Did the title grab your attention? I was hoping it might. My keyboard seems to be all fucked up AGAIN! Dang it! Frustrating no doubt. Machine art is up next.

One week done and only 51 left to go in our year of pandemic revisited 2022. Gosh the first week of this new year went by pretty darn quick. Or PDQ for short. You see there are about 52 weeks in a year and with the first week finito, well, that would leave a mere 51 weeks to get through. Yippee! We have us something to look forward to. Almost leaves a person all a tingle with breathless anticipation. So and here's wondering what the next Covid variant will get named. I don't know the greek alphabet that's being used to name all the dang icky Covid variants. How about perplexicon? You know and on account of all the Covid icky virus thingies get tagged with a greek alphabet name. Or number. Or whatever. How about upchucksilon? I like that one on account of all this naming bullshit leaves a person wanting to puke. I think society in general needs to cease and desist from allowing virologists or whomever, naming the damn Covid variants. This is getting tedious if not tiresome. One shape or another, it's all the Covid so just leave it at that. I mean really. Now for some Sunday machine art.

Today would have been Stephen Hawking's 80th birthday. Happy B-Day Dr. Hawking. I hold Dr. Hawking in highest regard. I've read his books. Not the strictly science books, Dr. Hawking's more popular science books explaining our universe. 'A Brief History Of Time' made complex space/time theoretics understandable. Being a minor amateur theoretical physics guy, I make up more theoretical physics than I actually understand. As for the mathematics, well, I can do some of the math in my head but having to prove my work becomes problematic. Given that most of the math taught in schools these days isn't exactly the same math I grew up struggling with, I tend to simply skip over the math crap and go for what I understand. Or what's close enough for me. Yeah, I am NOT a "numbers" man. However and all that being said, Dr. Hawking made all the heady stuff understandable. I really appreciate that. Dr. Hawking had a fine sense of humor too. He could take a good joke as well as give us some humor unlike most of the science guys. Any number of the science guys and gals are for the most part humorless. So you say it's your birthday, well, happy birthday to ya. Machine art comes right about now. In space/time history of course.

The very first Friday of 2022. Golly, the first Friday of 2022 seems like just another Friday in a rather lengthy list of Fridays. Go figure. So over in the Kazakhstan the peoples are about had enough of the dictatorial bullshit they have to live under and went apeshit crazy and started rioting with government buildings burned to a crisp and in general expressing their extreme displeasure with Kazakhstan status quo. Of course the dictator of Kazakhstan, one Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, got his el presidente panties in a twist, called in the Russians, who commenced to killing people on sight. So much for the Kazakh protests. All the fuss was over an escalation in the price of gasoline. I'm almost certain that there's more to the unrest besides rising gas prices. Much more that tends to get glossed over in Amerikan media reports. However, the Kazakh people are pissed and this isn't over. Not yet. We'll have to wait and see how many innocent Kazahks get Russianed by the end of an already very busy day in Kazakhstan, The Soviets, whoopsies I boo-booed, the Russians launch all their space stuff from Baikonur Cosmodrome that just so happens to be in Kazakhstan. Wow...go figure. Ain't about no gawd-awful peasants gonna fuck up the Soviets, oh darn and sorry, the Russians getting up to space. By the way the Soviet, sorry, Russian Cosmodrome is a way out in butt-plug Kazakhstan with the rioting occurring in Nur-Sultan the capital city of Kazakhstan. The Kazakh upper crust have changed the name of Nur-Sultan several times in almost recent history. The Kazakh upper crust seems a mite confused. However when it comes time to butcher Kazakh people, the fuckers are spot on. Well with the help of the Soviets of course. Oh sorry, I mean the Russians. Dang Soviets, I mean Russians, are almost as brutishly happy as Capitol rioters on January 6th of 2021. So it all boils down to people are just about all the same no matter where you might care to look. Any chance to spring on a little public violence seems the way to go. That being the case in our present day and age. Jesus H. Christ people, grow the fuck up. Why can't we all just get along? Now for some Friday machine art.

