30 When this painting was shown in the Salon of 1866, some critics censured Courbet's "lack of taste" as well as his model's "ungainly" pose and "disheveled hair."

Guess JBF hair was not popular.

67 Serious question for our lovely 'Ettes:

Here we have Courbet painting a covering for the subjects no no square but her breasticles are exposed. Yet, every time I have surprised a nekkid woman, she instinctively covers her breasts - not her hoohah. Is this because ones' breasts are external and your other important bits are not?

Did these ladies you "surprised" have prodigious bushes?

Alternatively... clenching one's thighs can do a fair job of hiding that bit if both hands are needed to hide the bust.

While painted in a style to gain Academy acceptance in its pose and smooth flesh tones, the model's discarded clothes and disheveled hair were controversial,[2] although less so than Le Sommeil, painted the same year. Joanna Hiffernan likely posed for both paintings, as she did for others by Courbet.

145 Courbet certainly can portray naked, sensual women and seemed to enjoy doing so. He knows how to capture the feel of them in languid poses. Maybe it's me, but I often sense a bit of underlying humor in some of his paintings. In today's selection I get the humor aspect of the parrot as if that is the focus instead of the woman.

No idea how they were received by the critics of his time but he did some wonderful still life paintings as well.

167 Proving that I am single minded, I will ignore the picture of the naked lady...

Florida early vote update, and the trend lines are continuing to be clear. Florida is not unique, so behavior in this state will be similar to behavior in other states.

1) Republicans added another 59K votes to their lead yesterday
2) Democrats had a 115K lead in 2020, in 2024 Republicans have a 727K lead
3) This is a shift of 842,687 votes between the two elections (Trump won the state by about 400K votes)
4) Republicans have almost reached their IPEV total from 2020, and are now at 97%
5) Democrats are at 49% of their 2020 mail-in vote levels, while Republicans are at 60%

While I expect a small closing of the gap this weekend, it will be trivial. Democrats traditionally get the bulk of their votes in during the first week and Republicans close the gap in the second.

Simple fact is Democrats are not voting this year.

My spidey sense is telling me that this is how Democrats are going to vote for Trump without having to vote for Trump. They are staying home.

— Here, Joe Scarborough melts down into a bizarre falsetto rant about “hypocrisy" and Fox News and J6.

They are so mad.

In the final week of the campaign, the propaganda press has been forced to spend days defending a decrepit Joe Biden — and they continue to get angrier and more unhinged while doing it.

Once again, a PR masterstroke from Trump.

And the idea that Trump has been consistently even if not above in the "popular vote" and the House was 50/50 and probably gonna go Democrat was always silly nonsense.

224 A note on pollsters:

ABC fired its longtime pollster a while back. Why? His results were too Trump-positive. They then partnered with Ipsos, a notoriously bad pollster.

Does ABC incentivize accuracy in its selection of pollsters?

Do other media sources?

Will pollsters be willing to say whatever the data says in an environment where someone like ABC will just fire their pollsters if they don't give them what they want?

There are very few Democrat GOTV operations any more, since they shifted to using early voting.

Getting them to the polls on election day is a very heavy lift, since they weren't willing to vote using the easiest available method.

Many of them don't even know where their polling location is.

If I had been told those numbers were from this year in a state, like, Michigan, I would have believed it meant it was certain that Trump would win.

NEW: Mysterious super PAC tied to Democrats is meddling in Senate and House races by boosting libertarian candidates, hoping to take away support from Republican candidates.

"The Save Western Culture PAC, which appears to be targeting the Maryland and Texas Senate races and at least a dozen equally close House contests, registered with the Federal Election Commission on Oct. 11.

Its late-stage FEC registration means that there is no public information available about its donors — and there very likely won’t be before the Nov. 5 election, further raising suspicions, including over whether it could be trying to siphon votes from GOP candidates. Details about its spending are also limited."

Seems like I've heard that elsewhere, too. But I'm not really sure if it was from someone else.

It makes sense though. Kamala had no traction, whatsoever, in the 2020 primary. She has zero popularity. In short, she's no Barack Obama (who despite being an empty suit, and a socialist, could belt out speeches that sounded good if you were an ignoramous). She really can't even do an interview, and her campaign is a festival of emptiness and contradictions.

Sometimes I wonder if the Patriots somehow conspired to get her to be the candidate. She is uniquely bad. Maybe even worse than Biden.

I wonder about Biden in 2020 too. He had no traction in the primaries - was crashing and burning. Then, all of a sudden he was unbeatable. Who was behind that?

This is a false reading of the 2020 primary.

Biden entered the race and ended up second in polling consistently for months and months. Second to Bernie. He never crashed and burned. He was steady as a rock. Who crashed and burned were all the establishment progressive hopes like Kamala, Warren, Beto, and Buttigieg (who won Iowa, remember).

