War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright sunshine, warm temperatures this mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another work week twitches to life again with various insane scenarios. A way-enormous insane crack in the sense of America nowadays are Republicans — tweet of the day … so far: Last Friday, in the aftermath of the Republican National Committee vote…
After a week — I’m back! First real post in seven days. During this time I went through a final edit of my first novel I’m self-publishing — read about the whole project here, and the post from last Saturday here. Updates on the matter as they become available. And the news cycle didn’t take…
Daylight fading as we approach early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, a fine finish to a day that started with a deep-gray fog, which burned off quickly into bright sunshine and warm temperatures — another one of those about-as-good-as-it-gets, though, way-early in the year. Weather like this usually doesn’t arrive until at least next…
In dangerous territory as we are right now, even butterflies appear in possible jeopardy: An e-mail from the National Butterfly Center was shared this morning at Daily Kos, explaining the shit-situation, pretty straight-forward and on point: We are writing to let you know the National Butterfly Center will be closed Friday, Jan. 28 – Sunday,…
A most-disheartening slip of events this morning in DC — just a tiny time space after the House passed voting-rights legislation, and thus, sending it to the Senate, and shortly before Joe Biden was at arrive on Capitol Hill for a push on the measure’s passage, nefarious nit-twit Kyrsten Sinema blew the shit all over…
Bypassing the roaring news cycle this evening, a brief current-affairs history insight. In this past year, along with a horrifying, never-ending pandemic, severely-serious Republican democracy dismantlement (and pandemic enhancement), and a shitload of lesser ills, we’re also in a scary-freaky mechanical-tech outburst, exacerbating the crazy. Nostalgia for just a short time ago: (Illustration found here).…
Dense, chilly fog here mid-day Sunday in California’s Central Valley, a full-scale return to our ‘tule fog‘ bullshit once again after some rain last week, with the version this morning a thick, near-opaque gray in absolutely-zero wind — zilch in any kind of movement. A simile in the ugly Joe ‘MonsterMash’ Manchin — : In…
One despairing item of the T-Rumpian/GQP destruction of American democracy is the assholes are seemingly doing such horrible shit right out in the open — if not in the open at least with minimum cover. Case in point is top-tier news a T-Rump boy had fashioned a ‘PowerPoint’ slide show on how to steal the…
Fog again this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — tule gloom thick and depressing. After days of this shit, life seems to be a little sadder and ominous than even in the thinnest sunshine, which after a certain time seems farther and farther away. Whining, I know, but what the shit? Also in…
Couple of important, and deadly news stories this Monday morning (among a shitload, I know), which paint a terrible future. First and most immediate — COVID is now indeed a Red beast: (Illustration: Source: New York Times database, Edison Research; and found here). A real, hardcase reason we’ll seemingly never get rid of COVID, at…
