The Monks Of Erstwhile Abbey ...

 Those erstwhile monks are chanting for Friday. You see that's what they do. They chant on Friday and have done so for well over thousands of years. "Friday ... Friday ... Friiiii day." Rinse repeat then repeat again. Yes that 'thousands' is plural and for a reason. Reason being ... the monks have been at the old chanting business for more than that long. Well ... duh. The monks Abbey is located in East Erstwhile so the location made for a dandy reference point for the monks to call themselves. So when it's not Friday and the chanting is on pause Saturday through Thursday, the monks brew beer. And ale. A very long time ago the monks tried their hand at making wine but none of the monks had the patience to wait until the wine had aged properly so they chalked that up to tried that and won't again. I have been advised that the beer made by the Erstwhile Abbey monks is some pretty decent suds. I gave up drinking suds quite a few years back. My waist line grew to somewhat intolerant of overly imbibing the brew. So I'll rely on word of mouth. Or you know ... whatever. I suppose word of mouth is a pretty heady way to spread the word about Erstwhile Abbey brews. Their brews even come in flavors. Evidently there's a strawberry flavored ale. There's an orange flavored Pilsner. A dark rum flavored Jamaican Red Star lager. Gosh I had no idea. Anyway, if you're a beer drinker searching for something with some flavor and a really trendy drink, try some Erstwhile Abbey Brand Ales and Beers. Available at a monk liquor store anywhere close to where you may in fact reside. DISCLAIMER ... there was NO cash incentive offered for my glowing and partially maudlin plug for the Erstwhile Abbey monks and their brewage. Now for Friday machine art. Weekend starts on Saturday so get on out there and beer up.

shia grand ayatollah naser makarem shirazi has issued a "signed and sealed fatwa" ... a fatwa is a religious edict or an estefta formal religious query ... that declares orange adolf (trump) "an enemy of allah" and calls on 'mooslims of the world' to kill orange adolf and there's actual mooselim money in the call should that call be successful. dated June 30, 2025. I don't know what that translates to in gregorian calendar months ... you see the iranians use a different calendar than our "western world" uses. the iranians use a 'solar hijri calendar' whatever the hell that is. don't use one ... done care to use one ... seems pointless and possibly uncivilized and what is up with that anyway ... 😏

Lunatics Are Out ...

 The distressing part of that statement would be the freaks are lodged in the trump regime and the screwy freaks pose a clear and present danger to America. All of America with an extra special helping of 'police state' clamped on Los Angeles and the surrounding cities and commercial bergs. I don't really know how I would react to seeing a platoon of Marines marching shoulder to shoulder through my neighborhood. The ICE gestapo has even taken to riding horses which seems to me an obvious abuse of a horse. The horse posse was riding through MacArthur Park and the Mac is famous in song and dance routines courtesy of Hollywood. This entire charade is meant to instill a sense of fear in all of Los Angelinos and it's outrageous to say the least. The trump regime's AG Barbie Bondi, the Queen of Puppy Murderers Noem, one colossal asshole name of Homan, the all to real Nazi fucknut Stephy 'no balls' Miller, and an assortment of freaks, geeks, intruders, migrants that are above law due to their sucking trump dick, AND the financial enabling of billionaires that really should stick to their counting houses and count all that money are behind this affront. Should America wake up at some point, come to the conclusion that the billionaires are nothing more than common grifters ... nationalize all their wealth and presto ... national debt paid in full and billionaires are put back in the cue with the rest of us. As for now, 'we the people' need a platoon of lawyers that are willing and capable of suing the trump regime at every turn the seditious assholes take to try to escape their karma and consequences for an unmasked attempt at the Nazification of America. Now for Thursday machine art. the preceding message was paid for (?) by me ... sure sure

Precious & Pricey

 Back in 1972 archeologists discovered human excrement at a site where a future bank was to be built. This was in York, England and the discovery stopped the bank's being built. Fast forward to 2025 and news breaks that this piece of excrement is "priceless, precious, and one of the greatest discoveries ever made by archeology." So the 'number 2' was dropped in an ideal location for preservation of ... crap ... evidently the ground around York, England is a damp soil so preservation of "waste" is made possible due to "unique anaerobic conditions beneath the ground." Bottom line would be ... if you happen to be needing to relieve yourself with an old number 2, around the area of York, England well, that number 2 will be around for centuries and in almost pristine condition. According to coprolite specialist Dr. Bone Jones, a leading paleoturdologist, I am not making this shit up pun intended. Anyway according to Dr. Jones, the "excrement is one of the most important and precious archaeological discoveries of its kind anywhere." Dr. Jones slapped a price tag on the really old 'number 2' at $39,000.00 dollars and Jones is right ... that shit is worth some serious cash. The lunker was left by Viking invaders from Vikingville and after some testing the turdologists discovered that the Vikes ate a lot of meat, whole grains as bread probably, and not much in the way of veggies. It isn't like the Vikings were going to be sticking around to plant then harvest veggies. 

