War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A chilling life beyond politics is the weather, which is searingly bitter-cold right now across the US, and historical (CNN this afternoon): Already, about 2,000 records for low temperatures have been shattered this past week, CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said. On Tuesday alone, at least 20 cities suffered their coldest weather in history. Many more…
(Illustration found here). Despite the breakdown of a lot of democratic shit this past few years in many places worldwide, including the US, along with other social/cultural aspects, we’re all bound together by the only-one planet we inhabit. Climate change is a shared problem, and it’s an issue maybe also resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic.…
Rain and more rain here in California’s Central Valley this Thursday afternoon, and feels like it ain’t never gonna stop. In the news it appears an endless cycle of rain, too, mostly of the nutcase variety, of stories piled high of how the GOP is infected with a bigly-binge of crazy — like this: Or…
Weather and climate hit the top spot for news this Wednesday morning as winter storms coast-to-coast are wreaking havoc across the board — here in California’s Central Valley we’re in the middle of heavy rains and high winds.

One of the top-notch items on President Joe Biden’s agenda is a return full-steam to addressing climate change, which under T-Rump was not just put on a back burner, but tossed-off the stove completely.

UPDATE This occurred after I posted last evening: Now back to the show… Along with Joe and Jill Biden taking-up residence in the White House, also for the first time in four years — dogs. The Bidens have two German shepherds, Champ and Major, but I couldn’t find any news about them arriving at the…

Best so far in this genre (great h/t to Miss Cellania): 1. The…
California is soaring with COVID-19 cases and death, and now the state’s Central Valley (where I reside) is quickly going to shitsville with ICU-bed capacity dropping like a rock (h/t BJ): We’re in a world of hurt — from the LA Times this morning: The last time Dr. Eyad Almasri had a day off was…
As the COVID-19 coronavirus sweeps across the planet, all of us have a shitload of time on our hands and a lot of sofa-dwelling, binge-TV time, and there’s a lot to view.
