On the eve of T-Rump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, it’s obvious his time in office was 100-percent inhumane, though, inciting an insurrection only second in a gargantuan list of horrible shit. most-hideous the one he’ll probably never have to face any accountability — the…
America is at a nasty precipice, and whether we go over and down, or turn and walk smartly to the nearest bridge-crossing will be known in the next few days, if not sooner. We’re not only caught up in the surge of an actual catastrophic pandemic, but also face an infectious virus oozing through the…
A major concern for this country in the immediate-short future is the cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs stain found in public discourse, coming full-bore from Republican mouths and anuses (correct spelling) with very little stop-gap time between lies, conspiracy theories, threats of violence, and other assorted idiotic bullshit that nearly inundates news cycles. And no shut-down or even…
Circumstances so far in 2021 appear to make this less-than-a-month year a ratcheting-up squel to 2020, though, with a way-different hand at the national helm there’s some sure footing at least for a while. Still, we’re in the deep-midst of a worldwide virus clusterfuck, plus a democracy showdown in the US, with now an overall…
Rain and more rain here in California’s Central Valley this Thursday afternoon, and feels like it ain’t never gonna stop. In the news it appears an endless cycle of rain, too, mostly of the nutcase variety, of stories piled high of how the GOP is infected with a bigly-binge of crazy — like this: Or…
One scary COVID-19 phenomenon is whenever there’s a perceived downward curve on infections/hospitalizations/deaths our whole shit melts away and we breathe a sigh of relief, reopen closed societies and try to regain a sense of normalcy, but seemingly always too soon. Although the numbers have dropped, they’re still shitty (John Hopkins University): As of this…
One of the top-notch items on President Joe Biden’s agenda is a return full-steam to addressing climate change, which under T-Rump was not just put on a back burner, but tossed-off the stove completely. In November, Biden named John Kerry to head the assault, making the move even more serious by creating for Kerry a…
(Illustration: Woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai, ‘The Great Wave,’ found here). In human behavior it seems, accepting belief in a nut-job conspiracy theory and handling COVID-19 misinformation are two distinct dumb-ass positions. This for sure has been an era of conspiracy theories, pop-up delusions and deceptions galore, but with the virus it…
Yesterday was one of those watershed-type days. Personally, I received an excellent follow-up medical review at UC Davis off my cancer surgery more than two years ago (next exam in a year), and nationally, Joe Biden became POTUS. The latter also a big thumbs-up in the health category. And this morning, a spring in the…
In a matter of hours, an era of weird-ass shit of constant lying and whining and bitching comes to an end. America did indeed have a first with the T-Rump — a way-obvious villain in the White House. All the shitty presidents past, James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, so forth, and even Dick Nixon, at least…
