I got nothin'. Per the cursory web search, this is "Domḗnikos Theotokópoulos" - also known as El Greco. It is much clearer in Latin letters
Here's the funny thing. This comment had the artist's name quoted with Greek letters and the comment got rejected as spam with: Your message has been rejected because long strings of unbroken text are very annoying. Use the space bar or tinyurl.com as appropriate. My bet is that it's being expanded to Unicode notation when posted and so appeared to be probably 50+ characters long, triggering the spam filter. This bug would only effect foreign alphabet letters or letters with diacritics, and thus the bug - and by extension the blog - is obviously dangerously jingoist.

Covarrubias appears to mean something like "the cove of the blondes". Like the "party coves" found on some large lakes, I reckon.

Chef Boyardee was founded by Italian immigrant Hector Boiardi in Milton, Pennsylvania, U.S., in 1928. Can anyone tell me why Italians would buy spaghetti in a can?
It’s an interesting story actually. He had a popular restaurant and people frequently asked for his sauces and what not to use at home. He went on to develop a take home “Dinner for Two” dish that was extremely successful. And more profitable. So he sidelined the restaurant biz and ramped up mass production. He changed the spelling of his name because he wanted people to pronounce it correctly. Then WW II hit and he turned his factory to produce food for the troops. Eventually he sold to Big Food Company. Posted by: TheMitch at July 29, 2022 10:25 AM (N5Npe) Posted by: andycanuck (yikp0) at July 29, 2022 10:25 AM (yikp0) 230

"Covarrubias": Othere have gotten it, but "rubio/rubia" definitely means "blond/blonde." Generally in Romance languages, though, the word "red" is translated with a word beginning with "r" itself, so you'd think "rubia" would mean "redhead."

Voiced "th" is like the sound in "this," "that," etc. If you put a finger on your voice box while you say the word aloud, you'll feel the buzzing -- the larynx is involved. Indian subcontinent languages I've heard voice nearly every sound; it must be wearing.

Posted by: andycanuck *** Not a diphtong.

But when you tell an English speaker the name Dimos (for example) is with the Delta "th" sound they don't get the distinction.

ignore my question!
Posted by: LASue Sorry didn't mean to ignore your question. The Greek letter Delta is not pronounced with the English "D" sound in Greek. It is a "th" sound, but different from the "th" sound used for the Greek letter Theta. It is "thelta" (tongue at roof of mouth); and "theta" (tongue between teeth). That is the best way I can explain it without "speaking" it for you. But trust me, I've tried. I can clearly hear the difference but most English speakers cannot. And, honestly, I don't think it is a huge deal, which is why I went with "De-me-ni-kos" to explain how to pronounce Δομήνικος Posted by: Ultra MAGA Venus at July 29, 2022 10:47 AM (YVBLw) 309

Somehow, someway, Joe Biden is back in the game.
I mean, how do you even guess at this? What has taken place to make someone speculate that this is the case? This reminds me of the endless summers of recovery that were promised by the press and never came about for the Obama administration.

RedState article about the Congressional baseball game yesterday. Female Democrat Rep. flipped off the Republican bench while walking back to her dugout. What a typical nasty piece of Democrat filth. This game raises money for childrens charities.

For the last couple weeks, 50% of my YouTube commercials have been for Jeremy's Razors. Yep, Jeremy Boring and Ben Shapiro will piss away money on over produced commercials for gimmick products and pay Goggle to air them. While pretending to be anti-big tech.

Slight correction, Wolfus. The larynx is involved in the production of every speech sound. It’s the involvement of the vocal cords that matters — no involvement with voiceless sounds, involvement with voiced ones.

Speaking of Camera #4:
A couple of friends invited us over for lunch a few months back, and were showing off their security system (I think it was from SimpliSafe) since they had been alerted to our walking up the driveway. They showed us their myriad of camera videos on their phones (including us sitting there in their living room chatting), and that it was all being recorded "in the cloud" so they could have remote access if not home or traveling. Needless to say, we were pretty creeped-out about having our entire visit recorded for future access by Bob from the Ministry of Truth (formerly NSA).
