38 Sorry. This rendering feels very much like something done from memory or as an exercise. The scale feels off, the composition is meh, the waves are done in a very formulaic fashion, the ripples around the fisherman's legs are contrived, the lack of detail... Just not good.

52 Nat Gal Says

The yellow colours of the foaming waves in Toorop’s High Tide are strikingly similar to the yellows in Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, which he exhibited in the 1890 show. The rough application of paint and swift brushstrokes in High Tide reveal Toorop’s admiration for Van Gogh.

88 An interesting artist. This painting makes me think of Van Gogh with the strong brush work and distinct use of color and the pose of the working man. It's not something I would hang but it is interesting.

Toorop used a number of styles in his career. I especially enjoy his Pointilism and Impressionist style paintings. To my surprise, a couple of his works on the Wiki page reminded me of John Bauer's Swedish folklore illustrations. There is a creative and fanciful aspect to them.

The potential speakers declined for a variety of reasons, including an unwillingness to affiliate with Harvard during a year of controversy, scheduling conflicts, and high honorarium requests, according to Senior Class First Marshal Fez S. Zafar ’24.

"Only". Children, dead. Some starved to death. Others dying after excruciating pain from wounds.

One is too many. bombing kids is not a good strategy for the side that claims to be morally just.

Why did Hamas start this war? Put the blame where it belongs. Why doesn't Hamas surrender? Why aren't "Pro-Palestinian" partisans calling for Hamas to surrender?

So Israel could nuke gaza and it would be hamas's fault, no blame at all for Israel? No. Even if one side in a war didn't start it, they still cannot bomb kids.

I'm very grateful that Biden is president. I know he's doing everything he can to encourage a resolution. It's difficult when one side - Hamas - are sadistic terrorists who don't care how many innocent people they kill in their attempt to destroy Israel.

I had to look this up, because it seemed wrong. That's the height of Mount Scenery in the Caribbean Netherlands (the source I looked at says 2910 ft).

The highest point in the Netherlands proper is the Vaalserberg at just over 1000 ft.

I've been assuming - based on nothing, but wanted some kind of estimate - that Hamas was inflating counts by 100x and that the UN was inflating counts by 10x, with the super-inflated Hamas numbers providing context for the inflated UN numbers, and lending credibility to the UN numbers.

And now the UN admits to 2x and 3x multiples depending on demographic group. And that's just what they've admitted to so far.

But my question isn't "what is the real multiple," it's "why admit it, and why admit it now?"

I wonder if the UN thinks the game in Gaza is about up, and they are trying to get ahead of the inevitable exposure of what it's been up to there. Is this an "old news, already covered" gambit?

Maybe. I mean, I agree with the final assessment that we're finished, but Israel has probably known about Western fecklessness for a while. It's been dealing with that for decades. In the past, however, the West would eventually come through. This time, it didn't. That game is finished now.

I don't know if Israel is surprised by the fact that the UN orgs are direct belligerents in the conflict. I was.

Didja see that coffee is now being excluded from the inflation calculation? Does not bode well.

It's still part of the calculation but will not be displayed for some reason (probably embarrassment).

291 263 The US has not won a war since '45. It's part of the reason seeing young Marines makes me sad. The leadership will most likely waste their lives.

For what?

The junta has no qualms wasting all of our lives, whether figuratively or literally.

296 Musk Wins Latest Censorship Battle In Australia As High Court Rules Against eSafety Commissioner

Can Australia’s eSafety Commissioner block content globally on demand? Not today, ruled the Australian Federal Court, in a win for Elon Musk’s social media platform X.

In a decision this morning, Justice Geoffrey Kennett refused to extend a temporary injunction obtained by eSafety last month, which forced X to remove footage of the Wakeley church stabbing, an alleged religiously motivated terror attack.

enlighted s/b enlightened. But if you consider the grenades that regularly go off in Malmo, enlighted works.

Psychology. It happens all the time. It decays around you, but you convince yourself that it's okay, it'll get better, improvement is right around the corner, this can't go on, etc.

Nobody like having his home ripped away from him by assholes, and denial (or rationalization) is strong. That's just life in the big city.

Texas is requiring everyone to bring in their birth certificate/passport when they renew to combat other states giving away licenses to illegals.

Which reminds me that I need to get one in my new state. Like TX, we have constitutional carry but I think I want the extra assurance of a state-issued document.
