War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Warming up outside now near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we expect 90-degree air this afternoon, and maybe close to 100 tomorrow. Summer ahead doesn’t look too charming for us out on the Left Coast. And mainly for everyone everywhere. Beyond the violence of white, hate-filled assholes and crazy-ass Russian dictators, and…
Breezy-warm this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — been a hot weekend, probably in the mid-90s today (reportedly mid-80s right now), about the same yesterday. Nice weather, sad-shit news. Top of the cycle today was feedback and flashes off the mass shooting yesterday at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, and the horror of…

In the science contextual slipstream from this morning, a couple of cases/reports/studies/essays/whatnot ever you want to call, and with an interest for the nowadays. This first one is a horrid historical clusterf*ck for no reason other to be pieces of white-ass, holier-than-thou…
Spotty sunshine with thick, white cloud cover this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — also, a brisk breeze all day long has kept the outside ambiance remarkably cool. Reportedly expected to stay this way all week with more-seasonable weather (i.e., hot!) forecast for the weekend, and most-likely to continue warming up until triple-digit…
Breezy and chilly this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re forecast for some cool weather for the next few days, maybe take the sting out of the approaching summer heat. Among the various news items today were reports of the T-Rump’s rally last night in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in support of his desired Senate…
(Illustration: From ‘The American Instructor.’ via American Antiquarian Society, and found here). In the shadow of this week’s SCOTUS bomb, the American scene has been in some kind of turmoil — hardcase cruelty exposing Republicans as living/breeding a hypocritical lie that could drown us all. Yet history has already set the precedent. Molly Farrell at…
Overcast with occasional sunshine this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — earlier this morning looked like we faced another hot, sweltering day, but instead, later on, smoggy-looking/Tule fog-like clouds covered the sun, creating a relatively cool afternoon. A nice respite in the oncoming swelter of summer. Meanwhile, among the news items piling up…
Sick place, America, right now. In much of our goings-on, there’s a shitload of cruelty, hypocrisy, and self-centered screaming against doing/being good to our fellow humans. A certain view disallows any other, with malice aforethought. That leaked SCOTUS opinion has raised the stakes on natural freedom and choice — the future is dark, dystopian and…
Tidal wave, bomb, blow-out, and maybe hundreds of other words could have been used today to describe the SCOTUS leaked opinion from last night, and the punch back from everyone with a thought on the matter, yet there’s only one real meaning to this shit — cruel and usual circumstances at last on the podium…
Near midday Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — still nice outside with a cool, refreshing wind, which without would be heat-filled catastrophic. Also on the humane ‘catastrophic‘ scale is the major news of the-now well known leaked SCOTUS opinion outlawing Roe v Wade, and the shit has totally hit the fan, especially from anyone…
