For the record, since apparently my name is blowing up again: I am NOT the same Grady Owens who struck an officer over the head with a skateboard in DC during the Jan 6 insurgency. I haven't left the state of NM in over a year.

Hey @amazon, I appreciate the experiment, but y’all can go ahead and safely shut down the Alamogordo depot. Ain’t got a delivery in three days, and they REGULARLY fuck up deliveries up here. Clearly not enough competence there for prime time.

@trip_otter Yep, it's a nonwoven flax material. Definitely weird compared to other currencies.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@Firr Congrats! If you accept the job and feel like a short drive, I'm occasionally known to frequent Socorro, and Albuquerque less frequently.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

Wow @youtube, two sets of ads literally, not figuratively, literally less than ten seconds from each other in one video

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@Firr A couple hours south in Socorro, officially. :V

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

For the record, don’t let up on the heat on Wendy’s. They did rescind their original comment, but they’re still planning to do it. Just they’ve flipped the script: instead of surge pricing, they’re raising prices across the board and doing lull discounting.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@BleatrKropotkin It’s fun! I wanna get back into it, myself. Can’t do it HERE, too many bears, but at my place in Socorro it’d be alright.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

Thinking about my unusual pain tolerance tonight. Like, people insist I can’t have X because I’m not in obvious physical pain, and I’m like, I had an inguinal hernia for over a year. I was walking within 12 hours of an emergency gallbladder removal and drove home that day.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@BleatrKropotkin What, no New Mexico? :V

@emilylorange Encherining!

(And goddamn @NianticLabs wants to phase out remote raid passes…)

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

Me: “oh sweet, they’re finally releasing Drampa, it’s a raid-only encounter but that’s okay, I can join or host, whatever”
Me looking for a Drampa raid:

When I finally do find a Drampa raid:

@Tayruu No joke, it was a Ouija-board-type thing with an old RPG character naming menu.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@thecoopertom I tried using that stuff once many years ago, when it was first rolled out; the dust was so bad I threw it out. Turns out it was a good thing—lots of consumer complaints about cat respiratory issues after. The pumice they used is pretty rough.

Me: goes to evolve my Pawmo in Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO: “Error”

wtf @NianticHelp This is on top of your still-persistent error insisting I already have my Pokémon Trainer Club account associated with a different account.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

@PlasmaGryphon Oh sure, I could see school admin taking advantage of the situation. Hell, that's *precisely* what the conservatives are doing.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

So! Think it's time for me to comment on the hot-button furry issue of our time: Litter boxes.

(Disclaimer: No, I do not believe litter boxes are being deployed for use in schools, and additionally DO believe anyone who believes that is a fucking moron, moving on)

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

The whole "panic" ENTIRELY arose from trans panic, and has absolutely NO PLACE WHATSOEVER in today's politics, because it was--and I cannot emphasize this enough here--ENTIRELY FICTIONAL AND 100% MADE. THE. FUCK. UP.

STOP IT. BAD SENATOR. NO BISCUIT.

[Grady Owens @baphijmm]

But. Conservatives saw it as the next logical step to trans individuals, and had for decades; the joke (singular) was already circulating. So this story caught on in those circles, because "Holy shit, see? We were RIGHT!"

And now elected officials are trying to pass laws.
