War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Cool and way-pleasant this near-noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — well under triple digits as apparently we’re right now in a real-short lived (two days!) episode of crisp temperatures and comfortable ambiance when outside. However, hot shit hits the fan starting Wednesday (but probably tomorrow) with another deep-dive into a furnace-like heat wave…
Another scorcher outside this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — it’s 103 degrees right now, with barely a breeze. Despite a couple of ‘coolish‘ days immediately ahead, more blasting heat is on our schedule well-past Labor Day. It’s been a seemingly-quick, hot-ass summer, though, the entire clock/calendar, keeping-time apparatus feels like it’s on…
Once again hot as dog shit this Thursday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — if the heat of dog shit can be measured — (it’s 104 degrees outside right now). Summer blisters the anvil (WTF!). In the midst of the scorcher, our state today made a nice gesture for our future weather (Vox):…
In keeping with his ‘Big Fucking Deal’ of a presidency, Joe Biden today made a deep dive into the future — he finally announced nipping student loan debt, and although the action benefits all Americans in the long run, Republicans whined like little shit-babies without the irony of shamelessness. Biden’s been on the cusp of…
Heavy-aired hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 100 degrees outside right now, probably the high for the day, and another episode in our latest heat wave this year. Cooler weather forecast for this coming weekend, so we’ll just wait as we whine about insufferable conditions. Weather be changing in a hurry.…
Another hot one as we near evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot is hot be. Just as I’ve said before, Republicans are not only cruel assholes, but haven’t a clue how to actually govern: A huge pile of empty, careless bullshit — from the transcript at NBC News (names have been altered…
A major aspect of Republicans is they’re slimy, lying assholes. Even worse for such as Ron Johnson: Upclose details via Raw Story this morning: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has refused to speak to the Jan. 6 Committee because his participation in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election only lasted “a couple seconds.” During…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher (1946), a ‘mezzotint,’ and found here.) A stroll through some science items this early-evening Saturday, in an effort go beyond just climate change news on the research/study front — plus I couldn’t work-up much of an interest from the news cycle today. As been stated before I’m sick, near-to-the-point of…
Instead of a news item generating interest for a post, I found music instead — Friday is a sought-after day. Sick to the bowels of T-Rump and the entire most-ugly and weird-ass Republican political apparatus, I turned to song of verse longing for a day at the end of the work week. No better way…
Another hot one building outside this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still under triple digits right now, but the heat-blasting doesn’t always intensify until late afternoon. We’ll weather the weather, as we have so far, and eventually, hopefully, we’ll persevere. Anyway, spied this earlier — Ron DeSantis epitomizes the entire Republican…
