ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Jason, and It's about the new Taylor Swift movie. Here's the email:  Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I am a major Taylor Swift fan, which is not surprising, until you find out that I am a single 46-year-old man. I've just always loved her music and don't see it being any weirder than me liking the music of any other artist. Her fans are very possessive of her and sometimes are not nice to other fans. Despite knowing this, I went to the "Era's" movie at the theatre this weekend. I was going to take my niece, but she was sick and none of my other friends wanted to go with me, so I went alone. I knew I might get some looks, but the reaction was worse than I had expected. I actually had two women ask me where my family was. I also noticed that no one would sit near me in the theatre, and it was really packed. Was I so wrong to go to this movie by myself? D...

Do you have questions about psychedelics? The Denver Post wants to hear from you

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:04:44 GMT

Psychiatrist Humphry Osmond first coined the word “psychedelic” in the 1950s, using it to describe the mind-altering effects of substances like mescaline and LSD. He derived the term from the Greek word psykhē, meaning “mind,” and dēloun, meaning “show.” It’s been widely interpreted to mean “mind manifesting.”Coloradans have likely heard much about psychedelics in the last year since voters chose to legalize and decriminalize certain drugs at the ballot box in November 2022.RELATED: Here’s what psychedelics are, how they work, and why you need to know about themThe Natural Medicine Health Act legalized psilocybin and psilocin, which are compounds found in “magic mushrooms,” for use in therapeutic settings. Bolstered by new research that suggests psychedelics can be effective tools to treat mental health, the measure paved the way for so-called “healing centers” where locals aged 21 and up will soon be able to have a journey under the supervision of a licensed professional.Related Ar...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:04:44 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: Welcome back to the roundtable, gents! Denver’s mini bye is over after the Thursday night loss last week to Kansas City and now the Broncos are getting ready to host the 2-3 Packers as one-point, home underdogs. So much for a rejuvenating couple of days off.OK, ESPN NFL whiz Bill Barnwell recently put together a list of 15 trades to consider before the Oct. 31 deadline and four of them involved Denver. Impressive. One that seems timely given the infiltration of cheese heads this weekend into the Front Range is this one:Packers get: WR Jerry Jeudy, 2024 fourth-round pickBroncos get: WR Romeo Doubs, 2024 second-round pickWhat say you guys? It’s not a winning Powerball ticket, but I’m cashing this one in as soon as Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst says yes. A somewhat similar trade in the offseason featured the Jets trading receiver Elijah Moore and their third-round pick (No. 74 overall) to Cleveland in exchange for the B...

If not, who do they go after?— James Weber, DenverJames, the answer to your first question is no.Your second question is the question facing the Rockies as they head into the offseason. Colorado’s starting pitchers posted a 5.91 ERA, the worst in the majors and the second-highest in franchise history (6.19 in 1999 is the highest). Right-handers German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela underwent Tommy John surgery this past season, leaving the rotation incredibly thin.While the Rockies won’t sign any high-profile starting pitchers — Sonny Gray, Blake Snell, Julio Urias, etc. — they might pick up a pitcher or two on a minor-league deal and bring them to spring training. The most productive way to bolster the rotation wo...
