Increase in Nz stickers on the streets?
Has anyone else noticed a lot of white supremacist/nazi/racist/homophobic stickers trying to recruit people in the city lately? I’ve seen a lot near Coors Field and it’s extremely upsetting.
I try to take them down or draw over them with sharpie if I can but I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed this uptick in fascist tags everywhere.

An Aurora dentist charged with fatally poisoning his wife last year is now accused of asking his daughter and another person to help cover up the crime, court records show.
James Craig, 46, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Angela Craig, 43, who died March 18, 2023, from lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in over-the-counter eyedrops.
Investigators allege James Craig bought arsenic and cyanide days before his wife was poisoned to death, searched online about how to poison someone, was having an affair and faced financial difficulties.
Prosecutors on Wednesday outlined two new charges against Craig — two counts of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence — in an amended complaint filed in Arapahoe County District Court. The charges will become official once a judge approves the amended complaint.
In addition to first-degree murder, he is now also accused of attempting to persuade one of his daughters to tamper with physical evidence in order to facilitate a crime between March 18, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the amended complaint states.
He is also accused of attempting to persuade a second person to cover up evidence between March 18, 2023, and June 15, 2023, the complaint states. The document does not include any additional detail on the nature of the requests, and the second person’s connection to Craig was not immediately clear.
Craig was booked into the Arapahoe County Detention Center at about 9 a.m. March 19, 2023, and has remained in jail since.
“James Toliver Craig unlawfully and feloniously commanded, induced, entreated or otherwise attempted to persuade [name redacted] to commit the felony of tampering with physical evidence, with intent to promote or facilitate the commission of that crime and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent,” the complaint reads.
James Craig pleaded not guilty to his wife’s murder and is scheduled for a jury trial in August. The couple were married for more than two decades and shared six children, according to Angela Craig’s obituary. An attorney for the children, Lara Baker, declined to comment Thursday.
Authorities believe James Craig poisoned his wife to death by first dosing her with arsenic, which sent her to the hospital, and then dosing her with cyanide.
He ordered arsenic from Amazon.com on Feb. 27, 2023, police allege. He received the package on March 4, and two days later, his wife was admitted to a hospital with symptoms that aligned with poisoning. She was released that day, but returned to the hospital on March 9 and stayed through March 14, 2023.
A blood sample taken March 9 showed she had toxic but not lethal levels of arsenic in her blood. While she was hospitalized, James Craig ordered two additional poisons — cyanide and oleandrin — from medical suppliers, according to an arrest affidavit. (He never received the oleandrin because the package was intercepted by police.)
The cyanide was delivered March 13, 2023. Two days later, on March 15, Angela Craig returned to the hospital with additional symptoms, authorities said. She then suffered a heart attack, was placed on a ventilator and her condition rapidly deteriorated until her death on March 18.
James Craig used a communal computer at his workplace in Summerbrook Dental in Aurora to search for information on poison in the weeks before Angela Craig’s death, police allege. The searches included: “how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human,” “Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy,” “Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play,” “how to make poison,” and “The Top 10 Deadliest Plants (They Can Kill You),” according to his arrest affidavit.
An attorney for James Craig, David Beller, did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.

The only constant is change, remembering the old spots in Boulder at the Dark Horse saloon brings back memories
These were my reflections on the Dark Horse Saloon in Boulder. Roger Ebert, a writer who I admire and who influenced my life in a big way, would hold court at the Dark Horse when he was in town for the Conference on World Affairs. I will be sad to see it go, so I thought I'd put down a few words while I still had time.

Anyone have any experience with any of the wireless home internet options?
I have Comcast, but my deal for the last two years recently ended just in time for me to also start having hour+ long outages multiple times per week. I'm curious about my options, and specifically I wonder how viable wireless options like Verizon or T-Mobile are. Are the speeds consistent (and high) enough for video conference? Video streaming? I don't really game so I don't think latency is that important for me.
I live in the Cheesman/Cap Hill area and have one of those hideous green Verizon 5g poles right outside my building, but the eligibility checker on Verizon's site thinks it may not be in range for me somehow so I wonder how fragile it is.
I have Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) with no issues at home but I guess I'm not really stressing the throughput on my phone.

You have until Feb. 27 to offer feedback on the changes.
> Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure formed a committee to “review and refine Sidewalk Ordinance 307,” according to a statement from the agency. The group has been meeting twice a month since August to hammer out the finer details of the ordinance.
> Now, the committee is proposing three big changes to the ordinance to address community concerns over high fee assessments and how they might affect lower-income homeowners, how the measure conforms to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and to make sure DOTI can implement a working program to build, fix and repair sidewalks throughout the city.

Best Cinnamon Roll in Denver?

Do you have a favorite cinnamon roll in Denver? The first two places that make them that come to mind are Izzio and Right Cream (on the weekend). Izzio’s is tasty but way too soft and fluffy. I need my rolls to have a bit more bite to them.

Can I watch Avs Games with an Antenna?
Pretty much title. I haven't had cable in a decade, and I'm not really a sports person, so I'd really rather not have to sign up for some sports streaming package, but I do kinda like watching Avs games. A friend asked me why I didn't just get an antenna to watch the games, but the broadcast TV page on the Denver Post doesn't look like they actually carry Avs games. Just wondering if I missed something.
