#Frijoles #fire near Nambe north of #SantaFe #NewMexico this afternoon. Now over 2000 acres after doubling overnight.

Ok how about this for a science experiment? 7-10 days ago we noticed someone had thrown a bag of chips out of their car onto our property. Chips scattered near open bag. We left everything alone overnight to see what the animals / bugs would take. Over a week later, STILL ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TAKEN! 🤷♂️ #traderjoes #santafe #newmexico

Oh, that sounds bad. Aren&#39;t &quot;reginos&quot; very expensive to replace? #bluesky

I will never not be baffled by #NewMexico drivers, men and women, old and young, who come up from behind, speeding, and without hestation glide over the double-yellow line, pass, and speed on down the road. The Age of Unaccountability touches everyone, not just oligarchs—and everyone’s loving it.

Umm… did Bluesky not pay their bill or something? Site’s unusable and the status page is banned?!

#Bluesky should have a Mastodon account, so it can monitor the thousands (millions?) of users who can&#39;t use Bluesky because it&#39;s down / broken / whatever. What a bunch of clowns.

@noy There are some who would argue #Hawaii IS another country, still, and it was the US that just flat-out stole it with the backing of armed Marines in the late 1880s, and they’re still mad as hell

Powerful, inspiring, absolutely infuriatng #documentary about a free-spirited Iranian woman running for election and winning in her village—and all the lazy-ass no-good violent patriarch dudes who will stop at nothing to prevent her from getting things done. Could be America in a generation or less. See this. #movie

Passed by the entrance to Epstein’s NM ranch today. Guy in black, standing in front of black car behind the gate, video-recording passers-by. #epstein #newmexico

Absolutely BLOWS MY MIND that the four-trillion-dollar #Apple corporation doesn&#39;t care to fix what would have been a company-destroying bug 20yrs ago but today is considered contrary to acceptable business strategy, namely, moving one&#39;s owned MP3 files from one&#39;s Mac to one&#39;s iPhone, which causes the iPhone&#39;s music library data to be trashed. Incredible! How dare a customer not use our STREAMING service! We are sooooo forever past &quot;rip mix burn...

A high-level politician in #NewMexico told me yesterday that every time the price-per-barrel of #oil goes up by another $1, the state of New Mexico, which gets royalties on the 800+ million barrels produced annually, makes an additional $50 million. The war on Iran is fantastic for New Mexico.

Ok well PROJECT HAIL MARY imho turned out to be a very mixed, very messy bag. I’ll put it this way: 1.0 unit of PROJECT HAIL MARY = 0.001 units of THE MARTIAN In a word: INTERFELLER. 🤷♂️ #movies #projecthailmary

Glaring continuity error in PROJECT HAIL MARY? Gosling is at a table in a meeting. His wire-rim glasses barely dangling on one ear. He&#39;s talking to the woman in charge of the PHM project. Cut to him. Her. Him. Her. Him. Her. In one of the him shots, NO GLASSES. Then, they&#39;re BACK. 👀 #movies #projecthailmary

Didn’t realize a) you can see the infamous Epstein Ranch in New Mexico right from the road and b) that on the 7000+ acre grounds there was a private airfield (duh, of course there would be, better for criming!) 🤷♂️ (“violaters”?) #epstein #newmexico
