6 There is something weird and distinctly unsettling about the girl's face. The angle, maybe. Even taking into account the odd color pallet, it's still weird. Off-putting. I can't quite put my finger on why.

Yup. That is one of two interpretations that came to mind for me (her parents are in the graveyard).

The other for me was that the orphanage is attached to a church, and that's the church cemetery and the setting is largely incidental, just another dreary component of life for an orphan who chooses to surround herself with the unknown dead.

Both require lots of assumptions, but that's one of the nice things about art. Occam's Razor doesn't apply.

50 She looks like someone I know, but I can’t place who. The tears in her eyes are quite stirring. At first pass, I would say no to hanging, but the more I look, the more I see and art isn’t always about joy. It’s all the emotions, and grief is an equally powerful emotion to joy.

It's literally true, there was once a fear of such things, or that the dead would have been buried prematurely. Lots of folks were buried with air holes, or little bells attached topside, to a string that led down into the coffin.

65 From Wiki-

Believed to be a preparatory work in oil for the artist's later Massacre at Chios, Orphan Girl at the Cemetery is nevertheless considered a masterpiece in its own right. An air of sorrow and fearfulness emanates from the picture, and tears well from the eyes of the grief-stricken girl as she looks apprehensively upward. The dimness of the sky and the abandoned laying-ground are consonant with her expression of melancholy. The girl's body language and clothing evoke tragedy and vulnerability: the dress drooping down from her shoulder, a hand laid weakly on her thigh, the shadows above the nape of her neck, the darkness at her left side, and the cold and pale coloring of her attire. All these are combined to emphasize a sense of loss, of unreachable hope, her isolation, and the absence of any means of help

66 I was reading some Slavic mythology the other day.

They had their version of a vampire, that rises from its grave at night to attack the village they came from.

How do you defeat this undead villain? Why during the day you dig up his/her corpse and take their clothes off. They'll die for real from embarrassment.

And...I'm guessing there was some pervy shaman behind this tradition...

73 Chios massacre
Slaughter of tens of thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios by Ottoman troops during the Greek War of Independence in 1822
The Chios massacre was a catastrophe that resulted in the death, enslavement, and flight of about four-fifths of the total population of Greeks on the island of Chios by Ottoman troops, during the Greek War of Independence in 1822. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people were killed or enslaved during the massacre, while up to 20,000 escaped as refugees.

Posted by: Madamemayhem (uppity wench

The sheer olive-colored fabric that rests faintly across her right shoulder is representative of newly-orphaned girls, generally within the last 2-6 months. If it's more than 6 months the fabric is not sheer, and if it's greater than 5 years but the child is still a minor than the olive color is represented by greenish-yellow.

Or the artist just named it that and liked the colors.

I can't believe you don't understand art.

Here's what I'm getting, if we're being serious (and don't call me Shirley). In some places, during some ages, being orphaned was a dangerous thing for a young, attractive woman. If she's not yet betrothed, she must get attached to someone, somewhere, somehow.

So here she is, in her suffering, looking up and over at the distant "cousin" or town roue, who is offering to take her on as a maid, and she's old enough to know what that means.

81 Amazing.

Eugene-Delacroix dot com:

"Orphan Girl at the Cemetery was painted in 1824 by Eugene Delacroix. The painting depicts a young girl visiting a cemetery, most likely located in the French countryside. Her tearful eyes are directed upward, toward heaven. Is she questioning God's will? Does she look to understand why her loved one was taken from her? Her expression conveys not only sadness, but also emotional pain.

The melancholic atmosphere of Orphan Girl at the Cemetery is emphasized by the dimly lit background, the paleness of the sky and the dark, neglected graveyard, all of which suggest abandonment. The young girl's posture implies resignation; her gaping mouth, the hand that lies lifeless on her knee, and the right arm that supports her body on the ground give the viewer a sense of hopelessness. Eugene Delacroix's shadowing technique is masterful, from the nape of her neck to the wrinkles of her clothing. The background is slightly blurred, placing all the attention on the grief-stricken figure at the forefront of the canvas. The exceptional color scheme chosen by Delacroix for this composition creates the aura of solitude and loneliness."

And even when there's a fixed narrative, the details are up to you. Like Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliette." Okay, it's right in the title. If you know the title, you'll know the story in advance (or at least, you would have, when classics were still taught). But the details of what is happening when are up to you.

There are fairly few exceptions to this that I can think of. One of the better ones comes from Disney - classical Disney, before it is was hellscape. They added narration (and animation, which I think was gilding the lily at best) about which instrument was which character, what is going on, etc. It adds some structure and helps ease people into visualizing music. Splendid. Here's my favorite version of it with narration:
https://youtu.be/oZ5WMZUbKy4?t=19

And of course, it is possible that *nothing* can top the Grieg's "Hall of the Mountain King" for pure visualization potential in music:

91 We call white people "Caucasian" because some ethnographers decided the people of that area were the best looking white people. Seriously that's why.

But why did French/German people a couple of hundred years ago know what people in the far off and remote Caucus region looked like to begin with?

Because the Turks talked at length as to how beautiful they were and would try to take female slaves for their rulers from that area...

It is estimated that up to 100,000 people were killed or enslaved during the massacre, while up to 20,000 escaped as refugees.

This is not possible.

