One of the scarier aspects of COVID-19 is its changing weirdness, not only in the quickly sprouting variants and mutations of the original coronavirus, but how science can do so much in the time we have — COVID is only about 18-19 months old, we here in the US have known about it now for…
As I posted last week, the 1990s were the best era of rock music, with the so-called ‘alternative rock’ really gaining a hold on the musical airwaves. And as I also wrote, despite the Elvis/Paul Anka era, then high school in the 1960s with the British invasion (the Beatles, Stones, The Who, the Kinks, the…
Just weeks following his election in 2008, President Obama did a couple of things that both pissed me off and let me down — one was naming Tim Geithner as treasury secretary (and later Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council), idiot assholes that shit on any ‘change‘ anyone could ever believe in…

Just a bit more than two months later, the Environmental Protection Agency came into being, founded by Republican Dick Nixon.…

We’re about to reach a weird-ass milestone…
In the wake of the George Floyd verdict, one of my all-time favorite songs, which comes from one of the most-neatest period of musical memories, the 1990s. Although I grew of age in the English invasion of the late 1960s, and the emergence of the American rock sound of the 1970s, the 90s carried the…
A most-wonderful surpise! Despite the presented evidence, I wasn’t sure if the jury would act in a humane fashion and find the asshole guilty of murdering George Floyd last May.

Beyond the knotty dung-drops happening right now — another shooting, closing arguments in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, Republicans whining about Maxine Waters talking truth, a drone flight on Mars, and so forth — a major event in the battle against climate change happens this week when the world is supposed to come together to…
