It was common to paint subjects in isolation, on an empty or near empty black background, like in this painting. But they also, you know, portrayed the faces. And the painting style then was quite different, especially in terms of color... It's just weird. I don't get it.

Despite the very plain 'portrait' here, I find it intriguing. I like art that invites the viewer to imagine a story based on the image. Probably why I enjoy book illustrations so much. In this case perhaps a story could go: "Alicia hesitated for a moment before entering the room, torn between her curiosity and fear. The man her father had chosen to be her husband, a man she had never seen, was on the other side of the curtain. What would he be like? Would he be kind? And what of her dreams of a life with Raoul, the farrier?"
Yeah, I need more coffee.

If your goal is lightsabers within the first 30 seconds and then constantly throughout the headache-inducing CGI action everywhere on the screen at all times movie of diversity hires and cameos, sure.
But I bet five or six storytellers with $10M each and no name talented and/or beautiful (hopefully both) actors from local talent could make an entire season of interesting stories people would actually be interested in watching.

I forget where I read it, perhaps in one of Robert Ruark's novels about Africa, but "wog" was supposed to be an acronym for "Worthy Oriental Gentleman." An early form of political correctness, I guess, also rejected by everyday people even at the time.

Valliant Renegade theorizes that it is actually Lucas' wife (25 yrs his junior) that is pulling his strings/managing his affairs. Jamie Dimon (CEO of Chase) endorsed Iger, and six days later Lucas does. Lucas' wife sits on the board if Chase.

I always enjoy this because it only increases the chances of urban men being shot. Women aren't going to wrestle with criminals. They can't. They will go straight to the taser or, more likely, firearm because there isn't another choice and there is no repercussion since they are smaller and weaker.

Some years back I ran the quality control lab for an aerospace company. There were 20-30 people working for me. With my other duties, such as writing QC inspection procedures and inspections, I couldn't actually properly supervise the lab. I was given permission to hire 2 assistants from people already in the company. I devised a basic skills test for the applicants. I got a lot of shit from unskilled and unqualified "senior" employees who wanted the job. However, I gave the job to the 2 high scoring guys. I walked through the lab twice a day, otherwise it was their baby to operate as they wished. I never had a moment's problem out of them, and complaints about the lab from production supervisors disappeared. No DIE was involved.

I always enjoy this because it only increases the chances of urban men being shot. Women aren't going to wrestle with criminals. They can't. They will go straight to the taser or, more likely, firearm because there isn't another choice and there is no repercussion since they are smaller and weaker.

I didn't remember her so I looked it up. She didn't go for her pistol, which was likely the problem. She was trying to get her taser and shot him accidentally instead. I mean shooting men on purpose since the women are smaller and weaker.
Also Ms. Chauvin didn't stand a chance:
"Potter killed Wright after a traffic stop in April 2021. The shooting happened as Derek Chauvin was on trial in Minneapolis on murder charges in George Floyd's killing. Wright's death sparked several days of protests. "

SAPD Chief William McManus (he may be long gone at this point) once whined on local S.A. media that doing anything about illegal aliens made his job harder for much the same reason. I don’t know about you but nothing reinforces my faith in the police like their willingness to pick and choose what laws they will enforce, and pledging loyalty to the Constitution while believing themselves to be completely above that.

The biggest ballache that I have is that I should, by rights, support the police. But I have run into too many assholes in uniform and see too much unwillingness for them to do their jobs for me to do anything other than to have severe mistrust in them. And they brought that shit on themselves. I have little sympathy for them for the most part.
Except in places like NYC, where even the best, most professional people (and I know they are out there) are routinely fucked by soft on crime DAs and judges. If they are going to bust their asses to bring in a gangbanger only for the system to turn them loose hours later? I get it. What’s the point then?

NEW — Billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz plans to support Trump, cites worry over rising US immigration under Biden
Billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz intends to cast his vote for Donald Trump, expressing apprehension about President Biden’s mental state, which he described as “really scary,” as per FT’s report on Tuesday.
Peltz, who shares the same age as Biden at 81, prioritized concerns about Biden’s mental fitness over any misgivings he may have about Trump’s involvement in the January 6 attacks on the US Capitol.
“It will probably be Trump and I’m not happy about that,” he remarked to the Financial Times during an interview in Palm Beach, Florida, referring to the 77-year-old GOP frontrunner.
The founder of the $10 billion investment firm Trian Partners also highlighted his worries about the immigration crisis under Biden, stating that the nation was “degrading.”
Although Peltz may lean towards voting for Trump, he has not yet determined whether he will provide financial support for the former president.
He also told the outlet that he hasn’t spoken to Trump, who is his neighbor in Palm Beach, “in quite a while.”

