Matthew C. Packard, chief of the Colorado State Patrol, said in a news release. “We have to get to the place as a community where we value human life as much as our good time. Call a rideshare, plan on staying the night, make a plan to do anything but drive after drinking or using drugs.”The Colorado State Patrol and Adams County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrols of major traffic arteries throughout Adams County on the evenings of Friday and Saturday according to the news release.The two a...Broncos undrafted rookie Thomas Incoom didn’t eat the morning of roster cuts.

He said it was up to the man upstairs to answer his prayers. If that was indeed the case, consider his prayers were answered. Incoom was named to the active roster, joining an outside linebacker room that features Randy Gregory, Frank Clark, Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper.“It’s surreal,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “I just kept playing and hoping for a shot.

In the fall of 2021, John Bigley was sitting on the floor of an apartment in downtown Denver. He held a cup of psilocybin mushroom tea, trying to calm his nerves.For more than 30 years, he’d kept the sexual abuse he experienced as a child a secret, buried in the back of his mind where the abusers couldn’t hurt him. That’s also where he relegated the grief about his father, who died when Bigley was just 13.He’d kicked an alcohol addiction and tried counseling, but nothing restored his sense of self. In an effort to save himself and his marriage, Bigley hired a life coach to help him prepare for a different kind of treatment.“I want to find the freedom to feel again,” Bigley, 42, recalled saying in that apartment as he sat in a circle with about 10 other people, plus four sober facilitators assigned to offer support. They discussed their hopes for the impending journey.Then, Bigley and the others drank the tea dosed with three grams of dried mushrooms containing the psycho...California has the highest level of 'cancel culture' in America, study finds

With more celebrities than any other state, it might not be surprising to hear that Californians "cancel" more celebrities on social media as well, according to a new study.According to Merriam-Webster, cancel culture is defined as “the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.” A recent study by OnlineCasinos.com found that Californians are the quickest to “cancel” a star out of anyone in the country. The Golden State also had the highest unfollow rate of canceled celebrities, the study found, with 59% of those surveyed saying that they would unfollow someone who had been canceled – the highest in the nation – with the main reason being for “inappropriate social media actions.” California had the highest weighted score for overall cancel culture, the study found, with a score of 100. Golden State-based respondents also said that it would take them over a year to re-follow a canceled celebrity....Jandon Briscoe Injured in Hit-and-Run on Beaver Street [Santa Rosa, CA]
