Right Here Right Now

 Let us all bow our heads and give thanks...for nothing really. Yes today is Sunday and there is golf on the teley and hockey is on and probably a load of crap that isn't worthy of mention. There's plenty of war and the ancillary carnage that comes hand in hand with armed conflict. Ukraine, Sudan, Eritrea (?), and other places haven't had enough bloodshed yet to merit any reporting. So in response to NPR and their reporting on some literary genius lady that authored a tome titled 'Are You There God?', well, god has been on vacation for thousands of years on the other side of the cosmos. God did leave a notice posted just on the outskirts of our solar system and that sign reads...' please leave them the fuck alone. You really don't want to bother this bunch.' Theologically we are dealing with an alleged triune godhead so...whatever. Now for Sunday machine art and a solemn promise to leave theological bullshit alone. For now...

It's Not That Hard...

 Guns and the proliferation of guns are killing Americans. Men, women, and children. Mercilessly ventilated with holes left gaping by bullets. So here comes the easy part, outlaw the goddamn bullets! The Second Amendment of America's Constitution does not say squat about bullets. So let the flood of guns continue. However, remove the access to bullets, gunpowder, and presto...problem solved. Let the nimrods, the borderline psychotic, gun-loving republicans, bloodthirsty mass shooters, and even Ted Cruz have all the godforsaken weaponry their evil little hearts desire. DO NOT allow the crazy fuckers to have any bullets. Back to the 2nd Amendment crap, read the Amendment from beginning to end...not a mention and not so much as a consonant or vowel is surprisingly to be found about bullets. There is NO mention of gunpowder, bullets, or even the spiffy extendo-clips that mass murderers and bloody lunatics seem to have in abundance. The nimrods could even be allowed to have and to hold those ever-so-precious extendo-clips. Do not allow them bullets to fill their goddamned clips. No bullets no bloodshed problem solved. Easy as easy can be. Now for Saturday machine art.

In Need Of Spinal Transplant

 America's latest to be ex-vice president, Mikey 'he'll eat it' Pence was seen panhandling on an Iowa street holding a sign that read "will work for spine." It seems that Pence has finally come to grips with being a spineless twerp and he's willing to "risk it all" searching for a spine that will be transplanted into Pence's back. "A spine, a spine, my legacy for a spine"...is what Pence is quoted to have said upon being questioned about his panhandling. Pence having spent 4 grueling years in service to his liege lord trump, left our Mikey a broken and humiliated man, so now Mikey is searching for redemption and a new lease on a legacy. Seems like a tall order to fill at this late date. Now for Friday machine art and we'll forego any spinal transplants or spinal taps at the very least.

Mikey might not have to wait too very long waiting for a transplantable spine...there's enough carnage every day and everywhere in America so, he just might get his pick of available spines. 😏

 

A Long And Winding Toad...or

 America's former el presidente #45 is on trial in a Manhattan New York courtroom for rape. Yes, rape. This isn't like Bubba Clinton's jizz on a blue dress sort of shitstorm. No, it is not. This is a civil trial and there won't be any jailable sentencing. You see and according to the lady that is bringing the civil complaint to trial, trump raped the lady back in 1995 or 1996. I believe the lady's name is Carroll. Maybe I should check that spelling...yup, I got the spelling correctly. Anyway, Ms. Carroll gave testimony on Wednesday that if taken at face value is pretty dang incriminating. Personally, I hope that Ms. Carroll gets a civil verdict of 'trump is guilty'! Personally again, I hope Ms. Carroll is awarded a staggering pile of cash that there will be no way in hell that trump can weasel out of having to fork over. The ex-el presidente is a presidential asshat and the freak needs to be locked up. There will be other cases that come to trial that should cover any jailable sentences. We can only hope. Now for Thursday machine art.

