Since SNAP benefits are gone next month and the new ACA enrollment hikes also start to reveal themselves to consumers... it's wild to think that both programs are tilted towards states AND demographics that favored Trump in '24
The stove beckons

Hey fellow New Mexicans, if you aren’t already donating or volunteering at you local food bank, now’s the perfect time to start. Look how many of us depend on SNAP benefits to get enough food to eat.
Please, we can’t let our neighbors go hungry. Let’s take care of each other in these hard times.

"Write! The written letter endures!" Scribal wit at the start of financial records for London bridge in 1424. Cleverly, the scribe created the letter 'S' by folding a speech scroll, so the form of the letter conveys the meaning of the conventional proverb, "speech is fleeting but writing endures."

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Thank you to my friends at Tacugama Sanctuary in Sierra Leone for spotting this orphaned baby chimp on Facebook and rushing out to rescue her.
She’s now in safe hands at the Tacugama Sanctuary where she will be raised by hand alongside other chimps.
They’ve named her Linda.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

PSA: we have rabid coyotes in SW New Mexico.
If you see a wild animal behaving strangely, get far away fast. Bear spray works too to keep your distance. And if you get bitten, get treatment right away.
Also make sure your pets are vaccinated!

This makes perfect sense to me and I've often wondered how, say, lawyers who use AI to write briefs expect to effectively argue their positions in court.
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
