67 You young gamblers think you're all that. Oooh. So rebellious. Playing cards at such a youthful age. Mom and dad are going to be pissed.

Well, that's not all they have to worry about. This is a tough life, kids. One day, you're going to face *me* across that table. What are you going to do then? I'll tell you what you're going to to do then.

First, you will gulp nervously. Then, you will think this can't really be any different. You'll convince yourself that this is just like the little games of your youth - the ruleless games and the games without discipline. Then you will allow your self-deceit to encourage you to try your old tricks. Then I am going to catch you getting cute with the game, trying shit you shouldn't. Then you will cower. Then you will scream as I rip your arms off as punishment. Then you will die.

So think carefully about whether this is a road you want to go down. I might look cute with my cards and my cigar and my drink, but I will dismember you with glee for trying childish shit at my table. You may be small - or as French fags like you put it, petit - but your courage had better be fuckin' enorme if you want to sit at my table, boy.

This sound film lost its sound track, though. They tried to do the sound on disc thing (essentially a record to play alongside the film), and the disc was either lost or rotted away.

132 This is one of those paintings that I find more interesting to examine than the scene itself. The use of light and shadow, the very different poses of the boys and each boy with their own distinct faces and clothing reminds me of Rembrandt. The way the light slants in highlighting the boy's white shirt, the red cloak and the other small bright spots makes a nice contrast with the shadowy room. It makes me think the boys shouldn't be gambling (bad enough) and should be doing chores. The realism of the figures and the sparse furniture makes the painting mire effective.

It also reminds me of some of the Dutch paintings that depict common life.

By early 1650, it had become obvious that Rene and Christina did not like each other, so this was not some secret, illicit romance. Then RD caught the "noo-mony" and died.

She's kinda charming, believe it or not, as a Soviet commissar in Ninotchka. That's the movie that was advertised with the tagline, "Garbo Laughs!"

Ian Fleming probably thought GG was attractive at least. Part of his description of Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love includes a moment where she remembers a former lover telling her she looked like Garbo, and TR is flattered and makes a point of playing up the resemblance. (As much as she can in post-Stalinist Russia, that is.)

IT ISN’T JUST SAN FRANCISCO: Blackstone is desperately trying to shift Manhattan office tower at HALF price after 26-storey building’s value tumbled from $605MILLION to $150MILLION....
Blackstone bought the 600,000-square-foot property between 55th and 56th streets from real-estate investment trust Vornado with a $308million mortgage and began a major re-fit of the historic building.

It stopped paying the mortgage in March 2022 and occupancy had fallen to an eye-watering 7.4 percent by September of last year.

That’s a 7.4 occupancy rate, not a vacancy rate.

Royal Collection Trust, The three Le Nain brothers (17th Century)

In part, "Antoine, Louis and Mathieu - were born in Laon and by 1629 had settled permanently in Paris, where they became founding members of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1648. Despite gaining respect in their own day for paintings of religious and mythological subjects, as well as portraits, they are best known for their dignified pictures of peasant life. Although the popularity of the Le Nain brothers waned during the eighteenth century, their distinctive style has appealed to modern taste, possibly owing to the interest shown in similar subjects by nineteenth-century French artists such as Manet."

273 (The Daily Sceptic) — The dramatic, if largely unpublicized, recovery in Arctic sea ice is continuing into the New Year. Despite the contestable claims of the “hottest year ever” (and even hotter in 2024), Arctic sea ice on January 8th stood at its highest level in 21 years. Last December, the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) revealed that sea ice recorded its third-highest monthly gain in the modern 45-year record. According to the science blog No Tricks Zone, the reading up to January 8th has now far exceeded the average for the years 2011-2020. It also exceeds the average for the years 2001-2010, and points directly upwards with regard to the average for the years 1991-2000.

A few days ago, Khaled Mashal, a senior member of Hamas who is hiding in Turkey, gave this interview and that's what he said:

“For anyone who supports a two-state solution, we want ONE state. We will have no choice but to accept the two-state solution temporarily so we can prepare for the big war; we will not accept any compromises; we demand a state from the border with Lebanon to the border with Egypt.”

Here you go, he said it clearly (like we didn't know): the destruction of the state of Israel and the extermination of all Jews in Israel. Beleve them when they tell you who they are and their plan. Biden and Blinken are total idiots.

I remember looking at the Philly city results one presidential year and there were an absurd number of precincts were 100% of the votes were for the Dem candidate.

Note not just none for the R....there were no votes for the Greens, Libertarians, write ins or even the Free Drugs party running that year.

And at that point I realized that inner city vote results are completely manufactured.

It's funny because. Years ago, Austria got caught with some adulterated sweet white wine (I know, I know) that was adjudged unfit for human consumption. It would have been an industry-ender.

So the government bought it up and used it to de-ice the roads. It was the most Austrian thing I read that decade.

Now, there are a lot of Hispanics, Asians, and non-dutch reformed honkeys like me.

406 Therefore, in conclusion, I would like to leave a message for all business people here and those who are not here in person but are following from around the world.

Do not be intimidated by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges. You are social benefactors. You are heroes. You are the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we’ve ever seen.

Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral. If you make money, it’s because you offer a better product at a better price, thereby contributing to general well being.

Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story and rest assured that as from today, Argentina is your staunch and unconditional ally.

Thank you very much and long live freedom!
