War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Giant, white-fluffy clouds with expansive gaps of clear-blue skies allow a shitload of bright sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — temps in a mild mid-70s range as our early-fall weather continues its run. After a summer considered the hottest ever for the state (and maybe the world), a joyous relief. News…
Another noon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — weekends bleed forward it seems into next week really, really quickly. Time appears to flash past even if you’re doing absolutely nothing at all. Except for the asshole of all living assholes. In all the years, the best, basic description of the horrors of the T-Rump…
Although I spent a goodly chunk of my younger life as a resident of Florida — from fourth grade, high school, and college — and in that distant past of my youth it wasn’t a bad place to live, there’s no more. The entire operation, beyond a shitload of problems caused by a repugnant Ron…
Overcast and a bit on the warmish side this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe some showers are in the wind for this weekend, but nothing we can’t handle. At least, for right now anyway. Meanwhile, MAGA Republicans in Congress today acted their part — racist assholes with kicking Ilhan Omar off…
Overcast and breezy this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — sunshine most of the day and warm, now getting towards evening, a bit cool and comfortable outside. Enjoying the weather before the summer hot-mess madness. And of madness in the now day-to-day antics of the entire, whole Republican party. Not only are GOPers…
Another sad, horror-of-guns in America today (via The Washington Post): ‘Eighteen children and three adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary, Texas Sen. Roland Gutierrez (D) said Tuesday on CNN. He said he learned of the higher death toll from a briefing with the Texas Rangers.‘ Initial reports from earlier and a disheartening…
(Illustration: MC Escher’s ‘The Second Day Of The Creation‘ (1925), and found here). 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…
Overcast under threat of rain near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although no precipitation the last couple of hours, forecast is for supposedly ‘heavy rain’ this afternoon. Time will tell, however. A resident of California now 40 years last month, I was a southern guy in my youth, especially spent a big chunk…
In the vast web of weird, there’s always a violent odd to take the cake — makes the weekend so enjoyable, and weirds out a Saturday evening. Self-possessed, self-centered know-it-all, and shitty, too, all in Arlington, Virginia: Crazy yet in line with the GQP and the cruelty the point: In an apparent case of mistaken…
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…
