Erasmus and Thomas More were very good friends.

------------------

The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all this. I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage was lawful or not but - dammit, Thomas, look at these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship!

More: And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?

47 I was never a fan. Folly is pretty dull, much worse than More's Utopia*. And exchange of letters with Luther was a big disappointment. Neither ever really engaged with the serious issues (which ARE serious), but each seemed more interested in playing gotcha.

Maybe a great scholar, not a great mind.

* There's a famous portrait of More which has virtually the same pose, and the almost the same clothing.

56 He nailed it on Politicians

Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people's advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.

58 I've mentioned this before, but in regard to Erasmus, a lovely book to read is Van Loon's Lives from 1942. The conceit of the book is that Van Loon and a friend decide which historical person or persons they would like to invite to dinner and, with the help of Erasmus, entertain such notables as Napoleon, da Vinci, Empress Theodora, Elizabeth I and so on.

89 Holbein is incredible. He brings accuracy and detail to his portraits. Look at the texture of the fur pieces. I get the impression he does not romanticize the subject but shows them as they are. His use of color doesn't involve spots of brilliance but a realistic use of natural tones. He lets the power of the image draw the viewer. I wonder if he was an influence on Rembrandt.

The Wiki page for Holbein show some of his sketches in pen and ink or chalk. Remarkable.

That wasn't the truth, so it didn't hurt. He was a Dutch scholar, classisist, monk and priest. and a friend of Sir Thomas More Now it's possible that he didn't follow his vows, but I did he was guilty of what you charge him with and has a odd obsession with race and slavery. Are you trying to ape BLM or what?

103 Whatever happened to Hans Holbein the Elder?

He fell into obscurity writing grifting at the Bullwork.

104 Since the Bat Signal for Pedantry has gone up: The Greek means "the labors of Hercules". PONOI are 'toils', 'labors', 'work' (plural). HERAKLEIOI (there's an omicron behind the ribbon) is the adjective of the name Herakles (Greek) or Hercules (Latin), so literally "Heraklean/Herculean labors". It's not that Erasmus wrote about Herakles particularly, though I'm sure he mentioned him. The point is that he not only wrote well, he wrote a lot: the University of Toronto edition of his Collected Works runs to 89 volumes, and it's just the English translation without the Latin, except the volume of his poetry, where they give both on facing pages. (They say 89 volumes, but the poetry is volume 85, notes on the poems volume 86, but bound together in one volume. Yes, I just happened to have it on my desk today. No, I don't own most of the other volumes, and wouldn't have any of them if they hadn't had a half-price sale last year.) Sorry you asked? His most-read work is The Praise of Folly.

135 "Here is the take on the autonomous zone from a seattle paper:

"By early Tuesday, demonstrators had established a perimeter with

improvised barriers and deputized scouts. In the afternoon, the "No Cop

Co-Op" popped up, slinging kebabs, snacks, and free water to passersby.

A teach-in square was established at the intersection of 12th and Pine.

Tents were pitched near the precinct, where people were encouraged to

stay throughout the night, or even just for two or three hours to hold

the space. And by nightfall, they'd even built their own outdoor cinema."

Not the people up the road from me. They have a sign with various virtue signaling quotes and a black and rainbow theme and several of the quotes are:

Black Lives Matter

Love is love

and we believe in Science.

Also a house the next town over has a big Snoopy with Snoopy holding a rainbow flag.
I never realized the Snoopy was gay but he's more than a bit down now The balloon fell over and Snoopy is on his back.

I have a to say-and I'm biased here-I prefer people who make their own signs-rather than these store bought ones.

They both said they'd refused, without prompting. I told them the pressure is likely to be intense, and they both said they'd still refuse. The oldest said "I have more self-respect than that, and I haven't done anything wrong. I wouldn't ask them to kneel for anything, and they shouldn't be asking me."

Then the younger said, "If they push me, can I fight them?"

I laughed and gave the standard answer - yes, but only to stop them or to get away, and make sure one of your friends is filming how it started.

