Mid-Morning Art Thread
Charles E. Weir From the Met's description...
"The Wood Sawyer" is unlike any known early 19th-century genre scene in its positive focus on a Black figure. Painted by New York-trained Charles Weir (younger brother of the better-known Robert Weir), it is one of just two existing works by the artist. As noted in the title, the depicted figure is a ‘sawyer’, cutting wood to be sent down an open scuttle—visible with its chained cast-iron cap in the stone sidewalk—into the cellar of a hotel, identified by the hanging sign. The man’s elegant dress may also imply different responsibilities as a porter. The presence of rooting hogs in the middle distance indicate sanitation challenges in a rapidly industrializing New York, especially in working-class neighborhoods, where the animals also functioned as a source of food. On his 1842 visit to the city, English writer and social critic Charles Dickens was astonished by their "roving, gentlemanly, vagabond kind of life. They are never attended upon, or fed, or driven, or caught, but are thrown upon their own resources in early life, and become preternaturally knowing in consequence. . . . At this hour, just as evening is closing in, you will see them roaming towards bed by scores, eating their way to the last." That Weir chose to highlight both this critical urban problem and the significant labor of a free person of color reveals the topicality of the work.
Or...if one discards the blatant politics of victim-hood that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wallows in...it's an interesting scene that shows the evolution of a city.

The Met may be assigning all sorts of modern social significance to the painting. (Gee. Who could have expected that.) Not knowing anything about Weir's politics, he may have just intended the painting to show a typical scene in NYC.

1. While Minneapolis burned, you stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day, blaming the city for not submitting the right paperwork.
2. You let your daughter leak the Guard's deployment plans online, so that rioters would know how long they had to loot the city with impunity.
3. Minneapolis is a war zone because of you.

You know, this isn't a bad strategy by the DimE to get their minions to vote.
All Leftards like to think of themselves as subversives and truth-tellers, and "speaking to power".
A protest vote for against Trump and for nothing plugs right into their sweet spot.

Trichinosis is a big deal. Brucellosis is.
In Texas hog meat cannot be donated or sold without inspection. Because hogs are omnivores (unlike deer and cattle) they're susceptible to more diseases and MUST be brought in alive to a processing station and then they're subject to USDA inspection before they're declared fit for human consumption.
You want them inspected? You have to catch and bring them in alive. And YOU are financially responsible for the inspection fees.
There are more than 24 diseases that people can get from wild hogs, the CDC notes. Most of these diseases make people sick when they eat undercooked meat. But brucellosis -- a risk factor with feral hog meat -- is different.
We shoot them and drag 'em to the ditch. Eye opening when you notice the buzzards haven't touched them for a week.

Tim Walz will also move the needle in Western PA, which is more Midwesterny than Eastern PA. Western PA is really where we lost the election in 2016.
Joe still has a little of that whiney republican blood in him. He'll come around.
Joe is an idiot. Mika is ok, I watch her facial expressions and wonder why she doesn't toss hot coffee on him.

Archimedes I hate to push PV now but they have a big expose out about how Islamic interests are rigging local level votes in Dem/Prog cities and pushing out the ol' hippy types.
they are making a lot of moves. a lot of those "keep out" city areas are essentially controlled now by a Muzzie-Machine
this is, btw, not good.

Quote from DU Underground from earlier said Walz was "warm and accessible-like a favorite uncle." My uncle wasn't a politician. But if he were I don't think he'd let much of a major city be burnt down to appease BLM.

I agree. I also don't think it'll happen. Florida isn't the template we wish it was. It's looking more and more like a nice outlier. Arizona and Georgia seem desperate to RINO their way into permanent Dem control.
The real purple states like Michigan, Pennslyvania, and Wisconsin are still largely Dem controlled and that's not changing anytime soon. Trump winning there was about Trump very "unpolitical" appeal to normies who don't vote. Can Vance tap into that market enough to win in spite of the Dem machines there? I don't know but right now he seems a little too slick where Trump isn't (in a way that appeals to normies).

Eh. It's the more normal pattern that the VP gets the most attention out of the gate for the next election.
It's a national platform with this ephemera about them already being electable (no one votes for VP).
Essentially, Vance has a head start if the ticket wins.

Charles Dickens was astonished by their "roving, gentlemanly, vagabond kind of life. They are never attended upon, or fed, or driven, or caught, but are thrown upon their own resources in early life, and become preternaturally knowing in consequence. . . . At this hour, just as evening is closing in, you will see them roaming towards bed by scores, eating their way to the last." That Weir chose to highlight both this critical urban problem

I just saw a YouTube video of some rando small golfing channel, where he analyzed a video (and the comments) of Trump and Bryson DeChambeau playing golf for a Wounded Warrior fundraiser. https://tinyurl.com/bdd3w76f
1- Commenters were impressed with Trump's golfing ability
2- Many comments were on how surprisingly "chill" and friendly Trump seemed. He was a regular dude you'd like to play golf with
3- Trump wasn't an ego maniac, but seemed genuinely impressed by DeChambeau's performance and enjoyed seeing a great golfer play
It's sad because many people would like Trump more if they saw this genuine side of him....it's no surprise the media works so hard to suppress it.

