Looking down from the precipice and all I feel is loathing.
Tweet from NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) that says, "U.S. THIRD QUARTER ADVANCED ESTIMATE GDP REPORT CANCELED."

I FUCKING LOVE WALKING 500 FEET THROUGH A PARKING LOT TO GET TO THE STORE AND DRIVING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHASM THAT IS AN URBAN ARTERIAL
Classic SpongeBob yelling meme where he looks insane and is yelling at a woman fish. Squidward looks on in shocked terror.

A soyjack edit where the soyjack guys have NM merch (a Dukes hat and United Jersey with a Zia symbol beanie) pointing at ABQ Downtown.

Let me just say that forming Two Sicilies was not worth it. Palemmu cannot feed itself and is costing me 100 ducats a month to feed their sorry asses.

0/10
Screenshot of Europa Universalis V in which you can see Italy. Its the southern half and its labeled "Two Sicilies." Doing this was a mistake.

Makes you think! Great Depression 2 incoming
Picture of text that says, "Despite the risk of owing more than the car’s worth, some lenders are pushing even longer terms. Schwartz, who used to work for Ford Motor Co.’s lending arm, said he’s amazed to see the return of 8-year loans, which first appeared shortly before lax lending practices triggered the Great Recession of 2009. Such 96-month loans account for less than 1% of auto loans, but they are on the rise. And for years lenders avoided them altogether."

Rainy mood ☔
A rare photo of a light rain in Old Town ABQ. Center image is a bike rack (no bikes), a sandwich board advertising for the Tiny Grocer, and a table. Beyond is an empty parking lot and various greenery.

An update to a classic
2 panel comic showcasing a number on the ground and a couple guys pointing at it. The text at the top says, "What people think arguing on the internet is like" and the two men pointing at the number have a different number they say, one is "6" one is "9." The bottom panel is similar, but the men have computers over them indicating they're AI, and instead of 6 and 9 (nice), they say, "4" and, "Slur."

Uh yeah, it's train time 🚂🚂 😎
Expertly taken and framed photo of the Santa Fe railyard water tower from inside the train. An interior shot of a train. It's got wood and cool designs on the seats. A couple of workers are making and handing out margaritas.

This guy saying what I've been saying for years and its soooooooo good to see someone in office recognize this.

I've said it before, I'll probably say it till I die, the only way to beat an ascendant right is with an ascendant left.
“I’ve not gotten a single phone call from anybody in the Democratic Party outside of the state of Maine. Nobody’s followed up with me from D.C. Nobody’s reached out. Nothing,” he says. “Which I take as a compliment.” Perhaps he should let those calls go to voicemail. Platner sees no reason to fear spooking a Trump voter on issues the Democratic consultant class has deemed to be politically radioactive. “I stand right in the fucking way of anyone who’s going to try to come after the freedoms of the LGBTQIA+ community,” he wrote in a Reddit AMA. On X, he put it baldly: “There is a genocide happening in Palestine.” Screenshot of text that says: Don’t run away from what you believe, he says. Plant the flag and move on. “Talk about health care affordability, about housing affordability, about basic material issues,” he says. “Be who you are and stick to it and don’t get dragged into the nonsense.”

Been saying this since before the Harris loss in '24. So nice to see it being picked up more and more as people are delving into the data and overall vibes of the '24 election.
Screenshot of article text. Highlighted text says, "Perhaps most critically, Lake adds: 'You can't get these voters by just being against things. You have to be for something... You have to be offering solutions... And you have to be standing up and fighting.' Next paragraph, unhighlighted, says, "Previously publicized voter data indicated that millions of voters who cast votes for Biden in 2020 failed to appear at the polls to back his vice president four years later. Lake Research Partners polled 822 registered voters in battleground states who matched that profile, and what they found was that those voters are more liberal, and more plugged into the news, than many of the loudest pundits and prognosticators have assumed."

Something like this I presume happens to every single Dem
Cycle of despair that says, "Promise viable campaign and governance policies to voters to win support > Donors get mad at your popular and good policies and remove money > remove viable campaign and governance policies to appease donors and lose support > donors want you to garner popular support and give you money" then repeats.

I'm betting meth lab with pallet business as a front
Google street view pic of a truck in front of a fenced off, dirt lot full of pallets and a trailer. Trailer looks to be dilapidated at best.

Finally I can use this image and it's not a national tragedy or drug related.
K-on anime meme where the girl is dressed in the garb of a particular place. She's in a yellow and red hoodie with a zia symbol and Dukes baseball cap, holding a 7k IPA from Santa Fe Brewing and a screaming roadrunner. The background is a sunset picture of Albuquerque.