Only Americans owned slaves.

108 NEW: Trump sends vetting paperwork to the following potential VP candidates:

• Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
• Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance
• S.C. Sen. Tim Scott
• N.D. Gov. Doug Burgum
• Florida Rep. Byron Donalds
• New York Rep. Elise Stefanik
• Doctor Ben Carson

Based on the way old Trump makes decisions I would think Stefanik would have a solid chance as she is one of his stronger public defenders. And if he picks her I wonder if that means he really is going to try for NY?

Zeldin came close (and the rando running against Schumer) but I think that's because they didn't crank up the fraud apparatus as they didn't see the risk until too late.

115 My eyes are drawn to the well-painted right ear. Holding the otoscope between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, like a chopstick, rest the hypothenar eminence lightly against her maxilla. Tilt her head slightly to the left. Grasp the posterior aspect of the pinna with your left hand and gently pull the ear upward and posteriorly to straighten the fleshy portion of the external auditory canal (EAC). Gently insert the tip of the otoscope into the external canal and observe the landmarks of the tympanic membrane (TM), noting color, contour (retracted or bulging), fluid behind the membrane, scarring/perforations, and the reflected "cone of light" in the anterior and inferior quadrant of the TM. Gently puff air with the insufflator and observe for mobility of the TM. If the view is obstructed by cerumen, gently remove it with a curette or irrigate the canal. ..

I remember reading some study that showed girls go through puberty later if they have a close male relative in the house. It didn't have to be a father but could also be an uncle.

Because presumably in the old days if all your older male relatives were dead as a young woman/girl your life was about to get a lot harder.

155 Wall Street Admits The Biggest Economic Shocker: All Jobs In The Past Year Have Gone To Illegal Aliens

For much of the past year we had been pounding the table on two very simple facts: not only has the US labor market been appallingly weak, with most of the jobs "gained" in 2023 and meant to signal how strong the Biden "recovery" has been, about to be revised away (as first the Philly Fed and now Bloomberg both admit), …

… but more shockingly, all the job growth in the past few years has gone to illegal aliens.

184 108 NEW: Trump sends vetting paperwork to the following potential VP candidates:

• Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
• Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance
• S.C. Sen. Tim Scott
• N.D. Gov. Doug Burgum
• Florida Rep. Byron Donalds
• New York Rep. Elise Stefanik
• Doctor Ben Carson

Based on the way old Trump makes decisions I would think Stefanik would have a solid chance as she is one of his stronger public defenders. And if he picks her I wonder if that means he really is going to try for NY?

Zeldin came close (and the rando running against Schumer) but I think that's because they didn't crank up the fraud apparatus as they didn't see the risk until too late.

Biden invokes Ukraine’s fight against ‘tyrant’ in marking D-Day

In part, "President Biden marked the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings Thursday with a tribute to the bravery of those who landed in Normandy while invoking Ukraine’s fight against “a tyrant,” appealing to Americans to remember the value of international alliances at a precarious moment in world affairs.

Biden, speaking adjacent to the U.S. cemetery in Normandy, France, in front of dozens of surviving World War II veterans, sought to connect the allied victory of 80 years ago directly to the modern importance of America’s role as an international leader."

I did a statistical analysis a few years back, and no, VP picks don't move votes in their home states.

No one cares about the VP. Well, not enough numbers to matter (there will be plenty of people round here who will say they only voted in 2008 because of Palin, but how representative of the vote do you think these numbers are? and are they related to home stateness?).

It's about appealing to internal stakeholders within the party. Pence was about appealing to the "moderate" wing of the GOP.

If it were up to me, Trump would pick another outsider flamethrower who hated the GOPe to show the GOPe who's in charge.

Holding the otoscope between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, like a chopstick, rest the hypothenar eminence lightly against her maxilla. Tilt her head slightly to the left. Grasp the posterior aspect of the pinna with your left hand and gently pull the ear upward and posteriorly to straighten the fleshy portion of the external auditory canal (EAC). Gently insert the tip of the otoscope into the external canal and observe the landmarks of the tympanic membrane (TM), noting color, contour (retracted or bulging)...

Not really.

The idea that the next presidential hopeful has to be the VP is a weird thing to me. Dick Cheney was never seriously considered for the post. The "next in line" went to McCain.

It's an amorphous thing, but Trump has the unique ability as outsider/king of the party to point the finger at a particular candidate in 2028 and say, "That guy/girl". It doesn't have to be VP.

Heck. DeSantis getting the AG spot, tearing out the rot of the DOJ, and then getting the nod from Trump would be better than him being in a worthless position like the VP.

258 A link for those interested in the recent excavations at Pompeii. Several new rooms were found two of which are painted an unusual bright and pretty blue. I'm fascinated with the very high quality of the artwork and how all that technical knowledge was lost and not found again until the Renaissance.

I suppose that this makes me a heartless bastard, but-

I don't believe that there should be any policy/law that requires us to take in refugees.

One, that policy is grossly abused.
Two, what's the benefit to the taxpayer of loading up the welfare rolls with refugees.

Refugees can apply same as anyone else.

Or...alternatively, each set of refugees and the numbers allowed must be voted on by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. And the money for settling them must be approved and financed ahead of time. Otherwise, no refugees.

It's a stupid and stupidly abused law.
