War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Boiling-hot outside this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 108-degrees just before 6 p.m. PDT — and it’s still days away from official summer. Shit-already-on-a-overheated-stick. In the wake of the massacre yesterday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the normal shit-stuffing by Republicans has grown in size and scope. Really shitty…
Windy and warmish this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in a series this week in seemingly a last grasp of comfortable weather before the seasonal heat-blast. We’re forecast for high temps ahead, maybe into triple-digits by the middle of next week as a preview to a hot-as-shit summer that’s waiting…
As we approach the midterms, the biggest obstacle in the way of democracy being upheld is the real rule of journalism — tell the actual, f*cking truth. A nifty, right-on piece directed at the root matter of journalism, which I originally missed/overlooked with all the other shit filling the in-box of the nowadays (h/t tweet…
(Illustration: From ‘The American Instructor.’ via American Antiquarian Society, and found here). In the shadow of this week’s SCOTUS bomb, the American scene has been in some kind of turmoil — hardcase cruelty exposing Republicans as living/breeding a hypocritical lie that could drown us all. Yet history has already set the precedent. Molly Farrell at…
Sick place, America, right now. In much of our goings-on, there’s a shitload of cruelty, hypocrisy, and self-centered screaming against doing/being good to our fellow humans. A certain view disallows any other, with malice aforethought. That leaked SCOTUS opinion has raised the stakes on natural freedom and choice — the future is dark, dystopian and…
Noontime Friday here in California’s Central Valley. The weather’s ambiance is already warm touting, thus we’re looking at low-80s later this afternoon — heat the news. So be it — going beyond Ukraine, Putin and asshole, nasty Republicans, climate change also continues its torrid beat toward ending humanity if shit doesn’t change action-wise with our…
Sprinkling rain close to the Tuesday noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — light wet and not much more. Rain is forecast for maybe this weekend, too, but once again a short shift. Meanwhile, trucking beyond the Vlad Putin-influenced horrors in Ukraine, the shithead virus-pandemic of our age will not be properly held in…
Last night’s SOTU is now history, but Russians in Ukraine and Republicans in America keep clogging the news drain pipe this mid-day Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — warm again, too, feels like it’s getting warm all over the world. Enough of that shit, though, spot on — most-likely biggest news so far this morning…
Beyond Ukraine this morning, but still on just how extremely awful are Republicans and why we’ll probably never get a true handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a problem not of the so-called, and touted ‘misinformation’ tactic, but of plain-old out-n-out lying. Vaccines with boosters prevent serious illness, and even death — pure fact.…
So I’m not alone in not feeling all that happy about just about everything nowadays, not surprising. Except I’ve felt this way for decades, only more intense lately, though, for most Americans this past year has seemed to have been a turn-around bitch. There’s probably enough shit going on ‘out there’ to sadden anyone with…
