The Pokémon Company is in hot water after a miscommunication crushed one World Championships invitee’s dreams of attending the biggest international event of the year. On Aug. 6, South African Pokémon TCG player Josh Lillie posted on X (formerly Twitter), explaining his current situation regarding the World Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii next week (Aug. 16 to 18). According to the pro’s statement, Lillie was told by Play! Pokémon back in June that he’d earned a Travel Award to help pay for travel expenses to attend. This came as a surprise considering any qualified South African competitors were supposed to be excluded from receiving Travel Awards.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