December 7, 1941. January 6, 2021. Both days will live forever in infamy. In case you may have missed the memo, 'infamy' is defined as the state of being notorious for something really bad or even evil. December 7, 1941 was the day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. January 6, 2021 is the day that ex-pres trump tried to usurp the presidency. Trump's minions stormed the Capitol Building, made a shit-soaked mess, and resulted in the death of at least one Capitol Police Officer. One of the insurrectionists was gunned down in the melee and gosh is that about tough or what. Stupid cow. So and here it is January 6, 2022 and trump is still not in prison. How does that evil piece of shit remain out of prison? Trump owns the insurrection of January 6 and today marks one year since. Days after the attack of September 11, 2001, there were pundits of just about all stripes calling for Mooselims to be interned. It didn't happen but a whole herd of Mooselims got themselves interned at Guantanamo Bay Camp Delta X-Ray Hell On Earth for being in Afghanistan while Osama bin Laden was alleged to have been there. Laden was allegedly the mastermind of the attack of September 11. In trump's case, there is no allegation to be made, the fucker coordinated that attack on the Capitol. So one more time, how is that evil fuck not in prison? Trump SHOULD be made to face a military tribunal, found guilty of high crimes, misdemeanors, inciting a violent riot, insurrection, and TREASON!!! Every last republican that is in cahoots with the trump should be rounded up, held in federal detention at Guantanamo, found guilty of treason, then made to face a military firing squad. Of course trump should be first. I'd love to see that fat freak frog-marched out on the National Mall, tied to a fence post, and then shot through his fat encased heart and get filled with enough bullet holes to consider the trump not only dead but a candidate for Swiss cheese of the month club. Son Of A Bitch!!!!!! Spit...spit...spit...and damn if'n our home sweet America isn't still in danger of losing our democratic republic. HOLD THE FAT FUCKER TO ACCOUNT GOD DAMN IT!!!. And now we'll wander over for some machine art.

An asteroid that is bigger than the Empire State Building is heading for Planet Earth. The folk that monitor such things maintain we've "nothing to worry about." Alrighty then, why even bring it up? A "close call" is as good as any miss so...what the hell. IF an asteroid were to target our Planet Earth and it was a sure hit, well, we'd have something to worry about then. Besides, given the hysterical nature of humans in general if Earth were to be smacked square on, the astro-guys aren't about to start a global panic by informing people of our imminent demise. Remember, what you can't see can't possibly hurt you. Or us. Or something like that. Personally I wouldn't want to know. Takes all the fun out of an apocalypso. On occasion I do like a good surprise and were our Planet to get cue balled into a solar system side pocket, well, that'd be a surprise for certain. People have more than enough shit going on to panic and freak out over. An impending asteroid collision would send the twitchy folk into an absolute frenzy of last minute "woe is me" bullshit and that would simply be unseemly. On a second personal note, I'm rooting for the asteroids. A planet killer asteroid could wipe the slate clean. Planetary speaking of course. Our Earth would start over and not make the evolutionary mistakes made this last time. 'Save The Earth...Kill All The Peoples!' I'm thinking it would be better to go out with a bang instead of a weak-ass whimper. So... 'hey all you asteroid guys', if you haven't any good news to bring up just shut the fuck up. We really don't need anymore histrionics. Machine art is next without any asteroids. I think so anyway.

The craziest woman in the United States Congress had her tweeter account permanently suspended. The woman would be Marjorie Taylor Greene or 'MTG' for short. The ignorant bitch is from Georgia and that might explain any number of things. Georgia is, in a cultural/political sense, only modestly higher up the stupid chain than Alabama BUT, not near as stupid as Texas. Mississippi might have been rated on the ole stupid chain but there isn't anyone in Mississippi that can read so...draw your own conclusions. Tweeter has apparently become culturally relevant but for the most part, I can't see it. Tweeter seems popular with the 'Dancing With The Stars' crowd and the intellectually challenged collective of people that watch 'Survivor' and 'Bachelorette'. People wonder how America could be so braindead. It's the television programs that are aired with dumb ass as the common denominator. To think that back in the day, television held so much potential. Well we can bury that illusion. Anyway and back to the MTG woman who seems to enjoy frothing at the mouth, she'll be raving on the floor of America's House of Reprehensibles that she's being picked on. No she isn't, she's being held to account for being a loudmouthed stupid cow and it's about goddamn time. MTG is the only woman in pseudo-christian klanvangelical history that has been uninvited to the "rapture" by Jesus. Gosh, that's gotta hurt. Well anyway and now that we're 3 days in to the new year and given that there's no going back now, we'll finish with a flurry and post up some machine art. Yeah like today's gonna be any different.

Day 2 of 2022. I suppose it's too late to turn back now. Machine art is next.

Well, here it is. 2022 in all it's newborn wonder. Seems like only yesterday we had us an entirely different year. We did of course. I'm being a bit stupid on this fine if not freezing morning. Outside ambient air temperature is 11 degrees Fahrenheit. Damn that's cold. So the new year starts off under Arctic conditions, wait, what used to be Arctic conditions and so it goes. Be well everyone and happy New Year. Of course if there is such a thing as a "happy new year." Machine art is next.
