Saudis Bled Arizona’s Aquifers Dry? Legally?  It appears so: BUTLER VALLEY, Ariz. — A megadrought has seared Arizona, stressing its rivers and reservoirs and reducing water to a trickle in the homes of farmworkers near this desert valley.

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on July 15, 2023 1 Comment

Nearly all of Hollywood — oh, OK, just the actors and writers — is on strike, an ominous situation. Remember when the writers walked out in 1988? That brought on the flood of reality TV programming that led to the Kardashians. With both the writers and actors gone, producers might turn to robots and AI […]

Song of the Day 7/14: Tracy Chapman, “Fast Car”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on July 14, 2023 6 Comments

The Bud Light-ization of the MAGA Mind

Filed in National by on July 13, 2023 12 Comments

The Bud Light boycott by MAGA nit wits basically worked.  People who drink shitty beer moved on to some other shitty beer because Bud Light gave a trans person a case one time. That success means everything MAGA decides is doesn’t like is going to be “the next Bud Light”.    In Florida, for example, […]

Personally, I fail to see why the sentence was not death […]
