In light of the ongoing schism in the Catholic Church, the Pope has emphasized official doctrine on dietary laws: eating Minions IS permitted on any fasting day, as according to the Bible they are neither man nor beast

🌩️ July 8 is Albuquerque's climatological start of the monsoon! It's when the average daily dew point reaches 47°, the NWS threshold for monsoon conditions. It doesn't mean widespread rain starts today. It does mean this is typically when the true monsoon pattern starts. #NMwx

Really eery sky to the west in #ABQ. Is that smoke or a dust storm? Almost looks like virga coming down and smoke or sediment going up. @nws.noaa.gov @granttosterud.bsky.social #nmwx #abqwx #abqskies

No World Cup match today so VAR officials are roaming the streets, finding groups of children playing football in parks and viciously disallowing goals.

Signal needs a mute option between one and eight hours. Three hours is the perfect amount of time to mute the chat and lock in for a bit but in fewer than 8 hours I want to be sending and receiving all the memes with all of my little chats

This time of year always tests me: do I want to wear as little clothes as I can reasonably get away with because it’s 100 degrees or do I want to cover my skin as much as possible because the UV index is going to be 12? There is no compromise.

this is what happens when you get rid of the Department of Defense

Damn, didn’t know Pagliacci was in town.

If you’re already in line to speak to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes, stay in line!

23 year old "internet history" influencer in 2052: so uh, in today's vid we're discussing the 2020s niche social media site bluesky. now they had this term called "skeets," which was a reference to the practice of launching one's rivals into the air and shooting them with a rifle

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

to be at a state fair is to be praying over the county’s largest pig one minute, and then one left turn later start throwing up your fried oreos beneath a rickety roller coaster because an old women told you and your girlfriend how you’re gonna die. great america state fair simply lacks the sauce.

OH: ok but im not dressed to be sexy, im dressed to talk about the pope

gunfighter: this town isn't big enough for the two of us me: (rolling out comprehensive town expansion blueprint) sir how do you feel about bike lanes and a communal garden

Today’s date is Monday, June 29th. It is 22:40. I am fully expecting fireworks on: Thursday the 2nd (night before the day a lot of people get off), Friday the 3rd (it’s Friday!), Saturday July 4th (it’s the titular day!), Sunday July 5th (it’s the last hurrah!). Please save it for any of those, thx.

I’m on the Metro-North and there are two people with long-haired dachshunds in bags 10 feet away from each other and the two dogs are clearly aware of each others presence but the owners are not

Meekah’s colors are purple and yellow, but Jam Pack is jarringly in Blippi’s blue and orange, illustrating their power dynamic. While she echoes his presence in her accessory, he treats her like an accessory. In this essay, I will…

BOSTON HAS BECOME UNGOVERNABLE

Boston and Glasgow are working on a formal sister city agreement, citing the two cities' shared love of innovation, arts, culture and history (Henry Knox, of Dorchester Heights cannon fame, was a Scotsman). Hope to formally sign it on Tartan Day, next April.

You can listen to @alymay.bsky.social talk about Albuquerque Transit and the bus ambassador program on KUNM. Proud of the work and advocacy they do for transit in this city. Be nice! www.kunm.org/show/lets-ta...

people everywhere deserve transit that is accessible, frequent, and serves all their lives. We do not get from car dependency to there by pricing out existing riders, turning busses into police substations, or bemoaning the line that serves 30% of annual riders and does it while calming Route 66

There are several Lucilles and then it's Oops, All Gobs

CITY COUNCIL VICTORY: I said we needed more bio breaks and they added in a bio break. Democracy in action!!!!!

I also think that all traffic engineers should be required to walk, bike, or take public transportation to work.

great article by @alymay.bsky.social representing another perspective on disability and transit #NEISVoid

I am literally begging New Mexico to mandate that Donald Shoup's The High Cost of Free Parking be required reading to seek public office.

"Every comment section on a story about the bus becomes a nightmare cesspool of misinformation and hateful language towards transit dependent people...We accept our inability to prioritize bouncing our transit system back from the pandemic as a fact of life instead of the policy failure that it is."

If you follow @alymay.bsky.social, you've probably seen a lot of their transit advocacy. I think this piece illustrates fully the lived experience of a vital system operating below capacity to meet need. open.substack.com/pub/altheari...

One reason maybe a lot of us are less nativist than you is because it’s abundantly clear that it is always very wealthy other Americans who are going to come “take our jobs,” not a Guatemalan

Never was so inapt a name for what that company does

Spent last night thinking and learning about housing and homelessness from @jerusalem.bsky.social, saw a headline this morning about a 55% increase in homelessness in ABQ since 2007 per the latest PIT counts, and then I get this notification this morning. And there just aren’t fucking words.

Arguement is broadly against how community input processes distort this (who has the time, resources, incentive to show up.) Demsas "I still think people deserve housing even if they didn't come to this event." This is framed as voice in democratic process, but seems about exclusion from means.

My spouse just reblogged this on Tumblr & I have multiple moots who I know will enjoy this.

hey @heinrich.senate.gov: why did you vote to confirm this guy

You can tell Mayor Mamdani has the political rizz to unite America because, I, a lifelong Boston sports fan, just found myself muttering “my Knicks in five” to myself

Ran out of my usual lullabies to sing to the 1yo earlier and Red Sox Nation will be pleased to know that “Tessie” by the Dropkick Murphys is what came to mind and also, what finally got her sleeping 😴⚾️

It happened to me: I accidentally touched “open in Kindle” instead of Libby when borrowing an ebook I’ve been waiting on 😭

I made @atherton.bsky.social stop here on our move out west so I could take this picture

NCAR just won in court! A US district judge in Colorado has prohibited NSF from taking #NCAR apart, specifically in spalling off its supercomputing center in Wyoming. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Our earlier story on this and why it matters: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

The discourse about this on tumblr has been wild. Many non-American folks insisting that if there are roads, certainly they can walk to the stadium. Americans begging them not to, simply because DEATH and DISMEMBERMENT are possibilities. The consensus is that someone will get arrested or die.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

[Ms. Rachel et al singing the ABCs] 3yo: oh hey, they’re singing my song!

Oh no this is me re: my MacBook Air that literally fits in my purse in a pinch and my giant mapmaker machine that goes vrrrrrrm so fast and also RIP my shoulders

Free idea for publishers: supplying copies of nonfiction books called OnlyCites. Like you read the book from the library or sold or donated your paper copy back, but the citation list was so good, you’d pay to own a copy of it for future reference, but don’t need or want the whole book.

Overhearing @atherton.bsky.social explain what a “headliner” is to 3yo so he can explain why mommy is laughing so hard
