Clear and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another Spring springing quickly into summer storylines. In a different, anti-normal shocker today, Tucker Carlson was fired from his Fox News perch — this is the way-exact ‘news’ of the day. and is the lead story on blogs, news sites, and just about…

Clear with a ton of sunshine tempered with a chilly breeze just past the noon hour here Thursday in California’s Central Valley — another glorious, beautiful day. And among a goodly batch of news stories this morning, a seeming follow-up on Clarence Thomas and his fraud-laced life with a mega-rich asshole Republican — the situation…
Clear with a chilled bit of wind this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Beyond the domestic hard-tossed shit today, indications off those leaked intel files noted last week, peace in Ukraine seems to not be on the agenda for this year — apparently vicious war crimes will continue, however (Foreign Policy this afternoon):…
