Meaningless Drivel

 The United States beat Iran in a much heralded World Cup soccer match on Tuesday November 29, 2022. If one is given to believing meaningless drivel pouring from the mainstream media bozos, the match was some manner of conclusive evidence that Iran has been humiliated on the world stage. I'm not certain how the mainstream media reached such a blanket pronouncement and coverage was just about a national phenomena with headlines reading..."U.S. 'trounces' Iran." The U.S. beat Iran by a score of 1-0. How a final score such as that merits a "trouncing" is not explained. It's soccer so...yawn!!! The U.S. managed to squeak their way into the "knock out round of 16." It's soccer so...yawn again. Current events and troubles plaguing Iran have not very much to do with soccer. However, the U.S. will make a soccer mountain out of a not so stellar shutout of the Iranians. The final score was 1-0. With the World Cup soccer crap-o-la being played out in Qatar, the Qatar camel beauty contest may have been more exciting than World Cup soccer. The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football and that game didn't rate any national headlines except for maybe in Philly and/or Green Bay. Green Bay is in Wisconsin the land of cheese heads and freaking dang winter cold. So...there you go. Priorities are important? Soccer is NOT a priority and not by a long shot on goal. Now for Wednesday's machine art.

Meteor Right?

 Meteor scientists in Canada (eh?), have announced their discovery of two new and previously undiscovered minerals. Yup, other worldly minerals from outer space! The previously undiscovered minerals are inside a meteor that was coincidentally, discovered in Somalia and not Canada. The meteor in question does pose some ownership issues. Seems to me that if'n a meteor is discovered in Somalia and not in Canada, well, ownership might belong to Somalia. Possibly the meteor is on loan from Somalia* and the discovery announcement sort of forgot to address meteor ownership issues. Would the Canadians gank the Somalians over ownership of a meteor holding two yes count them two previously undiscovered outer space minerals? Damn straight the Canadians would do exactly that. Somalia isn't known for being a hotbed of meteor science or even being aware of the meteor crashing in from outer space and landing in/or/on Somalia somewhere. Current events would indicate that Somalia has bigger issues and events to deal with and meteors aren't even on any Somalian agenda. But still... Now by way of disclaimer, I own outright a rather largish meteor that I found out in the desert. I found a strewn field and at the time of discovery, I gathered up about a dozen chunks of meteor. The largest one I keep in my personal collection and the meteor is about the size of a large cantaloupe and weighs a shade over ten kilograms. However, I'd be damned if I let anyone cut or slice open my meteor. I'm just saying. The other meteors I've given away over the years. I figured it's probably a good thing to share blessings that fall from outer space. So...shouldn't the Canadians share the wealth with Somalia? I suppose the old adage applies here, finders keepers and losers weepers. Almost like the mariners law of salvage. Now for Tuesday machine art.

*the meteor in question here weighs 15 tons. that's a damn big meteor. also the meteor is no longer in possession of Somalia or Canada, and possibly is in the hands of the Chinese. doesn't that just figure. I didn't read the entire article about the minerals and the meteor. my bad...😑

Mass Murder Monday

 In keeping with the holiday run of cutesy catch phrases to get shoppers motivated, I'll offer up reasons why shopping should probably be avoided. At least for now anyway. So we had us a 'Black Friday' which ordinarily would mean something horrendous, then there was 'shop small business Saturday' which could be a fairly safe bet as small shops haven't enough room to gather in large crowds and ergo no need for a mass shooter there. Monday is 'cyber Monday' so go ahead and shop online just be sure to get a home delivery and then you don't have to venture out to where the crowds are enticing the fucked up lunatics that tend to haunt crowded places and color the whole shopping drill a bust. For that "shoot to kill" motif. It has come to this America. Watch out where you might shop at. You know like a mall, Walmart, hospital although there might not be much to shop for offered at a hospital. Oh yes and schools but not for shopping. Schools are for picking up your children that managed to avoid being shot dead. Nor is there not much by way of shopping anyway. Work places can be problematic as the sorry chump that has been the brunt of all the office hijinx and harassment might have finally had enough and made pilgrimage to a gun store and finished his holiday shopping with enough guns and ammo to clear cut a mall or the ubiquitous Walmart. Yes, America is a rather handy killing field. So many opportunities for slaughter. Please don't look to Congress to implement any manner of gun legislation. Congress is mostly owned by the gun and ammo lobby not to mention the ever so evil NRA. Either way and at any moment, we are all of us readily made for target practice if not out right gunned down for sport. Now how about we switch up and get to the artistry portion of today's screed. Machine art is up right about now.