I assured them that whatever happens, I will go to war to defend them if I have to, whether that's from a teacher or a student.

how does one go about "hiring" Kaepernick? Maybe the NFL will have to start their own team of players society demands they hire.
And if a team hires him, does he have to start? Can they cut him for poor performance?

281 227 I honestly don't understand the demand to end racism. It's WAAAAAY to profitable for the race baiting black 'leaders.'
_______________

Don't worry, where racism doesn't exist, they'll just invent some.

Been happening for decades now. As the U.S. became less racist than ever before, blacks and their lefty allies started inventing incidents of faux racism -- nooses left on college doors, white supremacy slogans spray painted on stuff, etc., and always the perpetrator was either a black person or a lefty radical "trying to draw attention to racism" by making some up where none actually existed.

It's like now with all the b.s. about our horribly raaaaaacist justice system, where whites are injured or killed by cops at a higher rate than blacks are, according to FBI crime statistics. We have to stop this non-existent systemic raaaaacism before more blacks die! They're being hunted down in the streets! At least, that what the MSM and social media all say, so it must be true!!!

He's the one that fired himself. He held out on the remainder of his contract and demanded more money. They said no. He was cut and became a free agent because of his refusal to play.

He brought his unemployment in the league on himself.

He hates cops and hates white people. He's now more profitable with MUCH less risk to his physical being.

288 So is it a shade thing? Like is there an official color scale? What if you have dark skin but your eyes look more like chinese eyes. Those eyes typically belong to much whiter people but you have dark skin. Do you get more privilege or less if you have some white ancestry, even if that "white" ancestry is Chinese? I would think you'd get more because you're not Caucasian but maybe not. Maybe anything non-black is bad and Chinese is definitely not black.

What if there's two guys right in the middle. Perfectly between white and black. Both of them are from the Kashmir region of Pakistan. One becomes a cop, the other becomes a drug dealer. The cop shoots the drug dealer just fucking because, I guess we have to have an anti-cop rally but how can we have an anti-cop rally if we don't know whether the cop or the perp are white or black?

We certainly don't want to rally AGAINST a black cop shooting an innocent white person! Because blm. But we don't want to seem pro-cop if the perp was actually black (but nobody's really sure).

What if one of them was a trans? But aren't we always supposed to be anti-cop? What about racist black cops who go out of their way to fuck with non-black minorities and white people? They specifically leave black people alone, so that's not exactly bad, but they harass everybody else! Are we supposed to come out and deal with this racist black cop?

What if Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods (both biracial) got into a fight? Jeters mom is white so I think you have to give the edge to Tiger because his mom is Asian.

I've said it before but it bears repeating, Trump has absolutely crushed turnout numbers in every single primary for an incumbent President this year.


In some cases he has doubled and once even tripled the numbers obama got in 2012.

In PA he got the most votes for an incumbent President in State history and did it in the middle of a pandemic with Nationwide lock downs and it looks like Georgia is going to turn out the same way.


Trump does not have to worry about turnout.

==========

"The Democratic Establishment is just interested in its own power, and that means maintaining the status quo. They're happy to watch black men die in the streets at the hand of racist cops as long as they can make some meaningless show in DC and still get your vote. They aren't dedicated to making fairness a true American ideal because that would undermine their ability to graft from the hard working every man and woman. They're in the bed of capitalists like Mark Zuckerberg who thinks it's more important to make Trump happy than ensure progressive ideals flow through the most powerful social media organization in the planet. The Democratic Establishment doesn't represent me, and I have no intention on voting for them ever."

373 Black people obviously outnumber a lot of other minorities in the United States. Therefore of they were in power they would oppress people with less of a voice.

The only solution is to give the group with the least voice the most power. I foresee this as being a group of one.

Figure out which races have the least members in the US. Then find a guy who has the most mixed ancestry of those races and zero mixed ancestry of the "oppressive" races of black and white.

