Guy across from me at this alumni event has the table enraptured talking about “AI 2027” and I feel like I’m about to explode @edzitron.com

Rebecca Jaramillo stepped out of the Santa Fe jail and into the cold one night in January 2021. After two days in a cell, she was free, but no one was there to pick her up. So, with a snowstorm coming, she began the long walk toward town. The jail in Santa Fe, surrounded by barbed wire and tumbleweed, sits on a remote stretch of highway far from the city's bustling plaza and historic churches. It is nearly two miles down the highway to the closest gas station, three miles to where a sidewalk starts and eight miles to the nearest homeless shelter. Ms. Jaramillo, 33, made it only about a mile from the jail that night before she was hit by a sheriff's deputy driving a police pickup truck at 57 miles per hour. Her body was thrown more than 100 feet, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ms. Jaramillo, who was struck by the sheriff's deputy in 2021, had once worked as a correctional officer herself at a jail not too far away before falling on harder times. She had been booked into the jail for trespassing at a homeless shelter that banned her. A police report from the crash said she had been walking in the middle of a lane on the highway.
This is the most tragically American thing I’ve ever read www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
Ontario you can do it if you have the courage 🇨🇦
Focus on the fascistic takeover instead of shamefully attacking a Black member of Congress who had the courage to speak out, coward.

Las Cruces passes “Realize” zoning reform update- first NM city to eliminate single-family zoning- a new gold standard for the state 👏👏👏
maybe instead of fantasizing about illegally annexing a foreign nation while firing a large share of the people who keep the country running, the US government could do something actually useful for its residents
ABQ—we don’t need more freeway lanes and faster speed limits (not that Burque drivers observe speed limits). We need more Rail Runner service, protected bike lanes, and walkable neighborhoods. Please sign and share. chng.it/8nS8vPBwWT

Mass incarceration does not make us safer.
Investing in our communities does.
In a mostly bleak election for American women and their rights, New Mexico was an unexpected bright spot.
Even as Harris lost her bid for the White House, NM voters elected 60 women to fill the legislature’s 112 seats, giving New Mexico the largest female legislative majority in US history.
Why does a weekend in jail in Los Alamos cost the same as a month of rent in Santa Fe? 🤔
"Considering one night in jail costs between $66 in Luna County to $1,171 in Los Alamos"

Congratulations to Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips for all the work they did on the LA fires! Without their hard work, it's unlikely so much of LA would be on fire.
Thank you to everyone who works in the fossil fuel industry for everything you do to destroy human civilization.

They should rename the discover tab to the libbing out tab
We should build transit for the city we want, not the city we have. I'd rather be prepared for a more abundant future than a constrained present.
Snow in Tijeras! ❄️ @granttosterud.bsky.social
Michael Corkery, the author of the NYT article, goes to great lengths to set up crime as stemming from homelessness and addiction, while only lightly addressing how the previous governor destroyed mental health provision in this vast and poor state.
The story is about sabotage, more than anything.
And in the best state, naturally 🌶️
The resistance begins.
