War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One thing that’s become more-increasingly clear the last few days is the longtime huge-enormous dislike for the T-Rump has finally morphed into a stomach-upsetting surge of pure nausea — I am so freaking-fucking sick of the asshole it’s hard to scroll the InterWebs without having to see his fat-fucked face or at least and at…
Late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot time in the summertime. After a couple of weeks of fairly-nice weather, we’re heading into a fertile hotplate of scorcher temperatures and blistering sunshine this week. Although the NWS announced an ‘Excessive Heat Wave’ wouldn’t officially start until Tuesday, the wave is two days early —…
Another one-off pleasant time this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a cool breeze with low temps, creating a livable environment for a summer day. Reportedly, we’re supposed to go back up into triple digits next week. Enjoy while we can. And in turn, I’m also enjoying the shit out of the escapades…
Olivia Newton-John has died, it was announced today. She was 73, same age as me. In the 1970s I had a continuous crush on Stevie Nicks, Diane Keaton, and Olivia Newton-John. A most-peculiar period for me in late-summer/fall 1974 was enhanced and made a near-fantasy by Newton-John’s “I Honestly Love You” cooing on the radio…
In the darkness, sometimes there’s a flash of light. Maybe not enough to blind you, but enough to see the shift in the wind — and ascertain there could be hope in the face of a shitload of shitty news. Last Tuesday’s big win in Kansas is just one example, and today is further evidence…
Hot and still this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — reportedly 101-degrees right now and the mid-summer malaise has sunk in with a heavy atmosphere/ambiance environment. The air clings like dry sweat (if such a thing). Seemingly, dry mouth is the DC mode right now as Democrats have played Republicans in Congress, which…
Nestled amongst the news cycle items today were a couple of Josh Hawley recaps that maybe felt relevant to the issue of the asshole being a chickenshit. Despite Hawley acting the pure douchebag this past weekend at the fully-unhinged Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, crying, ‘“I’m not going to apologize, I’m not going to…
Another melting-away heat episode this near mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with sunshine full-on hot and temperatures slated for triple-digits. Although it’s already hot as shit, we’re not alone as waves of unprecedented high temps are spiking across the globe in a fierce display on the cutting edge of a way-sweaty-steamy future for…
Hot but not yet unpleasant near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the big plus-factor is a nice breeze, which keeps the firestarter temperatures down a notch or two. Once that gentle wind evaporates, though, the air will get heavy as shit with a heat that will be near-impossible to handle. We’re forecast for…
Hot, heavy air this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although reportedly we didn’t top 100 again today, the sheer feel of the day created some hot-ass ambiance to the out-of-doors. Temperatures are sometimes not the only discomfort indicator — summer! In an afternoon of doomscrolling the InterWebs for news about everything, and…
