Elon Musk - Asshole Du Jour

 Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul was brutally attacked by a rabid right wing lunatic wielding a hammer. Mr. Pelosi was damn lucky to have made it through the ordeal alive and that was courtesy of San Francisco P.D.. The men in blue managed to intercede in the Pelosi attack and gave aid to Mr. Pelosi and made sure the man made it to hospital safely. Mr. Pelosi will need some time to heal. The asshole that broke into the Pelosi home was arrested and charged with attempted murder along with a number of additional charges. The asshole is in jail. So...Elon Musk after taking over the twitter thingy, decided to flex his new twitter muscle and chimed in by stating that the attack on Mr. Pelosi and to quote Musk, "there was more (to the attack) than meets the eye." Really Elon? You bloviating asshat, what factual findings might you have? Anything relevant to the case? You don't really know more than squat now do you genius boy. Stay the fuck out of shit you don't actually know about. Our world can now sit on the sidelines and watch how long it might take to thoroughly wreck the twitter thingy. Additionally, Musk is an insufferable prick. Now for Monday art and Musk can suck it.

Mississippi River?

 Diverting water from the Mississippi River to the drought parched and dusty American Southwest seemed a pretty good idea in theory. Now for the practical application of diverting any water from the Mississippi River or the entire Mississippi River Basin is, sadly, not to be. Not any time in future. You see, the Mississip Basin et al is run dry as dry can be. DROUGHT! The damnable drought is plaguing about 2/3's of all America and the Mississippi River flowing waters aren't. In actual fact, sea water from the Gulf of Mexico is now flowing UP the Mississippi and New Orleans is in some seriously deep salt water shit as the Orleaneans (Orleaners?) can't drink their water as what used to be potable is now sea water and not so good for potable usage. In fact after it was discovered that sharks were swimming the streets of Somedamnwhere, Florida...sharks have been reported swimming the bayous and bays of Deep South Louisiana. Signs have been posted along the River cautioning swimmers to beware of sharks, piranha, and man eating crawfish. Dang if'n that ain't about dangerous or what. However, there ain't about squat I can do about any of it so...oh well and tough nuggies for New Orleans and the Mississippi River. Heck, I'm thinking that Nevada might just take Gulf of Mexico water OR any dang water to be had from anywhere. Maybe Greenland wouldn't mind too much diverting water from off'n their melting glaciers... Now for the all important Friday machine art.

maybe we could convince the U.S. Navy to anchor up some icebergs from Antarctica and then tow the anchored up iceberg to San Diego or maybe even Yuma, Arizona and then ship the anchored up and hogtied iceberg to Lake Mead OR Lake Powell. that might work...or not. 💫

In Space...

 In space no one can hear your flatulence. Allow me to put that into some everyday vernacular. In space no one can hear you fart. Yes you did read that right. It seems that NASA has a brand new space science gizmo on the International Space Station that can detect methane gas. From space no less. This brand new NASA space science gizmo is so sensitive, it can detect the farting of one cow. From space! The space science gizmo is for tracing methane emissions that harbinger global climate warming. Collapse is more to the point. However, before you cease and desist from farting in public, worry not. NASA is hunting bigger emitters than any one human. Or cow for that matter. NASA is hunting those damnable big oil corporates that have been fucking up our world's climate for years. So beware damnable big oil corporates, NASA can spot your bullshit emissions FROM SPACE! Now the real and pressing question left standing like an elephant in the room...what is NASA prepared to do about spotting methane emissions by damnable big oil corporate concerns? Well? What say you NASA... Now for our Thursday machine art.

Horse Gotta Go...A Horse Gotta Go

 Recently crowned King Charles, or King Chuck as his friends and Camilla like to call him, is selling the horses His Royal Royalty inherited from his Mum the recently cacked Lizzie the Deuce. The Royal Stables will now and forever forward be eerily quiet. No horses, no stablehands, no hay, and say, won't King Chuck raise about a king's ransom off'n the sale of his Mum's horses. Breed mares, race horses, show ponies, dog and pony shows, peripheral stuff, and the dang stable that used to house all Her Highness' horses. You see, King Chuck doesn't like to ride the horses but His Royal Chuckdom will on occasion bet the ponies. King Chuck prefers cricket while Camilla prefers several of the stablehands what USED to tend to all the Queen's horses. Well no more and the sale of Lizzie's horses seems sort of sad. No more ponies to ride for King Chuck's grandchildren. One of whom is almost next in line to be the once and future King of England, Scotland, and Wales. North Ireland will on rare occasion get a royal mention but that's about it. So bid the horses a fond farewell and let us all hope and prey that none of those horses end up as steak at some posh London 5 star eatery. Eating a horse seems almost blasphemy. Now for some Wednesday machine art. No eating of the horsies is to be allowed. For dang certain!

