If Kris Kobach wins the Kansas GOP Senate primary, he’ll lose the general election and Kansas will have gained a Democratic House Representative, a Governor, and a Senator in just 2 years, making Kansas a swing state. I don’t make the rules folks, I just call balls and strikes.
Anyone who scores in the 40th percentile on the LSAT & blames anyone but themselves for not getting into law school clearly wasn’t cut out for it anyways. Good luck at life!

I think I ate a $5 footlong an average of 4-5 times a week my sophomore year of college. 💀
But the egg white breakfast sandwiches were still $5 so it was a huge win.
@MattHansenNE
2x UNL alumnus & I moved away from Nebraska before I even graduated law school because politicians in the state would rather see me dead than thriving because I use cannabis to treat my Tourette’s. I don’t want to commit a felony a day to stay alive, for starters.

@JakeAnbinder
That doesn’t mean you aren’t upper-middle class and that’s kind of proving the driving point behind his argument, which is that we have a growing upper-middle class that has the perception its poor because of the cost of housing most places.
Alright, yeah, the President is old. But whenever I am like “Woah, is Uncle Joe okay?” after seeing a viral clip, I kindly remind myself he’s been doing this for decades and nobody thought it was a huge deal then.
@InlandCaGuy
It is inevitably going to be an expensive town by design but it’s now comedically expensive because it’s impossible to get anything built there.
I don’t have any major announcement or anything but the family photographer we got last night was cool with getting individual shots. I think I look like I’m about to win a public school board race in a landslide.
Quick story I was told by a student at University of Nebraska last night. He was in his ‘Philosophy 110: Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking’ class yesterday and the professor warned the students not to attend the Dave Rubin event on campus.
Orcs in Tolkien’s universe were primarily known to outsiders as intellectually feeble but the use of the phrase “Looks like meat’s back on the menu boys!” in The Two Towers implies at least the Uruk-hai were keenly aware of economic scarcity, gender and perhaps even social class.
Do you know what a "bottle night" is?
Probably not, because my gf and I invented it during a 2023 blizzard in Buffalo, NY.
We lock our phones away, turn the TV off...
Each grab a bottle of wine, and talk.
That's it, we simply talk and enjoy each other's presence.
We live
Public Defenders— please, for the love of God, tell me the state or county you’re in pays for all of your arbitrary, bullshit fees associated with licensing (renewal, CLE credits, etc.). PLEASE!
Thinking about the time I called Julie Sl*ma’s office to see if she was in fact still a law student & then asked if she had taken Constitutional Law I or II bc she introduced some wildly unconstitutional bill & she got so mad that she personally called me back to yell at me. LMAO
It’s so sad there is a federal government induced Adderall shortage. If I was in charge of things, you’d only see headlines like “Adderall Surplus: Manufacturers can’t stop making Adderall. CEO says, ‘Holy shit, what are we going to do with ALL this Adderall?!’”
@MattHansenNE
But there’s no amount of progress or law the legislature can just adopt over the next 1-5 to even 10 years to get people who grew up feeling like outcasts to move back once they move to places where people are actually nice. Nebraska needs a complete overhaul outside the cities.
Do I have even some semblance of a functioning sleep schedule? No.
Did I just wake up? Perhaps.
Did I pass the February 2020 Colorado Bar Exam? Check for yourself. 😎
The Rural Broadband Cowboy is BACK after an extended hiatus! Today I accepted a Contract Administrator position at the nation’s largest fixed-wireless provider so I will be remaining in the Denver area as I test out both my business and legal acumen in telecommunications.
This Wednesday will mark the 25th anniversary of the tragic death of John Denver. The world not only lost one of the greatest Coloradans of all time (who inspired thousands to move here) but a generational talent in music, activist, humanitarian, father, and nature enthusiast.
Boys with ADHD will have 63 open Incognito tabs open in Google Chrome with nothing but searches for things like “1954 Guatemalan coup d'état”, “Alec Baldwin news”, “Blue Monday (New Order song)”, “NBA Power Rankings”, “War of the Second Coalition” & “What does Moshi Moshi mean?”.
I met a girl from Tinder who is from Colorado & also spending the pandemic in small town Kansas & anyways, we met at the small town BLM protest & she also only lives a few houses away, has a pool & kombucha, & we have the same birthday???? Anyways, Kansas is going fine.
As one of your young constituents, it’s about Nebraska’s notably low wages that now lag behind the low cost of living. At the end of the day, my friends in Denver, ATX, KC, and elsewhere have more money at the end of the year than those who stay.
Tell our governor that. Half my constituency is students and I have been telling him and others that for the last five years. We lose most of our college grads to higher tax states! Go figure.
I own a corn chain & 1/4 of the apparel in my closet mentions corn. My first job? Picking corn. Some merely adopted the corn game but I was born on the cob.
One of my favorite fun facts is that after WWII, J. R. R. Tolkien made a trip to the United States and ended up visiting Colorado, which became the inspiration for the legendary Middle Earth scenery such as the Misty Mountains in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
We probably need a massive overhaul of the American “non-profit” organization system. I think this is my actual, serious benign & likely unpopular opinion.
what is your most benign unpopular opinion? i don’t mean like “the earth is flat” type of unpopular opinion, i mean like “I think golden retrievers are annoying” unpopular opinion
I am rabidly pro-sex work… but I simply cannot imagine how bad things would have to get in order for me to sell nudes in order to watch the Dallas Stars get bounced in the first round of the playoffs (unless they end up playing my team).
Whoever decided the City of Denver should conduct an overwhelmingly popular e-bike rebate program to combat climate change might also want to get in touch with the folks at RTD, who currently prohibit bringing an e-bike when riding the light rail system.
Satanic Panic will never not be funny to me. They’re scared of Sam Smith and Kim Petras? 😂
I grew up during the height of Marilyn Manson & Slipknot and witnessed the election of Ted Cruz.
I am still laughing that multiple people approached my friends at the show on Friday and asked them if I was some “sort of undercover cop/Fed” because of this fit.
