So, it’s suing.An email requesting comment from Twitter’s public relations department was not answered. Instead, the department auto-replied to the email with a smiling poop emoji — the company’s standard response to media inquiries since March.Twitter moved to Boulder in 2014 when it acquired Gnip, a local data startup.

How much water is in an acre-foot — and how much do we need to save the Colorado River?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:54 GMT

While state and federal officials, farmers and the heads of Native American tribes, work intensely to conserve water from the drying Colorado River one term appears more often than probably any other: the acre-foot.That’s generally how water managers measure the vast quantities of water over which they’re negotiating. The Colorado River is so vast, its basin so populous, that officials are bartering to save millions of acre-feet each year.But what is an acre-foot?In short, it’s a volumetric measurement of water, enough to cover an acre of land with a foot of water. About 326,000 gallons or as much water as two average families of four use in a year to drink, clean dishes, wash their clothes, shower, flush their toilets and more. That statistic varies depending on location, however. Families in Las Vegas, for example, use less water each year than those in Denver.An acre-foot is enough to cover the football field of Empower Field at Mile High with about 11 inches of water. In B...

There’s Still Life in The Damned and Dictators

There’s Still Life in The Damned and Dictators: It would be interesting to know how many people were intending to go to see the Damned at the Belasco on Sunday evening but ended up having to go to the extra Cruel World night instead. It doesn’t seem like many in actual fact, because the room seems crammed full, at least towards the front. But the threat of lightning at the Rose Bowl forced Siouxsie, plus Iggy Pop and Gary Numan, to move their set to Sunday and there is surely some crossover.There was little chance of lighting inside this Downtown L.A. venue, but there were musical sparks thanks to the two veteran punk bands, both proving that there’s plenty of life in the old legs.The Dictators (Brett Callwood)New York’s the Dictators reformed a couple of years ago, without larger than life frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba. If Dick was the face, Andy Shernoff was the songwriting talent and Shernoff is still here, alongside guitarist Ross the Boss, former Blue ...
