Mid-Morning Open Thread
Joshua Reynolds One of the advantages of retrospectives and large collections of a single artist is that one can see how the artist's perspective and technique and hell, emotional outlook changed over the years. One of the things I noticed about Reynolds was that the more intimate the painting was, the more interesting it seemed. The one I posted is grand and bold with lovely colors, but the old lady just seems like some random toff (no, I don't know the feminine equivalent) he scooped up for a sitting. Nothing unique or interesting at all. But his closer portraits reveal a better and more perceptive artist. Or he said to himself, "fvck it, Lord Halliday is a bit of an inbred retard and won't know the difference."

Well.
I have it in my mind to do some self-employment stuff.
I got an email from Apple about an entrepreneurship camp they are running. Great! I use Apple. I like Apple.
But then I was disappointed when the email then says "for female founded and led organizations." Not very inclusive, I think. Bummer.
So I go to delete it and I see this at the bottom of the email: "Apple believes that gender expression is a fundamental right. We welcome all women to apply to this program."
Now I'm back to wondering....do I just apply as a woman?
The new roolz is so confuzing.

The shareholders and bondholders got robbed and UAW took over the firm and it went bankrupt anyways. New GM actually makes quite a bit of money but they've been shutting down and selling money losing segments. The company as a whole is not in bad shape.

Sadly, nothing can be legally done to prevent this from happening in the future: it's California (which is entirely within the Ninth Circus' jurisdiction). I imagine that you could purge voter rolls and monitoring the vote tabulation in other states to prevent it from happening there, but the Land of Fruit and Nuts is entirely hopeless in this regard.

I would add to that saying that is also about the rule of law. If laws become subjective, then we have lost our country. If laws only apply to certain classes of people, but not others (where have we seen this? Clintons for example), then we are losing our country.

I've pondered this since the topic came up yesterday.
Seemed like Trump shit-canned Sessions as soon as he got the mid-term results, and could count 34 Senators that would not vote to remove him.
Maybe the math doesn't work out for this. Or maybe - and we're screwed if this is true - Trump falls into the group of those that refuse to expose the FBI in order to save the FBI as is.
We know that Trump has the Obey the Court reflex. Maybe that extends to the FBI as well.

I've noticed the same phenomenon in Sargent's portraits: the more grandiose they are, the
less personality they display - though in Sargent's case, the
personality (often unpleasant) often still leaks through. Sargent's smaller, more intimate portraits often were of his friends. There, the personality, and Sargent's affection for them, shows with every brushstroke.
Reynolds was very good at painting, and very good at pleasing his customers. The lack of personality may be due to the fact that the persons who commissioned the portraits - usually wealthy, well-connected husbands - wanted a painting that would match the decor and impress the guests, rather than one that would bare the soul. My guess is that from the neck down, Lady Jane looked nothing like this; but also that her husband, who paid the artist's commission, was well pleased with it.

What was wrong with it? Yes, we've seen it adapted to film or TV 2000 times (because it's the most visual of the Holmes stories), and we've seen the trope where the supernatural threat turns out to be a hoax by the villain even more times than that. But the atmosphere, the fact that Watson seems to be learning some of Holmes's skills and is trusted by Sherlock to be his man in place during the investigation, is all grand stuff.
The style is old-fashioned; yes. Nothing wrong with that. Doyle was a very crisp writer for his time. Try some Dickens if you want looong descriptions.

Although a Holmes fan, myself, I must admit that Conan Doyle's wordsmithing dissipated in the long form. When he was confined to the limits of a short story, he was superb.
Rather like Arthur Sullivan was a genius in the context of the Savoy Operas, but sprawling and unfocused in larger works such as Ivanhoe.

The colors were probably vibrant in the first few years of the painting's existence. Reynolds was flooded with commissions, which made him a hurried technician. He took shortcuts, got careless on the finish. Some of his paintings would begin to crack immediately following completion. Letters exist of his buyers complaining about it.

