As this way-horrible time-frame of 2020 grinds down to mere hours, the pandemic will soon touch upon a full year of rampage in the US (The New England Journal of Medicine): On January 19, 2020, a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington, with a 4-day history of cough and…
As COVID-19 cntinues to surge apparently unabated, this morning Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received a vaccine dose while pleading for all Americans to get inoculated, rightfully: “Literally this is about saving lives.” She’s way-correct, but the problem is logistics and idiocy — the COVID vaccine roll-out has been anything but smooth (h/t for the tweet…
In a kinesthesia-like experience, I’m really getting sick of the T-Rump and everything about him — today another cruel swip at humanity: A piece of incompetent shit. During the ‘Stand for Peace’ segment, an image of a Nobel Prize is shown — what-the-living fuck! Via Mediaite: The timing here is…not well done. Amid overlapping economic…
Although the T-Rump did sign the COVID bill last night, it was torture to get hin to do it, emphasis on a mentally-disturbed asshole-prick (h/t on the tweet Daily Kos): The news article mentioned above comes from USAToday at the end of last month; written by Dr. Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, a psychiatrist affiliated with Weill…
UPDATE: ‘Per CNN: President Donald Trump has signed the massive $2.3 trillion dollar coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law Sunday night, according to multiple sources, averting a government shutdown that was set to begin on Tuesday, and extending billions of dollars in coronavirus aid to millions.’ A sigh, followed by a whimper… ***…
Time draws nigh upon us for end-of-the-year lists, and to-do lists for the 2021 (in Before Times, this tally was generally called, ‘New Year’s Resolutions‘), but first we have to say good-fucking-bye to 2020 — which termination of said year coming slowly-way-quickly. Best so far in this genre (great h/t to Miss Cellania): 1. The…
This Saturday evening instead of crap, a look at a few science research/reports published recently on various subjects related to the clusterfuck that’s 2020, and maybe some hope or whatever for the coming new year. (Illustration found here). So to begin: An odd new study indicates we learn as we get older to value a…
Raining here this Saturday morning in California’s Central Valley — and once again feels like it’s raining all over the world, especially in Florida where the T-Rump sits his big ass blathering about nonsensical shit while the US burns. While a way-seriously required COVID-19 relief bill is still unsigned, he golfs and acts like the…
An imbalance in the $900 billion Congressional COVID-19 relief bill has unplugged the Twitter world, spawning the hashtag, ‘ #LetThemEatCake,’ with notable sarcasm: Although I covered some of this imbalance in a post this morning, apparently the whole thing is rife with unnecessary shit — some finer details via The Washington Post this afternoon: But…
In the laborious era of the coronavirus there’s been a couple of bright slices of light recently, one of course, the vaccines, and the other a hard-accomplished COVID-19 relief bill passed this week by our near-worthless Congress, though, the paltry portion lies plainly on the side of shit-stamping Republicans. Definite the divide as captured by…
