Lower stair guy wearing bulletproof vest under his shirt? And is that just his phone in front pocket?

time to get that kid an accordion
someone suggested saying it in a Yogi Bear voice, and it's the true way.
Great supply of camp TP
And there’s the thing I call the “Knuckle Song,” that every little kid in the world learns to play on the black keys of the piano. I remember a young nephew obsessively singing it.
This makes me sad. The Mueller Report could have made a difference if Fucking Bill Barr hadn’t steamrolled it.
Team pectolite. Go vote!
Who are the skilled (low-cost) workers who will work in the EV factories? Slaves? The 75% of Gazans who are projected to stay, in 323 sq ft/person housing?
Wow. AI-generated War Crimes R Us
@bendts2cents.bsky.social check this news
@abqkatiestone.bsky.social did you see this?
This is good news. More of this, please.
Ethan Hawke _and_ Andrew Scott.
I’m just watching the updates—clock and downs. Impressive final effort. Respectable finish.
I gotta see this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo7g...
Because hurricanes, derechos, tornados, and floods must be brought in line with Dear Leader’s wishes, and we can only do that by adjusting our reporting.
I grew up in Nebraska, back in the Big Eight/Husker glory days. Their pre-conference schedule was notorious for “patsy” opponents.
I always root for potential giant-slayers. Go Lobos!
Trump is "fine" and golfing amid health rumors, so release the Epstein files and abolish ICE.
Think of El Paso is honorary NM.
Might be worth checking El Paso, too. TX does not have same CDC restriction as NM.

Bells and singing Munchkins
Moskowitz has perfected classic sitcom smart-ass delivery. Slap a canned laugh track on there.
I needed to touch water so much. Slight chance of rain at home this evening, too. Temperature dropped below 70 at 6:30!!!!
East Fork Jemez River at Las Conchas trailhead is one of the prettiest places in NM. Green meadows studded with wildflowers, tall conifers, and rhyolite crags bolted for sport climbing line the small river valley. Fauna included ground squirrels, chipmunks, and grazing cattle.
Best Friday I’ve spent in quite a while. Short easy hike with a dear friend at Las Conchas, hour of soaking at Jemez Hot Springs, margarita and green chile cheeseburger at Los Ojos Restaurant and Saloon, with dead animals hanging over our heads. We loved our server; bet she’s been there forever.
This is going to be fun. Did my research for the first pair; they put poor asbestos up against this beauty: www.mindat.org/gm/3141

