Bill Murray once tipped me $100 to take his bags 50 feet from from the lobby to his car. He was weird as fuck but I always appreciated that.

Well, if you want to get philosophical about business, then sure, I believe they should have a business model that I find morally and ethically correct. That’s not a radical idea. I personally find the idea of allowing and all products that aren’t explicitly illegal or “trolling” (although I think that’s a nebulous…

It depends what kind of company Valve wants to be, and they’re clearly going for the “trashcan” business model.

You can’t really make specialized units because of federal guidelines for protected classes. In a tertiary yet applicable example, I work at a homeless shelter and we often have trans woman. The other woman in the dorm, by and large, don’t care, but every so often we get a complaint about having a “man” in the dorm…

The number she posted was for Arizona State University, and she’s at Fresno State. I doubt it was a mistake.

I am so, so happy to see Awesome Kong in this. Her feud with Gail Kim was more than a decade ahead of it’s time, and she was always unique.

It always is.

I can’t watch anything with Damien Lewis. It looks like he bit into an especially sour lemon or is always trying to do that Zoolander look. It’s distracting.

What you’re doing is highlighting a deficiency in public school history. So of it is dedicated to the “great man theory” and political history that it leaves out most of the drivers, those being the people. We learn that men rule the historical narrative because that’s easy to understand. What’s harder to grasp is…

Possibly. I’d spent my whole life up until about 5 years ago in ABQ, so I needed to get away, so i moved to interior New England. One thing I miss about New Mexico: wide roads, where you can see the whole vista unfurling in front of you. There’s no other place quite like the Land of Entrapment.

Not all Republicans may hold those views, but no Republican is willing to break ranks with Trump, so, as far as the public sees, they do support the worst aspects of the party (not that there are any good ones, really.)

Weating an Iron Maiden shirt while seeing a local band at the Launchpad. Ahhh, brings back memories.

I’m from Albuquerque, and I used to joke that you could always tell the transplants because they were old, white, short hair, and decked out head to toe in turquoise shit. Santa Fe was always the worst: people think it’s this portal to another dimension and rarely venture beyond the Plaza. Which is too bad, because…

Shibata had that freak brain injury, but in general, the New Japan guys work less dates and more tags, meaning they can save their bodies for the huge showdowns instead of a 12 minute nothing on a Thursday.

Uber/Lyft is the only reliable “cab” company in my town. It’s cheaper, often by half, and regular cab companies can take up to 2 hours to pick up a call, and often cancel scheduled pick-ups. I understand the ethical qualms, but I’m not going to pay a cab 30 bucks and wait hours when I can pay 15 and wait a few minutes.

I’m getting very strong Tomato Troll vibes off you.

Exactly. Otherwise you end with a chronicle, and that shit is super boring.

That’s not History 101, that’s historicism. The study of history is mostly interpretation, and more often than not, those interpretations are biased by the writer. Historicism is all about retelling the past as it actually happened, with zero interpretation or analysis involved.

I was born and raised in ABQ, and there is no racial quota on crime. White, Hispanic, black, Vietnamese...there is plenty of it to go around. That being said, I love my town and can’t wait to go back.
