War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today 22 years ago was a Tuesday. And a swift change of direction for America, and the world. Of course, this day a couple of decades and change ago, we really didn’t understand just how shitty and horrible was GW Bush and his boys. They upset the fabric of humanity and it’s never really been…
A way-short and spicy post this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — a glimpse into an appalling horror of the unmitigated T-Trump as an asshole, brain-dead, ‘deplorable‘ dipshit. In all this time, I’ve been unaware — a SNL sketch from 2016 is still way-pertinent for right now: Again, this a reflection of reality…
Sunshine and breezy warm this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — some light drizzle this morning, then a nice, easy day followed. We are definitely easing into autumn. Beyond the news of nowadays (shitty as it is), there’s a gem of an item from long, long ago — the assassination of JFK and…
Bright sunshine with comfortable temperatures a few minutes past the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — again, a nice ending to a rather nice work week as we stagger into the autumn season. And according to a UN report out today, we’re more than staggering into bad climate-change times if mankind doesn’t…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…
In regards somewhat to my post from earlier today on the insane, lop-sided delusion of MAGA nutcases loving the criminal, nasty aspects of -Rump’s entire catalog of shit, and the uphill climb Joe Biden has in order to overcome such an idiotic political landscape. Although Biden might be the best, gets-shit-done president since FDR, and…
Sunny and warm a few minutes after the noon hour this Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — summer falling into autumn nice and easy. So far, anyway. In doomscrolling the news this morning, I became a bit worried about some bits of really-insane polling for the 2024 presidential race — despite the absolute terror…
Another musical death was announced today — Jimmy Buffett has died at 76. And apparently, he was way-more than a wonderful songwriter and lifestyle persona: Beyond the artistic whimsical, however, in that sense of being ‘lucky‘ with a certain financial sense (Barron’s): ‘Buffett built an enormous business empire valued at several hundred million dollars: Margaritaville…
Ashen-gray (if there’s such a coloring) skies this Friday evening — weather is just climate done locally. In between sea-level rise and hot-ass ocean water, the just churned through Hurricane Idalia is a notable and horrific example of our future due to bad-shit-already-here-and-even-worse-shit-coming climate change — although obvious, not being taken seriously is a problem.…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
