Remember kids, Tylenol is a gateway drug. That’s very bad. Just say NO to Tylenol! Tylenol —> Dammitol —> Fukitol ☠️

Hey #Tesla, IT’S CALLED ‘NIGHT’ you bumbling lavvy-heided numpty. It’s effing DARK OUT. Truly, this is the part that I don’t get. If Tesla cars can’t see with their stupid effing cameras just because it’s effing night-time, how the hell are robotaxis […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

One of those legendary September skies earlier this evening. #santafe #newmexico

These days, it’s hard not to miss Dr. Gräper, Master of Reality. Imagine The Dude meets Darth meets Popehat meets Hunter S. Thompson meets a stoner 70s Mark Twain. He hated whiners. And the online world nowadays, awful lotta whiners out there. None of you have any idea who I’m talking about. 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile, in #newmexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory, infamous for their many screwups and fuckups over the decades, are releasing highly radioactive tritium into the public air starting today and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. 🤷‍♂️🤬🤮👀😱 #santafe #losalamos #tritium […]

One of life’s great mysteries: Is it possible to retract the pencil lead back into the “pen” if you press the other end too many times and too much comes out? Or do you just break it off?

#Tesla has released a laughably lame (AI-generated?) “Master Plan Part IV” probably because the company and its distracted, fascist-nutjob part-time CEO spectacularly failed at executing Master Plan III. The creepy world depicted in MP IV? I want no part of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#santafe #newmexico drivers, ladies and gentlemen.

Wow, the Arroyo Hondo has AWOKEN! It has returned! This years-dry waterway that runs through our neighborhood is ROARING this morning, due to inches of rain we’ve gotten here in #santafe #newmexico in the past few days. Behold, the return of the Arroyo!!

My review for the new movie #relay -- in two words, LOVED IT. In two more words, SEE IT. #movies https://boxd.it/aPgrqr

Got crickets for this on Bluesky. Let’s check the ‘don: Ongoing BAFFLEMENT w/ #podcast world. Prolly spend 10-15+ hrs a week listening to podcasts. Amazed at how bad, slow, primitive, anti-discovery, cumbersome, podcast apps still are. In 2025! And #rss! Love it but it is to podcasting what […]

Um. Rain incoming. A lot of it. #santafe #newmexico #weather

The ultimate “meh” on #Netflix. This thing has been sitting around on Netflix for nearly TEN years (feels like 20!). The proverbial “What movie have you ALWAYS PASSED OVER AND NEVER WATCHED and yet Netflix still relentlessly promotes it to you” movie. Am I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I feel bad for this poor horse who lives nearby. His humans keep him blindfolded, and he just stands by the fence alongside the road. #animals #santafe #newmexico

One of the greatest pieces of rock music ever conceived is this. Turn it up LOUD, and behold: https://on.soundcloud.com/TVt0KQzL4YJ2Axehdb

Why is it that Spike Lee’s new film, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, starring Denzel Washington, a film opening in a wide (as in nationwide) US release today, is apparently not showing in a single cinema *anywhere* within the 121,000-sq.mi. state of #newmexico What’s up w/ that? #movies #highest2lowest

I confess that going into this movie I was not familiar with Meredith Monk or her body of work, but thought I’d take a chance on the new MONK IN PIECES #documentary #film. Loved it. Inspiring. Recommended. I’m now a fan. #movies #music #art

Think about it. Every corporation. People like Trump and Musk. What do they all have in common? Nobody gets near them unless they're under NDA. Signed NDAs everywhere. Going back decades. Countless thousands of NDAs. What does a miles-wide cushion of NDAs […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Rabbit, gently chomping away on grass for breakfast, not a care in the world, standing a mere five feet from me. Glenwood, #newmexico

Fence? Schmence. Deer launching from a standing position over a fence. Glenwood, #newmexico

Lizard on fence, watching bugs wander by, patiently awaiting for one to be breakfast, Glenwood #newmexico

The Tree Man. There’s this tree in our backyard that has a mysterious image on it. It’s been there for all the years we’ve lived here. We call it The Tree Man. 🤷‍♂️ #santafe #newmexico

Always interesting to scroll down to the bottom of a movie’s Metacritic reviews to see which grouchy old coot hated the movie the most. Congrats to grouchy goat Roger Moore, sorry you hated the new THE NAKED GUN so much. 😂 #movies #thenakedgun

In past years, we’d have DOZENS of bees around our yard pollinating our flowers. This year, we count a mere TWO, every day for the past month. Just two. 🤷‍♂️ Here they are pollinating our blue mist spiderea plant. #santafe #newmexico #bees #climate

There is nothing like playing a live #music gig on-stage, outdoors, for three solid hours, being bitten and eaten alive by FLIES the whole time. Oh, and playing with another musician both of us squished together (I’m 6’4”) on a 4.5ft X 4ft stage with barely any room to put one’s feet except to […]

Hoooray! Old-style gen-yoo-ine thunderous monsoon **downpour** underway in Santa Fe #newmexico — man do we need the water! UPDATE: now, with HAIL! Yee-hah! #weather #santafe

One thing you gotta admit is cool about #newmexico is that the law allows you to bring in emotional support pet roadrunners into coffee shops. Gotta keep ‘em leashed at all times, of course. How cool is that?

