War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Blood on the hands of Republicans and those who cry murderous, racist shit in the face of hate. Ten people on a normal grocery-store run Saturday died because of the terribly violent and racist agenda by a white kid who perpetrated an event that “was pure evil” in its encompassing horror: A couple of the…
Breezy-warm this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — been a hot weekend, probably in the mid-90s today (reportedly mid-80s right now), about the same yesterday. Nice weather, sad-shit news. Top of the cycle today was feedback and flashes off the mass shooting yesterday at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, and the horror of…
A little blustery and cool this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley; any delay of the heat is always welcome — another weekend is quickly at hand. One noted, though sad, event today: Jen Psaki spent her time at the Joe Biden White House press-briefing podium as press secretary and she will be sorely…
(Illustration: MC Escher’s ‘The Second Day Of The Creation‘ (1925), and found here). In the science contextual slipstream from this morning, a couple of cases/reports/studies/essays/whatnot ever you want to call, and with an interest for the nowadays. This first one is a horrid historical clusterf*ck for no reason other to be pieces of white-ass, holier-than-thou…
Breezy and cool this near-mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — weather just about out of sync with normal reality. Reportedly, we’ll see a 30-degree rise in temperatures by Saturday as the ‘whiplash,’ lopsided shape of our meteorology continues unabated. A circumstance already predicted. And going beyond cruel-ass SCOTUS, cruel-ass Republicans, cruel-ass Vlad Putin,…
Spotty sunshine with thick, white cloud cover this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — also, a brisk breeze all day long has kept the outside ambiance remarkably cool. Reportedly expected to stay this way all week with more-seasonable weather (i.e., hot!) forecast for the weekend, and most-likely to continue warming up until triple-digit…
Breezy and chilly this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. We’re forecast for some cool weather for the next few days, maybe take the sting out of the approaching summer heat. Among the various news items today were reports of the T-Rump’s rally last night in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in support of his desired Senate…
(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…
Overcast with occasional sunshine this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — earlier this morning looked like we faced another hot, sweltering day, but instead, later on, smoggy-looking/Tule fog-like clouds covered the sun, creating a relatively cool afternoon. A nice respite in the oncoming swelter of summer. Meanwhile, among the news items piling up…
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…
