Comics, cactus, and canaries. Ok, maybe not canaries. Comics, cactus, and ravens.

My standard used to be that if a being was able to ask for rights, it deserved the equivalent of basic human rights.

Parrots' mimicry could potentially cause some problems with that standard, but not nearly as many as LLMs cause.

That just looks like standard aeration. People pay for landscaping companies to do that to their yard.

Officials have detected PFAS levels above federal guidelines in at least 15 water systems across NMβ€”including Albuquerque’s VA Hospital.

While the feds under this Administration are dismantling water quality standards, NM is acting to protect our waters. Because, water is life.

Iran may have killed as many as 20,000 people in the recent protests; Trump acted too late to reasonably expect an uprising.

I've known multiple people who've taken their christmas card photos there... in summer, which is insane. Way too hot to wear a sweater, even for 15 minutes, imo.

That would be very confusing!

This has bothered me for years, because previous radio controlled clocks would make the change sometime between 1am and 4am, and this was happening the night before, and always takes me by surprise.

I figured out why my radio controlled clock is always off by an hour the evening before a time change; it makes the change at 12:00am UTC. 🀷

PNM's stock sale to Blackstone: Illegal deal or 'standalone investment'? The attorney general, regulators and others believe a $400 million stock sale to a Blackstone holding company broke state law.

Advocacy groups and government agencies are demanding action from regulators in response to a massive stock sale by the parent company of Public Service Company of New Mexico to a private equity giant poised to acquire the utility.

Yep.

And sometimes my parents would say "I'll explain why later," and because they had a history of doing that, I'd accept that in the moment.

And "conversation" is an essential part. Lectures won't work.

My dad spent a lot of time talking to me about why something was a rule (or considered polite), including a memorable conversation that about why white lies were good even though other lies are bad.

And I am convinced that having those conversations with your kids is the best way to raise them.

How are we defining 'cool'? Because it may lead to the cool zone.

I honestly think this comparison is unfair to Fetterman; at his worst, Fetterman still isn't a white supremacist.

I am SO PROUD to introduce the Albuquerque Indian School Act, which will transfer almost 10 acres of federal land to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and NM’s 19 Pueblos.

This will support the IPCC’s work supporting indigenous communities and celebrate Pueblo culture, sovereignty, and resilience!

Some of them, possibly. But considering that Texas is still a long shot and the republican primary was contested, I would be surprised if it was even 10% of them.

Democrats crossing over to vote against Paxton is more likely, imo.

This. Appeals to unreliable voters vs energizes the base are both good strategies, and it is hard to know for sure which would win in November.

The fact that Talarico got votes from Republicans and Independent in the primary is a good sign for November, though.

An unplanned war with poorly defined goals.

Not to mention weeks too late for the protesters, and in the middle of negotiations.

Apparently people at Talarico HQ have been told not to go home yet, so 🀞 he's doing this now, and not declaring victory.