If there's one character trait I've seen Trump display, it's an admiration for truly special talent. He was in awe of Bryson throughout that round.

Everything is curated because that allows them to even the playing field of perception. What you describe is true, but it isn't the point. It's a specific manifestation of a general condition.
If they did more of this kind of thing with Trump, they would *have* to show natural interactions for Harris or else people would notice (even if only as a vague feeling that something is wrong). To keep things under control, natural interactions need to be avoided.
There are risks to this. If your candidate actually *is* personable, you can't show it. But since the typical condition of politicians is that they're demons, it's in everyone's best interest to ensure everything is curated.
The game of illusions that the Complex plays to put a sheen of ersatz humanity on the soulless automata handling the levers of power requires an absence of uncontrolled or natural interactions. That isn't about Trump so much as it's about the rest of them.

Walker met national donors who said, "You have to be squishy on immigration."
He then went squishy on immigration (no idea of what his views had been before because his tenure was all union based as far as I could tell).
Even in the face of Trump walking away with the nomination because of his stance on immigration, the donors wouldn't let any of their candidates take harder lines on the issue because it's that important to them.

A VP running for Prez election right after their term as VP almost never wins.
Unless the incumbent is still popular at the time of the election.
GHWB wouldn't have won without Reagan's popularity.
Gore lost because Clinton was never really that popular (he only won in 3-way races).
Mondale was Carter's VP, lol.
Ford, lol, no chance.
Johnson, only 'cause he killed his boss.
Nixon was Ike's VP, but didn't get the job until two presidents later.
Truman, was automatic after FDR, of course.
Historically, even with out the far-left baggage, Kamialaia as candidate this year was almost certain to lose.

This makes sense, if one is officially concerned about pollution, mining, road building, water table declines, timber cutting, farmland destruction, energy demands on infrastructure and dams. They were also officially for Nuclear Power.
Gee. I wonder what happened? Well you get one guess. The big time donors didn't like national borders. And they didn't like nuclear power.
Sierra Club doesn't talk about such things any longer. Washington city works the same way.
You run for office, you take money from donor pacs. And whatever they want, you want too. Or you better, or no money for you.
This is why "Donald Trump and his kind must never be allowed to rise again" type comments are made publicly.
It's why no candidate policy even remotely approaches 100 million voters opinions on anything.
It really is extraordinary if you think about it. Neither party offers anything to voters. Nice work if you can get it. The press helpfully covers this all up, and provides "Look! Squirrel!" to keep people occupied.

Store Closures Surge In PA: See List Of Retailers Shutting Doors

In part, PENNSYLVANIA — Some 3,200 brick-and-mortar stores, including many in Pennsylvania, have closed so far this year, and more are expected to close through the remainder of the year, according to a new analysis.
Retail data provider CoreSight noted a 24 percent increase in store closures over last year as the retail industry adjusts to a shift in consumer shopping to online outlets, inflation and bankruptcies.

wait, i thought weird was bad? is it good again since it turned out it didn't work on PDJT & Vance?
Posted by: SturmToddler
The Dems think "weird" has shaken Trump/Vance, it's sticking, and is a big hit with voters of all stripes. I don't know if it's because they're delusional, retarded, or just reflexively support whatever their candidates do until told otherwise, but it's dumb, and they don't seem to know it yet.

A VP running for Prez election right after their term as VP almost never wins.
Unless the incumbent is still popular at the time of the election.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at August 06, 2024 10:45 AM (l3206)

True, but we need to appreciate the unusual times we're in.
Kamala is a VP running after only a single term, and not in the way Mondale did (who ran after his term had ended). She's running as an incumbent VP after only a single term. Usually an incumbent VP runs after two terms and that means asking the electorate to give the party in power a third term in the white house. That's often a big ask for a country that often gets bored and likes change for the sake of it.
Next election, assuming Trump wins in 24, Vance will be running after being VP for only a single term. We'll be coming off the first time we've had a non-consecutive two-term Prez in 150 years.
There's not really a precedent here from which we could theorize.

Not one of. The first. He called all of us weird.
I guy who signs a bill mandating tampons in boys bathrooms in schools, encourages BLM/antifa terrorists to burn his cities and encourages child mutilation calls us weird.
I think that one is going to come back to haunt him.

Absolutely. It's worse than Hillary calling us deplorables. Walz is not just criticizing us, he's inviting a comparison. His version of "normal" is trans rapists and burning cities.
That'll play real nicely in the suburbs of Michigan and PA.
