I've met the guy a few times, and I'm apparently considered within the circle of friends to a limited degree.
I finished my second draft of George Washington and the Shadow of the Ohio Valley, and I decided to throw caution to the wind. I sent him a copy in an email filled with, "I know you're super busy" type platitudes. I expected a polite refusal or demurral.
Instead, I got an affirmative. He's going to read it sometime this summer. I'd been holding off on stuff to send to him because it needed to be just the right thing to get his interest, and something told me that a horror story set in colonial America would do it. And it seem to have done just that!
Dear, Sweet baby Jesus, please have Grady read it.
And, in thanks to him, I'm going to pimp his books a wee bit:
Horrorstor:
https://tinyurl.com/y8znmyrs
Haunted IKEA. It's really fun.
My Best Friend's Exorcism:
https://tinyurl.com/y67ejl5y
80s Charleston. Two girls battle a demon that possesses one of them. My friend is convinced that he's one of the main characters and Grady is the other.
Paperbacks from Hell:
https://tinyurl.com/y3cven4z
A non-fiction history of the horror paperback boom of the 70s and 80s. It's a really fun read, and its beautifully produced.

Maybe she married a Brate later?

About to get stomped but we drive by the vault on the way to/from the commissary once a month as well and my wife always says "there's out money, let's stop by and make a withdrawal." LOL.. But seriously, there is nearly $200M worth of gold in them walls based on Treasury Sec Mnuchin and Cocaine Mitch's visit in the summer of 2017. There were articles aplenty about the visit just Bing "Mnuchin visit to Fort Knox vault" and enjoy.

He could not handle perspective properly, because he lacked academic training.
However, I've read that some art historians feel that the work he submitted to the Vienna Fine Arts Academy (school) showed promise-- particularly his architecture studies.

Hitler was a classicist who painted in a Romantic style (an *interesting* combination), but his best work was of ruined cities caused by WWI. He was very skilled in watercolor, a difficult medium. He had such promise -- too bad for the rest of the world.

Apparently it's brought by developers who complain that Apple requires iOS apps to go through the App Store and takes a 30% cut of the revenue. The suit calls this monopolistic.
I'm not a lawyer. I'm kind of having a hard time though of thinking this monopolistic because these aren't consumers complaining, but software developers who complain about the 30%. Seems to me the App Store requirement offers value there in that people are looking at the apps to be sure they do what they say they do, as opposed to the Android method which is a free for all.
Different business model, but I think there's a justification behind it. That the SCOTUS vote broke out the way it did also tends to bias my thinking.

To this day nobody in the government has actually seen the DNC servers. Every claim that the Russians did it is based on a report Crowstrike made.

Bawdy? As in humorously risque in terms of sexual matters? Sure. But there are some things that go beyond bawdy.
But Fen is not alone in failing to see the humor in sexualizing pre-teens, and it happens quite a bit here. The comments section has historically also been self-policing to a degree. I don't think that equates to being "upset forever".
We bemoan the Left's sexualization of kids daily here, so why should we not point out sexualization of kids when it comes up in the comments here?

I felt really let down by the end of the Long Night. The strategy was really dumb, and the resolution was both cheap and telegraphed in a bad way from last season.
Still, there were three episodes left. I wasn't giving up on it just yet.
Last week's episode was more moving pieces around, so I didn't get too excited.
But Dany following through on her father's threats? So perfect.

And when he was done, he would tell them that if he heard ANY more crap out of any of them, he was gonna come back and whip them all even harder.

Yes, it certainly does. And calling out a specific comment (as you did) is reasonable. But making broad and baseless comments tarring everyone who comments with some sort of Freudian motivation is ridiculous on its face.
There is a line over which some commenters step from time to time. The racial comments are easy to see (there were two banning yesterday) because they are almost always humorless. The sexual comments often seem to have a bit more humor in them, so the comments will more often pass scrutiny because of that ambiguity.

I had a student ask why they had to learn about Nazi art. I told them that if they didn't understand how this philosophy developed and what it looked like, how would they be able to recognize it in the future and prevent it from happening again.

There was one movie I saw--I think the name translated to "Under the Bridges"--that was done near the very end of the war. On the surface it met all the requirements the Nazis had, but when you looked at it even slightly hard, it became clear that this was a very subversive, even anti-Nazi film. It amazed me how it got past the censors. I can only assume that most folks just went through the motions at that stage.

