As the beast of a floating, swirling disease covers the planet in fear, a couple of tunes — the first, a look skyward: And a lyrical strange: This coronavirus is indeed spreading — 442 cases in the US, so far impacting 32 states. Of course, the numbers change as fast as I can type out…
(Illustration found at National Geographic). A new climate report that’s more than a little ominous — the Guardian this afternoon: Tropical forests are taking up less carbon dioxide from the air, reducing their ability to act as “carbon sinks” and bringing closer the prospect of accelerating climate breakdown.

America is on a threshold of some heavy shit. (Illustration: Elizabeth Warren, found here). Yesterday, my most-favorite Elizabeth Warren went down in sad flames in the Super Tuesday primaries played out over 14 states, and American Samoa — Mike Bloomberg’s only win.

He was 88. Cussler turned out a slew of adventure novels involving Pitt and his crew of National Underwater and Marine…
The US along with the whole-wide world are in a particular cruel position right now, as the supposed leader of the free world an unhinged, ignorant asshole without a moral sense of action. And so the toady-incompetent liars who work for him: Story via Raw Story this afternoon: Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump’s top economic…
