Netflixation

In a post from 2008 (titled ‘Media and the Brain‘), I quoted Seth MacFarlane, creator of “Family Guy,” and the “Ted” movies, amongst a whole lot of other shit, and an entertainment future: “I think what we’re seeing right now is a great cultural shift of how this country watches television. “Forty years ago, new…

Re-Class Pot — Scientists

Clear and bright this early Friday on California’s north coast — sunshine and cold temperatures, down to freezing before sunup. Accordingly, we should remain in similar conditions until Tuesday, or maybe not. Weathering unpredictably is a vital key nowadays — going beyond the horrid dumpster-fire of T-Rump’s shenanigans, new marijuana research indicates the weed needs…

Presser Pulp-Fiction

Clear and sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we catch a break from the wet weather — supposedly ‘Mostly Sunny‘ through early next week. Surreal is a tip-top word to continue into 2017 — freakish, near-illusory fright of T-Rump’s press conference yesterday makes ‘surreal’ essential to understand this bizarre scene of an example…

T-Rump ‘Fake News’ — Not!

Misty drizzle this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as the latest rainstorm winds down — maybe sunshine tomorrow. Big splash across the news-wires last night (BuzzFeed): A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information…

‘You’re Fired’

T-Rump is such an asshole in so many different venues, hard to keep count. Meryl Streep cited just one example last night — and apparently so shit-shook the T-Rump he idiot-twitted, of course — and another lesser-known, though, still a decent-sized slice of ugly-shit, occurred over the weekend. Shitbird’s team fired the 89-year-old announcer of the…

Stormy Monday

Rain in buckets-full this early Monday on California’s north coast, and some blustery winds, too. Just another episode of the rain-laden storms sweeping across the West Coast this week, and apparently no end in sight until Thursday, then it’s only for a day or so, then once again the cycle starts all over again. Covering…

ARs in the Air

Rain-to-drizzle-to-rain again this Saturday morning on the storm-tossed northern California coast — under the sweep of several ‘atmospheric rivers’ for the next week to 10 days. According to the NWS, those storms will bring ‘copious amounts of moisture‘ to our area, from tonight through next Thursday — 5.5-to-12-inches of rain for Humboldt County, depending on…

‘Sizzles’ of Weird

Dark-thirty already this early Friday evening on California’s north coast, looming overcast the preview of some supposedly wet rainstorms this weekend — yes, ‘storms,’ as in plural, more-than-one, the first tomorrow night, the others coming Sunday.. And the cycles mostly of the ‘atmospheric river’ variety, i.e., continuous heavy rain and gusty winds. These southern systems…