Wow. There is something distinctly off with the new AVATAR 3 trailer. Absolutely off. Watch and you tell me you’re as excited as A1 and A2. (Note in particular the vocal dialogue clips. Wtf?) Something is wrong. What is the story here? Who are the bad guys? What’s going on? Why should we […]

Note to self: inquire tomorrow about releasing wolves on my property #newmexico https://www.livescience.com/animals/land-mammals/return-of-wolves-to-yellowstone-has-led-to-a-surge-in-aspen-trees-unseen-for-80-years

Excellent film: SORRY, BABY. Imagine: a film for grown-ups. In 2025. Amidst all the goofy Hollywood superhero crap and other dumb nonsense, a thoughtful movie. Well-written, well-acted, well-lensed, well-directed. Bravo to Eva Victor and the whole team. #movies #sorrybaby

Good article https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/13/stephen-miller-is-an-immigration-hypocrite-i-know-because-im-his-uncle-219351/

TFW you discover, in *mid-2025*, that it’s been known since at least 2019 that a popular #dental #floss, Oral-B Glide, which I’ve used daily for *years*, is like 25% Teflon, containing #toxic forever chemical #pfas. WTAF?! How is this legal? Why wasn’t it taken off the market?! JFC […]

You know times are tough when you have to cut the listing price of your house by EIGHTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS . . . and it STILL won’t sell. 🤷‍♂️

Wife and I have been visiting dealerships all over for 2+ months on hunt for a new #car to replace her 20-yo aging car, and I'm simply flabbergasted at the useless, lazy, disinterested, zero-motivation, zero-initiative, bureaucratic attitude at dealerships. Long gone is "ALWAYS BE CLOSING" 🤷‍♂️ […]

Hey #newmexico types: any of you ever been to #catwalk Recreation Area north of Silver City? Any tips/suggestions? We’re thinking if checking it out. Is this a good/bad time of year to go? (Monsoon season etc)

"In other words, we're not stupid enough to re-open the Regal as a plain cinema, so we're going to fill it with other crap like a bowling alley and oh yeah IMAX, for the big dumb Hollywood movies that still attract an audience thanks to $75M ad/PR budgets." […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Can’t stand when the #media uses this phrase, “What you need to know.” It’s a lie. A truer phrase would be, “What we want you to believe.” They present a narrative, through carefully chosen words and images, to create a desired impression/belief in the viewer/reader. Often this narrative […]

Passed through Oatman, Arizona the other day. It’s really, really out in the boondocks. But what other tiny town has wild mules hanging out everywhere, including stubbornly standing still right in the middle of the road, refusing to move for cars? Gotta love […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

If there’s one thing you can count on at an Elon Musk-(mis)led company, it’s that the company abhors accountability. It’s no wonder Tesla has announced no date yet for this year’s annual shareholders meeting: company knows shareholders are pissed, not just […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I don’t know about this. Feels like it’s gonna be a dud. This trailer feels too long, which is usually a bad sign. PROJECT HAIL MARY trailer. #movies #scifi #projecthailmary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m08TxIsFTRI

Best way to do band practice: with two very well-behaved Jack Russell Terriers, one, if course, in a cone. #music #dogs #dogsofmastodon

ummm…. 👀👀👀

One thing you can always count on with #weather forecasts in #NewMexico -- they'll be wrong. Another thing you can count on almost as often -- when they say big huge doomy rain and thunder and lightning storm's coming to #SantaFe, they don't mention that […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Wait, so they’re suing Tesla for *failing* to kill a family? New Joisey, ladies and gentlemen. 🤷‍♂️

Almost a full six months into 2025 and the year has so far generally sucked in terms of blockbuster #movies so far. I’ve seen over 60 movies in cinemas so far this year, but as for the top 11 box office hits I’ve seen only 3 with zero plans so ever see any of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Nooooooooooooooooooo #weather #summer #winter

The epitome of Silicon Valley: a startup to help people “cheat on everything.” Best three-word summary of the history of America from 1492 onwards. The perfect Trump-era fraud. And OF COURSE a16z would rush in to fund this crap. #startups #ai #enshittification #vc #a16z […]
