One thing Republicans can’t handle is pushback, and their response is generally a baby-whine of pity and way-dumb self-righteousness, and this morning a fine example — Kevin McCarthy got his feelings hurt by Nancy Pelosi: Just on Monday did McCarthy finally name his five Republican picks for the House Select Committee to investigate the January…
Another billionaire shot himself into space again today, Jeff Bezos, asshole-founder of Amazon, tripped out this time, rocketing into space and returning 11 minutes later — it wasn’t a real-hero time (BuzzFeed): ‘But what really captured everyone’s attention was the interesting shape of the rocket. It has inspired a lot of jokes and drawn comparisons…
Already the deep-makings of another hot one this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Heat is all over the place. Back east in DC another heated dust-up between prime asshole Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci, which again leads to the question of whether Paul is an idiot or just a way-abnormal shit — he…
Heavy with heat this late afternoon as all the ‘cool and nice‘ of this morning is way-gone — just now out in the backyard doing a B&M (Wine-Wood-tip) while it being 105-degrees with the air stroked-dense like a dry watercolor. Back inside at the laptop with the AC blasting — so also in the news…
Still cool and nice this late-morning Monday here in California’s Central Valley, but it’s just a facade to the boiling-hot shit that’s waiting on the nearby sidelines — yet that’s how it always starts; oh, how nice, ‘then later there’s running and screaming‘ because the parking lot is too scorching.

Despite the obvious: ‘“There is a clear message that is coming through: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said at a Friday briefing of the White House COVID-19 Response Team. “Our biggest concern is we are going to continue to see preventable cases, hospitalizations and sadly deaths…
Weather and its ascribed consequences continue to hold sway this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, we’re heavy-hot as we’re forecast for another ‘mega-heat-wave’ type-roll for the next few days, but happily not all that intense: In the original ‘mega-heat-wave in Canada last month, more deaths occurred than first reported — via CTV News…
Genius in rhythm and time — saw this earlier today at Miss Cellania‘s and it’s one of those can’t-look-away thingies: Now, guaranteed to bring you right back down — weather-impacts off climate change are being experienced worldwide, and maybe escalating, too. Not only out here in the West with our ‘heat domes,’ but also with…
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not.
