UPDATE: The Nashville car bombing is getting more strange as the afternoon progresses and shit pops up on the scroll — per Mediaite: Footage posted on Twitter Friday by a mysterious account showed the apparent message — and subsequent blast — that rocked the city. “This area must be evacuated now, this area must be evacuated…
An imbalance in the $900 billion Congressional COVID-19 relief bill has unplugged the Twitter world, spawning the hashtag, ‘ #LetThemEatCake,’ with notable sarcasm: Although I covered some of this imbalance in a post this morning, apparently the whole thing is rife with unnecessary shit — some finer details via The Washington Post this afternoon: But…
In the laborious era of the coronavirus there’s been a couple of bright slices of light recently, one of course, the vaccines, and the other a hard-accomplished COVID-19 relief bill passed this week by our near-worthless Congress, though, the paltry portion lies plainly on the side of shit-stamping Republicans. Definite the divide as captured by…
Deep-foggy here in California’s Central Valley, and feels like it’s foggy all over the world… Except it’s fog and not rain, and I’m in Californa, not Georgia, but due to the pandemic and all its terrible vistas, you get the point. And the mark is getting deeper and deeper — as of today the world…
Even as we hudde in isolation from the gravest emergency maybe in a long, long time — COVID-19 — the virus keeps exploding all across the planet and overwhelming the US without an end in sight.

As COVID-19 surges across California, the technical aspects of a vaccine roll-out are being pondered not only in logistics, but who will be getting the first doses, and beyond health-care workers and the elderly, there’s seemingly an endless line of hopefuls. In order to make a choice starting today, a pair of advisory committees —…
Sunny and chilly this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and once again some shitty virus numbers nationwide as of this morning — 17,278,276 COVID-19 cases, with now 313,467 deaths. And as Dr. Anthony Fauci warned last month, the holiday period coming up could bring on “a surge upon a surge” of COVID cases,…
Politics of health nowadays is deadly. Here on this Tuesday evening, the country is being ground into mush by a pandemic fueled in part by a huge faction of Americans sprouting bullshit from the Republican bullhorn, twisting facts into lies and killing 300,000-plus people. The huge problem with getting a handle on COVID-19 is politics…
California is soaring with COVID-19 cases and death, and now the state’s Central Valley (where I reside) is quickly going to shitsville with ICU-bed capacity dropping like a rock (h/t BJ): We’re in a world of hurt — from the LA Times this morning: The last time Dr. Eyad Almasri had a day off was…
