NEW MEXICANS: Friday is Library Legislative Day at the State Legislature. So if you want to call/email your representatives and senators about library stuff, do it tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday, because it will have more impact because they’ll be getting fact sheets and stuff in person on Friday.

this also raises the frankly wonderful prospect of some Uruk Hai running a nice little boulangerie deep in the bowels of Isengard
much is made of "meat's back on the menu boys" but personally I'm quite compelled by the Uruk Hai complaining about days-old bread, man's been alive for at most two weeks, was grown from some revolting fleshy underground alien womb and already he yearns for a warm baguette

We should not trust anything these agencies say, but even if their version of events is true, this violence is not a consequence of smuggling—it’s a consequence of the border, which creates the smuggling economy in the first place.
