War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine and still air this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — cloudy and overcast for most of the day, and then for some reason,shifted to clear-blue skies late this afternoon. Turn-about is fair play in wearthering the environment. Meanwhile, the environment of reality on our planet is shitty and depressing. Constant pings of…
Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — even right now it’s reported to be 91-degrees, even with a slow-fading sun. Today was also my first T-shirt day this year — usually, I wear at least a sweatshirt in walking Leroy, my daughter’s Basset Hound/Grayhound mix, and until just recently a…
Sunny and way-nice this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, and we had better enjoy it while we can, the temperatures are expected to climb this week with the low-90s boiling us by the end of the week. Summertime quickly comes. In the flurry of horrible overseas news, one good spot of sunshine for…
News cycling through time creates a sense of funny (not necessarily ha-ha funny, though) and draws from a seemingly way-deep well of assorted, vile subject matter, from the absolute horror of T-Rump to the overall horror of Republicans, there’s no end of them nowadays. Lying about everything is the Republican way — elections are stolen,…
Near noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another brown-cloud day as we spin the last day of March from a quickening 2022 calendar, a fourth of the once-labeled ‘new year’ about gone already with the approach of the appropriately tagged April Fool’s Day tomorrow. Of course, don’t be an optimist as way-more ugly…
America is not immune to political/illegal shenanigans — and the criminal enterprise that was the T-Rump era in the Oval Office looks to have been the most corrupt, good-grief awful governmental operation in our history. And apparently, he became increasingly way-more villainous and ignorant toward the end. Here it is late in the afternoon, and…
Cloudy with rain showers on the horizon this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Weekends have always blown by in time, though, nowadays there’s not much space between Friday evening and Sunday night/Monday morning. Too much shit spatter from all directions seemingly all at once One aspect of that shit is Republicans — in…
(Illustration by Lesley Becker/Boston Globe; Adobe, and found here). Uneven news day it seems — Ukraine took a maybe new turn, Ginni Thomas has become synonymous with Q-brain, and dangerous chemicals has been found in fast-food wrappers from all kinds of food outlets — and even with a Friday info dump, the high notes are…
Warm late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as time continues unabated no matter the shitstorm. In just about every news crevice there’s a large wedge-like object keeping life in small tatters. Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Bright sunshine and warm temperatures still this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another early hint of summer as it supposedly climbed into the 80s late this afternoon. Apparently, too much shit is going on as 2022 is rightfully hurdling right along — time flies when you’re having fun, amirite? One horrid, festered-sore…
