Even a nice wind can’t mitigate the heat this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. A most-singular item with handling weather nowadays is whether you can actually weather the weather. In such nonsense, a contextual angle to all that shit is American democracy received high-weather marks today with…
Surprise, surprise this morning from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/coup — despite saying last week the hearings would be on a month-long hiatus, the group will hold one tomorrow. Maybe some drama unfolding (Axios): ‘Why it matters: Members of the panel had said they planned to postpone their remaining hearings until July.…
Hot with just a hint of a breeze this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — summer be here already in full force. Pleasant Valley Sundays a dream memory. Writing this blog — Compatible Creatures — for now more than 15 years (April 22, 2007), I usually have a subject matter for each post,…
Heavy heat this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — near 100 degrees again today and the same mean-hot shit is supposed to continue through next week. Friday, too, is usually news dump day. However, today was just a dump, one big-old shit-dump. The news cycle near-completely dominated by the SCOTUS shit decision to…
Despite knowing this was coming for weeks, SCOTUS decision today was still shitty as shit can be and puts America in the fucked-up category worldwide. Healthcare is below gun care — via a stinging editorial this morning from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: Experience around the world has demonstrated that restricting access to…
Despite the illegal shit performed by the T-Rump and his minions shown to be way apparent, the actual accountability might be lost on the American public, who maybe don’t understand when you ask for a pardon before you’ve been charged with anything is a good sign of guilt. The House committee investigating the Jan.6 insurrection/riot/coup…
In advance of this afternoon’s House committee hearing on Jan. 6, a look at a near-miss in the horror of the T-Rump and America if the attempted coup had succeeded — lies cornered by lies: Ivanka has her daddy’s blood. In a must-read piece today by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money, discussing the horror of the…
Hot, heavy air outside this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine burns a hole even sitting in the shade, with a near-sizzling aura that’s zero fun. Weather is still just the weather. However, something’s that hard to weather is the granite-brain of Republicans, who on the one hand will call the T-Rump…
Hot and delightfully breezy this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley – although it should be boiling and the air heavy as shit (supposedly right now we’re just one-degree shy a hundred), the outside ambience is not so bad, making ‘delightfully breezy‘ a true and poetic weather report. Wind can shift the sense of…
Only idiots allowed: Adding to the theme, Digby last week noted the power of Republicans pulling back the curtain on the T-Rump: It is a smart strategy to tell this story through Republicans. It should quell some of the mistrust that’s been sown by Trump and his allies over the fact that the committee only…