Just goes to show the truly weird shit that intelligencia gets all seriously wound up over. Now for Wednesday machine art and someone, not a paleoturdologist, please cue the camel.

Shooo ... Mer ...

 Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants ... no ... demands an investigation into the National Weather Service to find out what the hell went wrong on Friday last. Besides it being the 4th of July, there wasn't ANYONE at the National Weather Service that covers Kerr County, Texas ... reason being ... all the National Weather Service employees were fired by Amerika's Orange Adolf, his once upon a time chief financial officer, the bucks and techy shit that got Orange Adolf elected for a second time ... elon FIRED everybody! Fired by Elon Musk the newly printed 'founder of the America Party' that will surely unseat treasonous republicunts that voted for the "bigly hugely famously famous ginormous tax the poor and pile largesse on the uber riche of Amerika" and so ... take breath here ... suffer you poor ass out bastards because you think life is a bitch at present well just you wait until the teeth of the "glorious adulation of "Orange Adolf" kicks in full throttle. However and in a somewhat softer tone ... fucking shooo ... mer ...! will investigate the glaringly obvious but, why shooo ... mer ...! would do that is a bit of way too little and way way to goddamn late. Death count from its flooding down in Texas is over 90 at last count and the count is expected to climb higher (over 100 now) as rescue has now digressed into recovery of remains. Cadaver dogs were brought in to clamber through all the mess that is left over from the flooding of the Guadalupe River and holy shit you want to discuss mess well you've a new bench mark to measure all other messes to. With. Whatever. So shooo ... mer ...! wants an "investigation" ... how about there's an investigation into WHY the fuck is shooo ... mer ...! a spineless cunt of a weenie ... I mean that would be an investigation into the abhorrent world of political prostitution, Democraps, Republicunts, Congress in the overall, and what the hell is genetically wrong with Marjorie Taylor-Greene. The disaster in Texas is going to be a burr in the saddle of Amerika for just about now until the next congressional election which will be November 2026. Being pissed off now ... just think how incensed we'll be come November 2026. I'm just saying ...

Raining Down In Texas

 All the telephone lines are down. Thanks for that Stevie Ray. It most certainly did rain down in Texas and damn if those Texans weren't prepared or not even close. Significant in all this would be the firing of all the NWS people that kept folk up to speed on weather danger and imminent really dangerous weather. Dangerous weather that occurred in Kerr County, Texas. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes. Water coming up that fast a person might not be able to outrun that. A summer camp full of young ladies found that out in about 45 minutes. Search and questionable rescue is still searching for 11 of those girls. Back to some pertinent info, NWS would be the National Weather Service and those intrepid government employees kept America safe during severe thunderstorms with flooding. Tornadoes that wreak havoc on America's heartland. And of course we can't be forgetting hurricanes. Hurricane season is just about ready to crank up for an unprepared America. Orange Adolf had musk and his doge gang go through federal government and terminate just about anyone of any importance and that hit NOAA really and tragically hard. NWS is part and the very public face of NOAA. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That would be all the scientific researching and monitoring kids that are now way out there ... somewhere and I'm certain that any number of those people are grieving for the loss of life in Texas. Considering how callous and cold most of America has become, tragic loss of life in Texas is just another news blurb to ignore or shake heads at and especially IF that's none of "my affair." The residents of Kerrville, Texas received notice about Friday's flooding ... Sunday July 5, 2025. Two whole days AFTER the flood. Everyone in Kerr County, Texas was fully aware of the flooding and massive loss of life by Saturday. Talk about outrageous. None and I do mean not a one of Texas elected officialdom city, county, state, and of course the federales offered not much more than "the people in Kerr County certainly have our prayers." Praying will not now or ever help those grieving nor repair the damage inflicted by a storm that should have been warned about and in time to do at least a small amount of preparedness and get a number of young ladies at summer camp out of harm's way. Yes my friends, the regime of Orange Adolf is off and lilting hard a port and taking young ladies and anyone else standing around innocent as can be, down with his quickly sinking ship of state. Texas Governor Wheels Abbott was quoted in an interview Sunday morning, "those bodies will wash up sooner or later but for now Kerr County, Texas has our prayers." Prayers again ... hypocrisy in bright and freshly defecated bullshit.

