There is simply nothing better than when a person you despise makes a glaring mistake. Something small enough that it registers only with people who wish them ill (you), but also obvious enough to point to and say, “Yes, I’ve been right all along—they really are insufferable.” Maybe they made an off-color joke in a meeting, or posted a sappy anonymous quote on their Instagram stories, or committed the type of fashion faux pas that you’ve been avoiding for months because you are a maven of culture and wide-legged jeans. Taking joy in another person’s downfall is a sick little display of schadenfreude, sure. Except maybe it’s not sick? Maybe this guy just really sucks that much. Maybe if this guy starred in an early-aughts sitcom, it would be called Everybody Hates Criston, and that title would be incredibly literal.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

“Go home,” posts reader after reader. The comment streams of my articles about the migrants have a common refrain: “You’re not welcome here.” And much, much worse. I’ve had to shut down the comments on some of my articles due to downright hostile remarks. It occurred to me, however, that the migrants probably aren’t reading American news, which is published in English. Immigrant rights and housing advocate Amy Beck confirmed my suspicions. “No, I don't think they're aware because the majority don't speak English and don't follow local Denver news,” Beck said in an email. ”It's also not something I've ever mentioned to them. It's not important to me to point out haters. I'm usually talking with them about services and their rights. Also just helping them along their path. I've never discussed haters with them unless haters physically show up in a camp and we have to deal with them firsthand.”

Opinion: Anti-migrant comments, not limited to Denver, fall upon deaf ears
