A little blustery and cool this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley; any delay of the heat is always welcome — another weekend is quickly at hand. One noted, though sad, event today: Jen Psaki spent her time at the Joe Biden White House press-briefing podium as press secretary and she will be sorely…
Overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — rain expected tomorrow, but not much. Drought still has the dry, high road, and will most-likely keep it for a while. In the gush of news this particular day, and there’s plenty of it, from Ukraine to T-Rump and pikes of shit in between, in…
Bright, sunny late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central valley — windy and a bit still on the refreshing side even with Thursday and Friday forecast for 90-degrees or worse. We’ll take our cool when and where we can, plenty of time ahead to lament the heat. As the Ukrainian situation gets uglier and uglier, the…
After performing sub-level work on a continuous basis, Fox News‘ Peter Doocy today appeared once again on the receiving end of reality inspired by obvious sense and truth — Joe Biden slipped into the common-man repertoire in calling out a stupid son of a bitch as a stupid son of a bitch. InterWebs went daffy:…
Thick fog covering the just-turning-dark this Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a depressing look to say the way-minimum, but that’s the current motif seemingly embedded in our psyche nowadays. All looney tunes with the despondency, too, which makes it shit worse. Another piece of weird for this already weird new year — lightning…
Dense, chilly fog here mid-day Sunday in California’s Central Valley, a full-scale return to our ‘tule fog‘ bullshit once again after some rain last week, with the version this morning a thick, near-opaque gray in absolutely-zero wind — zilch in any kind of movement. A simile in the ugly Joe ‘MonsterMash’ Manchin — : In…
America is of two camps, one humane and thoughtful, the other, cruel and insane. In the dark shadow of the vicious future of murder and firearm control created by the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, the House earlier today passed Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion social safety net expansion legislation (the BBB — Build Back Better bill), but…
Warm and brown-tinted overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and summer clings to us like the horror of seeing T-Rump play golf. In my post earlier today on the maybe/seemingly dismal future for American democracy, the picture does look bleak, but a real bright spot I failed to mention with the T-Rump…
Doomscrolling truly in surfing the news this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — shit, I could be anywhere and would still come across story after fucking story of shit happening, most sorry to say, preventable to some degree. Even a high school shooting tossed in for good measure, just to break the horrid,…
In a display that’s getting old and worn, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki schooled Fox News‘ Peter Doocy afresh today on COVID facts and figures — some ‘reverse gotcha’ podium speak: Details per Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was forced to explain the basics of the coronavirus pandemic to…
