War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine and early-spring-like temperatures this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — these days are the ones we’ll fondly remember in about another month or so. Or maybe earlier. I’ve got a feeling summer’s going to be a hot bitch, and not the good kind either. Also, a bitch still this morning is Ron…
Once again sunshine and well-warm temperatures this late-morning Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — and one more episode of a pre-summer’s encounter with quickly-approaching summer. In the trough of news cycling today through the InterWebs already, one on the popular backburner is media itself, especially journalism and the future of news reporting. In the…
Gray clouds and weather-wise hints of possible rain showers this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — life continues. Yet that’s about normal. What infuriatingly continues, too, is how the MSM treats one of the most gosh-awful people who’s ever lived, the T-Rump, despite how shitty the prick actually operates. Prime example is the…
Today is the 16th birthday of Compatible Creatures, a small, tiny, insignificant plot of space on the InterWebs I’ve called home for a seemingly long time. As with any birthday, age appears quickly fluttering now well beyond a year-by-year creep to be currently on a massive, headlong rush to somewhere even I can’t even grasp.…
Sunny and breezy this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. And the biggest news item on the cycle today is a bummer: ‘Fox News agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday for $787.5 million, according to an attorney for the voting…
Plenty of sunshine burning orange this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — another gorgeous day in a growing line-up of beautiful days that could easily spoil us rotten. This is still winter, remember? Although some rain is forecast for maybe over the coming weekend, nothing heavy-duty in the future picture weather-wise, except the…
Barbara Walters seemed like Queen Elizabeth — she was always there. And now there’s a gap in life and a hole in the history of the now. I came of age under the journalism of Walters and the notion of shit that’s taken for granted nowadays was on the edge of breaking news for more…
Thus, sing The Beatles — rain plus-more rain this miserable near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re on the leading edge of another ‘atmospheric river‘ gushing toward us from the coast. In fact, according to weather people, a couple of those environmental phenomena are forecast to be heading our way with a lot…
Slight slivers of blue sky this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley after a day of thick, cruel tule fog, though, a scenario likely to repeat itself for the next few days. Despite the whine, I’m living in a rather nice place compared to a massive chunk of America right now. Weather is becoming…
One of the giant problems in handling the bullshit from Republicans is the journalists (supposed journalists) and other media types covering the Republican bullshit. And for instance, from yesterday: Coverage of asshole Republicans is at a fever-pitch dumb-ass. The above isn’t just the rich players like Upchuck Todd at NBC, but also ABC‘s Martha Raddatz,…
