War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Once again hot as dog shit this Thursday late afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — if the heat of dog shit can be measured — (it’s 104 degrees outside right now). Summer blisters the anvil (WTF!). In the midst of the scorcher, our state today made a nice gesture for our future weather (Vox):…
Heavy-aired hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 100 degrees outside right now, probably the high for the day, and another episode in our latest heat wave this year. Cooler weather forecast for this coming weekend, so we’ll just wait as we whine about insufferable conditions. Weather be changing in a hurry.…
Another hot one as we near evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — hot is hot be. Just as I’ve said before, Republicans are not only cruel assholes, but haven’t a clue how to actually govern: A huge pile of empty, careless bullshit — from the transcript at NBC News (names have been altered…
A major aspect of Republicans is they’re slimy, lying assholes. Even worse for such as Ron Johnson: Upclose details via Raw Story this morning: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has refused to speak to the Jan. 6 Committee because his participation in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election only lasted “a couple seconds.” During…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher (1946), a ‘mezzotint,’ and found here.) A stroll through some science items this early-evening Saturday, in an effort go beyond just climate change news on the research/study front — plus I couldn’t work-up much of an interest from the news cycle today. As been stated before I’m sick, near-to-the-point of…
Instead of a news item generating interest for a post, I found music instead — Friday is a sought-after day. Sick to the bowels of T-Rump and the entire most-ugly and weird-ass Republican political apparatus, I turned to song of verse longing for a day at the end of the work week. No better way…
Another hot one building outside this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re still under triple digits right now, but the heat-blasting doesn’t always intensify until late afternoon. We’ll weather the weather, as we have so far, and eventually, hopefully, we’ll persevere. Anyway, spied this earlier — Ron DeSantis epitomizes the entire Republican…
In moves with sound effects similar to a noose tightening around the T-Rump came today as one of his way-longtime financial stooges pled guilty in New York to fraud, while several former White House officials said the T-Rump is full of shit declassifying intel documents willy-willy — “total nonsense” said one. Hopefully, time and space…
Here we are, shamelessly and audaciously without an ounce of any marketing savvy, crying for you as readers of this blog — that handful of sad intellectuals off the vast InterWebs — to buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press. Although set in the genre FICTION/Romance/Fantasy, “Corona”…
Late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — outside my air-conditioned dwelling it’s 109 degrees with barely any wind. My local weather page reports tomorrow will be ‘nearly the same‘ as today, or just another episode in a multi-day ‘Excessive Heat Warning’ for the region. And accordingly, right now we’re two degrees above the forecasted…
