War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
We’re in an era of ‘you can’t make this shit up,’ shit: Background via the Guardian‘s live blog this morning: The Trump Death Clock, the real-time tracker that seeks to put a figure on the number of Americans who have died needlessly during the pandemic as a result of White House inaction, has just gone…
(h/t Miss Cellania). A couple of items weirder than normal, and ghastly, too. Our life scenario seems to be edging in a general direction for a horrible situation-event to explode (even worse than right now), as per this account from The Washington Post this afternoon: The White House is seeking revisions to a document drafted…
The entire T-Rump operation is one of lying and double-blabber (Raw Story): Story at Mediaite this evening: During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was confronted over comments she made weeks ago downplaying the threat of the coronavirus to the United States. In late February, McEnany spoke with Trish Regan — a…
Breezy and bright this early-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley. There’s some big clouds and along with the wind, keeping the temperature down. At least in the shade. Backyard blogging again, getting to be habitual and enjoyable, at least until summer. (Laptop work-table amongst the foliage). As the outside world boils along, I have the…
Bat-shit crazy times, huh? And this from the LA Times this morning: Scientists have identified a new strain of the coronavirus that has become dominant worldwide and appears to be more contagious than the versions that spread in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study led by scientists at Los Alamos National…
Early-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, and the heat is already heating. A breeze does keep it down a bit, but only so much can be done. In the backyard again, and still nice in the shade — getting warm, though. (External Station — even mystic bamboo in the faded background). One conclusive result…
Breezy and warm just after the noon-hour Monday here in California’s Central Valley. According to WeatherUnderground, we’re a bit under 80-degrees right now, supposedly climbing to 85 later today — a hot week with maybe hitting 98 by Friday. Backyard blogging again, breezy and comfortable, a little work-station in quiet seclusion surrounded by other apartments…
Sunday early-afternoon here in California’s Central Valley. In the backyard again, blogging to outside sounds while being outside. Realism insinuated as normal. (My plague portal, or just my laptop). A most-horrible note of this pandemic is the T-Rump — a deadly virus to handle while putting-up with a terrible asshole that is literally killing people…
In the wake of a deadly pandemic there’s some off-shoot positive news impacting the climate — magnitude fairly strong considering such a short time span, according to the New York Times yesterday: Global greenhouse gas emissions are on track to plunge nearly 8-percent this year, the largest drop ever recorded, as worldwide lockdowns to fight…
Sunny and breezy a few minutes past the Thursday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad and nowhere like the last couple of days, the cool wind helps, I’m sure — blogging yard-style once more, grown used to doing the laptop business outside (inside mostly on the iPad), my daughter’s apartment…
