It’s Bernie or… Trump??(updated)
The lovely and talented Susan Sarandon was on Chris Hayes the other night, talking about the election and campaigning for Sanders. Sarandon has the internets in an uproar because she has stated that she will not vote for Hillary should Hillary win the DNC nomination. “I just can’t bring myself to … vote for that” (the […]
We interrupt the end of civilization(updated)
Just wanted to note that Bernie Sanders, who availed himself of a chance to perform with animals (a wayward finch, it seems) in a way that worked out much better than Trump’s bad day with an eagle, has won Washington State and Alaska primaries by huge margins, with Hawaii yet to vote. Alaska gave 80.7% of its vote […]

The GOP takes back the White House
Prepare to say Hello to President Willard Romney (?!) This is a scenario under which we have a three-candidate race for the White House come November. Some caveats: First, this is NOT my original thought going here. It was posted on Huffington Post a few hours ago, and if I find the link, I’ll repost it. […]
VOTE FOR TRUMP NOW!!!
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I’ve posted multiple pro-Bernie Sanders items over the past few months. I’m not a fan of Hillary and I’m not a fan of The Donald (or any of his GOP rivals). I need to explain that I’m posting pro-Bernie information out of a sense of fair play. The piece […]
Bernie takes Michigan
I had been planning a different post a few days ago. The Bernie Sanders campaign felt like it was stalled, and even ardent backers of the Vermont Senator were writing the kinds of FaceBook posts that were easy to walk back. Michigan and Sanders win in the primary there has shaken up the game. There […]
The Roof is On Fire — Looks like February of 2016 Was 1.5 to 1.7 C Above 1880s Averages
Originally posted on robertscribbler:
Before we go on to explore this most recent and most extreme instance in a long string of record-shattering global temperatures, we should take a moment to credit our climate change denier ‘friends’ for what’s happening in the Earth System. For decades now, a coalition of fossil fuel special interests, big…
More Wit & Wisdom from Brian
Brian Kenny has been posting more of his stories. I’ve been a bit… bleak here for the past few weeks, so I thought I’d lighten things up. Sadly, the studio in the picture above is no more. Brian and his art colleagues were driven out by exorbitant rent increases. So it’s nice that he […]
Planet Hospice at Ithaca Fringe!
It has come to pass that I will be performing my play Planet Hospice (a lighthearted exploration of the sixth stage of grief, gallows humor) at the Ithaca Fringe Festival this coming April. Dates of the festival are April 14-17. Tickets are going to be amazingly cheap. Planet Hospice is a lecture/clown performance on climate […]
2 C temp increase is already here
When I was younger (which could be any time in the recent past, actually), I was posting here that world temperatures had already increased due to warming by a number of around .85 c (or 1.5 F). That number was based on a lecture I viewed on Youtube by my go-to expert on such matters. […]
