James Webb, that's who was mean. Way back in the 1950's and 1960's James Webb was the administrator of NASA. Seems like a pretty dang long time ago. Say about maybe 65 years back. Yeah, that's a pretty dang long time ago. So back to the future here, now there are folks that want NASA to rename the soon to be launched James Webb Space Telescope on account of back in the day, James Webb was mean to gay people. Back then 'gay people' included gay men and lesbian women. There weren't so many transgender folk a way back when. There certainly may have very well been transgender folk BUT, the transgender folk were referred to as something else. I think. Anyway and back to the present, NASA is not about to change the name of the James Webb Space Telescope. You see there has been "pressure" for NASA to change the name of the telescope as James Webb must have been mean to gay people. The entire federal government, back in the day, simply did not hire or ackn...

  I've been watching the volcano on la Palma erupting and spewing volcanic vomit all over the side of the island where Cumbre Vieja (that's the volcano's name) is going au natural. TelevisionCanaria has a real time camera running on YouTube and you can watch Cumbre Vieja going off just about 24/7. I do love me some geology stuff and volcanology in particular. Fascinating. The fire hot lava being ejected from the volcano shoots way up in the air and falls back down on a growing mound of volcanic ejection. Here's a glimpse - Ouchy oh hell yes ouchy hot hot. Fascinating. On an unrelated non-volcanic note, the U.S. government will shut down on Friday the 1st day of October 2021 and Itchy Mitch McConnell and his merry band of pseudo-intellectual republicant's are responsible. So don't let FauxNews inform you otherwise. Republican'ts are so fucking retarded. The republicant's will cut off their nose to spite Democrats and so much for nonpartisan bullshit. This...

If today is Tuesday then the day after tomorrow would be Thursday. Imagine that. If the government shuts down on Friday, will Itchy McConnell do the honorable thing and commit ritual seppuku on the National Mall? You know, on live tv. If 'Dog the bounty hunter' is on the search for that Laundrie asshole, can Nancy Grace be fall behind? I'm just saying. Finally and to the really big if, IF I had something to insert here, well, I probably would but...I don't. On to machine art. reliquary (google it) - class - some days you've got it and some days you ain't not got about squat. 😬

Well it's Monday all over again and no, this isn't some kind of Groundhog Day. For quite a while now, one day seems to run into the next day and life becomes an endless feedback loop of banal same old same old. Gun violence, trump agitating violence, Covid-19 violence, violence on America's highways, and we should probably include all the climate changing severe storms that work violence on the ole American countryside. The storms tear through hayseed America and all those homes on wheels make for some really short work by tornado velocity winds. "Herb? There goes the house and the kids were inside...". Oh well and c'est la vie. There was a blurb on the Google news page that 'Dog the bounty hunter' is joining the search for Gabby Petito's murderer. 'Dog the bounty hunter' is actually worse than Al Sharpton. Talk about jumping on a bandwagon. I can't figure out what the 'bounty hunter' brings to the search for that Laundrie assho...

  A woman who (whom?) has been missing for the better part of one year finally showed up at her home in southern Utah. According to 'rumors', the woman had been abducted by "aliens" and was just recently arrived back on Planet Earth with stories to tell. Just not to media. According to the woman's family, mum's the word of the day. I find it curious that if "mum's the word", well, how in hell did the rumors start? I know the answer to an obvious question but in keeping with the woman's family request, mum's the word. EXCEPT...I know her secret. How I came to know the woman's secret is a secret. But, here's what I know for an almost certainty. The alleged missing woman was abducted by aliens and not the dang Haitian aliens that were kept cooped up at the Mexico/Texas border. So, the woman's story is like this: she was out walking one night oh about a year back see and all of a sudden there's this light coming out of the sky...

  Or as it's now known to the locals there, "holy shit, grab your stuff and run!" The volcano on la Palma is known as 'Cumbre Vieja' or in English that would read 'old summit'. The volcano has sort of lain there on la Palma for quite a while now and no one thought the thing would go off in the locals lifetime. Well golly and surprise surprise. Cumbre Vieja is going off and shows NO sign of letting up anytime soon. Some geologists that study volcanos and the like, insist that la Palma may in fact split in half with the northwestern end of the island sliding into the ocean and causing one hellacious tsunami. Evidently there's a fault line that runs across a good portion of la Palma and that fault line grows ever deeper and wider by the day. The geologist/volcanologist guys have photos of the fault line and these guys are dead damn serious. So with Cumbre Vieja blowing up and melting the nearby town of Todoque, residents are being evacuated and cautioned ...

