War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A huge, worrisome crinkle in the nowadays is the never STFU chorus rasping from the T-Rump, nausatingly complicating ferment asshole studies in American political life. And the stupid shit never ends: Some background to this jibberish via the Daily Beast this afternoon: In recent days, conservatives have latched onto remarks made by Facebook chief Mark…
Another scorcher outside this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s 103 degrees right now, with barely a breeze. Despite a couple of ‘coolish‘ days immediately ahead, more blasting heat is on our schedule well-past Labor Day. It’s been a seemingly-quick, hot-ass summer, though, the entire clock/calendar, keeping-time apparatus feels like it’s on…
Once again hot as dog shit this Thursday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — if the heat of dog shit can be measured — (it’s 104 degrees outside right now). Summer blisters the anvil (WTF!). In the midst of the scorcher, our state today made a nice gesture for our future weather (Vox):…
Another hot one as we near evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot is hot be. Just as I’ve said before, Republicans are not only cruel assholes, but haven’t a clue how to actually govern: A huge pile of empty, careless bullshit — from the transcript at NBC News (names have been altered…
A major aspect of Republicans is they’re slimy, lying assholes. Even worse for such as Ron Johnson: Upclose details via Raw Story this morning: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has refused to speak to the Jan. 6 Committee because his participation in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election only lasted “a couple seconds.” During…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher (1946), a ‘mezzotint,’ and found here.) A stroll through some science items this early-evening Saturday, in an effort go beyond just climate change news on the research/study front — plus I couldn’t work-up much of an interest from the news cycle today. As been stated before I’m sick, near-to-the-point of…
Instead of a news item generating interest for a post, I found music instead — Friday is a sought-after day. Sick to the bowels of T-Rump and the entire most-ugly and weird-ass Republican political apparatus, I turned to song of verse longing for a day at the end of the work week. No better way…
Another hot one building outside this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still under triple digits right now, but the heat-blasting doesn’t always intensify until late afternoon. We’ll weather the weather, as we have so far, and eventually, hopefully, we’ll persevere. Anyway, spied this earlier — Ron DeSantis epitomizes the entire Republican…
In moves with sound effects similar to a noose tightening around the T-Rump came today as one of his way-longtime financial stooges pled guilty in New York to fraud, while several former White House officials said the T-Rump is full of shit declassifying intel documents willy-willy — “total nonsense” said one. Hopefully, time and space…
Here we are, shamelessly and audaciously without an ounce of any marketing savvy, crying for you as readers of this blog — that handful of sad intellectuals off the vast InterWebs — to buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press. Although set in the genre FICTION/Romance/Fantasy, “Corona”…