I have to wonder how ex-el presidente can afford to pay all the lawyers required for all the legal cases the fucker is facing? 😎

Supreme Being

 I am not addressing the 'god' debate. (debate??) I am addressing the United States Supreme Court, particularly Chief Justice Johnny 'didn't do it' Roberts. You see Justice Roberts was "invited" by the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dick Durbin, to have a friendly chat about the ongoing corruption of various Justices sitting on the Supreme Bench at our present time. Chiefy Roberts politely declined. Roberts cited legal crap-o-la about the "separation of the equal branches of American government" and "no" he, Roberts, ain't of a mind to comply with Durbin's invitation. Hmmm...wha-cha hiding Chiefy? Corruption on the judicial bench of which you're the chief? Anyway, justice in America is mostly an illusion so 'we the people' are stuck until some of the justices cack and take that really long dirt nap. Sooner would of course be the preferable turn of judicial events. You know, the sooner justices croak the better. Now for our regularly scheduled Wednesday machine art.

Bloodletting

 We had a 'bloody Monday' in medialand and what a joyous turn of events that turned out to be. Tucker 'the toad' Carlson got the axe from Rupert Murdock at Fox. Don Lemon once of CNN got the axe from CNN. That leaves about half a dozen other media talking heads that need to meet the unemployment guillotine for a continued and long overdue bloodletting. Calls for violent sedition and callous treason, especially coming from alleged "respected and trustworthy", journalists needs to be met with quick and authoritative rebuke. Carlson has been a loose cannon for years. Don Lemon is alleged to have made age-related and rude remarks to Nikki Haley. I've never watched Don Lemon or CNN for that matter so...I'm relying on second-hand reports as to the whys and wherefores regarding Lemon. Additionally, Lemon's termination is hardly front-page news. Carlson's firing would be bottom of the front-page news at best. Carlson's removal is about damn time. The 'toad' is an insufferable if not miserable little prick. Now for Tuesday machine art so raise high the roofbeams carpenters and hallelujah for karma.

R. F. C.... W. T. F?...?!?

 I learned something recently that left me wondering...why? The merry lives of Windsor have an actual and for-real "Royal Family Channel." Evidently the "royals" have a youtube site and they call it the "Royal Family Channel". Lah...Dee...Dah. If you tune in, well, you can gorge yourself on all the 'royal' cutesy shit you might could stomach for a lifetime. Maudlin, trite, and meaningless. I'd bet you could even watch the coronation crap-o-la for Chucky the Triad. That would of course be Charles of the big nose branch of the Windsor family. Trite and meaningless. Now for Monday machine art and it's glaringly obvious there really isn't much worth wise-assing about.

The Song Remains Shamefully The Same

 Saturday, April 22, 2023, and Earth Day came and went without much ado. You see in these our postmodern early twenty-first-century world, it seems a shame that almost no one takes our changing climate seriously. Damn shame really. The Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets are melting faster and faster every passing summer warming season. Has anyone in any politically responsible position done so much as taken scientific warnings to heart and raised alarms? The short answer here is..hell no! Pump more hydrocarbons into our shared atmosphere and breath deep the gathering pollutants. We are screwed. Happy belated Earth Day. Now for post-Earth Day machine art on a Sunday.

way back in the day and the very first Earth Day, that was a really big deal. all types of hipsters, yokels, stoners, and girls that had given up wearing a bra were jumping around in celebration. on April 22, 1970, our world's first E.D. those were some heady times. oh yeah... ☺

NASA Lasers Japan

 Not since the ending days of World War II has the United States rained havoc on Japan and yet... Here we are 78 years after the really big one ended and NASA lasers are raining down on Japan. Yup. The NASA laser rain was actually caught on camera, which is a fairly amazing trick. The laser-catching camera was installed just outside the Hiratsuka City Museum by museum curator Daichi Fujii who had suspicions about NASA dropping laser rain on his city. Mr. Fujii wasn't about to take the laser rain peaceably. Nope. Mr. Fujii sprang into action after rumors about the NASA laser rain began to spread around Hiratsuka City. Upon being grilled about the laser rain on Japan, NASA insisted that there was no harm to any Japanese and calling the NASA laser rain an act of war was simply "over the top." The NASA brain trust made mention of their laser satellite which is an "ICESat-2", and NASA insisted the satellite was for the most part harmless. Sure sure... Mr. Fujii and other Japanese authorities were adamant about the "seriousness of the issue" and took their grievances to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. The U.S. State Department would neither confirm nor deny Japanese claims. Figures. Now for Saturday machine art without courtesy of lasers.

"Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"

 To put that whiz-fancy hi-tech jargon that spewed forth from Elon Musk's SpaceX, Musk's super 'heavy lift rocket' that is on paper anyway the biggest rocket ever...went ka-blammy shortly after liftoff. Musk's rocket was simply one titanic firecracker. The rocket exploded and it's probably a good thing this first launch was unmanned. Had Musk's rocket been a manned mission, well, the SpaceX guys would be scrapping bodies off the Texas countryside for miles and miles and then some more miles. I think the Musk SpaceX rocket launch failure is absolutely funny as any explosion can be. Here's a quick screen grab of Musk's rocket going all to shit courtesy of Getty -

In other hysterically funny news, trump got his ass "rebuked" by a sitting New York judge on account of trump playing cutesy with one of the numerous lawsuits that trump is facing at present. It's really not a good idea to play cutesy with any sitting judge. I can assure the reader of that notion. Judges don't like games in court. You'll get your ass slammed in a sling with a quickness you'll find astonishing. Now it's time for Friday machine art. We'll be leaving all judges in peace for the present. Clarence Thomas will be dealt with in the not-so-distant future. Thomas is a greater threat to American democracy than trump.

Coronation Quiche...What???

 The upcoming coronation of Chuck the Triad, King Charles III in Brit speak, is going all out and over the top. Not only does Chuck the Triad get to ride in an up-armored golden coronation coach, but the Triad also gets genuine and for reals 'coronation quiche' fit for a king. I think our pal Chuck the Triad gets his official crown for a king day around the first part of May. I think. I also don't really care but the news of a 'coronation quiche' is too good to simply leave cooling on a window sill. Charles has been waiting for his coronation since about the eighties. However, Lizzie the Deuce simply would not kick off this mortal coil and kept Chucky waiting then waiting then waiting some more, and then... Lizzie the Deuce ruled the United Kingdom for longer than Queen Vicky back in them olden days. Well, Lizzie the Deuce finally cacked and now Chuck gets the royal spotlight all to himself. I'm fairly certain that the new Prince of Wales, Willie, won't have to wait around for as long as his daddy had to wait. Almost new King Chuck the Triad is already in his mid-seventies so, do the geriatric math. 'Coronation quiche', judas h. priest... talk about ridiculous. Now for Thursday machine art.

That Is One Big Cesspool

 The Planet we all know and, hopefully, love is in some serious trouble. Our Planet's ocean currents are collapsing and the collapse is inevitable. Turns out our world's scientists watching Greenland, which is in the process of seriously melting away, have managed to miss the mark when it comes to monitoring the Planet's other ice sheet known as Antarctica. Antarctica's ice sheet is melting at a faster rate than Greenland's ice sheet and the race is on to dump more dang ice sheet meltwater into our Planet's oceans so all that fresh meltwater will systemically cause the ocean's current to cease thereby leaving us with one planetary cesspool that will stink all to be damned. Our Planet's Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and all the other dang oceans minor as they are will cease being livable for sea creatures. I think such a drastic turn of ocean events is outrageous. Disgraceful. Damnable. Human leadership is woefully behind the curve and the situation is dire. Of course, politicians of just about any persuasion will continue to hem, haw, and do absolutely nothing to make any actionable change and we the people of Planet Earth will stand idly by and watch dumbfounded as our only liveable home dies. Our Planet's death will be slow and the stagnation will be intolerable. It isn't like people weren't warned a very long time ago. Oh yes, and the source of this damn scary news is the Yale School of the Environment and their publication is 'Yale Environment 360'.  Heady stuff there boy.           

Now for Wednesday machine art.