Last night, we watched "Heaven's Gate" on Criterion. It's still not a good movie but it's probably the most beautiful movie you'll ever see with some wonderful set pieces. HG is also badly miscast with Kris Kristofferson being the main offender.
The big failing however is in the writing. HG begins with a beautiful, almost fairytale-like graduation of the rich and powerful at Harvard, where we learn nothing about the main characters, then "20 Years Later" flashes onscreen and we're with those same and more main characters with no reason for the change.
However, you can see what Cimino is trying say in his stew of soap-opera, abused immigrants, the power of Our Betters to get whatever they want because- and here's where modern times step up to the plate- even the law is on their side, Our Betters would still rather just kill the opposition or drive them out of society because the law is just too lenient and slow on these deplorables. Sound familiar?
Made in 1980, this was probably just another antiAmerican screed but, perceptions change.

Global temperatures “smashed” heat records last year, as heatwaves stalked oceans and glaciers suffered record ice loss, the United Nations said Tuesday — warning 2024 was likely to be even hotter.
The annual State of the Climate report by the UN weather and climate agency confirmed preliminary data showing 2023 was by far the hottest year ever recorded.
And last year capped off “the warmest 10-year period on record”, the World Meteorological Organization said, with even hotter temperatures expected.
“There is a high probability that 2024 will again break the record of 2023”, WMO climate monitoring chief Omar Baddour told reporters.
Reacting to the report, UN chief Antonio Guterres said it showed “a planet on the brink”.
“Earth’s issuing a distress call,” he said in a video message, pointing out that “fossil fuel pollution is sending climate chaos off the charts”, and warning that “changes are speeding up”.
The WMO said that last year the average near-surface temperature was 1.45 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — dangerously close to the critical 1.5-degree threshold that countries agreed to avoid passing in the 2015 Paris climate accords.

A consummate eclectic, Chase borrowed freely from old masters such as Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Diego Velázquez, and from contemporaries such as Édouard Manet, James McNeill Whistler, and John Singer Sargent. Here, he refers in the title of his painting to tradition, but shows a woman dressed in modern attire. She is seen from behind in a dark, ambiguous setting that is pierced by a sliver of light that suggests a slightly opened door. Uninterested in his model's particular identity, Chase calls attention to her gown, which he describes with expressive brushwork and subtle tones of white. Chase had painted a full-length portrait of his wife entitled Lady in White (1894; private collection), of which a critic observed when it appeared at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts: "It is little more than a study of a white satin dress against a dark background, for her face is turned from the spectator." The same could be said for this painting.
Thanks! Admire all of Chase's work but probably wouldn't hang this piece.

Vietnam’s President Vo Van Thuong has resigned after just one year in the job, state media announced Wednesday, as the communist country mounts a sweeping anti-graft purge.
The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) said Thuong was guilty of “violations and shortcomings” and his resignation was accepted by the party’s central committee.
The 53-year-old’s dramatic fall comes as Vietnam undergoes major political upheaval, with his predecessor also forced out in an anti-corruption drive that has seen several ministers fired and top business leaders tried for fraud.
VNA said Thuong had violated unspecified “regulations” and failed to set a proper example as head of state.
While the president is head of state, real power is seen to lie with party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, who is regarded as the architect behind the anti-corruption drive, which has proved popular among the Vietnamese public.

Ah, yes. A well-worn story. Bring out the "anti-corruption" brigades to purge internal Party enemies while doing nothing about corruption as such. Be as corrupt as you'd like, so long as you're aligned properly.
Xi has been doing this for about a decade now. "Anti-corruption" activities are Party purges, nothing more. I guess Thuong and his faction crossed the other Party power players or have policies that the Party fears. I dunno which. It doesn't matter. These actions are all the same, and are always about Party power struggle.

The most deranged thing I have probably ever heard in my life came out of her mouth -
"Jesus Christ wasnt a Christian, so when he said that, he wasn't talking about Christians. People made that up."
Where can you even go with that? Why would you?
I did let her know that Jesus in fact *told* people he was coming back before he did, so I'm pretty certain he knew he wasn't merely some plain old regular Jew.
These are the people we are up against. They are mentally sick and twisted beyond repair.

I always enjoy this because it only increases the chances of urban men being shot. Women aren't going to wrestle with criminals. They can't. They will go straight to the taser or, more likely, firearm because there isn't another choice and there is no repercussion since they are smaller and weaker.

BREAKING: Leo Varadkar to step down as Ireland's Prime Minister and party leader - Irish media
NYT, 2 days ago, Biden and Irish Leader Use St. Patrick's Day Visit to Address Gaza. So he hangs out with the Biden and then resigns, again? Very odd.

Aljazeera, Feb 21, 2020: In part, "Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar resigned on Thursday but stayed on as interim leader while the country’s three main parties battle out coalition talks after an inconclusive election.
Varadkar, Ireland’s first openly gay leader, tendered his resignation as Taoiseach, or prime minister, to President Michael Higgins after the first sitting of Ireland‘s lower house of Parliament since a February 8 election which radically recast the political landscape."
