Cops do more harm than good busting drug dealers, doctor tells Denver council

Yes, Dr. Sarah Axelrath of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless told the Denver City Council Monday. Axelrath, an addiction medicine specialist, said going after drug traffickers doesn’t make people stop using substances. In fact, she said it disrupts “an already potent and unpredictable drug supply.” Demand doesn’t go down after a bust. New players come to market who could be peddling an even more toxic product.

Tiffany Trump: The Apple That Didn't Fall Far From The Tree

I think we all know that there is something very off about the Trump dynasty, that sprawling American tragedy dressed up in Brioni suits and spray tans, where each act reveals fresh horrors that somehow manage to surpass the last. Donald Trump himself is a menacing wonder to behold on so many levels, a figure so cartoonishly malevolent that fiction writers would reject him as too implausible. Normally, one would argue that dragging politicians' children into the spotlight crosses an ethical line, after all, most didn't choose the glare of public scrutiny. But the Trump offspring? They don't just seek the spotlight; they sprint toward it with the desperation of moths to a flame.

7 Dishes That Filled Graduation Party Tables in the 1970s and 1980s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The open house ran from noon until the food was gone, which was usually the better measure. Someone put up a banner over the garage door, someone else hauled in folding tables, and by one o'clock there were thirty people in the backyard, holding paper plates. The graduate circulated with an envelope in each hand. The adults stood over the tables and ate.

7 Christmas Eve Dishes Different American Families Swore By

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. On December 24th, the question was never what to cook for Christmas Eve supper. It was already decided, usually before anyone in the house was born. In Texas, that meant tamales. In Minnesota, lutefisk. In New Mexico, a pot of posole that had gone on the stove that morning. Each family treated the meal as settled law, and each was absolutely certain their version was the correct one.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”

Rival Manufacturing introduced the first modern Crock-Pot in 1971, and within four years the company had sold more than two million units. The timing made sense. Women were entering the workforce faster than in any decade before it, and the promise on the box was real: put the ingredients in before you leave, set the dial to Low, come home eight hours later, and dinner is done.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.
