War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and warm this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — another Spring springing quickly into summer storylines. In a different, anti-normal shocker today, Tucker Carlson was fired from his Fox News perch — this is the way-exact ‘news’ of the day. and is the lead story on blogs, news sites, and just about…
Today is the 16th birthday of Compatible Creatures, a small, tiny, insignificant plot of space on the InterWebs I’ve called home for a seemingly long time. As with any birthday, age appears quickly fluttering now well beyond a year-by-year creep to be currently on a massive, headlong rush to somewhere even I can’t even grasp.…
And some songs, too, celebrating all kinds of shit that occurs during those deep-trench days of summer — here in California’s Central Valley, backs of necks get way-way-worse than dirty and gritty. Yesterday the first time this season/year I went with just a t-shirt instead of a hoodie/sweatshirt while walking Leroy — a most definite…
Sunny and breezy this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life.

Thinly overcast with an occasional sliver of faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — deep, glaring sunshine earlier, but the outside all dwindled down to a brownish-gray ambiance as we’re getting now closer to evening.

And what’s really obviously bright, too, is the massive, humungous, killing-with-guns problem we have (CBS last week): ‘Nearly one in five American adults say they have had a family member who was killed by a gun, including suicides,…
Clear with a ton of sunshine tempered with a chilly breeze just past the noon hour here Thursday in California’s Central Valley — another glorious, beautiful day. And among a goodly batch of news stories this morning, a seeming follow-up on Clarence Thomas and his fraud-laced life with a mega-rich asshole Republican — the situation…
Clear with a chilled bit of wind this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Beyond the domestic hard-tossed shit today, indications off those leaked intel files noted last week, peace in Ukraine seems to not be on the agenda for this year — apparently vicious war crimes will continue, however (Foreign Policy this afternoon):…
Warm with faded-yellow sunshine this late afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Spring has indeed sprung as we’re slated to get a bit heated this weekend and into Monday, reportedly with temperatures a few degrees above normal. This summer’s going to be a hot one, I think. Off a full week of hot news,…
In the shape of our national discourse per the MAGA world, losing an election is impossible, beyond the scope of reality. Case in point is Judge Janet Protasiewicz’s wonderful win yesterday for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, knocking away Dan Kelly — an asshole who epitomizes the entire, complete Republican party: Details via Common Dreams: Daniel…
