I love Meteor Crater! 😍 In geology, most changes - even tiny ones - take millions of years of consistent erosion, shifting, and seasons. Not here! 🌎 ☄️ 10 seconds and 💥BOOM!💥 New landscape! #roadtrip #Route66 #MeteorCrater #WinslowArizona #Scape #Arizona
An original, original span of Route 66 today in 2026. Here is The Mother Road looking west and back east. #MotherRoad #Route66 #Arizona
Mojo Coffee, just off I-40 in Winslow Arizona, an oasis for anyone who needs a "real" cup of coffee instead of hotel breakfast bar or convenience store swill! 19 years in business and counting ☕ Bonus, they have an EV charging station! #coffee #WinslowArizona #Route66 #roadtrip #mojocoffee
They just don't make roadside bathrooms like they used to!
Turning back to look east at the picturesque #Arizona town of Springerville before the journey continues.
A lovely upcycled fence in the beautiful town of Quemado New Mexico.
First Navajo taco of the trip procured. (first of many, I hope!)
Road trip! Climbing down onto the floor of an ancient sea, via I-10 westbound.
I regret to inform you that the cat is sticky and he has a bald patch.
Do you ever meet someone who says "I don't pay attention to politics" when you ask about something big in the news so you lob a few headline gimmies at them, just to see how deep it goes and they look at you blankly, and state they haven't heard anything about it. #whcd #apathy #mikejohnson
Can we have a Bluesky moratorium on gushing about how brave a journalist is for asking one mealy-mouthed followup question to Donald Trump after he's been dismissive towards them? #newrule
It's Biden's fault a flap on the garbage bag got pushed inside of the can on one side. #Biden #Hegseth #Senate #SenateHearing #IranWar

Glad to hear @abdulelsayed.bsky.social dog-walked Jake Tapper. Bringing the conversation back to kitchen table issues while "Tapper the Trump-fwapper" tried to make it all about foreign policy tinged with implications that Muslim residents are less patriotic. #CNN #JakeTapper #AbdulElSayed
If anyone ever doubts what #BTS does for its fans versus what they do for a paycheck, I've kept good notes. They spill everything on stage at their shows; but wisely they know commercial stuff isn't worth straining a vocal chord or tearing a hamstring over. 💟7️⃣💟
Today I saw the Majestic Empire Foundation production of Mean Girls at The Empire Theater in San Antonio Texas. A student operated production, it was fantastic! Those kids were so talented! 🎉👏🏻💖 #MajesticEmpire #MeanGirls #SanAntonio #Theater www.themajesticempirefdn.org/mean-girls-t...

Being that #Trump is stuck in the 80s and that people have been sucking up to him for so long he probably thought all he had to do was go on TV, speak and he'd be instantly believed by the entire nation like in a scripted network TV miniseries from the decade of shoulder pads and cocaine. #elections
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 3w ago“I mean, this is random Trump bull****,” Bruce Schneier, a security technologist at Harvard University, told Democracy Docket. “He wants to destroy democracy, and this is the next step.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
For all the election #doomers, wringing your trembling hands, whimpering "He's going to be having DHS sieze ballot boxes in swing states" He won't. He and his goons lack the attention spans to coordinate this and they're way too preoccupied with what they can pilfer or leverage for personal gain.
#LifeAdvice - of all the things to skimp on money-wise, don't let it be auto or home insurance. Pack your meals and keep a piece of outdated tech as long as you can, but no matter how low a rate is dangled in front of you, don't shave down to barebones liability unless your budget forces you to.
