War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the outreaches of how terrible Vlad Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the weight of an unhinged view of reality Putin has could mean the Ukrainian war crime will continue until there’s either a ‘Korean scenario‘ established or just a military grind-down for all concerned — especially acute is the dismal, cruel failure of the entire…
(Illustration by Lesley Becker/Boston Globe; Adobe, and found here). Uneven news day it seems — Ukraine took a maybe new turn, Ginni Thomas has become synonymous with Q-brain, and dangerous chemicals has been found in fast-food wrappers from all kinds of food outlets — and even with a Friday info dump, the high notes are…
Noontime Friday here in California’s Central Valley. The weather’s ambiance is already warm touting, thus we’re looking at low-80s later this afternoon — heat the news. So be it — going beyond Ukraine, Putin and asshole, nasty Republicans, climate change also continues its torrid beat toward ending humanity if shit doesn’t change action-wise with our…
Warm late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as time continues unabated no matter the shitstorm. In just about every news crevice there’s a large wedge-like object keeping life in small tatters. Beyond the national horror of Republicans acting like cruel, tasteless buffoons — Ketanji Brown Jackson is a treasure — the war in Ukraine…
Doomscrolling through news events this late Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, I flashed across this T-rump news story of the worse kind — the reality behind last month’s New York DA dustup over prosecuting the asshole, allowing the weasel to most-likely skirt the law once again.

Apparently, too much shit is going on as 2022 is rightfully hurdling right along — time flies when you’re having fun, amirite? One horrid, festered-sore…
Sunshine and warmth this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Spring has sprung so summer won’t be long in coming — words to weed. Meanwhile. Ukraine has tragic consequences beyond its borders. Today, UN Secretary General António Guterres, in a video address to a conference on sustainability run by the Economist newspaper in London,…
Clear and windy this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — winter’s officially over! Earlier this morning (8:33 AM PDT) there sprang the March equinox — also called the vernal equinox — and the first day of spring. In turn, this day only means the burn season is quickly coming upon us. Meanwhile, Ukraine…
Raining a bit this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — after an overcast sky for most of the day, the soft showers finally came just a while ago. Although not supposed to last long right now, more rain is forecast for the middle of next week. Despite the water falling, it’s still been…
Seemingly, our current time zone’s best descriptive word might be ‘unprecedented.’ Joining Vlad Putin’s ‘unprecedented‘ dangerous shit in Ukraine is a shocker in a field where the unusual has become commonplace for years — climate change.
