War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Today a bridge was crossed. Although there’s been a decade’s worth of shitty shit happening lately, an incident in T-Rump’s off-the-rails, unhinged work in making the world is a bit more ominous, chillingly predictable and immensely dangerous for everyone. And really, extremely obvious: Views like a movie screened in real time. And one thing is…
Clear and quiet this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. (Illustration: “Collapse Of Perfection,” oil on canvas, by Peter Kim, and found here.) Shit’s getting deeper by the day. I’ve found it hard to post nowadays with such pessimistic ugliness polluting the news cycle nearly at a 24-hour-a-day clip. Nothing but horrifying shit-bending scope…
Overcast and cold this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Along with some freezing temps the last few days, we’re forecast for another ‘atmospheric river‘ to wash our way Thursday/Friday, pelting us with maybe three-fourths an inch or so of rain. One must weather the weather whether you like it or not. Today a…
An alteration for the current nowadays: I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence And so the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations…
What we really need in these anxious, shit-hitting-the-fan times: An afternoon’s moment within the next couple of hours. And a particular doomscroll on how America is getting fucked, and fucked in a hurry. We’re currently cracking up, way off the rails, and displaying sad, harrowing signs we’ve maybe reached the end of the track for…
Rainy and cold this mid-morning Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a crank in the levers of the real-deadly horror of the T-Rump, supposedly in the middle of winter: Via the Guardian this morning: A run of record-breaking global temperatures has continued, even with a La Niña weather pattern cooling the tropical Pacific. The…
Clear and a bit chilly this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — no matter how you look at it, in the morning we’ll face another Monday. If we survive the night, that is … And adding fuel to a shitlist of ugly shit from that stinky piece of shit, the T-Rump, the last…
Drizzling rain this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly a few days of wet ahead. A good thing considering wildfires, drought, and such I haven’t posted much lately. Even if you just half-assed follow the news, you’d still come to grips/understand the anti-creative horror of what we’re endearing. And if you pay…
(Image: ‘Vibrant Emotional Art,’ generated by AI, and found here.) Early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. The day before the shit hits the fan in real-time, and in an official capacity — no longer talk but shitty action. Tomorrow morning at nine Pacific Standard Time — noon in DC — the T-Rump will be…
Bright, though, already fading sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And from all indications while out in the backyard just a while ago taking a couple of tokes on the old pipe, the air was really, real still with hardly any wisp of wind — what breeze there was felt chilled, stipulating…
