38 A man is at the bar, drunk. I pick him up off the floor, and offer to take him home. On the way to my car, he falls down three times. When I get to his house, I help him out of the car, and on the way to the front door, he falls down four more times. I ring the bell and say, Here's your husband! The man's wife says, Where's his wheelchair?

77 Very sad. Some poor kid living in his parents' basement, shoved out of sight during Covid, retreated to the computer games and classes in which he was never really present.... masks, shutdowns, locked in..... no one to laugh with or talk to. Only the banging of his parents footsteps upstairs. The fighting, sometimes over him. The silence. No one really Missed him. Or even noticed when the world opened up and he wasn't there.

Poor kid wants to remain disappeared.

79 While I don't like it, further inspection of the technique makes it seem almost like it's raining inside the scene, especially the way the floor is done. Interesting and seems to enhance the intended emotion. To gaze upon it is to know despair.

114 From wikiart

Jarik Jongman introduces waiting rooms, data centers and film sets as a stage for ideas about reality and human behaviour in the ‘post truth’ society. More than ever, ‘truth’ seems to have become a fluid concept. Furthermore, the paradoxical situation has arisen, wherein the abundance of information available is merely contributing to our insecurity. In his current work the artist constructs new, imaginary visual spaces, departing from personal memories and associations and found imagery from newspapers, magazines and the internet

117 Jongman, you're not even a memory.

Posted by: Braenyard at September 30, 2024 09:59 AM (KTeKV)

118 Jarik Jongman introduces waiting rooms, data centers and film sets as a stage for ideas about reality and human behaviour in the ‘post truth’ society. More than ever, ‘truth’ seems to have become a fluid concept. Furthermore, the paradoxical situation has arisen, wherein the abundance of information available is merely contributing to our insecurity. In his current work the artist constructs new, imaginary visual spaces, departing from personal memories and associations and found imagery from newspapers, magazines and the internet

What a pantload.

I remember when Howard Dean was reflecting on his 2004 primary run. He kept getting these enthusiastic crowds across a state, and he was encouraged, until he noticed that he kept seeing the same woman at every single event. He had a core set of voters who were following him around everywhere, and he hadn't realized it.

And now, the actual presidential candidate, who has not won a single vote to be there but is the beneficiary of a backroom coup against the guy who did win all the primary votes two primary cycles in a row, is doing it as a matter of campaign strategy.

All while she's polling behind...Hillary in 2016.

Leftist propaganda serves in part to make it seem that leftist views are way more popular then they are. I assume we've all seen those videos where they mash up every FNM reporter saying the same line after it becomes part of the narrative. Because they are just reading lines someone else wrote for them.

And as an interesting aspect of this if you ever have a leftist friend that goes off the grid for a while you'll find even they are amazed as to whatever the hell the media is talking about once they plug in again.

156 Jongman is an excellent artist able to capture the mood he wants in his paintings. The use of many shades of dark color and realistic detail catches the viewer's eye. The bad part is his scenes are depressing, almost nihilistic. People of a suicidal bent should avoid his work. Sheesh!

164 Report from watching the Vikings-Packers game (via pirate feed; all good conservatives are pirates), since it was in Green Bay, expected political ads:

Kammie - her debate clip, the one where she says she didn't ask if the crime victim (that no one can find any she ever talked to*) was D or R.
1) that was what they found to be her highest-rated moment?
2) also a reason why she's desperate for another debate
3) I'm not quite sure "America, you've been a victim of a crime" is a good message. Especially when she's the one who let the criminal in your house. *

Trump - Hitting her hard over the tranny surgery for illegals and inmates. "She's for they/them; Trump is for you" is a pretty good line.

Senate - It was the R ad. I didn't notice 'till he mentioned Baldwin. Hitting her liberal issues. Impression of the ad was it was a good "like me" for regular WI voters.

*It's looking almost 100% that the reason there are no "Willie Horton" ads by on the criminals Harris let go is because she never tried a case. Or even a plea.

211 From The Hurricane and its Impact

Pg 342-343 are relevant.

Project STORMFURY seeded three hurricanes in the 1960s - Esther(1961), Buelah(1963), and Debbie(1969).

With Debbie upon the first seeding, they saw a peak winds reduction of 30%. Second seeding resulted in a further 16% reduction.

There was one last experiment in 1971 with Hurricane Ginger, but since there was no identifiable eye there were no measurable results.

212 Vice President Kamala Harris @VP 11h
I was just briefed by @FEMA_Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration's continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.

I also spoke with @NC_Governor Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina.

Our Administration will continue to stay in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need.

Doug and my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones and those whose homes, businesses, and communities were damaged or destroyed during this disaster.

She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay
You'll be a dentist (You'll be a dentist)
You have a talent for causin' things pain (Pain)

239 So Newsweek had some smear piece about Republicans/conservatives recruiting hot women to their far right, fascist movement which is almost completely old white men. Somehow they manged to twist it around into a bad thing (never really knew it was a thing at all) but I guess it is meant to appeal to young men to the movement or something but in the end proves we are misogynists because we like women that look and act like women. Which proves we want them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

So, you poo-pooed all dismissal of apocalyptic reporting, but no...it's not all reporting that was shit, it was a very specific slice of it on X.

So, you have the magic key, and that means that anyone who says anything bad about weather reporters is just ignoring all the great advice out there, which you need the secret magic key to discover.

Your tone is extremely unhelpful for your cause of, "There are good weather reporters out there to listen to." In fact, you're coming across as a piece of shit who's outright enjoying the fact that people are suffering because it makes you right.

Also...seriously...I've lived through dozens of hurricanes. Being dismissive of apocalyptic reporting of weather is a natural state because most of it is total bullshit. But, the weather journalists have now successfully predicted 12 of the last 2 majorly destructive hurricanes. Well, not all of them. A small slice on X.

We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia, in order to pay my respects and bring lots of relief material, including fuel, equipment, water, and other things, to the State. Many politicians and Law Enforcement will be there. We’ll be saying hello to Franklin Graham, Burt Jones, Tyler Harper, Mike Collins, Austin Scott, Russ Goodman, Sam Watson, and the Mayor of Valdosta Scott James. They are working very hard. I was also going to stop into North Carolina, which has really been hit hard. I have a lot of supplies ready for them, but access and communication is now restricted, and we want to make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus on helping the people most affected, and not being concerned with me. I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!

282 A rather incoherent mess, this painting, and so much use of dark tones and black. It has a sort of "TV Set" feel to the layout, and the backside and... towel wearing?... central figure does convey a "forget me" theme. Or maybe it's a bad right wig. Also, emulating a hundred year old style with his "pseudo-impressionism in black" doesn't indicate a lot of creativity here. C+.

283 That coffee table is from IKEA, c. 1991. I have the same one at home.