The Speed Of Gravity Or...

While in free fall, simply avoid hitting the ground. That statement makes as much sense as worrying about the speed of gravity. Evidently physicists are in one gravitational huff over what, exactly, might be the speed of gravity. I really don't think that the speed of gravity makes much of a difference. IF you happen to find yourself heading towards the ground unaided and unassisted, you gonna go splat. Simple as that. However, it is not the fall that will hurt or kill someone. No it is not. What hurts, or kills, is that sudden stop at the end of a fall. Physicists spend damnable bucket loads of time wasted on theoretical and usually hypothetical quirky nonsensical postulates. The silly fuckers are still...STILL...wasting mucho amounts of dialog and peoples patience arguing over the Big Bang theory. It's a "THEORY goddamn it! Get over it. Now for some Tuesday ex machina artistry. On a Tuesday no less. Disclaimer - any reader will be able to view today's installment at the speed of light. Go figure that on your Texas Instrument 56B.42C numbers thingy. A TI 56B.42C is purely hypothetical.

Xey Wins In A Landslide

 Communist China held an election for their 'Supreme Leader' and the election was a landslide victory for Xey PingPong. Gosh is that about a surprise or...not. It is a given that PingPong was the only candidate to run. I suppose that 'run' is a bit misleading. Communist China doesn't allow any other candidate to 'run' but Xey PingPong. To further emphasize PingPong's appeal to the Chinese Commies, a former Chinese Commie leader was escorted out of China's Communist Election Central by unnamed and heavily armed former leader escorts. Former Communist China's 'Supreme Leader' is now being held in parts unknown China. Day after tomorrow, an announcement will herald the former 'Supreme Leader' has suddenly cacked. Communist China's former 'Supreme Leader' was named Hugh JingTingy or something like that. Dang Commie Chinese have some worlds of curiously odd names. Surnames and forenames. How a come no one ever hears word one about Commie Chinese foreskins? Probably on account of no one would give a shit less hearing about foreskins from any dang 'supreme leader'. Did you know that former first bitch Melanoma Trump has a collection of 'supreme leader' foreskins? Well, she certainly does and not even the Secret Service likes to make mention of that little tidbit. That's probably a criminally aberrant collection. No doubt. Anyway, Xey PingPong is Communist China's 'Supreme Leader For Life' and don't expect any sudden changes and not any time soon. Now for that regularly scheduled Monday machine art.

Sunday Snippets

 Being Sunday and all...here are some minor snippets of this and that. Former Prime Minster Boris Johnson is possibly making a return to the #10 Downing Street. I'm certain that the U.K. can hardly wait for sidestepping Boris' return. By way of disclaimer, I always and ever use ONLY organic fossil fuels. Murder by gun in Dallas, Texas. Hmmm, that's hardly news. The report hardly merits a repeat. You might think that Texans would be quite sick of daily murder by gun. However this is Texas I'm referring to and Texans enjoy a good gun murder along with smokehouse brisket. Did you know that brisket is organic along with fossil fuels? Well it most certainly is. Now for our ever famous (infamous?) Sunday machine art.

The Alligators Of Idaho

 I'd be willing to bet that the reader did not know that there were alligators in Idaho. Yes the potato growing capitol of the Universe...Idaho. New Plymouth, Idaho to be geographically correct. New Plymouth, Idaho is near the Idaho border with Oregon. I was certainly surprised to find out that there are alligators in Idaho. Please to view the image I'm posting right about now...