  Yes my friends, today is the very last Friday in September and there won't be anymore. Fridays. So to kick this last Friday in September off with a comparatively illogical twist, Arizona has declared Joe Biden as the "official" winner of the presidential election from last November 2020. No shit, really? The grate State of Arizona twisted itself into very dry knots at the behest of donny 'boy' trump, to somehow award the trump with an Arizona win in trump's failed quest to get his treasonous ass elected to a second term as president. Don't get me wrong here, Arizona tried really REALLY hard to overturn their election results. After months of horseshit 22's, theatrics by Arizona republicants, threats, threats of violence, world class histrionics, whining on a scale not seen since the dark ages, the antics of Torquemada, and/so/but alas t'was not to be. Biden won the Arizona election the old fashioned way, Joe got the most votes. On any regular day...

  The "search" for Brian Laundrie continues to continue. Laundrie is the gutless wonder that murdered Gabby Petito. All bitching aside over how the media portrays the Petito murder, 'sure sure another white girl missing and the press comes out in force', the young woman is dead and her killer (that Laundrie freak) is on the lam. Laundrie has had plenty of time to ghost. Asshat returned to his parents home on September 1, 2021 and without Ms. Petito and the Laundrie parents, evidently, hardly even blinked. Must be routine behavior for Brian Laundrie to head off with a young woman and return again without any woman whatsoever. I think that Laundrie's parents could be charged with aiding and abetting a suspected killer. Possibly accomplice to murder. So the law authorities are searching some wilderness reserve in Florida and I could imagine they won't find Laundrie. Dude is long gone and not into any wilderness reserve in Florida. Laundrie was provided ample time...

  On account of today is the first day of autumn. Yup. Can Xmas be far off? Start your shopping drill today and beat the other holiday shoppers to the punch. So...have you seen all the 5-G towers going up in and around your neighborhood? Those ominous looking black towers of 5-G radiation enveloping your very existence. Did you know that the 5-G radiation can cause brittle bones? Did you know that the 5-G radiation can cause cancer? Did you know that the 5-G radiation will inhibit brain growth in younger children? Did you know that the 5-G radiation will give you rickets? Fallen arches? Scabs of various sizes and shapes? Toe rot? Bad breath? Achy back? Achy breaky heart worms? That ever so nasty 5-G radiation will fuse your personal device to your hand which does by the way, explain why folks everywhere seem glued to their cell phones and those tablet thingies. The 5-G radiation will leave one with the inability to look up. Look up and see your world before it melts ...

  Busy busy busy...loads to do on this here Tuesday and that would include one of those ever so irritating OS upgrade things. Not to be outdone here, Safari is wanting an upgrade so that'll take the ole Mac offline for about the better part of today. I do look forward to those Apple upgrade things. Not. Anyway and before the machine goes into shutdown for upgrade mode, I'm posting the important stuff so as not to be interrupted at some later point in computer/space/time history. At least theoretically. one of the greats, Dizzy - you'll know when things turn to shit - have a pleasant Tuesday y'alls. 😮

  A recent study by the Salt Lake Tribune in conjunction with PBS Frontline, has concluded that Utah cops shoot people. Wow is that ever about a shocker or what. That's all I've got for today. Wow and go figure. Machine art right about now... Jackie - facial farce - so if you happen to see a police person anywhere in Utah today...smile and wave folks smile and wave. 😲

  The official beginning of autumn is just days away. The autumnal equinox happens on Wednesday September 22, 2021. An autumnal equinox marks the first day of astronomical AND meteorological fall. In practical terms, the retail first day of fall happens anytime after Labor Day so watch out for the Christmas crap to go on sale. There is Halloween crap on sale at present but if you look closely, the Christmas crap is mixed in with the Halloween crap and America's children are simply confused. "Mommy...should I ask that jack-oh-lantern for a new bike?" Retailers are out of control and that's hardly news to just about anyone. So autumn is here and it's time to break out the sweaters and jackets and get ready for Thanksgiving (turkeys, you are all on notice). Time to enjoy the end of smoke-choked skies and one brutally hot summer. Well, here's hoping that the wildfire smoke is going to blow away. The wildfires won't be extinguished until snow begins to fall. He...

  An unnamed tech company in the previously disclosed Silicon Valley is developing a clock you wear under your skin and so when you might like to know what time it is, well, you simply tap your skin and your skin lights up with the time. I do have several if not a whole shitload of questions for these unnamed techies from Silicon Valley ... why? Why do that? Wearing a watch has become unfashionable? I'm thinking that Rolex isn't gonna like this notion and not one bit. Gosh, if the techie guys want to implant a watch under your skin, why not a cell phone implanted somewhere on your carcass where a cell phone just might fit. You know like in your intestines or between your liver and your spleen. Of course accessing that implanted cell phone could prove problematic. No doubt. How about gif tattoos? That might prove to be cool as cool could be. The tattoos could act out little tattoo art plays and stuff like that there. Gosh, some freewheeling techie guy could program a tatto...

