War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A shift of venue — I just got a Polaroid iS126 digital camera from Target and now in practice mode with a new device. Simple but as always for me and any type apparatus, it will take a certain amount of time in getting my shit together with it. An inexpensive addition to the blog.…
Sunny Sunday afternoon in the backyard here in California’s Central Valley. If the world wasn’t so canker-like and weird the scene could be described as normal and pleasant, neighbors laughing, children playing, and a sense of it all would be pleasant, too. Wrong, of course, in way-twisted form-and-fashion. Off subject as a breathing apparatus, this…
Neatest-funny thingie I’ve seen yet during this special time of this so-far special year — great h/t to Bill in Portland Maine of Cheers&Jeers found at Daily Kos. If you don’t read C&J every weekday morning (except Friday, then in the afternoon) you should receive a lifetime ban from getting anywhere near the kiddie pool:…
In the face of bad-to-worse news, today some cheer on the environmental front, and a fleeting indication mankind could have a chance to survive, if only we just get-along, and cooperate. (Illustration: ‘Example of a typical jet stream chart across the earth,’ found here). Climate change (now a ‘crisis‘) is the result of how our…
Another day in the life. Although we’re under a ‘shelter in place‘ order here in California, I had to visit the post office this morning to mail-off some ‘essential‘ shit least I end up in legal crap. Some things we got to do, even while engaged inside a Twilight Zone episode — I went with…
(Illustration found here) Nearly three days into a ‘shelter in place’ routine, the world is freaking out, and shifting into a dystopian landscape getting darker by the day. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order on Thursday under California’s Emergency Services Act is a ‘stay home except for essential needs‘ mandate and we can be charged with…
While we seem to be going through an old Twilight Zone episode, or an updated Steven Soderbergh movie, the heartfelt sense really enabled an ancient clip off the classic “Scrubs” TV show from 2006 — life imitating gag-infested art. Who’d figured: Details via the Washington Post yesterday: As the dire consequences of the coronavirus outbreak…
Even on the weekend the wind blows, which way-or-not depends, and so the coronavirus continues to barrel-down upon humanity with full, unchecked glee — we’re coupled with a pandemic and an idiot in charge of handling said pandemic. Reportedly, the T-Rump has finally been tested for the virus after spending a shitload of time with…
America is on a threshold of some heavy shit. (Illustration: Elizabeth Warren, found here). Yesterday, my most-favorite Elizabeth Warren went down in sad flames in the Super Tuesday primaries played out over 14 states, and American Samoa — Mike Bloomberg’s only win. He finished in better position than Warren in that respect, as Joe Biden…
Health issues continue to dominate as a second victim of the coronavirus’ dreaded ‘community spread’ route of the pathogen’s expansion, where cases have no known origin, has been discovered here in California. First case reported on Wednesday came from Vacaville in Solano County, the second noted today reportedly lived 90 miles away. Neither have traveled…
