  The bloody slaughter of millions of turkeys is complete. The slaughter was more than likely completed weeks ago. Next up will be the ovens. America will fire up ovens, roasters, dutch ovens, turkey fryers, probably some hot rocks planted in a hole in some dirt somewhere, and so is all this barbaric or what. The holiday tomorrow would be Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving would be a mythic imprimatur on the "birth of a nation." It was pilgrims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving with Native Americans and according to 'legend', the pilgrims were saved by the Native Americans. There are numerous and varying accounts of a "first Thanksgiving" and the legends on how America came to be born are mostly fiction, here say, and curious fantasy that has woven itself into the fabric of how Americans celebrate the horrific genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans from a continent that was absolutely owned outright by Native Americans. First Nation peoples. Now d...

According to the talking heads on PBS Newshour and that would be Tamara What'sHerName and that other ditzy talking head lady, President Joe is trailing badly in polling. Now it should be noted here that the next presidential election will be held on the first Tuesday in November of 2024. Gosh that's like ... wait for it ... next year. Oh yes and an entire year is yet to pass before the American people get to decide who or should that read whom, shall rule over us. After the presidential election and provided that ... the next presidential election is free from conspiracy theory, lawsuits, and donald trump. Of course PBS Newshour polling is done by "other polling concerns" and might not necessarily reflect how an election may in fact turn out. You know, after the votes are tallied and important little details like that there. Tamara What'sHerName and that 'other' talking head ditzy girl, are merely reading copy that was compiled and written for the teleprom...

  Rosalynn Carter has departed the peanut fields of Georgia and she knows full well, at this point, what happens after death. Ms. Carter was a renowned Presidential First Lady and as the wife of Jimmy Carter, she left an indelible mark on our world. The woman was more than probably anything, gracious. She was kind. She was married to President Jimmy for a dang longtime and that comes as no mean feat in these our postmodern times. Rest in peace Ms. Carter you've earned that much in the very least.  Now we start off the feast day week with our Monday machine art. Don't forget to black shop on Friday. For the life of me I can't imagine that anyone would want to but, that's just me.  bleed - float - pain - spurf - shroud - alice from the paris hilton - did you know that Rosalynn Carter's husband Jimmy is I think, the only American President that has managed to broker a peace deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis? thinking about that seems more than a little sad...

  Did you know that NASA, America's space agency, can now track your farts? This report is NOT to be taken as comedy. This is an admitted to fact by NASA. Dang ... who knew? I suppose that a bit of context is necessary to the construction of this wee bit of screed. Context - NASA launched a satellite back in July 2022 and this satellite is known as 'EMIT' an imaging spectrometer and the acronym is for Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation. Obviously EMIT rolls off the tongue a helluva lot easier than the 'official' name. So, the satellite has "proficiency surprising its designers" and evidently that is a good thing. For NASA but not however for people who worry about flatulence. There is one hard fast rule concerning the human species and every other species of life on Planet Earth. Everyone farts. I fart, you fart, President Joe farts, the grand ayatollah of Iran farts, cows, dogs, cats, birds, fish, ducks, ducks fart under water by the way, and...

  My very favorite artist of all time and that would be Vincent van Gogh, is justified in his portrayal of sky, clouds, and lofty sights. By none other than the World Meteorological Organization and their "official" World Cloud Atlas. Who knew ... Anyway and according to the WMO, a newly named 'asperitus' cloud formation has been spotted, photographed, and here is that very photag - The image was taken by meteorologist Kristan Lund and Lund works for the National  Weather Service. Lund was driving into work, caught the clouds, and got the shot of a lifetime. According to WMO, this cloud formation is extremely rare and therefore Lund has made claim to rarity and photographed that rarity for all time. Good on you Kristan Lund. Damn cool photo I should add. As the photo was compared to a Van Gogh painting by Lund, the NWS, and the WMO well that is some heady stuff right there. Damn cool photo no doubt. So and with that slice of some rarely seen good news, we'll segue...

  President Joe has gone all in on Israel's ethnic cleansing/genocide of Palestinian men, women, and children. Additionally and at this point, I really couldn't care less about Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. Given the scale of Israeli atrocities on Gaza, well, Israeli hostages could be construed as minor. So with President Joe fresh off a "summit" with China's President Xi and according to news reports that summit was quite productive, President Joe insults China's President Xi by calling the man a "dictator." It's China for hell sakes and the Chinese prefer "dictators", emperors, kings, China Communist Party Number One, preferential leaders, and those Confucius types. Sure the guy is more than likely a "dictator", so what? The Chinese people seem perfectly content with their political structure and I would venture that the Chinese people won't take too kindly to feebly President Joe insulting their "leader....

  We will soon be very much alone. Exactly how soon is up for debate. The debate is confined, but not limited, to astronomers, astrophysicists, and assorted brainiac types that get all head up debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Turns out our Universe is expanding. Our Universe is expanding exponentially. The proof for the conjecture is found in the wavelengths of light. You see light can be a particle and/or a wave. You see once more, there are 'shifts' to light in the red spectrum and in the blue spectrum. Of light. If an astrological light observed is "blue shifted" that light is getting closer to a viewer. If an astrological light observed is "red shifted" well that light is distancing itself from an observer. Makes perfect sense. Or not. Matters? That conjecture is also up for debate. Anyway and the bottomline here would be, in several hundred thousands of years (millions if not billions?), Planet Earth will be sans any and all neig...
