RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

It's called The Sweet Smell of Sagebrush, published by Friends of the Old State Pen. It's beautifully written and gives you a fresh look at what life was like in the turn of the century towns of Cody, Laramie and Rawlins, but also what rural life was like being raised on a farm.

One of my favorite literary gems is a prisoner's biography that was found in a file cabinet at the Wyoming State Penitentiary. It was written by a horse thief (that story is amazing, especially after he gets out of prison and exacts his revenge). It covers a time between the late 1800's to 1909.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

Our labor rights suck. We work in an 'at will' state. You can be fired for almost any reason. There's no job security unless you have a contract or are unionized. Unionizing efforts are routinely retaliated against. You, Governor, are squarely in the corner of business and capital rights.

That whole story is actually crazy. Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence before the crash. He rendered assistance and called 911. After helping, he re-entered his vehicle, which was then hit at high speed.
