War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In our way-modern world social media opens shit up (except in the T-Rump’s case, closes it down) and exposes reality, as identifying the assholes from Wednesday’s insurrection encounter at the nation’s Capitol, leading to arrests and worse — family members going WTF. Best shot (h/t tweet BJ): And social media has also brought home, literally,…
Watching an unreal scene from DC via MSNBC — the T-Rump MAGA storm troopers have breached our Capitol and now a visual like a vista from some third-world country: And way-surreal: Even Republicans enough is enough (Guardian live): Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman, described Donald Trump’s tweet to his supporters storming the US Capitol as “cowardice.” Speaking…
Time draws nigh upon us for end-of-the-year lists, and to-do lists for the 2021 (in Before Times, this tally was generally called, ‘New Year’s Resolutions‘), but first we have to say good-fucking-bye to 2020 — which termination of said year coming slowly-way-quickly. Best so far in this genre (great h/t to Miss Cellania): 1. The…
Politics of health nowadays is deadly. Here on this Tuesday evening, the country is being ground into mush by a pandemic fueled in part by a huge faction of Americans sprouting bullshit from the Republican bullhorn, twisting facts into lies and killing 300,000-plus people. The huge problem with getting a handle on COVID-19 is politics…
Beyond any doubt, this year has been one for the record books. And just today, the continuing much-needed relief sense of sorts in knowing Joe Biden is the new president, and the horror-toad T-Rump is on his way out the door. Maybe the first respite from off all the shit spewed in 2020 so far;…
Despite not posting for a good while, I just found this so fucking way-black humorous and beyond the grade of fast-breaking psychotic incidents it had to be put out there (h/t Guardian live): Billy Barr is a pure, clean asshole of a douchebag. Four tests in just a bit more than two days. Scared shitless…
Earthquake just a few minutes ago, and according to the USGS, the shaker, located south of Lone Pine, California, registered a 5.8 on the Richter Scale. I was lying on my bed surfing the InterWebs on my iPad when I felt a couple of ‘ripples,’ a physical impossibility without some external, weird help, and I…
Although the irony is absolutely lost, the T-Rump claiming Joe Biden ‘“doesn’t know where he is, or what he’s doing” ‘ is way-remarkable in the context of the reality actually infused in our so-called president. In our current health predicament with the coronavirus, the T-Rump is an idiot, a dangerous idiot: For those of us…
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Scholastica,’ found here). Near-clear and chilly this Saturday evening here on California’s north coast — mostly sunny today, though, some cloud coverage throughout, and on the dunes at Little River Beach, the scene was way-nice, and warm, too. The dunes make for a most-excellent wind break. Supposedly dry and sometimes-sunny until Wednesday,…
(Illustration: M.C Escher’s ‘Three Spheres II,’ found here). Cloudy and cold this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast. Bright sunshine for most of the day, and real-chilly breezy, too. Started darkening-up late this afternoon, with rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Sunshine back supposedly on Thursday for a couple of days, then the cycle…