  "An ineffable dimensionality could be tantamount to quadratic ineffability." Wow is that deep or what. Yes my friends it's Friday and at this point in space/time history, it looks as if there might just be a crisp and smoke free day of clean air to breathe in. The gathering gloom will, possibly, return this afternoon. That of course would happen later on and not quite yet. Possibly.  So it would be fair to posit that we are living through some damn squeamish times. Wildfires, pandemic plagues, raucous political bullshit, and the peasants are really REALLY unhappy. Today's news made mention that sequoia trees are burning in Sequoia National Park. Sequoias are gigantic redwood trees found just about nowhere else on Planet Earth. Oh yes and by the way, Sequoia National Park is in California. California is burning from its northern top to its la la lifestyle southern end. You know where San Diego meets Tijuana? Tijuana is in Mexico. San Diego is in California...

  It seems that things have gone really quiet on the Faroe Islands. No press release, no public information update, no spokesperson outlining how the Faroe Islanders are 'living their cultural identity'. Not a sound nor a peep. Well and not the sound of a long knife being shoved into the neck of a white-sided dolphin. The Faroe Islanders certainly provided a bloody spectacle filled with lust, murder, and insanity. Now they've gone dummy up. On the advise of council no doubt. The fuckers should be charged with crimes against humanity and cetaceans. Yeah I've still got a burn working over that little atrocity. Obscenity? Either way. Machine art is coming next. little house in a hood - craggy peak - I'm going to exercise my right of "cultural identity" on the Faroe Islanders and kindly inform them all to fuck off and die. you see I have the genes of Scotland in my genetic makeup and the Scots like to use the expression "fuck off!" and that use is fa...

  On the Faroe Islands which is somewhere in the North Sea, the Faroeans like to kill dolphins and whales. It's part of their "cultural identity." Yeah, what ever. The Faroeans held their "annual dolphin/whale harvest (read slaughter)" on Sunday September 12, 2001. At least the fuckers held off for a day so as not to seem 'insensitive' towards the 9/11/01 bullshit. These brave and mighty hunters slaughtered over 1400 white-sided dolphins in a blood shedding ritual that is part of what makes the Faroe Islanders...Faroe Islanders (read assholes). The screwy bastards corral the white-sided dolphins using boats and a lot of boats to be quite specific, then they drive the white-sided dolphins up towards shallow water and the killing fields they call a beach and have away at the dolphins with knives. Talk about day of the long knives. The Faroe islands bloodthirsty lunatics also like to kill pilot whales but their Sunday killing fest made no mention of pilot w...

  Here it is a Tuesday and where did Monday go? Slipped by almost unnoticed. So I'm at the store and there's a woman at the store just about in total rave-mode. I mean she's on and on, a quite noisy prattle. So what is the woman in such a fuss about? Having to wear a mask. Evidently Covid-19 the Delta Variant is "infringing" on her constitutional rights. I did not know that the Covid-19 had anything to do with 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' OR America's Constitution. Well evidently the Covid-19 does and the woman has about had it up to her armpits. You see it's perfectly "righteous" for the woman to catch the Covid and of course, pass that Covid-19 off to anyone within her coughing/spitting circle of existence. I disagreed with her premise. My bad. I asked the woman why she was so horrified by the notion of having to wear a mask. It was plain for all to see that the woman wearing a mask would be like a concession to social ...

  Here it is a Monday and the second full week since Labor Day. Don't wear white. Or are you supposed to wear white? Ah, who cares. Wear whatever in hell you'd care to wear. Gosh, that rhymes. Almost like the crimes of our times. That rhymes. Trump and chump. That rhymes. Pillow Guy and don't buy. That rhymes too. Be a proud American and give the 'Pillow Guy' the finger. Don't buy his crap. You'll sleep better because of it. BOYCOTT THE PILLOW GUY!!! He's a bat-shit crazy asshole anyway. The 'guy' held a rally somewhere in our America and the rally was for trump. There were supposed to be 10,000 trump-sucking idiots show up. Unfortunately for the 'guy' and fortunately for us, only a couple hundred people showed up and it was a stellar failure for the 'guy' and a giant if not positive step for America. Okay and now everyone back to work the 9/11/01 twenty year anniversary is over. America woke up this Monday morning with a raging p...

