The furious emperor condemned Catherine to death on a spiked breaking wheel, but, at her touch, it shattered. Maxentius ordered her to be beheaded. Catherine herself ordered the execution to commence. A milk-like substance rather than blood flowed from her neck.

I'd sharpen that sword before I tried to chop that neck. Wood dulls and edge like nothing else. Well except for the spinal column around the neck area. C6 I think?
What did she do? She isn't the Horse Catherine is she?
I mean that horse to her left and behind seems to be quite shocked about what's about to happen. Like maybe it's got a REASON be be upset?
I wonder how many socks that guy loaded up his cod piece with this morning. Or is he just glad to chop a young girls neck like some men do?

We use to go out on the weekends and we'd drink 'til we drowned
But now she's acting funny and I don't understand
I think that she's found her some other man
She left me for Jesus and that just ain't fair
She says that He's perfect, how could I compare?
She says I should find Him and I'll know peace at last
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kicking His ass

Why to painters always miss the details of life? Every see a painting with a horse in it and no horse shit to be seen anywhere?
I mean one of the major reasons we switched from horses to engines so quickly was the damn horse shit. Except for farmers. They liked horse shit so it didn't matter to them but even so it's a pain to deal with. And don't forget the pissing too. Makes a nice slippery muck on top of roads that are mud in the first place.
Just like they don't paint people shitting or pissing. What's with the utopian view of painters? Get some realism in there.

That's also Catherine. That's the first part of her torture. Medieval and early Renaissance artists often put several scenes of the same story into one painting. They were trying to tell a story.

Catherine was first put to the breaking wheel to force her to renounce her faith; as the story goes, she touched the wheel and destroyed it. Maxentius then had her beheaded.

Can't happen. Even if they wanted to, they can't do it. To get inflation moderation by summer, they would have had to start in earnest no later than Autumn of last year *and* get lucky. They didn't. At that time, they were still talking about how inflation would be transient. They can't do squat in time for campaign season even if they wanted to.

Northern Renaissance artists really like to show off their skill and imagination. While the main scene is large, front and center, the background has stuff going on too. And many times they're never related to the main theme. They're just people doing things while chaos is erupting in the foreground. The details in the landscapes and cityscapes are superb too.
And then oil painting was developed...

In the version of "Gallows Pole" ("Gallis Pole") recorded by Lead Belly, in the final verses the condemned man's sister offers herself to the executioner in lieu of the silver and gold she doesn't have. The hangman takes advantage of the offer, then hangs the condemned man anyway.

In an episode of The Next Generation, Picard is captured by Cardassians and tortured. As kind of a "test" that he's been broken, the Cardassians shine 4 bright lights at him, but insist there are five, and they keep trying to get Picard to admit to such.
At the end, when he is released/rescued, he turns to the guy and shouts "THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS". He later admits to Troi later that, at the end, he thought he could see five lights.

But for political gain, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is trying to blame grocery stores for high prices. On January 7, Warren tweeted a video clip from her appearance on MSNBC last week.
"What happens," she asked, when "grocery store chains like Kroger dominate an industry? They can force high food prices onto Americans while raking in record profits." She called for the use of the government's antitrust power to "break up" grocery chains like Kroger.||

There's an in-joke about it in Bride of Frankenstein. Pretorius the creepy guy has created mini-life, little simulacra of humans in tall cylinders. One of them is dressed and looks much like Laughton as Henry, and in fact the mini-king tries to get out and climb into the cylinder holding a pretty princess.
The gag? Laughton was then married to Elsa Lanchester, who plays Mary Shelley and the Bride creature in the film.

Never take counsel of your fears. Have patience and wait for them to show up in their own time and place.
You'll be surprised how often stuff doesn't happen or happen differently than you expected or that your decision is different due to circumstances NOW than from earlier.
Patience is one of the most difficult trait to learn but it pays off every day. It makes one more calm and allows one the time to really think about things. And like I said; lots of surprises.

Added a bit of emphasis to that.
Agree? Based on what? By what standard? Agreement is a consensual act. I cannot "agree" with you at the point of a gun of the penalty to disagreement is that my freedom or life are destroyed. That isn't agreement, that's coercion.
Agreement requires, well, agreement. So convince me to agree with you. State your case. Show your evidence. Define your standards. Do it, Kamala. Tell me in any manner you like - precise or general, so long as it involves objective facts - why I should agree with you that our current response is the best one or even a good one. Convince me.

Yes, you're correct. I was referring to the stretch of time we spend here on Earth. We're born and we live and then we die but we do not usually know the time or means of our death. My point was as in a undefined journey when it is over one can feel relief that that time/event is now over and other events can begin. Plus as I said life is not really much fun. And since I'm assured of a more pleasant time afterward I'll be quite happy that it's over. A melancholic happy but still a relief. Imagine how a prisoner feels that has done their time and they're walking out the front gate.

Robert Graves' specialty with his historic novels was trying to adapt the idiom of the period. I think he was most successful with his Greek and Roman stories. His more modern ones like Wife To Mr. Milton and Sergeant Lamb's America are interesting but not as satisfying.

Right. Thus my response. They're working as fast as possible to just jump right to the end stage. They can't fix any problems, they won't cede any authority, they can't win honestly. They can neither forward nor backward.

Oh, don't think the GOP isn't actively colluding behind the scenes to get this sort of thing passed. They see it as the easiest way to get rid of "troublemakers" like MTG and annoying loudmouths like Cruz and Paul.
But of course, once the "enemy of the state" label is hung on Romney or Rubio, then they might wake up, but of course, it will be too late.
Frankly, I hope the Dems do have the stones and the votes to make the GOP an illegal, proscribed party. It needs to die, the sooner the better. Fuck Team Red and fuck the "Red Wave."

Grocery stores have already closed in CA. Stores that weren't really making any money starting getting robbed because there's no penalty for theft in CA, so the chains shut down those stores.

The advice from the employment lawyers to the employers seems to be. Figure out how many exceptions for whatever reason are being sought. If there is only a couple accomodate them all. If there are a lot, fire everybody. Otherwise you'll run the risk of looking like you are playing favorites, and it will be a production nightmare to accomodate a lot of people.

That Red Wave may not take place. Ten months is still an exceptionally long time in politics, and if Moronic makes C-19 officially endemic, a lot can change. In the meantime, the Republicans are playing prevent offense. They hope that the Dems will still mismanage inflation and the supply-chain (Narrator: they will), but that might not be enough. Especially if folks like Cruz continue to make bonehead moves that depress the base.

Roberts will try to bend over backwards to achieve some kind of consensus or buy-in from the liberal bench.
Best possible outcome is that Kavanaugh (and likley a 5-person majority) use the case to hammer against administrative agency overreach. Not just granting the injunction against the OSHA rule, but using it to curb agency power.
We'll see.
