It's All Over Now

 Sunday December 31, 2023 and a happy New Year's Eve to one and anyone interested enough to bother for a stop and look see. It would be more than a little not so worth while to wish a happy New Year's Eve to those not wanting to get offended by my off to the left point of view. It shall be interesting to see how 2024 will play out. You know, presidential election and goofy dang crap like that there. So hold on to your butts kids as this ride is more than likely to get damn bumpy. Now for a Sunday New Year's Eve machine art extravaganza.

I Have Things To Say ... Please Read

 The rulers of the state of Israel MUST be held to account for their ongoing ethnic cleansing and murderous genocide of Palestinian people. Israeli war crimes are there in hi def destructo-vision for all our world to see first hand. What Israel is doing is outrageous and shameful. Political leaders supporting Israeli war crimes are in material support of Israeli terrorism and mass murder so those political leaders MUST be held to account for their complicity in Israel's war crimes. Those political leaders include President Joe Biden who has now proven himself no longer fit to be America's President. That Rishi guy in the U.K. is no longer fit to be Prime Minister of the U.K.. Rishi sits idly by as the state of Israel that Rishi supports commits their ongoing slaughter of Palestinians. Vlad Putin the butcher of Ukraine, MUST be held to account for the ongoing Russian devastation and slaughter of Ukrainian people and property. Damn if'n we ain't about having some fun now. What's his name the pudgy little fart that rules over North Korea MUST be held to account and needless to say the kimchi fart king should be hanged by his neck until he quits dancing like a chicken. Good old North Korea guy has committed crimes against humanity for his treatment of Koreans of the northern exposure. Our Planet is dying and won't be inhabitable for much longer and just about all our world's political leadership refuse to even acknowledge the crisis. Bottom line would be, we the sentient beings of Planet Earth are in some seriously deep shit and NOT A GODDAMN THING is being done to prevent any further decline in living standards. Which by the way are not so livable at present. Okay enough misery and horror for now and it's time for Saturday machine art.

Portend ... A Sign Or Warning

 "Portend" is by definition a sign or warning that some serious shit is on the way. The State of Maine is set to jump start the new year 2024 by disqualifying dementia j. trump from Maine's election ballots. The upcoming 2024 election ballots. I thought I could hear one of those 'testicles caught in a vise' type screaming earlier on a Thursday afternoon and I could hear that screaming all the way out here in the Mojave. That screaming was America's worst nightmare in over a century, one dementia j. trump, screaming and hyperventilating about the ruling from the State of Maine's Secretary of State. You see most of America's states have an office of Secretary of State and one of those "official duties" is to run and validate elections held within a state's boundaries. First thing Friday morning will see trump's shysters filing "motions and bitches" with the State of Maine's Supreme Court claiming that dementia is being persecuted and hounded by individual states disqualifying trump from state ballots. Almost leaves one feeling ever so badly for dementia j.. Probably not. Maine was not one of the states that might disqualify trump and I had not considered that possibility. Ahhh jeepers there trump-meister that is some tough news no doubt. Not for America but for America's treasonous asshat and worst president ... EVER! Seditious acts of treason will do that. So on the last Friday in December 2023 and the last Friday of the year 2023, we get us a surprise that was for the most part, completely unexpected. Keep your arms and legs inside the ride from here on ... shit is going to get crazy wild and bumpy. Now for our last Friday of the year machine art.

Big Really Big Year End Clearance

 The year of our misery 2023 is just about all used up. Only 4 yes count them four days are left us and just as soon as the old clock on a wall strikes midnight on December 31, 2023 that will bring the harbinger of 2024 things to come. Of course we won't know what 2024 might bring but, possibly some real nasty shit might get resolved. You know like war, and then more war, and then a natural disaster or several, and there's that bullshit presidential election cycle which should be simply a load of laughs and merciless recriminations. So much excitement awaits with the dawning of a new year. The Chinese New Year will be the 'year of the Dragon' so if you happen to be a fan of the grueling 'Game of Thrones' nonsense, lookit out cause the shits about to git reels up in here. And in keeping with the yearend crap-o-la, here's some Thursday machine art that needs to see the light of a new day. Or simply a Thursday which ever comes first.

