Not sure if this is due to poverty and local food production or just good luck, but hooray New Mexico!

Amazing these were critical for so many years. Haven't cracked a one of them in over a decade.

Two dozen or so programming and software architecture books sit on a bookshelf.

Sure, let right-wing billionaires control the media. They "won't change a thing". Like everything out of Trump's and Republicans' mouths, it's a lie.

Jeff Bezos is shown behind two Washington Post headlines. One is saying the Texas redistricting is nothing to worry about, "The Texas Gerrymander Freakout". The other is saying the Virginia redistricting is gerrymandering and the end of democracy, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss".

Trump Regime standing alone against the world. Voting no against protecting humanitarian personnel.

UN voting board. Resolution title: “Safety and security of humanitarian personnel and protection of United Nations personnel.” The vote total: IN FAVOUR: 153. AGAINST: 1. ABSTENTION: 6.

The USA is the only NO vote.

These terrible Restoration of America people. Keep sending me questions and polls, but every time I reply, they unsubscribe me...

A text message chain. The first message: "Voice your opinion! In less than 10 words, tell us what you'd like to see from the Trump administration in 2026. From Restoration of America. STOP2END" The reply: "Prosecution of the entire administration for all of their corruption, crimes, and inhumane acts". The response: "You have successfully been unsubscribed from Restoration of America 501c4 New Mexico. You will not receive any more messages from this number. Reply START to re"

Big pot of green chile stew for the weekend! Daughter made corn pottage last night. Winter is coming, sure, but we've got soups and stew!

In Trump's Bizarro World, everything is backward. Lies are Truth. Taxes are Income. Failure is Success. Surveillance is Freedom. Cruelty is Love. Evil is Good.

AI generated image of Superman fighting Bizarro who looks suspiciously like Donald J Trump, even though AI ostensibly can't create images of public figures.

I VOTED! ¡YO VOTE!

Two voting stickers from Santa Fe County. They both have the text "I voted! ¡Yo Voté!" The top one shows a roadrunner, a yucca plant, and the Zia symbol. The bottom one shows a stylized pueblo silhouetted against a blue sky.

Just sayin'

An old school poster made by Institute for American Democracy, Inc. It looks to be ca. 1950 or so. Superman is standing in front of of a group of teenagers and children, saying, "... AND REMEMBER, BOYS AND GIRLS, YOUR SCHOOL - LIKE OUR COUNTRY - IS MADE UP OF AMERICANS OF MANY DIFFERENT RACES, RELIGIONS AND NATIONAL ORIGINS. SO..."

... if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin - don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.

HELP KEEP YOUR SCHOOL ALL AMERICAN!

Corporate news framing of Zohran Mamdani's chances of winning... The actual article? Chance dropped on one site, improved on another. The buried lede? It dropped from 90% to 88%. *eye roll*

What book have you bought the most copies of in your life? Deed of Paksenarrion. Any time someone asks for a fantasy with a strong female lead, I give my copy to them, then buy another. So good.

Reminded me of this guilty fave, Mimic (1997)

Still of the 1997 movie, Mimic, showing the human-looking mimicry of a giant evolved mutant cockroach.

Huh. Imagine that. If it looks like a duck and acts like a duck... (add this to the huge pile of duck similarities that the Republican Fascist Party is already sitting on)

Old newspaper clipping showing the top of an article.

Headline: Herr Goebbels Angered by Anti-Nazi Wit

Sub-headline: Comedians Banned For Humorous Remarks on Leaders

Copy: BERLIN, Feb 4 - U.P. - When Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels yesterday blasted Germany's cafe society he called it "society rabble and intellectual snobs," for laughing at comedians who make Nazi leaders the butts of their jokes. Goebbels then turned his anger upon the "society rabble" after announcing that five German actors had been banned from the stage for publicly rediculing (sic) Nazi party and state functionaries.