Idaho alligator -

A New Plymouth farmer was out walking his dog when the guy noticed movement in the brush. Guy sauntered over to find out what the hell was moving in the brush and Idaho farmer guy got the surprise of a lifetime. A genuine and not yet killed, skinned, and tanned to work up a pair of new alligator boots. Alligators are illegal in Idaho. To have and/or possess an alligator. It is especially illegal to release an alligator ANYWHERE in Idaho and New Plymouth, Idaho is no exception. Can't be a having no dang alligator eating on sheep, cows, pigs, pheasants, ducks, and or whatever other fauna is to be found in Idaho anywhere by an alligator. 

Ted Nugent of the 'he shit himself to avoid the draft way back in the day', offered his services to Idaho too saunter up Idaho ways and cack the aforementioned alligator. Idaho politely refused the Nugent offer of help. Wisely so I'm thinking. Nugent is a mite nuts. The Nuge is more than likely to go out on a binder and shoot up the entire town of New Plymouth, Idaho. The Nuge would of course video his exploits and then post those videos on the Outdoor and Guns channel. I did not know there was an Outdoor and Guns channel. Probably a real favorite with the star spangled klanner collective. 

Anyway, Idaho Fish and Game came and picked up the amazing appearing alligator and is making arrangements for Wally to find himself a forever home in a zoo somewhere of undisclosed location. The Idaho alligator was named Wally as an honorific. There really are humanitarian people in Idaho. That was also news to me. Now for our usual Saturday machine art and no alligators were harmed in the postings.

Found Alive (?) And Well...

 Post modern news for a nuclear familia America...a family of Neanderthal clansmen has been found alive and thriving in a cave in Russia. It is a given that any news from Russia these days may be subject to a veracity check and possibly a thorough veracity check at that. Anyway, the Russian Neanderthals are quite urbane and live comfortably in their cave in Somedangwhere, Siberia and are rather passionate about being anti-war and especially anti Putin's war of naked aggression on Ukraine. When quizzed about their anti-war position, the chief of the Neanderthal clan is adamant in saying that "war will get no one a thing except grief and death. Putin seems to have lost his freaking mind going to war on Ukraine. We've relatives in Ukraine and have been unable to reach them by any means available to us. This is untenable." And there you have it from the Neanderthal spokes cave person. The Neanderthal anti-war position could be why our world is just now learning about the Russian (Siberian?) Neanderthal. That could be the reason no doubt. Now for Friday machine art.

I made mention of our recent road trip and touring Cathedral Gorge. Wrong by about 75 miles. my bad. we were touring Rainbow Canyon. I would have known that had I checked a map rather than flying by instinct. bad idea for sure. sure and sure. 😖

Road Trip

 Did a road trip yesterday. It's been a while since we took a road trip. Spent the day in Cathedral Gorge. Wow...I had no idea. Wondrously beautiful. Images will come later after I get them downloaded from the old camera. Not camera obscura. Nope. But there is Thursday machine art.

The Price Is A Goalpost

 On the Saturday last, the University of Tennessee played the ahmighty University of Alabama. Rock 'em sock 'em football. Story unfolds and makes a finish as the University of Tennessee actually beat the University of Alabama for the first time in a dang long time. You see...college football is bigger than religion in places like Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. All other places in the United States of Religious Worship of Football are pretty much the same as college football fanatics in the American South BUT, those ancillary fans tend to avoid tearing down goalposts. Turns out that goalposts are fairly expensive. Anyway, the University of Tennessee was fined by the Southeastern Conference (an athletic association) that the Vols, (Volunteers or Vols are what the University of Tennessee athletes call themselves), belong to for the amount of $100,000.00 AND the cost of a new goalpost that rings up at about $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 and the University of Tennessee is pleading for "donations" to pay off the fine and get a new goalpost before the Vols next football game. I'm thinking that football without a goalpost would be maybe like soccer? So many pressing damn questions for your regular American people to ponder. Yup. Now for some Tuesday machine art and ain't about not no one or no thing gonna tear down our dang goalposts no matter who wins the next big game. Yup.

the goalpost that was torn down by fans of the Tennessee Vols was carted down a street and then unceremoniously tossed in the Tennessee River. A fitting end no doubt. 😳

What A Surprise

 According to an article posted on the NPR webpage, Gen. George S. Patton was in actual fact (?) a black woman in white face. I did not know that and dang if'n that isn't about one whale of a surprise. That's about all I've got for a Monday morning. Go figure. Now for Monday's machine art. No white face shall be implied in this here Monday's edition of trivial bullshit.
