It's just code. The note is actually from his co-conspirators among the other cardinals. They don't yet have the votes to elevate him to the Holy See, so they can't bump off the pope just yet. He is becoming annoyed with the delays.

Look through the paintings on Strozzi's Wiki page. They are varied for topic but show the same appropriate use of light and color and realistic detail. There is some soft humor in some of them, as well. The scenes with several people caught my eye. Each person is handled as an individual. Reminds me how Rembrandt made sure each of the models in his crowd images were different.

Which is funny, because in the 17th and 18th centuries, Venice was notorious for the licentiousness of its nuns. Casanova, in his Memoirs, talks about a few regular nuns and Mother Superiors who dressed better than Venetian nobility and were prepared to surrender their virtue for the proper recompense.

She Looked Great. As did Obama. Beautifully tailored, classy, and presidential. Tan, black, cream, and other Autumn colors work well on her. But who the hell cares? And Matt Schlapp, of all people. Grab em by the d***, hypocrite.
He is a serial sexual assaulter (of men) as well. In January 2023, a campaign staffer for Herschel Walker's U.S. Senate campaign alleged that Schlapp groped him in October 2022 after Schlapp had been drinking. In December 2023, two additional allegations of sexual assault by Schlapp against male staffers were reported.

Indeed. From etymonline.com:
cardinalearly 12c., "one of the ecclesiastical princes who constitute the sacred college," from Medieval Latin cardinalis, originally as a noun "one of the presbyters of the chief (cardinal) churches of Rome," short for cardinalis ecclesiae Romanae or episcopus cardinalis, from Latin cardinalis (adj.) "principal, chief, essential"

As alluded to above, it is also used for the major points of direction -- north, south, east, west. So maybe the first church cardinals were assigned geographically? Dunno, jus' spitballin'.

Posted by: Ian S.
At its inception, this term emerged from the Latin word “cardinalis,” meaning “pertaining to a hinge.” This seemingly mundane reference to a hinge carries profound significance, as the term “cardinalis” was used metaphorically to represent the pivotal roles of certain individuals within the Roman Catholic Church.

If you get I chance to try the C and D Sun Bear Black Locust limited run blend, I think you would like it. The honey flavoring is a bit different from last year's Tupelo release but it is just as enjoyable. I discovered that sipping a good single malt Islay scotch like Lagavulin 16 or Laphroaig enhances the sweet qualities of the drink and the tobacco. Even works with my Community Coffee Breakfast Blend which has a slight cocoa undertone.

I do like the idea that despite 12 years of Biden in VP and Presidential roles, he wasn't able to get corporations to pay their "fair share" and magically balance the budget. But the Pedo Pantsshitter is still the greatest President ever.

Yeahhhhh I love how those paying the majority of taxes - whether it's corporations (few of whom I have any love for I may add) or various rich bastards - somehow always "aren't paying their fair share"
Like them or not they add value, build things, and create jobs. Random idiots whining about being poor do not. The bottom whatever-percent doesn't even break into the net positive in *their entire lifetimes*. You can subsidize a nominally productive, functional bottom end like that but only in a high trust society. Which we don't have, because the progs don't want function, they want to destroy shit.

Longtime Biden aide Anita Dunn is leaving the White House next week, according to a source familiar, and joining a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
This marks the first big departure from the White House in the wake of President Joe Biden’s decision to step down from the 2024 Democratic ticket.

A few days ago, he was waxing poetical about how the Dems are the party of the rich now and how that's a good thing because it means that Dems are higher-value and better than the rubes. That the Dems being the party of the rich and connected urban types is evidence of their superiority.
And yet today, he's back to tired old class warfare crap. Now it's *possible* that he's a genuine troll and just an abject retard, but I don't think so. I think it's a game.

Inflation, too.
"I might as well. I won't be able to afford it tomorrow anyway." Once that sets in, problems (system-level problems) get much harder to address.
Hell, a few years ago, I charted the price change of beef and fish against my total return from interest-bearing accounts and decided that I was better off buying freezer capacity (capital expense, reduction in savings) and loading up on beef and fish. If the prices kept moving like that, my final effective return would exceed my other investments once the freezer was paid for.
That one actually worked out. The freezer was a better investment than interest cashflow because it let me buffer against meat inflation for a goodly while.