Then make him dictator for life, just to see what happens.

Congratulations, Mr Raj Wilbert Haseen-Mohammed-Bergstein, plumber/part time exterminator from Daytona Beach, Florida, YOU are now DICTATOR FOR LIFE!!

Then all of the oppressor classes (everybody else) has to kneel to him and see what he does.

True enough:

https://wgntv.com/news/cardinal-removes-flag-burning-priest/

A Northwest Side priest has been removed about a week after he burned a rainbow flag outside his church.

Protesters had been demanding Cardnial Blase Cupich take action against the Rev. Paul Kalchik after he ignored the cardinal's warning and burned a rainbow flag with a cross on it on Sept. 14. Kalchik had been at Resurrection Church since 2007. Before he took over at Resurrection, the flag hung inside the church.

The priest told the Chicago Sun-Times he burned the flag because he did not "sit well" with Cupich who he said is trying to minimize the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal. Kalchick said he was sexually abused as a child and again at 19 by a priest, the Sun-Times said.

Cupich removed Kalchik from the church on Saturday and announced it in a letter to the parish. The letter was brief but said the cardnial was concerned about a number issues and, "it had become clear to me that Father Kalchik must take time away from the parish to receive pastoral support."

412 The sad thing is that Seattle, having voted for leftists and facing the consequences, will continue to vote for leftists.

Actually - it depends, and how it plays out will answer some interesting questions. If Mayor Jenny and Antifa are in on this together, and this is all just Cosplay to try and trick Trump into doing something stupid like send troops in, then yeah, as soon as that looks like it isn't working they'll get bored with it and try something else.

On the other hand, if Antifa is actually independent, they're going to see this as their new power base and they won't want to give up territory. So Mayor Jenny is going to have to fight them for it.

Right now I'd give each scenario a 50% probability.

Quick movie story:

Our Man in Havana was filmed in Cuba between the fall of the Batista regime and when Castro aligned with the USSR.

They approved filming because they were happy to see the Batista painted in a bad light, but the actual focus was the British Intelligence Service and the Batista aligned characters were more in the background.

Cuban officials were unhappy with the results because it didn't hit Batista hard enough.

522 If the media isn't covering it you know it isn't good for floyd.
__________________

It's not bad for Floyd, it just doesn't fit the left's narrative.

Floyd and Chauvin apparently butted heads at the nightclub where they both worked because Chauvin was overly aggressive with the customers. The owner (white or hispanic lady) said she found Chauvin was too willing to mace misbehaving patrons (of all colors), even when it wasn't justified. She also thought he was fearful of blacks, and used too much force to cover his fear. It sounds consistent with the other stuff we have read about Chauvin's police record -- the prior complaints about excessive use of force on arrestees. It appears the guy was just temperamentally unsuited to his job, which doesn't fit with the left's "all white cops are racist and Chauvin is a racist and that's why Floyd is dead" narrative.

Simple solution: they have established a perimeter. Very well, then let the cops enforce it. String out concertina wire and barricades all around the perimeter. Nothing gets out, nothing gets in. Where possible, shut off water, gas, and electricity to the area. Shut down the cell towers serving the area.

Wait. For as long as it takes.

530 This portrait has been headlining Chris Crawford's blog for the past 10-15 years.

Chris Crawford is a famous game designer who is famous for making the famous games Balance of Power and Balance of the Planet which everybody knows and plays since they came out in the 1980s. We know Chris Crawford is famous for this because he will tell you so.

Also, Chris Crawford is the grand master of interactive storytelling, and if you aren't listening to what Chris Crawford has to say on that topic you're just wrong, wrong, wrong. And if you notice that Chris Crawford's definition of interactivity is not interactive, or that Chris Crawford has no definition for storytelling, or that Chris Crawford does not know how to tell a story, or that Chris Crawford has failed to accomplish anything for the past thirty years, then you are also wrong wrong wrong. We know this because Chris Crawford will tell you so.

He lives in California.
