War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(h/t Miss Cellania): In the current state of affairs, there’s really no conversation, dialogue or discussion about just about anyting in the good, old US of A. One of the two parties to this colloquy is mean spirited, and thrives on lies. Neither of the two biggest subjects right now – the runaway COVID-19 virus,…
Unsurprising, but shitty-scary anyway. COVID-19 has gotten so bad here in Califoria, today 41 of all 58 counties were demoted down into the most-restrictive level of the fight against the virus, into the dreaded status of purple.* Gov. Gavin Newsom made the announcement, even insinuating a curfew may be coming. (Illustration found here). California currently…
Sunshine this late-afrernoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — weatherwise for this time of year, about as good as it gets. Fog heavy again this morning, but it burned-off fairly rapidly, making it nice outside. ‘Nice‘ is really relative, and regarding our climate, nothing is really nice. (Illustration found here). Last week’s Hurricane Eta…
I was shocked, shocked! (h/t BJ): And even worse, but in the same killing field (h/t Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place): Click on the tweety bird for the full thread — sad and exasperating. The entire COVID-19 infrastructure is fucked, as a shitload of people are not paying attention to what is happening around them,…
Fog and a chill in the AM, but now early-evening Saturday has mostly clear skies with fading, but-still bright sunshine, and the air is much warmer. Weather here this morning in California’s Central Valley was just a preview to our immediate future — endless Tule fog and coldness. Horror of the fog is driving, reportedly…
Looking like maybe some rain this Friday evening here in California’s Central Valley, it’s warmed-up a bit and the air feels moist, but we’ll wait and see. Meanwhile, life has become a lengthy disaster movie. Coronavirus is like a whatever-the-fuck that won’t go away. And when it does appear to be slowly, possibly, going away,…
A crisp tint to the air here this Thursday afternoon in California’s Central Valley, fading sunlight with barely a breeze paints a picture of winter-approaching for these parts — cold and fog. Weatherwise a reflection; America is experiencing a storm of sorts, with the enormous question right now is whether the tempest will get worse,…
(Illustration: ‘Neil Young,’ by graphic artist Andre Koekemoer, and found here). As I performed by daily routine of an early-morning first-sweep of news sites on the Interwebs, which includes one stop at IMDB to check the birthdays — along with Anne Hathaway, Ryan Gosling, and a host of others, including the late-great Grace Kelly, there…
The T-Rump is one nasty-faced human being. Culture in the face of such profound ugliness and an appreciation for it is really, really hard to explore, much less bring to any kind of decent closure — T-Rump has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and looks it. He’s pure, worthless shit. Surfing the news this afternoon, I…
Most-likely the horrific main horror from off the T-Rump and his crowd is the killing fields produced by runaway COVID-19 in just about the entire US — 139,855 new cases just yesterday, 10.4 million total; 242,070 deaths with 1,448 yesterday. Meanwhile, on the freakish other hand of a way-dangerous pandemic and the assholes who dwell…