elong musk is gonna build him some cell phones on account of Google and Apple won't play nice with old musky. golly...why might that be? shouldn't take musky longer than ten years or so to develop a cell phone that hasn't stolen all the software and hi tech shit-to-ding that makes the infernal phones work. so don't anyone hold your breath waiting on musk to crank out a Tesla style all electric phone. that musk is a real cut up...no? ☺

Bleak Sunday

 Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, mass shootings at Walmart any day, yes it certainly seems a good thing the "holiday season" is off to a glorious start at the sound of the a gun. In this instance, a 9mm probably a Glock pistol but I don't know that for sure. Glock is the weapon of choice by mass murdering shooters just about everywhere. Of course we shouldn't leave out the ever popular AR-15's with the really "high capacity" magazine. Another popular weapon used by the killers is the AK-47. A Russian made automatic rifle that is battlefield ready and good for shooting shoppers wherever shoppers gather for a mass murder event. Living in the U.S. A. and/or living the dream. A nightmarish turn of a phrase if a phrase is anything. November is almost finito and so it goes. Now for some Monday machine art without weaponry.

Adopt A Pansy...

 Some-Dang-Where, Texas...a tattoo artist in Texas and exactly where in Texas is a closely guarded secret, is offering to tattoo anyone willing to pony up $500.00 to an unnamed charity (I don't know why so much of this article is missing any number of important details), and after the ponying up of the "donation" the tattoo artist will tattoo on a "pansy." You know, the flower name of 'pansy'? The tattoo guy is openly gay, good on him, and is doing the pansy tattoo thingy to raise money and awareness of "queer people." Way back in the day, "pansy" was an offensive term for gay and lesbian people. The article by the way is on the NPR webpage. Picture and everything but no particular details. Evidently the LGBTQ community still to this day needs secrecy. Seems damn intolerant that people can't be really open and upfront about their choices in life. In other totally irrelevant news, the trump had some kind of eating contest down at Mar-A-Lago with sleazy Ye and some white racist fuckhead name of something Fuentes. Evidently sleazy Ye was hanging with the Fuentes freak and considering that the sleazy Ye is batshit insane, there's not much of an explanation as to why old KanYe is hanging with a white nationalist christian gun freak. The trump had the guys over for Big Macs with fries and a vanilla shake. Fuentes seems a rather odd last name for a white supremacist christian nationalist whack job. I'm just saying... Now for Saturday machine art and be ever so thankful that 'Black Friday' is over and done with. Just wait until January when the credit card bills come racing through the USPS and delivered right to your doorstep. Yee-Haw!

way back when, I knew a guy name of 'Fuentes' and he was Mexican by heritage. damn proud Mexican at that. so some buzzkill is out to discredit the name of Fuentes? claiming to be white? I suppose that whatever yanks your chain these days... 😷

And The Winner Is...

 The winner is 'modo gallico bulldog' name of Winston. The "National Dog Show 2022." Aired on Thursday as matter of fact. Certainly beat the bulk of crap-o-la aired on one fine Thanksgiving Day. Weather wise anyway. Just about all the dogs were winners except for those dang icky "toy grouping dogs." Foofed up and professionalized coiffeurs and more than likely parfumed something stinky. Did you know those 'toy grouping dogs' sell for seriously serious money? Well they sure as hell do. I can't figure out how a miniaturized pooch is in any form a dog show winner let alone even close to being a dog. However that is my opinion only and my opinion doesn't mean more than squat. French bulldog? All the real dogs got ganked!!! Now for some 'black' Friday machine art.

Thanks...

 It's turkey day. Or, and more commonly known as 'Thanksgiving'. Folks are supposed to give thanks for all those blessings bestowed all year long. So allow me a moment or so to bring up things to be "thankful" for. Be thankful you're not in a Walmart when some asshole goes ballistic and commences to shoot lights out on anyone within firing range. Be thankful you're not in some LGBTQ night spot when some asshole goes ballistic and commences to shoot lights out on anyone within firing range. Be thankful you're not in Chicago when some asshole goes ballistic and commences to shoot lights out on anyone west of Lake Michigan. Be thankful you're not in Jerusalem when some asshole sets off bombs at a bus stop. You may of course remember Jerusalem as the "city of peace." Yeah...sure sure. So many things to be thankful for. I'm just thankful I've enough to eat and when the football games get tedious, I can turn the tv off and take a well "deserved" nap. Now for some Thanksgiving Day machine art. The holiday season is "officially" started.

