Yeah, that data is pretty in line with what I’ve been thinking for a while on this front. Las Cruces is going to get burnt to a crisp, Albuquerque will see moderate negative impacts, and Santa Fe and Taos will see no net impacts or some small gains from increased solar production, migration from other areas and so on.…

I don’t want to defend them too much, because they can and should do find a way to do better. But since Netflix is really more of a distributor than a production company, isn’t this a little more complicated than it might appear? The vast majority of their shows are made by third parties. Netflix could probably muscle…

They’ve known that forever, though, which is why they’ve been trying to build a stable of good original content that draws people to the service. The most obvious comparison here is HBO—does anybody subscribe to HBO for the third-party movies they air? No, not really. That’s an edge benefit. People subscribe because…

The best you can say about it is that it’s a liberal-ish but otherwise inferior Arizona.

Hi, everybody. I’d like to talk a little bit about a scourge that is sweeping the state of New Mexico, one that has claimed many lives and hurt many people: the dreaded menace of Albuquerque. If anyone ever asks you to do “Burque”, remember to JUST SAY NO. Friends don’t let friends try Albuquerque—a few pretty…

Ok but she’s had all this time to apologize and still hasn’t done it, and instead writes this completely disingenuous article where she says she was attacked because of her “association”.

Well, yeah. That goes without saying, really.

And what happens when we elect the next Trump administration, and the government decides that they need to educate all the children in these “facilities” about the evils of abortion, immigration and climate science? This is all well and good in some Utopian fever dream where the minders of these children would be pure…

Right—before they created Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI handled most of the duties that are now assigned to them. They have a pretty broad mandate and investigate basically all the same stuff that the FBI does, but with something of a specific focus on sex crimes and immigration violations. So there’s this…

Doing rough-sex and domination fetish porn for money is an entirely different thing than mistreating and assaulting women in real life. Porn in general is highly misogynistic; if you want to be a porn star, you will have to act out a lot of scenes that would be problematic or even illegal if they were real. Turns out…

Before the accusations against him came out, the only “sketchy” thing that anyone in the general public knew about James Deen was that he did a lot of porn. He was the biggest male pornstar in the world (he still is) and he was starting to get crossover roles in movies and TV shows. The stigma attached to being a…

They really need to just abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security. Repeal the law that created it; dissolve its components; reassign their duties to the FBI or other Department of Justice agencies. The entire enterprise is out of control and has been for a long time. Everything they touch turns to…

Hey negroes: I will pay for a one-way ticket for you to Africa, the home you long for. America is primarily white. And we like it that way. That’s not racist. I’m not racist. I’m a nationalist which means I’m pro-American values. Don’t like it? Leave. Or get with the program.

I did feel vaguely queasy the whole time I was browsing it. You know that thing that Splinter does where they post long strings of snarky woke tweets from liberal celebrities that re-enforce their position on a given issue? Well, Breitbart does the same thing, but with tweets from their favorite conservative talking…

Know thy enemy.

I read some Breitbart last night to see how they were spinning this, and it looks like the strategy is to paint all the Republicans who lost as “establishment cucks” and “NeverTrump losers” who only lost because they didn’t fully embrace the Dear Leader. They kept saying that Gillespie was way behind until he started…

The latest news I’m hearing says that he was convicted, which would have disqualified him from owning guns because of federal domestic violence laws. But the Air Force apparently failed to report his conviction to the FBI, so it didn’t come up on the background check and he was able to buy the guns legally.

He wasn’t dishonorably discharged. He received a “bad conduct discharge”, which is a different thing. Dishonorable discharges are generally reserved for people who have committed the most heinous crimes—murder, rape, treason, that sort of thing. It sounds like he bought and possessed his guns legally.

I really, really doubt that this was Tillerson’s call. Just like Rosenstein’s letter about the Comey firing, it will emerge soon enough that the White House pressured the State Department into releasing this assessment as a means of justifying a decision they likely made months ago. I would also bet money that Jeff…

I never tweet. Instead I post my ill-conceived youthful opinions on SplinterNews.com, where at least they (probably?) won’t be found by a future employer.
