War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Beyond the dung of baby-like news on a Friday evening — the Twitter machine pops a good T-Rump dump — ugly to showcase the T-Rump in any form, but unhinged, asshole he is without doubt: And further a poser sign of the ludicrous-idiocy of our age: In context: Along with that, the great political satirist…
In my usual news surf this Thursday afternoon, I was immediately struck by some sad, shitty legal news on T-Rump and the Mar-a-Lago document-dump clusterfuck — asshole T-Rump judge has flipped the switch and made an obvious outreach to keep the legal binds tied for the Orange Turd and his lawyers. Per The New York…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ [June 30, 1972], was originally found here.) Less than a year after Picasso finished the artwork above, he was dead from pulmonary edema and heart failure, so the title is fairly apt. He’d lived a good life for 91 years, though. Distraught by his death, his much-younger wife, and…
(Artwork by Amina Sallam, and found here.) Another fine autumn late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley and a good end to the weekend, weather-wise. In the sense of happy days, though, it’s all pretty much gone to shit. Although outside there are clear skies and sunshine, inside there’s an ominous, unhealthy tint to the…
In a seasonal move, instead of ‘heat domes,’ we’re now into hurricanes, typhoons, and ocean warming with the climate. Three such adventures this Saturday evening, one in the Atlantic, the other in the Caribbean, the last in the far Pacific — destruction and chaos: Two of my favorite climate/weather journalists Bob Henson and Jeff Masters…
Warm but way-comfortable this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — nice kickoff to the weekend. We’re supposed to stay this way for a few more days, which makes shitty-shit somewhat, near-tolerable. And in the discussion of shitty-shit, Republicans today rolled out their supposed agenda, another bilge crack of window-dressing non-particulars from 30 years…
Cool and crisp — if temps in the low 80s are considered brisk — in the outside this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — now just a day shy of the autumnal equinox (6:03 pm PDT tomorrow), the local environment is fully responding in kind with some really comfortable weather. This year is…
Rain clouds but no rain to speak of this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe we’ll get some more of the wet stuff tonight and tomorrow, but so far it’s been a bust for precipitation for the region. Of course, not so everywhere — maybe ask the folks way-wet in Japan,…
Overcast with on-and-off sprinkling showers this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — fairly-heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, so we’re going to be wet for a couple of days. In scrolling the news this afternoon — and today mostly — did run across a couple of tweets that seemed to tie together the horror…
Scrolling through the news this Friday afternoon, I came across some items of interest. Firsr, I hate optimism when it comes to polls, but I do want to feel good: Nutshell details at The New York Times this morning: The surprising Democratic strength has been bolstered by falling gas prices and President Biden’s success at…