Something In The Way ...

 Taylor Swift got to see, up close and personal, how defeat can be snatched from the jaws of victory. Yes, Ms. Swift had a luxury box seat at the Raiders vs Chiefs game on Monday and that would have been Xmas Day and the highly touted Kansas City Chiefs got their asses handed back to them by the Las Vegas Raiders. I can almost hear Howard Cosell shouting loudly from the broadcast booth, "down goes Frazier down goes Frazier..." Frazier was a heavyweight boxer of some renown back in the day ... that and I think Cosell simply enjoyed yelling "down goes Frazier ..." Anyway with Taylor Swift swapping spit and 'other' bodily fluids with Travis Kelce, the Ms. Swift got to see the ugly side of NFL football. The current squeeze of Ms. Swift and that would be Kansas City Chiefs tightend Travis Kelce, came up crappers against the Raiders. Tightend is a position played on offense in football at every level. However neither Kelce nor the seeming almost invincible Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes could find a way, any way possible, to beat the Vegas Raiders. Back in the day the Raiders played their home games in Oakland, California at one of the crummiest football venues in all of the NFL. But the Raiders fans in Oakland were a truly unruly bunch of football fanatics and those unruly fans had their dreams of Oakland greatness shattered by the team's move to Las Vegas. Original Oakland Raiders owner, one Al Davis, was a one of a kind team owner and after Davis kicked the bucket and left the team to his rather odd only son, well, the Raiders bolted from Oakland to the warmer climes of Las Vegas, Nevada. Of course Vegas embraced the Raiders with open arms and one massively expensive football venue and the Raiders "new" venue is unlike anything ever seen in NFL footballdom. Anyway the Chiefs lost, Taylor Swift got to see the loss, the Raiders came out happy as freshly bedded clams, and life moves on like the hands of a rather glitzy clock ticking life away one tick then tock at a time. In time? Whatever ... ??? Now for Wednesday machine art and someone cue the camel.

Howard Cosell was a football announcer back in the day. Cosell announced NFL games with Frank Gifford and Don Meredith. Monday Night Football. NFL football was fun to watch back then. sadly that is not the way NFL games are played these days. 😐 hey I just thought of something almost relevant ... today's hump day will be the last hump day in the year of our lerd 2023. go figure ...

To Infinity ... And Mulholland Drive?

Xmas 2023 is history and now it's time to move ahead. Of course there will be the necessity to clear away all the Xmas detritus and carnage. All the really high priced toys for the kiddies are to be tucked safely away in closets to be ... forgotten? That hardly matters in the grander scheme of things. Back to work for Americans that are lucky enough to be employed. Finding things for children to amuse themselves with while out of school and on Xmas break could prove to be problematic for parents and those that are in charge of herding kids while parents are hard at work. Life in twenty first century America grinds on and fast forwarding to New Year's Eve and we'll be at 2024, a presidential election year, and dang that should prove to be entertaining no doubt. Possibly, America will get to see trump imprisoned for the remainder of his natural life. I'll concede the point that trump has a "natural life." There could be some debate over whether or not trump has a "natural life." I'm not so concerned about that, I'd just like to see the evil freak in prison. Okay so Xmas is done and now it's time for post-Xmas and Tuesday machine art.

A Night Before ...

 Tomorrow would be the "big day" that oh so many look forward to. HOWEVER, being almost the 'night before' Xmas and all throughout the world many creatures weren't stirring as it wouldn't be safe to do so. You see there's war over 'yonder' and there's genocide over 'in that one place' and suffering beyond compare to be had by countless numbers of nameless faceless souls. Humanity is great at ignoring the horrors on account of preparations must be completed to put the hypocrisy on full display. You know, for Xmas. Should Santa fly over some houses and homes, he's likely to meet 'defensive drones' that will shoot his reindeer and sleigh clean out of the sky. Hebrews are at war and damn they are vicious while Russians do the same to Ukraine girls and boys. So tuck your ass in bed IF you're out of a war zone and maybe just maybe the ghost of Xmas past will leave you alone. Liberties taken with several Xmas tales and shit like that there. Sunday and Xmas Eve machine art is up right about next.
