War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Now we know how Republicans can be such shameless, flip-flopping, lying assholes (h/t tweet C&J): One of the most-ridiculous instances in current American life is how Republicans can, without an ounce of discomfiture or remorse, fling reality out the window and dare anyone to question their lying in the face of any obvious observations of…
In seemingly a preview to the near future, Joe Biden in aviator shades and cracking wise, test drove an electric truck today during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan — net-zero emissions the key also today in a landmark climate report making it clear fossil fuels have no place in humans surviving climate…
(Jen Psaki press gaggle onboard Air Force One late last month; Olivier Douliery/AFP/Getty Images, and found here). Journalism in the nowadays appears a whiplash occupation, especially coming off the terrible T-Rump news-coverage days, and apparently now the media is working toward getting a handle on Joe Biden’s low-key approach, while at the same time seeking…
Bullshit is part-and-parcel of life it seems, but new research seems to indicate an ability to bullshit effectively is ‘an honest signal of intelligence’ — science debunks bunk? The study originated from the Departments of Psychology at the University of Waterloo, Ryerson University, and the University of Guelph, all in Ontario, Canada. and published today…
A gut-wrenching, heart-breaking clip on the real victims of idiot war (h/t tweet Susie): Tragedy of the latest Israel/Palestinian conflict are the children, as it is in all fucking wars, and they pay the heaviest price for being caught in the middle of some half-ass excuse for humans to kill each other. As long as…
Another chapter in the ‘Destination‘ series (last one here), and a look backwards to reflect in some small way what we’re experiencing today. Our current era is more-weirder than yesterday’s, though, sadly there’s still the same history clinging on for dear life. And the musical light in the dark is once again The Running Mates,…
Why we can’t have nice things: And when the adults have to take precautions with children acting like little whiny assholes — via Salon this evening: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is requiring that all members in the House of Representatives continue wearing masks, despite new guidance from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that…
Finally, the time has come — if you’ve been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 the CDC announced today you don’t have to wear a mask, or even social distance yourself if you’re indoors, a heart-felt move toward more-fully opening society. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing this afternoon: ‘“We have all longed for this…
Beyond the Liz Cheney vs The Big Lie clusterf*ck yesterday, there was another GQP-induced fiction-drama played-out at the House Oversight and Reform hearing on the Jan.6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building — Republicans lied like laughing assholes, painting the event as nothing more than a walk in the park, apparently exhorting Americans to forget…
(Illustration: ‘Climate Change,’ acrylic and watercolor on canvas, by Mina Bedogne, and found here). As time goes on, we’ll discover the T-Rump’s period in the Oval Office was way-worse then we even supposed, which was shitty beyond shitty, and we knew he hated climate change like he hated taking a bath. He let the clock…
