Cliches and thin storylines crash 'F1,' a Hollywood blockbuster from Warner Bros. engineered to make a boatload of money on the backs of stale formulas and the lowest common denominator, says Boulder Weekly's Michael J. Casey.

Written by Ehren Kruger and directed by Joseph Kosinski, F1 isn’t a movie; it’s a product placement bonanza.

Generations of Colorado backpackers have endured some truly revolting pre-packaged meals on the trails, only salvaged by the liberal application of hot sauce. But these days, the options are far more appetizing, nutritious and eco-friendly.

Some of the tastiest options come from companies based right here in Colorado. John Lehndorff sat down with these backpacking entrepreneurs to talk about the latest revolutions in dehydrated meals on the trail. Read the full story here:

This article was originally published by The Conversation in January 2024 and later updated to reflect the shifting dialogue around anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

Boulder Weekly is republishing this explainer amid a similar debate in Boulder over the actions and beliefs of the June 1 attacker.

Boulder City Council member Taishya Adams was harshly criticized for not signing a declaration condemning the attack as antisemitic, requesting instead that it be described as antisemitic and anti-Zionist. Other community members have also pushed back against the broad labeling of criticizing Israeli military action in Gaza as antisemitic.

The national NAACP is suing former directors and executive members of the organization’s Boulder County branch in the latest development in the conflict between the national and local organizations.

Executive members of the Boulder branch voted to dissolve the branch in March — something the national org says the local branch lacks the authority to do. The suit asks for a declaratory judgement that the branch has not been legally dissolved and for all the branch’s assets to remain with the national NAACP.

A Longmont city policy hit a snag with a council vote, leaving gray area for proprietors looking to open up cannabis hospitality businesses.

There are four licenses available for these establishments, much like Denver’s new Cirrus Social Club that opened earlier this year. The only problem in Longmont is, it's still illegal to operate one of these businesses.

Reporter Tyler Hickman dug into the hazy future for smoking lounges and pot spas in the city. Read the full story here:

At the June 26 meeting, Boulder City Council will discuss further changes to open comment, the period preceding regular business meetings in which members of the public can speak for two minutes on a topic of their choosing. The discussion was added to the agenda this week.

Council has faced disruption over the past several months as participants use open comment to speak on Israel’s ongoing military action in Gaza that has resulted in more than 54,000 Palestinian deaths. Meetings have been forced to pause several times, and council suspended open comment at its June 5 meeting, the first to follow the June 1 attack on a Boulder group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages.

Read about these developing efforts here ahead of this evening's council meeting:

In this edition of Ask a Therapist, Michele Goldberg answers the question "Am I q***r enough?"

You should not be made to feel like you have to question your q***rness, she says.

Queerness is not just about who you’re attracted to. It’s also about resisting conformity and disrupting binaries. And it’s the capacity for attraction, connection or self-identification, not a mandate to feel or pursue something continuously.

Read her advice for for how you can navigate visibility in a hostile climate, understand what community looks like, and belong without proving that you do.

'Queerness is not a test; it's a truth,' writes Michele Goldberg. 'Our q***rness is personal, but our liberation is collective.'

Opinion: Colorado teens aren't smoking less pot

In Colorado, a wide swath of politicians, regulatory agencies and industry representatives have seized on the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey as definitive proof that the legalization of cannabis in Colorado has led to a decrease in teen use.

However, parents and local addiction counselors that work with youth point to an exponential increase in cannabis use among teens, particularly of dangerous and untested high potency THC products.

Colorado’s young people are facing deadly health consequences as a result of this increased access and use, says Anna Segur. Read the full piece here:
