War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In advance of T-Rump’s state of failure speech tomorrow night: (Ben Jennings’ cartoon found at the Guardian). History reveals even the most shitty of US presidents honored America — Michael Tomasky at The New Republic this morning: We cannot say remotely the same of Donald Trump. He is largely and proudly ignorant of those traditions;…
Bright, sunshine-filled late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coupled with some pleasant temperatures about as good as it gets around here for a winter’s day. However, coming this holiday weekend is a forecast of a strong turnabout — seasonal shit of rain, thunderstorms and maybe snow for the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range…
Musing on writing as a form: A flashback post, and igniting were thoughts generated on the mechanics of writing, as for me, personally. And despite a way-shitload of subject matter, could sometimes feel no real emotional plea to sit at my laptop and formulate the appropriate words. In some way, the literary desire has been…
Drizzling rain and chilly just past the noon hour Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — like the rest of mankind, we’re seemingly part of an environment going to shit in a hooped-wire basket. Due to the horror-chaos from the T-Rump and associates, climate change is no longer a vital subject matter, despite the clusterfck…
(‘Spider Of The Evening‘ by Salvador Dali, and found here). Lately, some bit of news reflection strikes me between the eyes and creates a desire to pass on some words signifying/explaining our current political/social/cultural content. This Friday afternoon it’s Josh Marshall’s conclusion to his daily newsletter at TPM (paywall) about ICE-produced, real-time terror/horror activity and…
An accumulation of the shitstorm of a clusterfuck the T-Rump is bringing to the table of life on this planet. It might be a Monday early evening here in California’s Central Valley, but history/time-wise the clock seemingly will strike midnight in seconds from now. Figure worst-case scenario: Amanda Marcotte notes just how I feel: “I’m…
Quiet and bright this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. This whole weekend has been a turnaround as both days were sunshine and clear-blue skies with way-little wisps of that nasty, depressing tule fog we’d been inundated with the last couple of months. First post in nearly six weeks — too heart sick and…
Deep gray-cloudy, ominous skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re in the aftermath of an AR and the ground is most-likely way-close to being saturated with rainwater. The downpour stopped a few hours ago, but looks/feels like it could start back up any minute. Reportedly, in for a breather for the…
Rain again this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — a wet story of horror: (Illustration by Australian political cartoonist Fiona Katauskas, and found this morning at the Guardian.) In this terrible, dangerous, and surreal age of the T-Rump, there’s so much shit flooding the zone that a lot of serious particulars are swallowed…
Experiencing the experience of an ‘atmospheric river’ this Thursday morning, and it’s exactly what you’d expect — it’s wet. And the bottom-feeder news on the bottom-feeder on one of the worst human beings ever: Here it comes again: Wet be the season, or not, yet once again here we are … (Illustration out front: ‘The…
