Okay, then. The East Coast is supposed to get some nasty weather with them calling for snow from Maine to Mississippi. It's apparently a "bomb cyclone" which is an actual thing. Basically, it's a winter storm with a low-pressure center where the barometric pressure drops significantly over a day. The number's 24 millibars in 24 … Continue reading Friday, March 11, 2022

"Fascism" is a word that gets bandied around a lot these days for everything from invading a sovereign nation to stores requiring customers wear masks. It's like "patriotism" or "terrorist" or "Christian," it's been abused to so much that it's almost meaningless. Indeed, fascism was set up to be a very specific thing, a political … Continue reading Wednesday, March 9, 2022

It looks like, to all intents and purposes, Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine. He gave a pre-recorded speech saying Russia would engage in a military operation to "demilitarize" the country and "denazify" the government. However, he does want to "protect civilians" against their own government. That sounds all the world like regime change. It should … Continue reading Wednesday, February 23, 2022

Another week's almost done. Nothing too terribly interesting has happened that I feel I can be of any help on. Sometimes you got to find it out on your own, y'all. Plus, I'm a bit discombobulated and not into being part of the world. So we'll just look around and see what's what. That being … Continue reading Friday, December 10, 2021

Well, all right. Let's do this. I don't think I've gone over gerrymandering, but Texas (among others) is trying to pull some stuff. The Department of Justice has gotten into it, so this is the perfect time to make sure we all know what we're talking about. First things first. The aforementioned U.S. DOJ has filed … Continue reading Wednesday, December 8, 2021

President Joe Biden held a town hall last night on CNN. Now, there are two minds when it comes to Biden and the corporate media. If you're conservative, of course, you're convinced they think the sun shines out of his ass because that's what the "liberal media" does. I'm not here to argue about it … Continue reading Friday, October 22, 2021

It's the first day of Fall and, brother, it feels like it outside. It's been in the lower- to mid-70s all day and will be in the lower- to mid-50s tonight. It'll stay like this the rest of the week and get back up to another round of 80s/60s next week. No rain in the … Continue reading Wednesday, September 22, 2021

Today starts the last full week of September. I guess yesterday actually started it, but let's not quibble. In any event, I have some Actual Paying Work to get through this week so let's knock this out. The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it would hear the challenge to Mississippi's highly restrictive anti-abortion law. In short, Mississippi … Continue reading Monday, September 20, 2021

It's the first day of September. August has come and gone, and we're all looking forward to shorter days, cooler weather, and football. I usually keep up with this better but I haven't had to fill space or try to come up with a decent intro lately. Tropical Storm Ida is making its way through … Continue reading Wednesday, September 1, 2021

I know we're starting late but you're lucky to be getting this. For certain values of "luck," of course, let's not bullshit ourselves. It has indeed been one of those days. I'm honestly sick to death of writing about COVID and the virus rampaging through Mississippi, but it's about all I can do. We topped 5,048 … Continue reading Friday, August 20, 2021
