Find the road sign in this picture. Welcome to Santa Fe County, where nobody cares about maintaining road signs, including, you know, visibility. This is extremely common all over Santa Fe.

@wirehq.bsky.social Quite the honor, thanks WIRE. Oh, if only you good blokes could find something to say and put it out as a new album 😉
JAWS 5: BOSUN'S MATE The story of Herbie Robinson and Quint, his best friend, as they sail on the doomed USS Indianapolis to deliver the Hiroshima bomb, but then sink after a Japanese attack. Those who didn't immediately drown, faced survival in shark-infested waters....
let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
I now call this site MuteSky, since I have like over 100 words and phrases muted now, more piling on every week. Have never understood the Godzilla fetish and choose to remain not understanding it. I still blame ComicCon for ruining the American movie industry.
@premarcu.bsky.social WHY did you add me to the “AI Builders” list?! Please, take me off that at once. I fucking loathe AI and AI companies, and I have absolutely fucking nothing to do with AI or AI companies other than deep distrust and hatred so I have zero fucking business being on that list.😡
LOL. @clmazin.bsky.social Kindly show me these towering mountains and tall trees “10 miles west of Boston”….
Sharing a CT picture on Bluesky always reminds me of this scene from JAWS…
Rather than thinking, “just use AI for that,” people should automatically think, “just use 250 million gallons of water and generate a new gigaton of carbon in the atmosphere oh and make one more species go extinct, for that.”
Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
Glad to see Santa Fe is pissed off at its public school system’s embrace of yet more edtech vendor crap. Infuriating how gullible and clueless (bribable?) school administrators always seem to be when it comes to edtech vendors/hustlers. Flyer, seen on the bulletin board at a coffee shop in town:
Exhibit 832746 for "Why Google Is The #1 Customer Avoidance Company In The World" 1. Tell me to fill out a long support ticket. 2. Send me a "KNOWLEDGE TEST" to test my knowledge of my own account to confirm it's me. 3. The email address they sent from: "noreply" 4. I reply anyway, but it bounces.🤷♂️
Classic July day in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the birthplace of all those epic 500-mile-wide summer thunderstorms which, unfortunately, leave New Mexico mostly (or entirely) dry, but manage to skoot over to wreaking apocalyptic havoc on Kansas and/or Nebraska on their way to Minneapolis or Chicago.
If you love British Invasion rock and pop of the 60s plus the LA music scene of 70s, run, don’t walk, to your nearest cinema showing PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN, a really well-done documentary with stories galore.
Finally taking on the Queen herself. Long time coming. I think I’m ready. Here goes…
"Casual" moviegoers go 2 times a year? "Loyal" moviegoers go 10 times a year? Um, yikes? I go 120+ times a year. This is the Way.
Robert Towne, screenwriter of CHINATOWN, on John Huston’s central role of the evil patriarch Noah Cross in the film. Noah Cross, put in this light, sounds exactly like Trump and so many Trumpists: real-life, selfish, lying psychopaths who chose the path of nothing but evil.
U.S. film distributors seem to have once again buried a deserving, timely, important documentary from being released wide in the U.S. Absolute cowards! ASK E. JEAN? You can’t see it in America, because fascism. Who knew FASCISM would end global warming, what with all its chilling effects? 🤷♂️

Of the 2,800 likes to this latest Bluesky-a-rama on the damn Cybertruck, I sure wonder how many of those likers have exhaust pipes sticking out of their own vehicles. I wonder if the feel-good social-media hatred on EVs is a guilt-driven, public, coping performance to justify keeping fossil cars.
I keep seeing this Subaru around town here in Santa Fe and I keep wondering: are they pro- or anti-….? 🤷♂️

British guy preps his old motorcycle for a ride; hops on and heads out of town with increasing speed and, soon, recklessness. A moment later he loses control, crashes, and dies. He gets this absurdly huge funeral in a cathedral and it all seems a bit much just for some jerk on a motorbike.
Twin investigative reporters visit London; one mistakes a receptionist for a fashion designer.
Well, I have my THE ODYSSEY ticket for tomorrow. But know that I go into ODYSSEY arguing that everybody should see the 2024 film THE RETURN. And until and only if ODYSSEY proves otherwise, I will argue RETURN is the better film. We shall see.
Never seen this documentary on Ssm Neill before. Some here might enjoy it… m.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Oi...
