War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny-bright and windy this early-evening Thursday here on California’s north coast, another good-as-it-gets day, with an added benefit of some sweeping sea breezes. Artwork, Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse’ (found here), is a bite into the horror of nationalism, an optimistic prediction of its downfall. In sequence, today marks 75 years since the D-Day invasion, June…
Deep-looking white-gray skies this Monday evening on California’s north coast, making it a short space to darkness ahead. A dog-run to Little River Beach in early afternoon carried thin clouds, emphasis on ‘thin,’ allowed faded-yellow sunlight, occasionally a slice-shot of brightness. And warm, too, not much of a breeze. The NWS calls for ‘Showers‘ the…
Horrific project the T-Rump boys are developing with Iran — most-ludicrous and way-scariest analysis came from the dumb-shit lips of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, as per USAToday this afternoon: ‘Asked if he is worried about Bolton pushing for military action, Paul said: “I think that the president’s instincts are good on this and hopefully he’ll listen…
Illustration to the left, Salvador Dali’s ‘Galatea of the Spheres’ (found here), seems appropriate for our times, a surreal DNA scattering, ‘…creating the illusion of three dimensions.’ A consequence of flying-apart molecules leads to becoming pissed and sad: ‘According to the 2019 World Happiness Report, negative feelings are rising around the world — and the…
Just when the black-comedy shit gets real, and it’s WTF: One of the few actual capabilities of the T-Rump is in sowing uneducated chaos — an acknowledgment of that talent last month from Joe Balash, assistant secretary for land and minerals with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, speaking podium-wise at a conference for folks…
Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here). A small, tiny post this afternoon at one of my favorite sites, ‘Lawyers,Guns&Money,’ made me sad: In the recesses of the internet, there are still people plugging away on blogs. We are one of them! But as one of the few independent blogs with actual readership still in…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Baby Map of the World, 1939,’ found here). Sunshine-warm this early Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — drizzled a bit earlier, but still managed to take the dogs to the Ma-le’l Dunes awhile, but apparently should have stayed longer as it’s been dry for the last couple of hours. However, the NWS…
Dreary, outside a bit of waiting-for-the storm weather this mid-day Wednesday on California’s north coast — the sky a deep and seemingly up-close ash-white, dusted with blustering winds, slashed on occasion by rapid-fire drizzle-droplets, heavy with anticipation. Yet the air cuddled within a pleasant warmth — all ominous ingredients for a bigly disturbance a-coming. Reportedly,…
Overcast and gray this late-afternoon Friday on California’s north coast — no sunshine around here today. Although the NWS is calling for heavy-warmth this weekend (60s-to-lower-70s along the shoreline, 70s-to-lower-90s, inland), fog embedded clouds keeps us at the beach mostly-cool. Which be cool… Seemingly nowadays, the news cycle has become insane. And even on the notorious…
Gorgeous this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — bright-blaring sunshine, a warm-feeling breeze, a way-nice deferment from wet weather. No retrieve from the T-Rump disease, however. A right-on explanation for the canker on the world came yesterday from Down-Under — Gareth Evans, Australia’s former foreign minister, in a speech described in lyrical, mouth-full accuracy…
