War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast with a maybe-possibility of some rain showers this early-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’ve just experiencing the first in two/three/four cloud-filled days this week, pitched along with a bit of our infamous ‘tule fog‘ adding to the deep gray ambiance, but reportedly a return to sunshine and warmer temps before the…
In the crush of the limpid Friday night news dump — the biggest single dump probably was another revealed-escapade in the shitty-ethical lifestyles of SCOTUS — was an example of dip-shitty, hands-on stupidity. Republicans are so anti-reality it’d be a wondrous comical farce if the stakes weren’t so frightening. In this case, marijuana usage and…
Sunny and still just after the noon hour here in California’s Central Valley — we’re in the low 80s right now and forecast for the 90s tomorrow as the full range of the season starts to become apparent as the summer heatwaves are upon us. There’s not much we can do about it. Except stay…
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…
Clear skies with plenty of sunshine, all basking in warm temperatures this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — the summer heat is coming as we’re forecast to curdle into the 90s by the end of next week. This week’s ever-increasing ardor most-likely signifies a hot-ass summer season — I can hardly wait. Despite…
Sunny and breezy this late afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. And the biggest news item on the cycle today is a bummer: ‘Fox News agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday for $787.5 million, according to an attorney for the voting…
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. Tomorrow’s slated for a return to full sun, so we’ll wait and see. Despite other…
Sunshine with clear skies, so it’s really bright outside this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. 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…
