Returning from Santa Fe National Forest.

Heading up to Santa Fe National Forest.

An impressive cloud pinks up over Santa Fe, New Mexico

Diarrhea Caligula with his bullshit plastic bric-a-brac.

Jimmy loves Taco Tuesday even when it gets bumped to Wednesday.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

If you honk your horn at a red light to encourage me to hurry up and take a right turn at a red light you are gravely mistaken. I’d rather die than do that now.

The Albuquerque sky says trans rights are human rights.

October 21st is international Back To the Future day, I love that film, but it should be October 26th because that's when he left... and it's my birthday... coincidence or evidence of me being part of some secret shadowy organisation of time travellers? I deny everything. ;)

Car parking

[Night. A fall thunder storm moves off up the Rio Grande Valley] Me telling my voting-age child how to spoon carne adovada onto tortilla chips: “That’s too big! Just press on it and it’ll break into nice little pieces.” Child: “Why would I live on my knees when I can die on my feet?”

A huge component of imposter syndrome is overestimating how qualified everyone else is.

[Gazing into the mirror for my daily affirmation] “A large part of Alaska’s commerce is my peculiar burden.”

Last night I dreamt that the film “Five Easy Pieces” is about Jack Nicholson helping a friend load some fairly light pieces of furniture into a U-Haul. Not kidding. My sleeping brain is a jackass.

A happy Pride/No Kings march to everyone, but especially to the stars, cast, and crew of the cinematic masterpiece The Mummy (1999)

Parked near the massive No Kings protest yesterday in downtown Albuquerque. Clearly an Antifa staff vehicle.

Trump could literally grow a Hitler mustache, and his supporters would still say we're the bad guys for questioning it

Gorilla protesters keeping ABQ weird. #nokings

Jimmy Legs in typical #caturday gam-dangling mode. Note the new lip scar courtesy of a recent tussle with Garfield.

Forgot to post a pic from Albuquerque’s 53rd annual Balloon Fiesta that wrapped up last weekend. Here’s my favorite from the Friday night ‘Glowdeo’:

I don’t think Trump is at death’s door but he is clearly in declining health. His brain is complete mush and he seems to be in a hurry to hurt as many people as he can while he can still enjoy it.

Albuquerque sky closes out a variable Saturday on a high note:

No balloons aloft today as Balloon Fiesta 2025 winds down. Also grounded: a very damp (Cooper’s?) hawk, who stopped by for a while during a rare midday downpour.

Jimmy is pointedly *not* pushing any Swiss Army knives or Leathermen off this credenza, but he is nothing if not patient. #caturday

Few so-called news outlets have the vinegar to stand up to the pedophile-industrial complex, but The Onion knows which side of their bread is buttered by non-pedophiles, and I say hurrah! HURRAH!

@monteiro.bsky.social in his newsletter nails it hard this week:

Me, in the bathroom Cat: omg I need you it's an emergency Me: no Cat: omg yes it is Me, coming out of the bathroom: fine, what? Cat: huh? what do you want?

A rare cloudy morning in ABQ, but the balloonists got the green flag for mass ascension. Here are the northernmost dozen of the 50 or so aloft by 7:20.

I would pay good folding money to read a long-form piece about the actors who play Roman soldiers, prehistoric humans, druids, etc., in science and history programs.

might like to see a glacier before they’re all gone

My kid learning of the passing of Jane Goodall: “The gorilla lady? Was it *by* gorilla?

gulp

let the gourd times roll

"I’m the first guy to get a whole circle, it’s terrific. They evicted the Kennedys to put it in. Nobody, and I mean nobody else, has this much abyss."

The Generals: are we about to get Long Knifed? Trump: have some laughs and clappies fellas!

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Albuquerque skyline right now (New Mexico isn’t really a skyscraper kind of place).

I can’t anymore with the naked tyranny here’s a cat.

Fiery chili paste incoming!!!

Beep beep…
