War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Doomscrolling the Ukrainian news train this afternoon. A shitload of shit on the InterWebs, easily outperforming everything else. Especially poping news stories in the unique placement of the Ukrainian event as a social media platform all its own, and Vlad Putin being shown as an asshole who will eventually lose his misbegotten shit. All captured…
Approaching late morning and the noon hour this Friday here in California’s Central Valley — overcast with gentle sprinkles, a weather pattern known lately on the Left Coast (and other sections of the Western US) as a rainstorm. Reality in tiny droplets. Today another look at media in this crazed war-and-political theater period, and how…
Just a few minutes after the noon hour Thursday here in California’s Central Vally, as the real-time exposition of the devastation/massacre in Ukraine continues slipshod nasty for another day. News just goes bad to worse. Now near-about dark over there. A reality-glimpse this morning into the midst of unchecked horror of one Ukrainian town: Nutshell…
Another Ukraine daily war episode — nearly a week’s worth now — and apparently from all indications the whole horrible affair could be nasty and long-lived until there’s an end or whatever nutcase Vlad Putin deems as an end, and the world titters on the tatters created by the action. Putin appears a number of…
Last night’s SOTU is now history, but Russians in Ukraine and Republicans in America keep clogging the news drain pipe this mid-day Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — warm again, too, feels like it’s getting warm all over the world. Enough of that shit, though, spot on — most-likely biggest news so far this morning…
Ukraine continues to blast on top of the news cycle here about mid-day Tuesday in California’s Central Valley — and like the long- hot summer seemingly straight ahead, shitty war news is most-likely to just get worse. Russkies this morning (CNN): ‘“In order to suppress information attacks against Russia, the technological facilities of the SBU…
In context of the current civilian-war zone in Ukraine, I came across some interesting tidbits while doomscrolling the InbterWebs this afternoon, a goodly chunk maybe mainly on how Vlad Putin is an unhinged asshole who could nevertheless make the entire planet suffer for his cruel brain farts. Michael McFaul, an Obama-era ambassador to Russia, noted…
Warm and bright-sunny this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — after several days of morning roof-top frost and overnight near-freezing temperatures, summer-approaching-like weather today, an indicator of the real heat to come. And contextually and seemingly as if a finger snap, we’re already nearly two months into 2022, and shit won’t let go.…
(Illustration via The Washington Post this afternoon). Another day of war in Ukraine as Vlad Putin’s half-baked, unhinged operation appears to be bogging down in its own shit, facing not only way-brave bravado from Ukrainians but way-disapproval from the world. Natalia Balasynovych, mayor of Vasylkiv southwest of Kyiv, and the Russian cruel intent: ‘“You can…
Entering the third day of the crazed, maladjusted invasion of Ukraine, Rachel Maddow set the standard in revealing the real asshole, piece of shit that’s Vlad Putin — a whine-fest way-anti-democratic and dangerous turd: Rachel back in full form last night after a six-week hiatus with a precise sizing-up of Vlad and the object of…
