UPDATE Below Horrible, heart-breaking news this Saturday morning — one of my most-personal favorite bloggers has died. Known to me only as ‘Big Bad Bald Bastard,’ who conveyed a wondrous humane view of not only the whole, wide, wide world, but also a love-of-life living in Yonkers, New York — a combo sweetly found in…
In a period of dark, ominous shit, the backlash off the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade last week might have added fuel to the Democrat side of the voting aisle, and maybe will prove a positive factor in the midterms in November. Some poll work, hopefully, points the way — at Salon this afternoon:…
Despite the dramatic, eyeball-opening testimony yesterday from Cassidy Hutchinson before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup, the Republican party itself will most likely keep shitting our country’s mess kit and will just punch harder against reality. And not seek higher ground from the horror of the T-Rump. Cancer on the presidency and America…
Hot with just a hint of a breeze this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — summer be here already in full force. Pleasant Valley Sundays a dream memory. Writing this blog — Compatible Creatures — for now more than 15 years (April 22, 2007), I usually have a subject matter for each post,…
Heavy heat this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — near 100 degrees again today and the same mean-hot shit is supposed to continue through next week. Friday, too, is usually news dump day. However, today was just a dump, one big-old shit-dump. The news cycle near-completely dominated by the SCOTUS shit decision to…

Healthcare is below gun care — via a stinging editorial this morning from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: Experience around the world has demonstrated that restricting access to…
In advance of this afternoon’s House committee hearing on Jan. 6, a look at a near-miss in the horror of the T-Rump and America if the attempted coup had succeeded — lies cornered by lies: Ivanka has her daddy’s blood. In a must-read piece today by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money, discussing the horror of the…
Hot, heavy air outside this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine burns a hole even sitting in the shade, with a near-sizzling aura that’s zero fun. Weather is still just the weather. However, something’s that hard to weather is the granite-brain of Republicans, who on the one hand will call the T-Rump…
Hot and delightfully breezy this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley – although it should be boiling and the air heavy as shit (supposedly right now we’re just one-degree shy a hundred), the outside ambience is not so bad, making ‘delightfully breezy‘ a true and poetic weather report. Wind can shift the sense of…
Warm-on-the-border of hot this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley — in the low 90s today, but into triple digits starting tomorrow and lasting through rest of the week. Summer catching up quickly. Along with a shitload of sad, unnerving, frightful particulars buzzing around the nowadays, from the before mentioned gathering heat storm to…
