Although it’s still fairly pleasant in the shade this near-noon Wednesday, the direct sunshine is hotter than shit here in California’s Central Valley as we encounter another ‘heat dome‘ driving temperatures to triple digits. Not only just us, but the entire SW US will have a boiling Labor Day weekend. And it will only get…
In all the news shit swirling about this Tuesday afternoon, this T-Rump tweet from this morning is pure shamelessness, empty of irony and self-awareness, and mostly, reality: T-Rump is one, well-fined piece of shit. Nutshell of today’s nut-fest (NBC News): Former President Donald Trump spent Tuesday morning posting inflammatory messages on social media, including many…
A few degrees under 100 just about mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — the fevered-heat wave starts this afternoon, though, officially the baking isn’t supposed to begin until tomorrow. A lot of the time reality is a day early. And a long-ago-like tomorrow, it’s been 50 years since the Watergate era — the…
A huge, worrisome crinkle in the nowadays is the never STFU chorus rasping from the T-Rump, nausatingly complicating ferment asshole studies in American political life. And the stupid shit never ends: Some background to this jibberish via the Daily Beast this afternoon: In recent days, conservatives have latched onto remarks made by Facebook chief Mark…
Cool and way-pleasant this near-noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — well under triple digits as apparently we’re right now in a real-short lived (two days!) episode of crisp temperatures and comfortable ambiance when outside. However, hot shit hits the fan starting Wednesday (but probably tomorrow) with another deep-dive into a furnace-like heat wave…
Another scorcher outside this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s 103 degrees right now, with barely a breeze. Despite a couple of ‘coolish‘ days immediately ahead, more blasting heat is on our schedule well-past Labor Day. It’s been a seemingly-quick, hot-ass summer, though, the entire clock/calendar, keeping-time apparatus feels like it’s on…
Heavy-aired hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 100 degrees outside right now, probably the high for the day, and another episode in our latest heat wave this year. Cooler weather forecast for this coming weekend, so we’ll just wait as we whine about insufferable conditions. Weather be changing in a hurry.…
Another hot one as we near evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot is hot be. Just as I’ve said before, Republicans are not only cruel assholes, but haven’t a clue how to actually govern: A huge pile of empty, careless bullshit — from the transcript at NBC News (names have been altered…
A major aspect of Republicans is they’re slimy, lying assholes. Even worse for such as Ron Johnson: Upclose details via Raw Story this morning: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has refused to speak to the Jan. 6 Committee because his participation in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election only lasted “a couple seconds.” During…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher (1946), a ‘mezzotint,’ and found here.) A stroll through some science items this early-evening Saturday, in an effort go beyond just climate change news on the research/study front — plus I couldn’t work-up much of an interest from the news cycle today. As been stated before I’m sick, near-to-the-point of…
