Beautifully painted portrait though.

This might be one of those cases where some guy's art school painted it. Because they're in his school/training, they don't get to put their own name on the painting, so it's "in the style of" the guy who's teaching them.

Posted by: George Costanza at August 12, 2025 09:39 AM (XQo4F)

41 I like the design and I like the elegance of the lace. As far as wealthy boys being dressed in what might seem like an effeminate manner, this was true through the late 1800's. and no, neither the parents nor the male children thought that they were girls. That was left to nutcase leftists pushing this.

58 This is a remarkable portrait. The details and use of natural colors, especially the clothing and skin tones, feels realistic, like the viewer is in the room. But the direct glance of the child at the viewer, apparently a technique of this artist, makes it so effective.

For the rest of the 'Rons, based on other paintings, Moreelse was a fan of Dutch girl boobs and nipples.

65 The subject fidgeted uncontrollably until I placed an odd bright green object I'd found on the street where he could see it. He was fascinated by it, and wouldn't take his eyes off it. If you look closely, you can see a faint reflection of it in his eyes.

147 I have been using AI to rewrite my resume to better fit job announcements.
Priming it with "what are the KSA for this job? what does an ideal candidate look like? which parts of my resume match?, etc."

Dang, if you're capable of supervising it to filter out the fibs (like it tried to add skill/experience I don't have just to match the announcement), it's pretty good at helping overcome a deeply embedded aversion to self-congratulation.

I think the best description of AI is, it's not going to do your job for you but it can help you do your job much, much better.

The best part was Powell trying to tell Trump the numbers he had were wrong.
Hey dumbass? The numbers are irrelevant. The point was, an expert in major commercial construction was standing there telling you the project was FUBAR and way over-budget.
At that point, you have one option: Fire every manager and file suit against the construction company for the over-runs.

Instead, you coddled yourself in laudatory newsprint to salve the deserved insults and sipped your comforting cup of Trump Hate.

=======
Repeatedly our elites (including the right side of the Uniparty) have been shown to be dunces of the highest order. People like Paul Ryan, John Bolton, Billy Barr, Lynne Cheney, Mitch McConnell, most of Trump I's cabinet, ..... have been shown to be corrupt liars that could not manage a lemonade stand, let alone institutions of government and policy.

Trump's power is that he is the boy that dared to say the Emperor's new clothes were non-existent. So it is with the assumption that people in DC ever got their positions by actual merit, wisdom, and intelligence.

DC is truly Hollywood for Ugly People including low cunning and a lack of general intelligence.

Washington, DC is a beautiful city.
DC is home to 700K people and welcomes millions every year.
We have the #1 park system, fantastic public schools, and a tremendous public transportation system.
And we are at a 30-year low in violent crime.
It's important for all who live here and visit to know how beautiful our city is and how proud we are of all that we've accomplished.

Eh, blow it out your ass.

HOLY SHLIT: Melissa Moorman, an employee of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (@KYTC), was FIRED after she blew the whistle on a scheme to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens at $200 each "under the table."
Moorman says that the scheme would happen 4-5 times PER DAY at multiple branches across the state, totaling potentially THOUSANDS of invalid licenses. KYTC claims the licenses were issued "in error."
After exposing the scheme, Moorman was fired. The KYTC also denied any public request for documentation, withholding nearly 2,300 records.
This needs a full investigation now

Same reason that a governor of IL went to prison way back when they actually elected Republicans.

Make id important for illegals to stay here, there will be bribes, etc. to get those documents. And politicians willing to give cover for those activities.

This was/is happening in every state. On a massive scale in the blue states.
On top of Biden giving out Social Security numbers to any illegal, many without even requesting.

Because, they were going to (are still trying; see that loony GOPe FL Rep) demand an amnesty for anyone who has a SSN or DL.

See also the shift to calling them "undocumented." 'Cause now they could claim they are now documented.

Corrupt the language, corrupt the systems and weaponize the residual, institutional trust in those systems to obtain their ends.

I don't really care what the crew does on the CNN's ship of fools. Cable networks are probably going to start going dark soon as virtually everyone under the age of sixty is cutting the cord and thus killing any influence that CNN might have with anyone other than their dwindling, aging, and out of touch viewers.

All CNN does everyday is provide a certain age segment continuous reinforcement for Orange Man Bad idiocy. Consider that Geritol probably was more healthy that what CNN peddles.

248 A couple years ago, maybe 2 - 3 or so, the capitol police or someone affiliated with them put out a "primer" on how to stay safe on D.C. streets while driving.

Some tips:
- Keep the windows rolled up at all times. (A short discussion on what to do in summer if you don't have A/C was to roll the windows up "half way.")
- Drive in the center lane to avoid carjacking.
- Don't travel alone.
- At lights or stop signs leave enough room to get around other vehicles in the event of violence.

This, while at the same time claiming the capitol city was safer than ever.