Trollope. His books are strictly for reading, there seems intentionally to be no moral. He also lapses into occasional lengthy soliloquies which are amusing.
I recall of one of his characters he comments, 'We shall hear of Mr.James no more'.
Out of nowhere, in 'Barchester Towers', he comments on long-winded preachers thus:
"There is, perhaps, no greater hardship at present inflicted on mankind in civilized and free countries, than the necessity of listening to sermons. No one but a preaching clergyman has, in these realms, the power of compelling an audience to sit silent, and be tormented. No one but a preaching clergyman can revel in platitudes, truisms, and untruisms, and yet receive, as his undisputed privilege, the same respectful demeanour as though words of impassioned eloquence, or persuasive logic, fell from his lips. Let a professor of law or physic find his place in a lecture-room, and there pour forth jejune words and useless empty phrases, and he will pour them forth on empty benches. Let a barrister attempt to talk without talking well, and he will talk but seldom. … A member of Parliament can be coughed down or counted out. Town-councillors can be tabooed. But no one can rid himself of the preaching clergyman. He is the bore of the age … the nightmare that disturbs our Sunday’s rest, the incubus that overloads our religion and makes God’s service distasteful. We are not forced into church! No: but we desire more than that. We desire not to be forced to stay away. We desire, no we are resolute, to enjoy the comfort of public worship; but we desire also that we may do so without an amount of tedium which ordinary human nature cannot endure with patience; that we may be able to leave the house of God without that anxious longing for escape, which is the common consequence of common sermons."

I don't think the Chinese are inventing anything. The tech they are using is Crispr tech from the US, just now being applied to human embryos. There are Crispr tech companies all over Boston (and the US) working hard on editing human genes, for therapeutic purposes (curing diseases like ALS and Huntingtons etc).
What we don't do is human experimentation until the technology is safe for humans (the regulatory part I guess). The Chinese are just going ahead and skipping all the messy and time-consuming early stage work.

CHF itself wouldn't so much make you have a chronic cough, but long-term
treatment with ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril or enalapril (used to
treat congestive heart failure) can have chronic cough as a long-term
side effect.
I was in the hospital last January for CHF. They treated me with IV diuretics. I have never peed so much in my life. They pulled almost 20 pounds of liquid from my body in three days. And I'm not that big, either.
Now I take furosemide and I'm now rather svelte for a 29-year-old, even if I do say so myself.

The report will be released at some point. To not do it would be a political disaster for Trump with the left screaming coverup from now until the day he leaves office.
Trump has been clear since Day 1 that he has nothing to fear and won't stop the investigation prematurely. He'll probably take a few political hits from the report but there won't be any collusion.
And then he can counterattack. He likes to punch back twice as hard.

He was given virtually an open-ended authority to conduct a witch hunt on anything he wanted.
Under the Deputy Attorney General's Order, Special Counsel Mueller is:
authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by
then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including
(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government
and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump;

Like choosing a computer password, there are rules to pick a nic that won't get accidentally used by anyone else some time.
First, it must be at least two words, and those words must be a meaningless juxtaposition that no one else would ever want because together they are so bizarre and stupid that, not only would no one ever stumble upon it by accident, they wouldn't want to use it if they did.

DOJ guidelines are all about indictments though.
About enforcing the law.
A report will be a political document, not a Legal one.
AND, as the DOJ works for the President, NOT the Congress, I'm trying to figure out under what Statutory or Constitutional power the Congress can even ASK the DOJ for a 'report'.
Because this is not an oversight matter, its a Legal matter. I could see the Supremes or a Court asking the DOJ for a report... but...

Sci-Fi Writer Says 'Lord Of The Rings' Is RACIST Because It 'Discriminates Against Orcs'
I read that article this morning and didn't even bother to link it. I read just about all the SF I can get my hands on and I never heard of that turd that said that.

A long long time ago I was Prufrock's Mermaid or just Prufock and someone came along being J. Albert Prufrock.
I couldn't tell if he was being ironicalish or didn't know that it's J. Alfred Prufrock, but it annoyed me.

Andrew Duncan is a nobody. He's less of a sci fi writer than I am. His opinion does not come from a place of authority.
This is also not a new critique nor is it a serious one. The 'Orcs didntdonufffin' is a stupid bit of cultural Marxism that's been around since the early 70's at least.

The whole thing is a scam brought about by Obama holdovers and other assorted assholes in the DOJ with the aid of the Communists in the congress. The thing that sickens me is that Sessions allowed it to happen by "recusing" himself and the Republicans in Congress allowed it to go forward because the RNCe hates Trump.

"Nothing unique or interesting at all. But his closer portraits reveal a better and more perceptive artist."
Isn't that the case with most of the classic portraitists? Rembrandt may be the exception.
A perfect example are Van Dyck's cartoonish paintings of Charles I. The only interesting work of the Charles group was likely influenced by Lotto's Portrait of a Man in Three Positions, which was in Charles I's collection at this time. None of his patronage painting compares to his Iconography series.
Velázquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X was a departure from the norms and a real risk taking; but his Las Meninas is just a clever device to please his patron.
One must pay the bills and keep one's head, no?