We had a great time, honestly. I MAY have over-shopped but it worked out...if I don't die from drinking 80 pounds of pop I have left over
Despite my best efforts, I did not burn anything but wood in a fireplace and maybe two hamburgers.
The grill was not...expertly used. I suspect I put the coals in the ash pan instead of putting them elsewhere. This is what I get for not reading instructions.
But nobody got hurt, no jerks showed up and the only hobos we saw were each given a hot dog since they had adorable dogs with them.
We had a lot of good people stop by and I had a great time meeting them and feeding them.
I want to thank Nurse Ratchet for being the engine and butt-kicker that made this happen and kept communications going.

In the battle with the Masters at Mereen, she wanted to burn the whole city down then, but Tyrian stopped her. Ever since she's been in Westeros tho she's threatened to burn it all down. She's slowly ignored her adviser's advice and she's become more and more violent.

Anti-Nazi sentiment was not widespread. Though when the first Himmler selected director made a comment about if the Nazis will win; he was promptly ratted out, tossed in jail, and then committed suicide.
Because it had Himmler's backing, it did consume vast resources. Plenty of film stock, plenty of extras, and one ocean liner* as stand in for the ill-fated luxury liner.
*At the conclusion of the war, this ocean liner would be the scene of yet another Nazi atrocity. The ship was loaded with thousands of concentration camp prisoners and deliberately left visible so Allied bombers would attack. And yes the ship was bombed and as survivors tried to swim to shore, the Nazis machine-gunned them.

I have to agree about the inappropriateness of a comment that refers to children - from the looks of the painting, the girls are 12-14 yrs. old - having sexual relations with adult men. My opinion is informed not only by having knowledge of laws regarding statutory rape, and just common decency in general...but by the fact that I'm a trained artist and as such, far from a prude.
I have seen enough naked stranger bodies in the course of my four year schooling to satisfy the nekkid lady/man requirement of every single moron here, and then some. Interestingly, none of them were minor children. Even the free-wheeling atmosphere of art school understood there was a line that must not be crossed.
I have contributed to the bawdy humor on this blog more than a time or three. Upthread Muldoon commented, "ace's blog, ace's rules", of course that is true. However in this climate of nanny-stater SJW's combing through every blessed word that is published on anti-Left blogs, I'd imagine that the blog owner would be concerned about commentary that looks like it is advocacy of sex between adults and children.

I have a French cousin who is a pretty successful architect. He was flabbergasted by the design, and loved to make fun of it, in particular the idea that all of the mechanical stuff was on the outside...exposed to the elements.

I saw a documentary one time about the Nazis making an unfinished Titanic movie.
The ship hit the iceberg and then they stuck it and that portion of the ocean in a huge box and posed the Schroedinger's Cat question, "Does the ship make it to New York or does it sink?"
It was all very meta to the meta-th power.

I read an interesting thing about brain development years ago.
I didn't get history as a yute. It was a bunch of disconnected dates and places and kings and wars and stuff. Now I'm a rabid fan of history and it's almost all I read. Because now I see a flow, I see patterns, I see that events don't stand on their own but are outcomes of things that have been brewing.
The thing I read (I think it was a NYT thing from the 80s) said that youthful brains don't make the connection between historical events and it's only mature brains that see the patterns.

RE: "Hitler as house painter"
I would describe that as a rumor. There are no first-hand accounts of it.
The wartime OSS made one offhand reference to it, without citing a source.
As an architectural painter... well, I sure as hell couldn't draw like that. His interest in architecture first brought Speer to his attention.

I swear, it's like two movies stitched together.
The first half is a mystery with supernatural or religious overtones (I think it was piggybacking on Catholic-sploitation or off the success of the Exorcist).
Then there's a plot twist involving aliens and the second half of the movie is just crap where the events of the first half of the movie are seemingly forgotten.
I HOPE there is a good story behind the making of that crap fest.
Watch 'Frailty' instead, which has similar premises but has the focus and the courage to take the plot seriously and see it through. Fuck, 'The Servants of the Twilight' did this story better.

That movie was heavily suppressed for 20 years or so, because it came out right about the same time as Kennedy was assassinated. And the entire plot, that the assassin was a commie agent working on behalf of highly placed elements of the US Government, made a whole lot of people very nervous.

When I was young I thought that we had outgrown all of that bad history stuff and had it all figured out. No more Nazis, no more depressions, no more commies, no more Al Capones or John Dillingers. The answer was peace and love and the Holy Four, John, Paul, George and Ringo, were leading us to the new utopia. Although I didn't think of it in these terms, I basically thought we had defeated original sin.
I may have been in error.

Actually the first Wicker Man is one of my favorite Cult Movies of all time - it's wonderful! Christopher Lee is marvelous as Lord Summer Isle. He also did an interview once where he related that the version that we have is a very chopped down cut due to studio incompetence (long story) At least 45 minutes of the original has been lost forever.
