Compatible Creatures by Bruce Maulden
War, Politics, and Life
Despite a shitload of shit happening all over on many levels and subjects, I doomscrolled on the InterWebs until my fingers wept and concluded the nowadays is an enigma wrapped in a riddle painted by a mystery shoved down a rabbit hole — am I clear? Sad and my fault, i.e., mea culpa to it…
Again doomscrolling this afternoon to the music of Ukraine still afire, with the flames getting higher. And an update from the Guardian‘s live blog not too long ago — results about the same as yesterday, but further along in being worse: Russian forces stepped up overnight shelling of Ukrainian cities in the centre, north and…
Instead of political bullshit — surfed the InterWebs this afternoon/early evening, but nothing odd or significant to catch the eye — I instead listened to the main title of one of my way-most-favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” with the music by the great Maurice Jarre. The scene of the film opening and bits of the…
Man, just tired and bored with all this shit, and this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, you got to stay hungry. In lieu of senseless, shitty snatches of news, a post-clip of a lesser moment — in the last several days for some reason beyond my comprehension, I’ve somehow been pulled into Bruce…
Infested with too much political bullshit this Saturday early evening here in California’s Central Valley — a situation increasingly more frequent than not as we spin through bullshit tornadoes of red-hatted nit-twits and massive is the bullshit meter.

Tired of the same old shit — time for a quick Monday evening serenade-musical respite of just listening for a few minutes to something other than the grinding noise clanking off this scary, freakish life we’re experiencing right now.

A supposedly special day despite reality — what will I find: I’m gonna let it shine I’m gonna let it shine Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me Hey, yeah, hey, yeah Heaven’s little light gonna shine on me (Shine) Shine on me, yeah (Shine) Come on and shine Keeping a shine going is Miss…
In lieu of dismal words this Friday morning on the eve of a holiday, another post in our ‘Destination‘ series of music and non-hand-wringing (last one here and if you want, follow the series backward from there) and in a spirit of maybe there’s a way out of this shitstorm we’ve found ourselves. Music does…
Shuffling beyond the sharp-cutting-edge of the news cycle this Friday evening, to just finish off a week of nasty, intimate, deep-seated views of an attempted coup/election steal from just about every known Republican/wingnutter in DC and just view a wonderful, nostalgic photograph — a look far, far back, and seemingly so wretchedly long ago: George…
Sunshine splashed across our late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley; now in the early evening, the sky is still nice and clear — we received fairly-heavy rain last night, and although the NWS had forecast thunderstorms for this morning, we in my neck of the valley experienced some nice weather all day This…
