From the article. I'm seeing some badly-fitting uniformed, overweight white chud in wraparound sunglasses going "Here, just put your Jesus Cheez-its in this here tupperware container and my guards / capos will hand 'em out."

Yeah, sure, Mar'kwain. Let's just ignore 400 years of water law in NM. No biggie. Wonder if @heinrich.senate.gov is still proud of confirming his good buddy as DHS Secretary? Feckin' idjits, the both of them. I hope there's hard jail time for both of them, eventually.

Yeah, both of NM's senators are on my shit list for this, among many other reasons.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

The Heritage Apple Corps have found trees in central Oregon that are genetic matches for some of the rare "lost" apple varieties we find in the islands. With more sampling, both here and there, we hope to be able to properly identify these varieties and bring them back into production.

These 130-year-old Central Oregon pioneer apple trees are still bearing fruit

Apple trees planted by Central Oregon's first homesteaders 130 years ago are still producing fruit, and some varieties are so rare that DNA tests came back as unique.

Cats have seen how dumb the humans are and moved their plan to take over the world from "long game" to "active status," hmm? Because this was definitely Step 1: secure housing

🌧️ WHAT A FINISH to the 2026 monsoon in New Mexico! Most of this year’s rain fell in the final 2.5 weeks of September. NM finished with its 19th wettest monsoon on record. Santa Fe had its wettest on record, while Albuquerque had its 13th wettest! #NMwx

So he's worried about being investigated and prosecuted and run out of office, thus decided to revisit the case that might actually have some precedent for doing so, is how I'm reading this. Or it's a useful "ooh, look at the shiny keys!" distraction by his handlers. Either one.

I'm glad that it's finally quit raining here, too. Stupid weather gods, out here trying to make up for all 4 months of missing monsoon season in 2 weeks... What the heck, dudes?!

It's the other way around: Reality has gotten Onionized. I blame it all on the Chicago Cubs breaking that curse and winning the World Series in 2016. That jumped us off the main timeline and into this abomination.

Now there's a name and an image I haven't thought about in a long time. Howard was a treasure. I remember how he used to draw warm / cold fronts and little smiling faces on a NM map, before the advent of green screens and radar imagery. And that smile!

So, quick question: how many of us have ginger kitties who sleep with their eyes open? And more importantly: Why the heck do they do this?!

An orange tabby cat is sleeping on a kitty bed, head inverted against the raised edge, with his eyes slightly open. You can't hear him, but he is snoring slightly.

@granttosterud.bsky.social That was SOME storm that rolled over central NM last night. I was on I-25 driving south about sunset and from the winery to about the Sevilleta exit S of Bernardo, everything was heavily flooded. Wondering how much rain you've seen reported from that area.

So? What does he care? Doesn't affect him, and he's already notorious for not paying his contractors so he certainly won't be paying their bonds and legal fees. This is all the equivalent of one of Schumer's strongly-worded letters. 🙄

I was wondering why NM was suddenly on his radar; it seems that the state government is examining options for mail-in ballot availability via UPS or Fedex and that kind of thing would certainly be enough to raise his hackles.
