War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Just near-sleep-scrolling through the InterWebs the last couple of days without the energy, drive, or literary desire to post on anything, from all our environments, be it one-sided horror politics, genocidal war, or the-becoming hothouse weather. Reality nowadays is wretched. So far today, the only real pass-along item I spied is a deep-dive into the…
(Artwork: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here.) Sunshine and heat this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — today is one of the steps on a rising-temperature stairway we’re going to experience in the next couple of days. Although we’re in the high 80s right now, maybe triple digits by Saturday.…
Seasonal heat fills this way-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — this might be the actual, real first day of summer, though, the official first day is still an exact week away. Temps going up from here on out — that’s the start mark. Also on the mark, the aftermath of T-Rump’s arraignment…
(Sketch-image of T-Rump in court by Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, and found here.) Although scenes today of the T-Rump entourage in Miami appeared at first look as normal, low key and, maybe, a bit bland, but in reality the scene was surreal as shit. One of the most despised, despicable, dipshit assholes on the planet took a…
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
Overcast again this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — under skies without much sunshine, the temps are lower than normal as summer heat keeps being pushed further and further back into the short-range future. However, we’ll gladly take all the time we can before our seasonal air boiler gets really cranked up, supposedly…
End of the work week this late-afteroon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — yet just the beginning of the weekend and T-Rump’s nasty, shitty little dance with the law. One of the best explainers of this whole T-Rump classified documents indictment deal can be found at Politico (h/t tengrain), and well beyond my meager…
Wow, step away from the InterWebs for a couple of days — my son made a wonderful surprise visit and I had no time to post, or even barely follow the news — and the shit hits the fan. T-Rump was indicted by the DOJ in a mass of charges, 37 in all, on the…
Once again in the face of a rolling-thunder of American/Ukrainian political/war news stories this Wednesday morning here’s another plea to please buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last year via Outskirts Press. Generally, about once a month, I appeal to your literary sensibilities as it is worth your time if you…
(Illustration found here.) Overcast skies cool the air this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re entering a small respite for the next few days from the on-charging heat from the approaching summer days ahead. Temperatures are in the high 70s right now compared to the high 90s at the same time yesterday…
