War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Breezy-warm this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — been a hot weekend, probably in the mid-90s today (reportedly mid-80s right now), about the same yesterday. Nice weather, sad-shit news. Top of the cycle today was feedback and flashes off the mass shooting yesterday at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, and the horror of…
Breezy and cool this near-mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — weather just about out of sync with normal reality. Reportedly, we’ll see a 30-degree rise in temperatures by Saturday as the ‘whiplash,’ lopsided shape of our meteorology continues unabated. A circumstance already predicted. And going beyond cruel-ass SCOTUS, cruel-ass Republicans, cruel-ass Vlad Putin,…
Spotty sunshine with thick, white cloud cover this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — also, a brisk breeze all day long has kept the outside ambiance remarkably cool. Reportedly expected to stay this way all week with more-seasonable weather (i.e., hot!) forecast for the weekend, and most-likely to continue warming up until triple-digit…
(Illustration: From ‘The American Instructor.’ via American Antiquarian Society, and found here). In the shadow of this week’s SCOTUS bomb, the American scene has been in some kind of turmoil — hardcase cruelty exposing Republicans as living/breeding a hypocritical lie that could drown us all. Yet history has already set the precedent. Molly Farrell at…
Sick place, America, right now. In much of our goings-on, there’s a shitload of cruelty, hypocrisy, and self-centered screaming against doing/being good to our fellow humans. A certain view disallows any other, with malice aforethought. That leaked SCOTUS opinion has raised the stakes on natural freedom and choice — the future is dark, dystopian and…
Tidal wave, bomb, blow-out, and maybe hundreds of other words could have been used today to describe the SCOTUS leaked opinion from last night, and the punch back from everyone with a thought on the matter, yet there’s only one real meaning to this shit — cruel and usual circumstances at last on the podium…
Near midday Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — still nice outside with a cool, refreshing wind, which without would be heat-filled catastrophic. Also on the humane ‘catastrophic‘ scale is the major news of the-now well known leaked SCOTUS opinion outlawing Roe v Wade, and the shit has totally hit the fan, especially from anyone…
In the vast web of weird, there’s always a violent odd to take the cake — makes the weekend so enjoyable, and weirds out a Saturday evening. Self-possessed, self-centered know-it-all, and shitty, too, all in Arlington, Virginia: Crazy yet in line with the GQP and the cruelty the point: In an apparent case of mistaken…
Overcast this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — rain maybe tomorrow or Saturday, but we don’t expect to get very wet. Distracted and tired of the news cycle clamoring today and couldn’t really get interested in one item, or even two (although there are thousands of news stories out there fighting for attention),…
Sunshine this Monday early evening here in California’s Central Valley — we were forecast for some rain today but after a few hours of overcast, the clouds seemed to have disappeared and brightness will most-likely carry us to dark and on into the week. Weather is sometimes a toss-up. In my scrolling (doom or otherwise)…
