Despite some decent news today at the COP26 gathering in Glasgow, Scotland, the end results of this UN conference on climate change is up in the polluted air with a draft agreement looking good now, but shitty later — from The Washington Post this afternoon: The…
(Illustration found here). Despite a shitload of all kinds of nefarious events gripping like a snapping turtle at the brain, climate change continues to look like a horror story coming alive, as I’d bemoaned before, we’re watching the end of the world on our laptops. COP26, now in its second week in Glasgow, Scotland, has…
Couple of important, and deadly news stories this Monday morning (among a shitload, I know), which paint a terrible future. First and most immediate — COVID is now indeed a Red beast: (Illustration: Source: New York Times database, Edison Research; and found here). A real, hardcase reason we’ll seemingly never get rid of COVID, at…
Everything is now embedded in a horrid Friday news dump — in this case today, a dump on anxiety levels from so many different angles it’s shitty to contemplate. Even in handling sorrow: Chad Broughton, an instructional professor in public policy at the University of Chicago, examined at The Atlantic this past Tuesday ‘grief‘ and…
In an attempt this late-afternoon Tuesday to stay away from news on the Virginia governor’s race (too anxiety-like depressing), and the sad shenanigans in DC (Asshole Joe Manchin being an asshole, also down-deep depressing) as Joe Biden’s agenda and America’s future goes kaput, and latched onto some new shit on another depressing subject — climate…
Overcast with an occasional splash of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — scary-boo night coming, so all is not well. And in a split-screen effect today, just as the meeting of the G20 in Rome ended, the UN’s 26th Climate Change Conference opened in Glasgow, Scotland, and the weight…
One depressing sign of the times unseen by apparently a shitload of Americans — one party (Democrats) are focused on helping people, attempting to enact policies that give aid to families, while on the other political hand, the only other party in this country (Republicans) do not give a shit about anything but power and…
(Illustration: Cartoon by Kevin Kallaugher (KAL), and found here). One of the worst people on the planet right now is most-likely Joe Manchin. I know, I know there are murderers out there, rapists, child abusers/pedophiles, killers in mass, yet most of these-pieces-of-shit are hopefully confined to a small space of horror-infliction and not in a…
Partly cloudy with an occasional glimpse of sunshine here in California’s Central Valley — our version of the first big storm of the season was quick and short with hard rain ending this morning. Although we didn’t seem to catch the blunt impact of the system, we did see some heavy wet stuff earlier, and…
Sprinkling a bit this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley as we await the oncoming gush of rain off maybe the biggest set of storms to hit the state in years — some forecasts call for up to 10 inches in various areas with the north supposedly getting the full blast. Here in the…