I'm certainly not about to wait around to fact check any reports of god answering Texas prayers. no one should and especially the grieving people of Kerrville, Texas ... 😐

one parting thought ... I saw a photo from Kerr County, Texas that showed a Freightliner tractor sitting up a flood ravaged tree. a long damn way up that tree ...

The Point Of No Return

 Absolutely shocking news has come down the old internet and shocking is maybe just a mite shy of how absolutely shocking this news is. Okay and here we go ... dolphins and orcas long honored for intelligence and agility, have reached a "pivotal point" in their evolution. Research reveals the dolphins and orcas lived on land a way back a dang long time ago. I don't think that's shocking. Anyway and according to "research" the lesser cetaceans are now evolutionarily incapable of returning to land. Thus we have the "shocking revelation" that dolphins and orcas are forever bound to live in our seas. I mean, cetaceans have lived in the oceans for as long as I can remember and according to "research" once again, the cetaceans have lived in our oceans and seas for millions of years and that's the shocker. Personally, I find the "research news" not even close to shocking and why it's taken "research" to acknowledge what regular people have known all along is curious in the very least. So dolphins, orcas, and every dang last cetacean swimming the oceans that so plentifully water our Planet, will live their very best cetacean life swimming happily and feeding on ocean's bounty. Well for now anyway. I suppose there's really not shocking news or points to be made other than, should our Planet's human infestation keep up the crass disregard for all things oceanic, there won't be any dolphins, orcas, or cetaceans in general left to "research." Possibly the research should focus on why humans are such slobs. Now for Sunday machine art.

Vanilla (?) ICE

 It would seem that the trump regime's ICE gestapo are focused on people of brown skin coloring and that for the most part is all the fuckers are focused on. Therefore how it is that vanilla came to be associated with 'white' would be swallowed in the shadows of time. Vanilla ice cream? Vanilla icing? Vanilla Ice a rather dumb ass poseur famous for a one hit wonder in a white guy music category? I'm not so certain. Be patient here while I digress into background prattle. I've always associated vanilla with white and so while cranking out a screed mocking Orange Adolf's HHS/ICE bullshit, the fuckers myopic focus of persecution being on people of a brown skin color makes for even further confusion on the subject of persecution of brown skinned people, "migrant" or "immigrant" has become synonymous with things vilified by Orange Adolf and his puppy murderer bitch Kristi Noem secretary of Homeland Security and ICE in particular. So what we have here is the "normalization" of bigotry and focused hate that presents a side or face of federal government that could be closely compared with Nazi Germany. Germany is certainly today NOT what Germany was back under the Hitler regime. HOWEVER ... Orange Adolf/trump has channeled the psychology of Hitler into his bullshit 'maga' nonsense and so ... ICE is most certainly Amerikan gestapo along with being conjoined at the lips with the Nazi SS. So today's Amerikanized ICE/SS/GESTAPO is hellbent on ridding Amerika of migrants, immigrants, and all people brown skin shaded. I am trying to wrap my head around the ICE gestapo assaulting brown skin people at their place of employ, farm fields (agro business CANNOT get any white people to work their fields AS that is some goddamn brutally physical work), and off city streets for no apparent reason other than the color of a persons skin. Mindless and almost inconceivably cruel and lawless kidnapping. Following being detained by the ICE gestapo goon squads, the hapless souls caught up in the trump insanity are deported to places far from American soil where those removed have for the most part, no access to legal help or even appropriate housing. Housed for sure in dank and ominously evil dungeons that birth horrors beyond human comprehension. The utterly monstrous modus operandi of the ICE gestapo is hard for any rational American to understand so how are Americans supposed to respond to crimes against American humanity that have pretty much never been addressed. Congress, the House and the Senate, do nothing to dissuade Orange Adolf. Nor does the Supreme Court that just on Friday gave the trump regime permission to deport eight refugees to the Sudan. The Sudan that is currently consumed with a goddamned civil war. Or was that Somalia ... just too many goddamn atrocities to try and keep separate and especially so considering the rapidity with which all this evil bullshit transpires. With any hope, there are larger brains than mine grappling with this very confusing turn of maga events. Hopefully. So I'll wander off to things to think about world and try to put all these horrific pieces into some comprehensible form of understanding. I do likes to think about stuff. Anyway, now for some Saturday machine art.

for perspective I've ganked a piece of paragraph from off the Guardian webpage and it reads concerning the 8 men being deported ... the deportation victims are from Vietnam, South Korea, Mexico, Laos, Cuba, Myanmar, and ONE guy from Sudan. there is simply no rhyme or reason to ANY of the bullshit antics perpetrated by Orange Adolf. talk about nazis ... 😐
