  Down goes America's chump. The trump will be doing the perp walk p d q. That acronym is 'pretty dang quick'. The particulars in the indictment are sealed by order of a New York court so all the blah blah blah from news outlets is purely speculative. There are reports concerning the indictment that indicate trump is charged on 30+ counts for various high crimes and misdemeanors. Any bullshit coming from trump himself is simply bravado and pleas of 'poor me'. The trump is an embarrassment. Now for Friday machine art and the distinct possibility that trump will embarrass himself even further. What an ass... radio - future past - odyssey - elven teatime - it is entirely plausible that the trump spawn will face indictment the same as daddy. it would be worlds of enjoyable to see the trump kiddies doing the perp samba. come on Barbie doll iVanka, dance like a chicken. 😆

  In an almost surprise turn of events and the announcement of the mammoth meat meatball schtick, Italy has enacted new legislation that strictly bans "cultured meat." In particular, lab-grown mammoth meat. Can't blame the Italians for that. It will take a long time before "cultured meat" approaches acceptability. Or edibility. I'll not try lab-grown meat. Not now and not ever. I suppose one could place me squarely in the 'ain't not about ever gonna eat that shit' camp! Enough said. Thursday machine art is up next.  the work of R. Crumb - planetary - feed - blue bayou - I can imagine that many nations will be banning "cultured meat." Some crap concocted in a petri dish IS NOT FOOD! 😠

Quick-breaking gastronomical news, a start-up company in Australia is diving into the "cultured meat" market. "Cultured meat" would be edible meat grown in a lab. Meat not raised on grass or hay or alfalfa or chicken feed or even close to being animal. Lab-grown meat. Dang if'n that doesn't sound yummy. Or possibly not. I'm a 'traditionalist' as far as meat is concerned. Various animals raised on a ranch or farm or sometimes in the wild BUT, animals of four legs and sometimes two legs. Packaged all neat and tidy and available at our local Walmart. In the meat department. Don't get me wrong here, I view my visit to the meat department as a form of human evolution but there was a time in my past when I was all about hunting then killing wild animals and then removing their innards and skin and after proper aging of the carcass, butchering the deceased animal for dinners. I don't commit any of that barbarism any longer. A strange tale of my ...

  The french fried state of Idahoe is allowing death by firing squad and the Idahoe Legislature passed death by firing squad legislation with that passed legislation being signed by Idahoe Governor Winky Little. Good old Winky signed that legislation on Friday last. Idahoe is 'pro-life' except when Idahoe is pro-death. Of course, Idahoe women can't get an abortion in case of life-threatening situations. Idahoe is "pro-life" except when Idahoe is pro-death. Makes sense no? Oh, hell no way does any of it make any sense. Idahoe is just another in a growing number of knee-jerk states ruled by knee-jerk politicians that understand nothing about life OR death. Idahoe is planning to change its state motto. Yup. Idahoe intends to change its state motto to "If It Moves Shoot It." Idahoe intends to execute any woman that gets an abortion and that little surprise was tucked neatly inside that death by firing squad legislation. America is in the not-so-distant futur...

  The  trump made a "campaign stop" in Waco, Texas on Saturday. Hold on...I better check that...yup Waco on Saturday. You might remember Waco, Texas from the Janet Reno days of cooking folks alive. The F.B.I. was unable to dislodge Branch Davidians from their Waco, Texas compound back during Bubba's days in D.C. and so the F.B.I. while attempting to smoke the loonies out with teargas, ended up starting fires that engulfed the Davidian compound and the Branch Davidians were burned alive. Men, women, and children. There were NO recriminations for that little cockup. A shining moment in U.S. law enforcement history. Janet Reno was Bubba Clinton's Attorney General. Anyway, Herr trump took to rambling and raving about his pending indictments for any number of high crimes and misdemeanors, many of which are treasonable offenses. Good old 'shit-for-brains' trump insisted that 2024 will be the "final battle" and of course, he, trump, did not offer further ex...

  Russia's president Vlad 'the war criminal of St. Petersburg' Putin plans to outfit Belarus with "tactical nuclear weapons." Oh great, here comes another 'cold war'. I didn't much care for the first 'cold war' and that one I grew up in. Under? On account of? Whatever! You see Belarus is a Russian puppet state and Belarus is just about exactly to the north of Ukraine. Oh yes and I almost forgot, Belarus is a nation/state in the Baltic region of Europe. I don't believe that Belarus is a member of the E.U. E.U. would be the European Union. Whatever. Back in the 1950s, the cold war was an all-encompassing madness that affected just about all aspects of life in the 50s. We had air raid sirens that lead to drills, and schools taught us children how to "duck then cover" under our desks at school just in case the rooskies dropped the 'big one'. So much fun. There were "fallout shelters" stocked with K-rations, water, co...