Dog Pile On The Rabbit

 THE Supreme Court of the United States of America has rejected trump's legal battle with the House of Representatives and specifically, the January 6, 2021 Investigative Committee so the trump MUST turn over all his tax records being held by the IRS to the Jan. 6th Committee and this is the SCOTUS that has a number of trump appointees sitting on the bench. Go ahead SCOTUS...kick the man while he's down. Happy Thanksgiving Day America! 'We the people' just might be approaching the end of this total farce of a presidency. The "Donald" is about to go down in the flames of incrimination. About damn time. So America just might be able to sit down to Thanksgiving dinner with the family and watch football games all the freaking day long and then slide all fat and sassy into a tryptophan coma with belts unbuckled and pants undone. Provide you happen to be a white family with enough food for the table and absolutely NO worries whatsoever. Now for Wednesday Hump Day machined art and be sure to fast and gets ready for mañana.

What The BBC Knows And When They Knew It

 The BBC (that's the television and tele news thingy in Britain) is trying to decide whom might run as a Democrat in America's 2024 election. An article dated "23 hours ago", the BEEB ran a list of possible Democrats that might campaign for the presidential candidate nod. 2024 is still two years in future. So why might the BBC be running an article about Democrats in a possible run for the White House? I haven't a clue. Seems more than a mite premature if not wholly unnecessary. Trump has announced but a trump candidacy is up to republicans and the republicans that aren't racist are anti-Semitic and whether the repubs would nominate trump for another shot at the presidency seems at present, not very likely. I could suppose that the BBC was having a slow news day in the United Kingdom and King Chuck hasn't said anything news worthy in days. England did whip Iran in a World Cup match but that is hardly news or even sporting news. England played Iran to a 6-2 ass whooping and the Iranian national team wouldn't even sing the Iranian national anthem at the beginning of the soccer thingy. The Iranian national team will not be flying back to Iran. The entire Iranian team has been sentenced to death by Iran's 'morality police'. Those Iranian clerics are really thin-skinned and ever so touchy. Tough nuggies for the Iranian national soccer guys. Oh well. Now for Tuesday's installment of machine de luxe.

World Cup Of Coffee

 So and evidently the World Cup games are on. World Cup games are soccer and most of the world refers to soccer as football. The matches began on Sunday November 20, 2022. Yawn... in other sports news and in America where football is...football, the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Denver Broncos in overtime. Las Vegas Raiders fans went nuts. Actual wins by the Raiders have been more than a mite sparse in this 2022/2023 season. Yawn... in "other" sports news, America got to witness another mass murder shooting in Colorado Springs which is just a spit down the road from Denver. A LGBTQ night club was the killing field for the moment. Colorado Springs is where the Air Force Academy is located. Coincidence? There have been no reports of any connection between the Air Force Academy and the mass murder at the LGBTQ night club. However, these days you just never know. Not for certain. Now for Monday machine art and hopefully, there will be a short reprieve in the slaughter.

The Irony Of Toilet Day

 Saturday was the 'day of the toilet'. Go figure. I had no idea and isn't it ironic that on the official 'day of the toilet', Elon Musk reinstated the donny 'boy' trump to the tweeterverse. You see, recently MuskRat the crazy bought out the tweeter thingy for a boatload of cash and proceeded to gut the bejesus out of tweeter staff and functionaries just so MuskRat could reinstate trump to the tweeter bullshit. You see once more, MuskRat is a big fan of trump and that in and of itself seems more than a slight deviation from whatever might be normal for MuskRat. Nonetheless, Elon the MuskRat is a curiously oblong peg in a very square hole and the fit has always been not so good. So the bottom line here is that tweeter will crumble and fail, good people invested in the tweeter thingy will get stiffed for what they are owed and MuskRat and the trump thing will go their merry way...for now. Sometimes the wheels of justice turn interminably slow and fuckers like Musk and trump seem to get away unscathed. However, both Musk and trump were worlds of unaware that Saturday was 'day of the toilet'. Ironic isn't it. Now for Saturday machine art. No tweeter will be found here...ever.
