War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine and warm skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — once again, a day in the life. News nowadays makes me more than a little depressed. I doomscroll the InterWebs seeking ideas for a post and get so shitty-assed gloomy I don’t want to set at the laptop and write. Over the…
Sunshine and warmth this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Instead of the horrific political news, how about some horrific environmental news — climate change is here and growing worse. Although there have been warnings blaring for decades, the extreme weather shit scenario is about to hit the fan quickly and could be even…
In an age of uncharted, crazy shit the violence of living seems like a heavy, quick-approaching virus instigated by being frighteningly fearful of people one to another. Gun violence, of course, but also just random, political-influenced shit, as in the use of a baseball bat in an insane lash out at society as a fractured…
Once again sunshine and well-warm temperatures this late-morning Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — and one more episode of a pre-summer’s encounter with quickly-approaching summer. In the trough of news cycling today through the InterWebs already, one on the popular backburner is media itself, especially journalism and the future of news reporting. In the…
In doomscrolling across the InterWebs this fine, hot Monday, the biggest jump-out is another case of a literal bat-shit crazy on democracy. Violence in wholesome politics: Details via The Washington Post just a few minutes ago: A person with a baseball bat went to U.S. Rep. Gerald E. Connolly’s Fairfax, Va., office Monday and assaulted…
Bright and hot as shit a bit after the noon hour Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — similar situation for at least the next 10 days as we are set to experience a pre-summer, summer boil time. Out in the backyard just a few minutes ago doing a B&M (‘Sweet,’ wood tip) and the…
Thick sunshine and way-warm temperatures this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — first time in a while a ‘T-shirt‘ day and strong indicators of a hot, blistering summer coming quickly. We’re forecast for maybe some mid-90s temps this weekend and into next week. As such, let’s set aside a highly deplorable T-Rump and…
Sunshine and cool air this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — an absolutely beautiful day as a chilly breeze made for another pre-summer, pre-baking episode of wondrous weather. Just about in the rearview mirror, though, as temperatures are forecast to melt upward starting tomorrow, and maybe hit triple digits by Sunday. Shit firestorm!…
In anticipation of the shitstorm produced by The T-Rump’s Town Hall on CNN this evening, let’s cut away and review the E, Jean Carroll verdict from yesterday. Or at least some definite all-women winning side of the courtroom particulars: Lisa Rubin at MSNBC this afternoon on Carroll’s win for women: Indeed, in her triumph, Carroll…
Crystal-clear skies, a shitload of sunshine, and warming temperatures this Wednesday late-morning here in California’s Central Valley — feels like a slow review of a coming hot-ass summer. Meanwhile in the actual reality of America nowadays — one of the more-shitty, sadly-shocking entities I’ve seen today, and we’re still shy of the noon hour (h/t…
