Here is a selection of comments on stories posted by the Times-call on its Facebook page Feb. 3-9.

Longmont-area cone zones for Feb. 4-10

MAX CAMPANELLA >> Is this the one that will “come on line and be served in late 2023”? The weirdest thing about this is that CDOT remembers that Longmont exists.

Tee Cee’s Tip for Monday, Feb. 5, 2024

STEVEN SOUTH >> Ask your guests how they think you should make it a zero waste party. Trust me, it’ll work perfectly, because no one will go to your party, making it 100% waste free.

STONER STEVES >> Interesting question for sure.

JAMES HERRING >> Do real people ask these questions? And if so, why?

Gun control was once ‘electoral kryptonite.’ Now Colorado Democrats are emboldened — and prepared to act.

SCOTT BARKER >> “Only cops should have guns, they’ll protect us”! “Defund the police. We can’t trust them not to kill us”! Which is true?

JAMES HERRING >> Guns are bad. Mmkay?

Nextlight recognized among ‘Best Tech Brands for 2024’

ZACHARY SYLVESTER NASON >> Yet can’t cancel when one says and tries to charge them for their oversight. Then refuses to budge on it.

THOMAS ANDERSEN >> Well deserved, Nextlight!

JORDY TEE >> Nothing but trouble with them.

PAMELA FRANCH HORA >> It blows my mind that there are Longmont residents who still don’t use Nextlight. It is by far the best internet service and all at a very reasonable price! Nice work, Valerie Dodd and Nextlight team!

JUSTIN SAYEP >> At $69.95/mo, Nextlight is $20/mo cheaper than what the town owned Trailblazer Broadband of Estes Park wants for 1 gig service.

‘The end of an era’: Longtime Camera and Times-call editor retires after 45 years on the job

SYLVIA SALAS-AGUILAR >> A treasure.

CU Boulder to offer first master’s in gender and sexuality studies in Colorado

ALYSSA BUST-HER BROWN >> They have that. It’s called “biology.”

MARK TRIPPENSEE >> Course title: “How to buy 10 more years in your parents’ basement.”

THOMAS LAWSON >> I feel that only a few commenters actually read the article.

JIM PEREZ >> Unusual sure, but clearly there is a lot to learn these days. Nobody is forcing anyone to enroll, btw.

SHER SCHNEIDER >> Ridiculous!

BRIAN RIDDLE >> Another useless degree to get student loan forgiveness for down the road! Sounds like a great opportunity and another reason to tell my kids not to go to CU!

GRACE LONG >> Hot take apparently: Why is everyone so pressed about this? You don’t have to pay for the degree and go study gender and sexuality if you don’t want to, why belittle someone else for doing it? If they’re paying that much for their own tuition, nobody else should really have an outspoken opinion on what they choose to learn.

BRANDON ROTHE >> (Cue) Trumphumpers crying.

Longmont woman reportedly attempts to stab police officer

JORDY TEE >> This town is so embarrassing sometimes.

Home listings up across region; Boulder median price nears $1.5M

DAVID SVRJCEK >> Whoa.

Supreme Court arguments begin in landmark case seeking to kick Trump off ballot over Capitol attack

KAREN BENKER >> Thank you, Norma Anderson! You have courage and integrity. Rare these days. I remember your good work in the state legislature for transportation funding. Your legacy lives on.

JIM PEREZ >> Makes me wish I would have lent my yacht to a few of these judges.