Biden just kind of stayed around. In terms of actual primary performance, he did poorly in IA and NH, but IA and NH are jokes in terms of actually delivering a candidate, especially if they disagree (IA should be shoved to the back of the schedule, to be honest). Suddenly, SC comes up, and Biden, who'd been polling consistently at the top in the state. It wasn't a last second change that he won SC. He'd been coasting to victory in SC since Feb of 2019 (look up the polls, it's true, Clyburn did shit).

The establishment wanted someone else. Bernie was top of the stack. Biden just outlasted everyone until SC, the first real primary of the schedule

What has changed is that Democrat votes have fallen off a cliff.

You are seeing big leads everywhere, but not because of Republicans over performing. It is because Democrats aren't showing up.
Posted by: Dave in Fla at October 31, 2024 10:32 AM (Gjv0b)

I'm confused. I thought R's were voting earlier this year. Could it be that they're doing early voting, instead of mail-in? I don't know hoe they do it in FL.

Really though, we're comparing patterns vs the year where the COVID scare had people home-bound. We don't really know when R's and D's are going to vote, do we?

Regardless, I'm not the least bit worried about FL. DeSantis won't allow enough funny business to be decisive, and FL isn't a swing state anymore (like it was in 2000), at least not for Trump.

311 Question for Dave in Fla,

Do you have a sense of whether the pro-abortion Amendment 4 will get 60%? I saw a recent poll that had support only at 54%, but with enough undecideds that it conceivably get to 60%. It said that among those who had already voted (a more Democratic group than the overall electorate, since this was taken last week when the FL vote was less R than now) it was at 58%. It seems likely to me that number would have dropped since, and perhaps continue to drop as more Rs vote early and on election day. Of course, maybe 25-30% of Rs are voting yes, and I would expect the yes side to get a majority, but maybe not 60%.

Watch as numerous fire departments rush to the scene of a major fire at a lithium battery recycling plant in Fredericktown, Missouri, earlier this evening. The blaze, which broke out at the 225,000-square-foot facility owned by Critical Mineral Recovery, led to shelter-in-place advisories and mandatory evacuation orders in the surrounding area. According to its website, the company uses this facility to “recycle lithium-ion battery materials from battery manufacturers, automotive OEMs, battery dealers, recyclers, and processors worldwide,” describing it as “one of the largest lithium-ion battery processing facilities in the world.” All plant workers have been safely accounted for, with only minor injuries reported

From everything I've heard, R registrations are significantly up. Enthusiasm was pretty high last time, and I would think it would be comparable this time - so R turnout should be somewhat higher, I would have expected.

Ds not turning out? That's very easy to believe. Even the Dems don't like Kamala. They didn't vote for her in the primary, and she's just embarrassing. They recognize everything was better under Trump, and they just don't want to openly admit it, so they stay home.

Ds not turning out? That's very easy to believe. Even the Dems don't like Kamala. They didn't vote for her in the primary, and she's just embarrassing. They recognize everything was better under Trump, and they just don't want to openly admit it, so they stay home.

Yes. Registrations are massively up, but it's not translating into early voting.

Republicans, in every state that has embraced early voting over the past couple of decades, are significantly more likely to vote on election day than Democrats.

The idea is that this pattern will continue to hold when combined with the registration advantages should equate to Republicans still doing very well on election day even if Democrats suddenly change their voting behavior.

369 ...Suddenly, SC comes up, and Biden, who'd been polling consistently at the top in the state. It wasn't a last second change that he won SC. He'd been coasting to victory in SC since Feb of 2019 (look up the polls, it's true, Clyburn did shit).

The establishment wanted someone else. Bernie was top of the stack. Biden just outlasted everyone until SC, the first real primary of the schedule

The bigger problem is that it appears the fake “voter protection” workers - who are in fact Democrat Party operatives (not elections officials) - appear to be the ones directing the offices to shut down the lines and telling people they can’t vote.

This is illegal, and @JoshShapiroPA should do something about operatives in his own party depriving people of their right to vote. If he doesn't, he is complicit in voter fraud.

Probably helped by Biden to make an ally in Congress feel good and build the narrative that black people love Biden (which seems to be genuinely true, they love Obama's VP).

Not dissimilar to "Howard Dean lost the D primaries for yelling at a rally".

He was polling way behind and was never considered likely to win any of the important super tuesday states. There was hope he might win NH (he's from VT). That speech he gave in Iowa was after he lost the caucus. And then he went on to lose NH.

Lots of narratives and "accepted wisdom" around elections are complete bullshit.

Technically Shapiro can be criminally charged for voter suppression (federal law) along with those activists if Shapiro collaborated with allowing them access to polling places as fraudulent polling workers.