  Taylor Swift recently had a pricing dispute with TicketMaster over what TicketMaster was (is?) charging fans for a ticket. I read a piece on one of the websites that indulge in that form of financial abuse, that Swift tickets were priced at about $3600.00. For one ticket. Damn if that doesn't seem outrageous. I can remember back in the day I went to see Vanilla Fudge and Led Zeppelin was the opening act. Tickets were five bucks. Yup. I didn't know at the time who in hell might Led Zeppelin be. I knew who they were after the show. My point is, show tickets and concert tickets are overpriced in the extreme. Compare five bucks to three thousand six hundred bucks for one ticket. Holy not about to buy into that shit! One more point needs to be made here, I googled up to find the actual ticket price for a Taylor Swift concert in Vegas and the tickets are 'only' three hundred and six dollars and "up." I suppose that three hundred and six dollars for a nosebleed sea...

Oumuamua, our friendly interstellar visitor that hit the headlines a while back can now be pronounced   as a nonlife visitor. Astrophysicists are still puzzling over the odd shaped visitor from another galaxy. It (Oumuamua) seems cigar-shaped or may be shaped like a pancake. Okay, brainiac guys which is it? Cigar-shaped OR a pancake? You get no answer to that pressing question. Figures. However, the astrophysicist brainiac guys have figured out what the 'thing' used for propulsion. Oh yeah, the really smart guys can't figure out our visitor's shape but they've come up with a scientific postulate for how the dang thing was traveling through space. Interstellar space. Gas. Yup, good old gas. Hydrogen gas. Or possibly Oumuamua was driving on regular gas from back in the day when gasoline had the lead in it. That really sweet smell of leaded gasoline. Oh yeah, take me home on country roads in a cruiser fueled with leaded gasoline. But I seem to be off-topic. Anyway, Oum...

  Yes my friends there is a 'cat-apocalypso' happening right this very minute in Florida of all places. Nile monitor lizards have somehow and mysteriously appeared in Florida and the beefy dang lizards are eating Floridians out of home and cats. The Nile lizards are not some manner of tiny lizard, no they are not. The Nile monitor lizard can grow up to 5 feet and then some and weigh close to 15 pounds give or take an ounce or so. The monitor lizards are quite adept at climbing trees by the way. Just wait until the monitor lizards get a seasonal Florida freeze and start falling out of Florida's trees.  The lizards have taken a liking to Florida so the crawlers are homesteading Florida and there ain't not a dang thing good old Ron DeSantis can do about it. The Nile lizards have acquired a taste for American house cats. Yup. Floridians are ever so put off by the Nile lizards eating their cats and the Floridians want something done about this invasion. One unnamed Floridian...

  Fossil hunters in New Zealand have discovered the fossil remains of a penguin that tipped the fossil scales at 340 lbs. That is one giant penguin. New Zealand paleontologists made their discovery known in a recent edition of the Journal of Paleontology. A scintillating publication that's popular among those paleontologists that prefer their paleontology discoveries reported on the printed page. It was also said that the newly discovered fossil penguin didn't put up with any bullshit from leopard seals. Leopard seals have been known to hunt seals. Now for Tuesday's machine art. lu lu - sunflower - the beauty of cinema noir - Raul - I am the proud owner of mammoth vertebrae. just one. an entire mammoth fossil could prove problematic. where would you house an entire mammoth fossil? short answer would be a museum. 😉

  Northern California had its night sky lit up by space debris that caught flame as the space junk reentered Earth's atmosphere Friday evening last. The denizens of No Cali thought they were being invaded by space aliens. The US military and NASA had to reassure the No Calians that there was NO space invasion underway and the ever so twitchy No Calians were then able to resume their sleep drills unabated. Silly No Calians are just a mite-twitchy, nervous, antsy, panic prone, and you really can't blame them. What with forest fires, horrific snowstorms, rains leading to floods, and the dang snow hasn't really begun its melting process. So yes the good people of No Cali are deservedly gun-shy and their personal stories of living in a wet hell on Earth are only now being brought to light. Monday machine art is up right about now.  Billy Pilgrim - bonsai - lizard life - Arctic Mystic - there is an actual and for real story behind the Arctic Mystic image I posted back up there on...

  Just when you might have thought it safe to read the news again, up jumps America's 'lord of the lies' and that would be trump. The trumpster manages to regularly have his name in the headlines. You'd think there might be more important news to report on... but no. Even when there are wars to report on, all any American reader gets is trump this and trump that. It seems to me that had somebody pumped a bullet inside trump's head, well, that might be newsworthy. Far be it for me to wish a horrible demise on trump...sure that's my story for now and I'll stick to it for the time being. The 'lord of lies' is insisting that he's going to be arrested this upcoming Tuesday. How the dumbass might be privy to law enforcement designs or events is unexplained. According to New York law enforcement types, they have no idea what trump is blabbering about. Law enforcement types rarely if ever give the general public or trump for that matter, advance notice o...
