Finally off the shit list — today Merced County where I live skipped up a notch from the worse in California. From the Merced Sun-Star this morning: Merced County officials say they received good news from the state on Wednesday, as they were given permission to move into the red tier for reopening the economy.…

Along with COVID killing people all across the planet (according to John Hopikins University, as of this afternoon, 563,375 Americans have died, 2,951,968 worldwide), the pandemic will cause problems well into the future, which will have treacherous effects on humankind’s ability to function in…
(Illustration: ‘The Starry Night,’ by Vincent van Gogh, and found here). A break from the blood-thirsty throes of the nowadays with some idiotic instances of musical crazy awash with non-connecting vibes of absolutely wackiness — beats the living-shit out of T-Rump calling MoscowMitch a sonofabitch, wouldn’t you say, an ass calling the hole? And first,…
Although I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, Merced County where I reside is still in California’s worse purple tier category as apparently the rest of the state seems to be finally getting out from under the coronavirus blanket — per the Merced Sun-Star last Tuesday: Merced County has lagged behind others in…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
Another lopsided shit-event at the US Capitol this morning (AM here on the West Coast) when apparently some random guy tried to ram Capitol police with his car, then jumped out with a knife. Two cops were injured, one fatally, and the suspect was shot dead — just WTF: As the situation is developing, some…
As the ‘normal‘ is made the new ‘abnormal‘ in this day-and-age, Joe Biden is taking the bull by the horns and moving this country in the right direction despite the over-stuffed spasms of Republicans, who are drowning in bile and ignorance without lifting a finger. Hence, this afternoon the first gathering of Joe’s team: Some…
As Joe Biden continues to be as popular as ever, and carries on with poise and determination, the wallowing-in-pity T-Rump maintains his lying status as a goof-ball dipshit, and after hyjacking a wedding repection over the weekend to rant bullshit, today he lashed-out at his own COVID historical reality. In a blathering statement released from…
(Illustration: ‘Why Nurses Do What They Do,’ by Emily Thomas, and found here). Just I figured a long, ugly while ago, we’re far from being out of any kind of woods in conjuction with overcoming the crazy-ass COVID-19 pandemic, as mini-surges seem to be developing across various part of the US — and this despite…
(Illustration: ‘Bang,’ blotted ink drawing by Andy Warhol (about 1960), and found here). Despite two terrible mass shooting the last week — 18 killed in total — and a seemingly dearth of such events during this pandemic-influenced era, doesn’t mean people aren’t dying from gun shots, the exact opposite. Americans are shooting each other at…
