I wonder how long it will be before we have to go Canada to get vaccines.

I was not aware until I looked at fare information that ABQ RIDE is fare free. Absolutely love it. Slam dunk way to get from the Sunport to the Alvarado Transportation Center.

At last, got to extensively drive a final generation Chevy Malibu as our rental on this trip. Very user friendly without totally overwhelming tech. Comfortable. A tragedy that GM is retarded and killed it. I may still buy one of the few brand new 2025s on dealer lots. We’ll find out in the summer.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

Are we really surprised after what happened in 2020 that cops and militarized “officers” are violent. Low tier, retarded sociopaths that resemble stupid little boys rather than real men? Did we already forget how violent and evil they were then? This is where the “defund” phrase was born. #ACAB

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

More and more of us live in or around cities. I have, for my entire life, never lived more than 15 miles away from an urban downtown with 100,000 plus people. Yes it’s time to celebrate cities. Long past time.

One day, always on the move, seat of your pants trips like this can be a bit intense. @chessieguy83.bsky.social has a term for them, even: Crackhead Trips. Well, the crack was good today. Very good. #railsky

The Specific Class of engine 614 belongs to is my all time favorite. It will be nice to see her in steam no matter where she runs.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

A very good question. They like violence and unrest when it suits them. We don’t like to do it until we have to. And these peckerwood betas at ICE are forcing our hand.

We are all about to witness what fascist regimes do when the people rise up. I suggest now be the time you decide what side of history you want to be on. Ours. Or theirs. Choose wisely. #FDT #FuckTheFeds #FuckICE
