Media Thrills: Don & Bill’s Flop Tour; Chris Wallace Scampers Away

A Sunday morning nutjobs precipice: The obvious national criminal activity from the T-Rump and his half-wit cronies doesn’t even seem to hamper the scam as he remains free as a bird to plunge onto a dumb-ass grifting-lying tour with quarter-wit asshole Bill O’Reilly and upon their initial blubber-fest last night created a miserable bust in…

Linking Climate Change To Some Weather Events Are Easier Than Others: ‘Making The Connection To Tornadoes Is The Hardest Of All’

Piggy-backing on the tornado story from earlier as the question of climate change enters the picture of wreckage as we see twisters of such extreme, and nearly-rare and unusually violent storms, that wrecked the mid-west last night. However, unlike the heat waves from last summer where those high temperatures “…would have been virtually impossible without…

Twisters Unhinged

Another horrendous weather-related story way-topped the news cycle this near mid-day Saturday, and it tags on what we here in California’s Central Valley can expect starting tomorrow and running until mid-week. However, last night/today’s tragedy is fully within mid-America — a shitload of tornadoes whacked the region, including a mile-wide one in Kentucky which twisted…

Time Off Part Deux: ‘Obsessive Edit’

Here this late-afternoon Friday, the blog calendar has run seventeen days without a post — my longest period of no-posting in well more than a year, maybe longer — and returning to the InterWebs with a bit on a long-time personal project now nearly 30 years in the making. Hence, an ‘obsessive‘ urge to maybe…

Democracy Dying? — ‘A Moment Of Great Peril And Risk’

As America wades into the start of the 2021 holiday season there’s violent weirdness seeping into the festivities — along with a fatal SUV attack at a Wisconsin parade, Kyle Rittenhouse walking and a shitload of less notable people, places, and things screwing with any kind of spirit of the season. Add to the recipe,…

Climate Change At Work Again In The Pacific Northwest: Efforts To Combat World Warming Need Bolstering — ‘A Lot Of Inaction That Gets Disguised As Flexibility, And We’re Past That Time’ And On A Short Road To Catastrophe

(Illustration found here). As weather events are more and more being closely tied to climate change and the short shadow from the just-completed COP26 (which was another climate-action cop-out) is still weighing heavily in the brain, the storms in the Pacific Northwest keeps reminding all of us of a dire and precarious future close at…

California COVID Surge Despite High Vaccination Rates: ‘Still In A Risky Situation’

Sunshine again this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — there was deep fog earlier but burned off and we found ourselves with a nice autumn day, with warmish temperatures stoked by cool, wimpish breezes. In this region and for the time, about as good as it gets. However, can’t be said for that…

Scream Against The Night — Republicans Relentlessly-Ridiculously Ruthless

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…

Gosar Cesured — Instead of Remorse, Republicans Bullshit-Claimed Nancy Pelosi Has ‘Torn The Fabric Of This House Apart’

A bit of sunshine finally this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — an emotional good swing from the thick ‘radiation fog’ that’s been enveloping the valley for days on endless days. Sun is happy. Meanwhile, far back east in DC, Paul Gosar was censured today by the House and removed from committee assignments…
