War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Warm and bright-sunny this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — after several days of morning roof-top frost and overnight near-freezing temperatures, summer-approaching-like weather today, an indicator of the real heat to come. And contextually and seemingly as if a finger snap, we’re already nearly two months into 2022, and shit won’t let go.…
(Illustration via The Washington Post this afternoon). Another day of war in Ukraine as Vlad Putin’s half-baked, unhinged operation appears to be bogging down in its own shit, facing not only way-brave bravado from Ukrainians but way-disapproval from the world. Natalia Balasynovych, mayor of Vasylkiv southwest of Kyiv, and the Russian cruel intent: ‘“You can…
Entering the third day of the crazed, maladjusted invasion of Ukraine, Rachel Maddow set the standard in revealing the real asshole, piece of shit that’s Vlad Putin — a whine-fest way-anti-democratic and dangerous turd: Rachel back in full form last night after a six-week hiatus with a precise sizing-up of Vlad and the object of…
(Illustration from The New York Times earlier this morning). As I type this post, I’m watching Joe Biden do his thing as all of us come to grips with a shitty, un-called-for war in Ukraine, and how Peter Doocy is a total asshole. And now Biden’s finished — reporters are still shouting questions. I missed the…
Beyond Ukraine this morning, but still on just how extremely awful are Republicans and why we’ll probably never get a true handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a problem not of the so-called, and touted ‘misinformation’ tactic, but of plain-old out-n-out lying. Vaccines with boosters prevent serious illness, and even death — pure fact.…
Once again, back again this near-mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — expecting some rain this afternoon, but this is drought infested lands, so I don’t expect much. Despite not feeling real good, at least I don’t feel real bad. The cold/flu/whatever/maybe COVID I’ve been experiencing the last 10 days or so has become…
After nearly a full week of the ebbing of sickness, I’m feeling somewhat better this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — although I never ventured out today, we experienced another bright, beautiful one in a continuing string of spring-like weather, which doesn’t augur well for the awful coming heat of summer. Enough of…
Unfortunately, the last three days I’ve been too slow to give a shit on just about anything — even doomscrolling the news is ho-hum with frightening mental spells — and I couldn’t get my desire up to scale to post shit on the ton of shit taking place all over the shit place. What happened…
(Illustration found here). Anxiety-inducing news out of eastern Europe this Saturday (a throwback to the ’90s, or maybe the 1930s?) is the mad escalation of the dustup/invasion of Ukraine by Vlad’s Russian army — as the image above notes, the largest country on the continent against the second-largest seems right. Although I’d been figuring Putin…
A grifter’s grind. (Illustration found here). In a world gone near-mad with shitstorms festering all over — war in Ukraine, democracy in peril, crazy-ass truckers are closing down cities, and now T-Rump has a literary grift with the same inept, lazy and fact-free menu like all of anything he’s involved with or is around. A…
