War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Breezy but still hot this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. Scrolling the news continues the flashdance of Republicans being nasty about everything, even when withholding baby formula from babies, and showcasing exactly what hypocrisy and shitheel combination looks like — we’re in for a real shitfest if…
(Illustration out front: ‘The Three Amigos,’ and found here). An idiot remains an idiot despite the whitewash, and even with the incense burning tattering holes in history books. When this blog first appeared 15 years ago last month — April 22, 2007 — (I forgot the anniversary until a few days later, but the past…
Heavy-air hot this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re on a schedule now to greater and greater temperatures with days starting to average at least 90-degrees in the shade. In the sun is a way-different story. Direct sunshine in a flat-anvil of a valley creates a scorching heat, nearly unbearable in high…
As we approach the midterms, the biggest obstacle in the way of democracy being upheld is the real rule of journalism — tell the actual, f*cking truth. A nifty, right-on piece directed at the root matter of journalism, which I originally missed/overlooked with all the other shit filling the in-box of the nowadays (h/t tweet…
(Image by illustrator Randall Enos, and found here). Sign of life, maybe? Merrick Garland has been acting quiet the last year on any kind of action on the T-Rump criminal works, and many had figured he’d been napping this whole time. Even despite this in March: ‘On his first anniversary as attorney general, Merrick Garland…
Warming up outside now near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we expect 90-degree air this afternoon, and maybe close to 100 tomorrow. Summer ahead doesn’t look too charming for us out on the Left Coast. And mainly for everyone everywhere. Beyond the violence of white, hate-filled assholes and crazy-ass Russian dictators, and…
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…
