War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A musical respite from the terrors inflicting the planet, especially all things having to do with the T-Rump, which is about every-fucking-thing — in the specter of reminiscing about the Beatles, a couple of days ago I caught this really-good cover of a Beatles song, a different spin proving the emotion in the original. (Once…
Beyond the threat to democracy, the T-Rump is also a total threat to all of humanity — report of a new poll at EurekaAlert yesterday shows 56-percent of US adults believe the top issue we’re facing today is climate change, and per politics, ‘62-percent say they are willing to vote for a candidate because of…
In many ways, the T-Rump is a horrifying virus, a disease upon all kinds of things, from politics and governance to clean water, health care and social programs — he’s a destroyer, lurching from one obilirated sector of life to another, everything the T-Rump touches dies. A human infection, a virus, an endemic canker with…
In some nifty news beyond the DC beltway — Peter Jackson’s documentary of the Beatles recording and musical hijinks creating “Let It Be,” and even roughing-out songs for “Abby Road,” is getting ready for release.

Earlier in the dawn-like hours, original point of this post was to be a non-newsy update on medical marijuana based on an op/ed on the subject I only spied this morning, which was already more than a year old.

In the era of strange: Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours And here it comes again: Plus, I hope this ain’t happening — one of my all-time favorites, though, haven’t heard it in awhile: Onward into the weird of 20/20… (Illustration: Salvador Dali’s…
In the midst of an age of awful anxiety, here’s more to the weight — from the Guardian this morning: The heat in the world’s oceans reached a new record level in 2019, showing “irrefutable and accelerating” heating of the planet. The world’s oceans are the clearest measure of the climate emergency because they absorb…
Asshole T-Rump is even worse than we already know — today’s PsyPost: New research suggests that President Donald Trump’s affinity for fast food can influence the public’s dietary intentions, and potentially contribute to a greater disease burden on society. The new study, published in the journal Appetite, builds upon research that has shown a link between…
Sunshine and a bit warm this late-afternoon of the second day of 2020 here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, a brightness after some pretty-thick morning low-clouds/fog which chilled the shit out of everything. Weather in the age of climate change. And far to the west, Australia is frying and burning from a climate ripped by…
Clear and cold this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast — best to enjoy the sunshine as rain is forecast for Saturday, and will supposedly continue until maybe Monday evening. Along with the wet, high winds expected for at least tomorrow. Just a couple of sunny days next week, then more rain called-for starting…