When you look at the map, it looks like a Nixon landslide. He won 300 EVs and 32 states.
And yet, it all came down to a handful of states: Illinois, California, and Wisconsin. If Humphrey had won those three, the election would have gone to the House where the Dems certainly would have cut a deal with Wallace to win the White House, keeping Nixon out.
In the end, Nixon won, but Illinois held back until the last possible minute with Mayor Daley in Chicago trying to create as many fake votes as needed to help the Dem win.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

Feds keep trying to backdoor ban various types of generators, btw, so keep an eye on that.
More for those not familiar: chest freezer is way, way more efficient than a refrigerator. Easy to run one even on a small portable inverter generator, and you can freeze 2L bottles of water to put in coolers (or... a refrigerator) to refrigerate things. Running an actual refrigerator takes an asston of watts, especially with vertical-door models being much less efficient.
Also highly suggest a dual fuel if you go for a small inverters; run it on propane as long as you can so you don't have to mess with storing/preserving gas, draining tanks for storage, etc. The one I keep gas in I run every 2 weeks.

But the convenience of an upright - and the ability to actually find and keep track of shit inside it - is well worth it in my estimation. Uprights still do quite well during power outages, but the consequences of opening the door are *much* more severe than they are with a chest freezer.

The Church of England No Longer Identifies as a Church
https://tinyurl.com/bbvwdspj
I guess I don’t understand this at all- I never thought of “Church” as being the building only. Outdoor worship services are still “Church”. A nature walk with bible study to me sounds awesome, a wonderful way to worship all the beauty the Lord has given us and his miracles. Why would you need to rebrand for these things? Stating you aren’t “Church” makes the world think you are not a place of worship and that isn’t what is happening here. This is dumb, Church of England.

Clever lefty trolls are in short supply because if they could accurately model the minds of their opponents, they wouldn't be lefties in the first place. This is why progs can't meme and often lack a sense of humor.
Segue: I am certain around 2019 or so at least one lefty think tank or dirty deeds group started using AI to generate talking points and fake-conservative troll material. They got MUCH better at it all of the sudden, and as much as LLM AI's are bullshit, they are GOOD at making up bullshit and lack the prog inherent biases.

If you get I chance to try the C and D Sun Bear Black Locust limited run blend, I think you would like it. The honey flavoring is a bit different from last year's Tupelo release but it is just as enjoyable. I discovered that sipping a good single malt Islay scotch like Lagavulin 16 or Laphroaig enhances the sweet qualities of the drink and the tobacco. Even works with my Community Coffee Breakfast Blend which has a slight cocoa undertone.
Just FYI.

Thanks for the tip, JTB. I've bought several C & D blends and liked them, with the exception of Gentleman Caller, which seemed like smoking warm air to me. A blend's compatibility with coffee (though I don't like the stuff black) is important to me too.

Wire baskets only go so far. And I have a vacuum sealer for the latter. Strongly recommend. If you're going to lay in supplies in the freezer, get the vacuum sealer. Worth every penny, even if the bags are expensive. It doesn't matter. The longevity of everything that goes into that freezer goes up radically if you get a vacuum sealer.

You'd be wildly overqualified for many staff jobs (i.e. not requiring MLIS) in academic libraries, and the pay is usually dismal, but would that be something you'd consider? In my experience, being overqualified isn't an issue, since it can be a major challenge to get ANY qualified applicants for some jobs. And for things like cataloging, we just want someone with the aptitude (like being detail-oriented) and interest, not necessarily prior cataloging experience.
My sincere apologies if I'm giving unwanted advice.

For me, I lay in mostly sirloins, with a fair number of ribeyes and a few NY strips (I find NY strip to not really be worth the money. Ribeye is worth its premium for some high-end steaking, but NY really isn't in my opinion). Have some cheap cuts, too.
