72 Love this painting. My artistic mentor, the painter Ellie Siskind, was huge on curtains and sheets and folds of all kinds as a study subject, mainly because of their utility in the study of shading and color values. Da Vinci spent countless hours on such studies. In this painting, the sense of flowing movement and the variations in form create a lighter-than-air sensation that just, well, sends me. Would love to see this painting itself, up close and personal.

123 I was playing around with the electoral map at 270 to win. take 2020 map, flip AZ, GA and NV to Trump as well as the 1 vote in NE that went to Biden.

Result is a 269 tie.

Which would be fucking wild. House decides the presidency.

We know Thy ways are true —
In spite of being broken,
Because of being broken,
May rise and build anew,
Stand up and build anew!

His assessment was that it would start with one girl who didn't want to put her delicate butts on a public toilet seat, and so would squat above the bowl and then everything gets everywhere. One lady sets off a chain reaction of horror, compounding the problem with every additional user.

Their whole ideology is really about power and using it against other people.

328 Regarding the Baltimore ship bridge strike and collapse:

1. The ship was transiting during slack tide on the ebb, which is the time when tidal currents are minimum as the harbor goes from ebb to flood. Going out as low tide is preferable for ships with high "air draft" clearances under bridges.

2. A ship over 900 feet should have had at least two escort tugs to assist the ship in case of emergency, especially if it is transiting under a bridge. Even if the ship lost power, the assist tugs could keep the ship in the channel.

3. The pilots should have been able to talk to the assist tugs even if they lost power because they should have had secondary handheld radios.

4. The only reason the ship may not have had assist tugs is if the Captain of the Port (USCG) waived that requirement. If he is confident that the weather, tides, currents and ship's ability to maneuver (bow thrusters, for example), he can grant a waiver.

There should be digital tapes of the radio comms with the Vessel Traffic Service for the area. I would be interested to see what the pilots told the tugs and the VTS watchstanders.

In the long version of the clip I saw on Fox this morning you can see 3 semis crossing the bridge right before the collapse. Those guys need to pull over and buy Powerball tickets.

I do suspect the bridge being under construction when the hit happened is probably going to turn out to be relevant.

367 The Harbor Master tugs used to dock at Fells Point. Those were some incredibly powerful ships. You could feel the power from the engines when they were docking and moving around. I had a acquaintance that worked one of the tugs on occasion and there was no funny business going on at all, at least at the time which was a decade ago. They used to pee test everyone back then.

A post 9/11 Hoover ram was closed to trucks which required an extra 2 hours of driving each way. And that lasted for several years until a bridge was built. And there have been other bridges collapse, causing detours. There was one about 10 years ago in Washington where I-5 was closed. Traffic was diverted and life went on.

American rapper Diddy has reportedly left the United States on his private jet, a Gulfstream G550 N1969 / SIS69 which took off earlier today from Van Nuys Airport near Los Angeles shortly before the raid on his home. The private jet has been tracked to the Caribbean islands after raids on Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami in relation to a sex trafficking investigation. Flight tracking data indicates that the jet appeared to land on Antigua in the Caribbean. It is currently unknown whether Diddy is actually on the plane or not

Which will ripple because ships are trapped in the harbor, ships that cost money and sitting generates no revenue. And those ships who were supposed to dock in Baltimore now have to find somewhere else to off-load and on-load. And then have to ship that cargo.

417 "Drapery Paintings" by David Ligare at Winfield Gallery, Carmel, California, May 2023.

In part, "Ligare’s first exhibition of the thrown drapery paintings was in New York in 1978. The paintings consisted of a piece of white cloth thrown into the air, captured with a camera and then redrawn on the canvas to conform to a geometrical structure. The paintings represented the Classical balance between the ordered and the chaotic. Poet and critic, Peter Clothier, wrote in the 1978 catalogue that, “If the work reaches for a new “Classicism”, then, it does not fail to account for the contemporary mind’s conditioning by twentieth century concepts and technology. The archetype is recontexturalized, without losing any of its ancient values.”

No, wouldn't hang this one but it's a smart concept to keep the artist both in vogue & S. Thanks.

IIRC the FNM claimed that Gaetz was sex trafficking because he flew a date on his private jet.

And then they argued he wasn't even going to marry the woman he was seducing with his big...wallet...and therefore should be arrested for rape or something.

If you looked, there’s likely only a handful of bridges over shipping lanes that could handle losing the whole pier and still stand up. Reason being, bridges are expensive, bridges over deep water are even more expensive. Redundancy is just not built into these.