Updated vaccine was given FDA approval a couple days ago. But CDC is lagging, and many states require CDC approval.
ooh, crrrronched those cars. I visited Manitou Springs this past April. Steep little town.
I’m headed to Las Cruces next Sunday for Randy Granger‘s full moon concert at White Sands. Maybe I can bop over to a CVS in El Paso on Monday morning before I head back north.
Dammit. This explains the NM issue with the new covid vaccine. New Mexico is one of the 16 states that requires CDC sign-off. @repstansbury.bsky.social, this needs to change, fast.
I’m 65, but I’m getting “vaccine not available” messages. The location service at CVS website is not working for me; typing in my ZIP code giving me incomplete results.
I think CVS website is effed up at the moment. I may wait a few days, see if this settles out.
My work insurance is BC/BS, so Providence is out-of-network. So much for “healthy competition.” I’m close to retirement and have to figure out Medicare supplemental care. Don’t want to do Medicare Advantage, but the R’s are going to screw me no matter what.
Called Lovelace to find new PCP at the office I usually visit. Earliest available appt with practitioner accepting new patients is March ‘26. Lovelace is broken, and likely to get worse. I’m going to try Urgent Care for the covid vaccine. Or go to Palomas farmacia with @mjdowntheshore.bsky.social
Every year, without fail, Lovelace emails me to say my PCP is moving on to another job. So now I have to find a new PCP, get an appt (months out)? I wonder if there’s a telehealth option to get the prescription. Fuck fuck fuck.
Fuck, indeed.
Hey @alymay.bsky.social and @atherton.bsky.social, are you on Matt Meyer’s email list? He has a new Universalist song: soundcloud.com/matt-meyer-1...
The Unbearable Whatness of Being
LOLWTF: “Haughty Anna Wintour famously snubbed the former model for the cover of Vogue while plastering less elegant First Ladies all over the magazine multiple times.”
CVS website for New Mexico very glitchy. Wouldn’t even show me the address of the pharmacy I’ve been going to for 10 years until I looked it up under MinuteClinic. Bet they’re getting slammed with vaccine appt requests and they haven’t updated their website yet. Send coffee to CVS IT team.
Good question
Remove RFK jr. @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov
RFK jr must be removed from the cabinet.
Abolish CBP and ICE, now. They are the fascist brownshirts of these times.
Do cabinet impeachments start in the Senate? Or the House? Imma contact _all_ of my congress-critters.
Skeet of the Day. Watch the linked video for 5 minutes of charming science.
Gotta love the blue and red racing stripes
My cats def need a rainbow unicorn to ride out on.
Impeach JFK jr for gross malpractice.
RFKjr must be impeached before he endangers the health of US citizens any further. @repstansbury.bsky.social @repgabevasquez.bsky.social @fernandez.house.gov
I’m lucky; I do pretty well with shots. Shingrex made my arm quite sore for a few days, but I DO NOT want to get shingles. I’m also up to date on TDAP, MMR, flu. Get ‘em before RFKjrShitHead bans ‘em
Awwwww
That’s pretty much where I am. I had my last mRNA shot in May. Hope Novavax moves fast.
Time to go touch cats.
I’ll be following Novavax for updates on when they ship their 2025-26 vaccines. ir.novavax.com/press-releas...
Updated vaccine should start shipping to pharmacies immediately, now that they have FDA approval. Last year’s vaccine is gone (and not the one you want anyway).
Somebody on another thread surmised that if you check the box for one of the high risk categories (former smoker, physically inactive) your insurance company might raise your rates. Blergh.
updated vaccines should be available very soon, according to Pfizer’s press release today. They were ready to ship as soon as they got FDA approval. www.pfizer.com/news/press-r...

more of a "move fast, break things" issue, then?
Is testing liquid methane + LOX a reason behind all of the spectacular explosions?
what a ghoul
White supremacy sucks
When I read “Eat, Pray, Love” I was just pissed that it was so popular. Somebody give me a hefty book advance and send me off to vacation in gorgeous places; bet I could find plenty of spiritual enlightenment to write about.
Beat me to it.
Waking up to a rain shower and cool air, how lovely. Hope it lasts longer than 5 minutes.
How did inspectors miss this for 15 years? Good lord.

I managed to track down a Novavax booster one time at CVS, would love to get it regularly. I get mRNA boosters every 6 months if I can. Worried about this fall. So disgusted with RFK.
what a beautiful little guy!
Derek Guy's educational work is spreading far and wide.
is RFKjr going to allow (non-mRNA) Novavax in US?
Hello, more water-guzzling data centers…
Is there any possibility somebody from DOJ could leak the Epstein files (like the Pentagon Papers), or do Pam Bondi and others have that locked down?

Love your soundtracks!
Wind is just now kicking up down here, hoping there’s rain behind it.
I saw Fiddler on the big screen when I was a kid. Growing up in white-bread Nebraska, my only images of Jews were from bible story-books. I had no knowledge of Ashkenazi Jews, so the village of Anatevka confused me at first. Many years later, saw a touring stage company in PDX; Topol playing Tevye!
Resisting the dictator.
Is there any way to get Apple TV+ to show me which episodes in a series I’ve already watched, or for it to queue up the next unwatched episode instead of making me scroll through from Season 1 and try to guess what I’ve already watched based on the cryptic thumbnail descriptions? Can’t be that hard.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they chose Uganda to make Mamdani look bad by connection. Fantasy ploy: Young Cardamom and friends rescue Abrego Garcia and feature him in a joy-filled rap video.
I know TJ’s secco bellinis are a trash way to drink wine, but they’re much better than the soap-flavored Bartles & Jaymes I drank in grad school.
No rain yet in Parkland Hills. Maybe we’ll catch the late round.