  It's over and done. The twenty year anniversary of 9/11/01 is gone like the proverbial sock born on a strong wind. As you were everyone, it's over. You all may now continue with whatever you might have been doing prior to yesterday's homage to horror. And of course, twenty years of dry as dust waste. Treasure lost, lives lost, life forever changed, and for what? For one single day in September where everyone celebrates the hypocrisy of it all. Bye bye and see you in about another twenty years. We had us some fun for sure. Or not. So now we can get back to what's really important and that would be the machine art.  red house - one lone shoe - tomorrow will be another manic Monday and same ole same old. 💬

  Twenty years flew by. Time does fly when you're having fun. We have been having fun...haven't we? Afghanisnam, Iraq, the war on terror, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, trump, and even Hillary. Speaking about Hillary, America hates the woman so badly that it elected donald trump over Hillary. Jesus, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. We did have Sgt. Peppers to pass twenty years with but it really didn't help much. Guantanamo and the illegal detention of Mooselim men. C.I.A. run "secret prisons" so the spooky boys could torture Mooselims and no one would notice. Or so the story goes. Abu Ghraib in Iraq so the U.S. military could torture Iraqis. The last twenty years have given America an abundance of ugly shit. Supposed if not alleged 'honorable' American leaders reduced to make your skin crawl vermin hellbent on undoing the rule of law and simple human decency. Yeah some fun there boy. Does anyone dare to imagine what the next twenty year...

  I was listening to the radio this morning, the PBS radio schtick (NPR) and, a lady was prattling on and on about "that day." At first I couldn't figure out what the hell she was on about. After a bit and as the morning brain fog lifts, it dawns on me the talking head lady was on about 9/11/01 and the twentieth anniversary of "that day" which just so happens to be tomorrow. The lady prattled on for a while and never not once made mention of 9/11/01. The woman kept saying "that day." It was almost as if the mere mention of 9/11/01 would bring an airliner crashing into her radio booth killing the radio woman, the radio staff, crush the building housing the radio booth, and be cause for an al-Qaeda celebration of twenty successful years post 9/11/01. The NPR radio talking head woman seemed more than unprofessional. A shade on the paranoid side. Clueless as to what she was talking about. It is perfectly acceptable to say '9/11/01'. You can even pr...

The big day is almost here. Ewww... the anticipation almost sends shivers up your spine. So much to look forward to and that's totally ignoring college football which will be the real celebration on Saturday September 11, 2021. Bands, parades, flowers, drinks, idiocy, and that's just at the tailgate parties prior to the football. Of course college football is way more important than remembering 9/11/01. That's much too painful to spend any time on so, let's not. Let's not even acknowledge 9/11 happened. Ignore it and it shall go away. Did you happen to read where forensics pathologists are finally able to identify remains of those killed on 9/11/01? Well it's true. I wondered almost aloud, where have "they" been keeping those remains? History will have to up the body count. Twenty years almost to the day and dead people are still being named. I'm thinking that must be a relief for the families of the victims killed on that damnably ugly day. Only t...

  "We don't know what we don't know."...Donald Rumfeld "Those Iraqi weapons of mass destruction aren't under my desk."...George W. Bush "Enhanced interrogation is NOT torture."...John Choon Yoo author of 'The Torture Memos' "I have the power."...Michael Chertoff "I could have been the commissioner of the NFL."...Condoleeza Rice "Law? We don't need no stinking' law."...Michael Mukasey "I can fly like an eagle." John Ashcroft "All you'll need is duct tape and plastic sheeting."...Tommy Ridge "Either you are with us or you are against us."...George W. Bush machine art ... farscape - peony - dang if'n we ain't about having us some fun. oh yeah... 💨

  Only four more days to go and then...the big one. 9/11/01 + 20. Damn if'n time don't just fly by when you're having fun. Sure it does. Where were you twenty years ago when "it" happened? I was home watching Charlie on Good Morning America. What ever happened to Charlie? I liked watching him and he was about the best there was at doing those morning chatty programs. The ABC news folk broke in on Charlie and there it was unfolding on live tv. One of the "twins" on fire and then an airliner flew into the other "twin" and kah-blammy! The terror attack that changed everything is live before the eyes of a watching America. Charlie Gibson, that's his name. So, where'd he go? Retired I suppose. I can't blame him for that. Life whizzes by incredibly fast. Anyway and a way back then I was cradling a mug of hot coffee, watching the morning blah blah blah and then...and then it happened. Just like that. Not so long after the "twins"...

  When George W. Bush and his band of merry war criminals decided to wage war on the Taliban and inside Afghanistan, Bush sent an army of C.I.A. paramilitary types into the Afghaniscam to take down the Taliban. At this point in time, we all know how well that turned out. You see back in the day, the Soviets tried a turn at taming the Afghans and the C.I.A. was helping the 'mujahideen warriors' make the Soviet Army's life miserable. The Soviets had set up a puppet government in Kabul and tried their best to turn the Soviet sponsored Afghan government into a functioning and pro-Soviet satellite state. That didn't work out too well and with the C.I.A. training and arming the 'mujahideen' well it didn't take long for the Soviets to cut bait and vacate the Afghan premises. You see, the 'mujahideen' were the seeds planted that grew the Taliban and those dreaded al-Qaida types. Yes people, these here United States of America cultivated the very terrorists t...
