They are ruining #ThePriceIsRight. They are now using AI for some of the prize reveals. They only have one model per show so there is less interaction with contestants and prizes. And I am sorry to say it but the male models are boring. They just stand there and clap.

Hmm, thought of the day. If AI is so great, why is the closed captioning so bad? So many mistakes, missed words and lines, etc.

VOTED! It was a HUGE ballot here in Colorado, and I spent quite a bit of time researching issues, but in the end, it wasn't hard to parse it all out. Thanks to the mail-in balloting here, I could fill out the FOUR pages at home at my own pace. Hoping for a blue tsunami. 🌊

Wow, Starbucks. What happened with your protein milk? My matcha latte is chunky and had a big blob of protein in it. I got home, put it in a coffee mug, added a little more milk and microwaved it thinking it would help thin it out. Didn't help. I am now drinking a chunky and congealed latte. 😩

If I can't decide how to vote on an issue, I should vote no, and keep things the same. If I don't like the way things are, then I should vote yes for the change. I am struggling w/ some local issues and this is where I have landed in my thought process. Thoughts? BTW, the Colorado ballot is insane!

“If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. We are who we are. I don’t believe that we should criticize and judge other people. I think we should be accepting and loving. We are all God’s children.” - Dolly

I buy one thing from Wayfair & I'm now being barraged with daily emails from them. It isn't just Wayfair either. Do I need to buy something from them every day, every week or every month? No. So what happens? I unsubscribe and never get a message again & they lose potential sales for being annoying

@hbomax.bsky.social Why isn’t there a way to mark an entire series as unwatched? I want to rewatch a series, but it keeps starting next episodes because it’s showing them as watched. I want to start over from the beginning. This seems like such a simple fix, and I’ve dealt with it for years.

Does the "press 1 for an agent to call you back, you will not lose your place in line" actually work? I don't think so. Same for chat bots. They are NEVER able to answer my question. Comcast's bot couldn't even give me their customer service phone number. Fun. Yeah, so much fun.

World Cup Tourists Are Giving Americans Exactly What We Crave www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/m... I enjoyed these videos. I now realize why. The US turned 250, but I didn’t feel like celebrating. When others from around the world found beauty and kindness when exploring my country, it felt good.

denverite.com/2026/06/18/a... I never thought I would have all the feels for what Mike Coffman is doing. If only more people would try to walk in another’s shoes before passing judgment.

Anyone else mourning the loss of 1st Bank today? It's hard to change banks after 40 years. Fingers crossed PNC doesn't let me down.

We Cut Off Our Toxic Daughter. Why Doesn’t Our Family Back Us Up? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w... I have three words, borderline personality disorder.

What the hell is happening at @cbsmornings.bsky.social Is Bari Weiss destroying this show too? I had to change the channel this morning. Elizabeth Hasselbeck? Creepy video promoting a children’s book?

@NYTimes A suggestion . . . I don't think missing a day of playing games should affect your streak. Life is busy and sometimes you just can't play a day or two of games. Starting over from zero doesn't seem appropriate. Missing a day (and catching up later) isn't the same as not solving a puzzle. 🙂

@netflix.com Why does it take almost a year and a half to make ten episodes of #VirginRiver

@cbscolorado.bsky.social I love the all female news at 4 pm every day!

@denvercenter.bsky.social I am very excited about the new season. Especially Book of Mormon. I loved it when it first came out and can't wait to see it again.

I wish I spoke more Spanish because I would have loved to understand the message more, but I still really enjoyed the half-time show. Love is more powerful than hate.

Why isn't ICE required to have arrest warrants? Most of this madness would go away if they were required to go to court, prove the need to arrest, and get a warrant. Nabbing people off the streets, going door-to-door looking for people that "look" a certain way isn't law enforcement. It's a gestapo.

Make it viral.

I really need this wind to stop in the Denver Metro! It is keeping me awake AGAIN. @bianchiweather.bsky.social

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

It’s a little early but I have already decided on my New Year’s resolution. I am not filling out any more surveys and am not complaining unless it is especially egregious. No one cares. Nothing changes. It is all crap these days and we either need to accept it or die extremely irritated.

I'm not sure how much longer I can stay on this platform. Not because of nasty posts or negative comments, but because I cannot handle the level of dysfunction, hate, and contempt in the world right now. Kindness was my mission for 2025. I will be extending it into 2026. It's the one thing I can do.

Someone is buying up American starter homes and pricing you out. But it’s not who you’ve been told. #EconSky #Housing #PolSky #RonanFarrow

Shouldn’t the Nobel Peace Prize be given to someone for their whole body of work not just one event?

If you live in: South Dakota Louisiana West Virginia Wyoming Tennessee Mississippi Alaska Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Brian Kilmeade’s comment about murdering the homeless has been mostly ignored in the face of the Jimmy Kimmel saga. Why is he still on the air? An apology doesn’t cut it in comparison. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I don't wish for bad things to happen to people. But I am making an exception. I hope every doctor who tells me I need to lose 20 pounds gains 40. I am doing all the right things but my body does not want to cooperate.

I needed to reorder furnace filters. The last time I bought them about a year ago they were $28 for a pack of three. Yesterday they were $43.

Just because we could all use a little beauty.

The whole immigrant detention/deportation thing is horrendous. But what makes it even scarier is the way they are disappearing people. No legal access. No ability for families to know what happened. No options. No basic humanity. They are treated worse than animals. How is this happening?

The problem w/ the tariffs (aside from obvious immediate economic consequences) is that once gone, prices won’t go back down in tandem. Companies will assume consumers are used to paying higher prices and will seize the opportunity to keep extra profits by offering only a token price reduction.

NEW: A newly declassified part of the Durham report shows republicans used a Russian-manufactured email as evidence that Hilary Clinton conspired with Russia. 😂😂😂 gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

#democrats Start talking about the names of Medicaid programs in each state. People are not aware their health program is Medicare. Examples: Kansas=KANcare Wisconsin=BadgerCare Oklahoma=SoonerCare Missouri=MO Healthnet Kentucky=KY Health Choices Georgia=Peach Care www.propel.app/blog/what-is...

I wonder how all of these ICE and other officials are going to feel when all of this is over? While they may be "forced" to do these jobs, they are not forced to be violent, disrespectful, mean, degrading, dehumanizing, and so much more. How do their family and friends feel about them right now?

Look what I found in my freezer! I don’t care that it is two years expired, I am eating it tonight-for the very last time. Discontinued. #TraderJoes

I just realized that I’ve been faking my gratitude. It was always couched with a negating factor. This sunset is gorgeous. But I wish it wasn’t so windy. I’m so grateful for a new job. But I wish I got paid more. No more! Going forward I’m going to be truly grateful. No more buts only thanks!

Been saying this for awhile, but will repeat it for emphasis: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Come on CBS, you can do better. It is actions like those you are taking that are leading us right into a fascist regime. We have been loyal to CBS News for most of our lives and would like to be able to trust your reporting now and in the future. How much freakin' money does one person need anyway?
