14 Though I think the young woman's face, in fact her whole head, seems out of proportion -- as if her skull is deeper from front to back than normal.

Oh, well, there's a breast on display. It's all good, then.

100 Tenebrism is a painting style characterized by strong contrasts of light and dark, creating a dramatic effect. It often features subjects illuminated by a bright light against a dark background, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figures.

104 All seriousness aside . . . this is a colorful painting and one that's full of life. They are smiling happily, looking like they are having fun, and are shortly to have some more without their clothes. Her leg and knee are very realistic, as are the folds of his sleeve (and hers) and his doublet -- if that's what you call it -- and her hair looks warm and silky enough to touch. His right hand displays the natural crinkles of a hand in that position.

Aside from the odd proportions of her face, it's very well done. If she looked more like, say, Jan Smithers than she does Greta T., this would be a real winner.

Burrows is from Lubbock.

The Chamber of Commerce is a big deal there still.
They never met a tax increase or a spending project they didn't support.
Because, either way, their members--dominated by the same 5 or so large construction companies (e.g. Lee Lewis)--are going to get awarded bids to do the work.

IIRC, the Dildo Police mayor that I mentioned a while back, was supported by them.
His red light camera project was great because one of their members got the bid to install and run them.

PS: To "be" someone in Lubbock, you have to go to the Broadway Church of Christ. That was the center hub of the assholes that hated Mike Leach and conspired to run him off. To be replaced by their favored "Pine Box" Tommy Tubberville. I still don't trust Tommy.

A. They have a generational talent who has brought more viewers new fans that they could have ever imagined -- but she's straight and white, so they are doing everything they can to destroy her.

Overture of 1812 is on the playlist, although the symphony we watch the most, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, does not have a good rendition of it (we're doing Tchaikowsky's No. 4 right now). The best "1812" I've seen so far was in Spain. I think it was a hybrid high school/community band outdoor concert, but they had a cannon, a hidden horn section in the audience and a BELL TOWER, which you don't see very often!

305 Brazilian woman granted asylum in Europe after ‘misgendering’ a politician

excerpt -
Hilton took revenge, reporting Cêpa, who was then 29 years old, to the police and filing a complaint. The police interrogated Cêpa in January 2022, and she found out in June after being contacted by a Brazilian reporter that she was being charged with five counts of “social racism” for her “transphobic” social media posts. In addition to her comments about Hilton, the public prosecutor had closely examined her social media accounts for other “transphobic comments” and added them to the charges.

I would say both. The problem for the Dems is no one gives a shit about whether Comey, Clapper, and other old white Deep State assholes get procedural charges sending them to prison. The nation has even moved on from the Clintons.

Protecting Deep State apparatchiks is simply not a popular move and the new left wants them out anyway so they can seize power in the Dems internal civil war.

Obama would be the main issue and even there, Shit Midas has lost his connection with the people. Thus, the Nixon treatment as an unindicted co conspirator is not going to move people to the streets like even a George Floyd did.

The South Park creators use the same lawyer who was the sugar daddy lawyer and confidante of Hunter Biden. So no, the South Park crew aren't courageous, brave, nor even funny to me. Same with Epstein friend Groening and the Simpsons. Apparently his hygiene was so bad that even Epstein's hired help could not deal with it.

321 There's 2 different women pictured here, one much older than the smiley faced young child. And that is the only interesting facet.

322 316 A bit singular is 12.5 cents? Off to look up origin of two bits.

Peso- peices of eight. Two bits was one quarter. At the time the phrase was coined (SWIDT?) a peso and a dollar were of roughly equal value.

323 Wanted to be Caravaggio, but he wasn't. The painting is a monstrosity.

325 The artist is obviously superb. The lighting on the clothing is striking, the musician is perfectly represented to capture the emotion of the moment, and the young lady's bodily posture is perfectly described.
But...
The young lady's head and ear behind the face is oriented further into the background behind her face. He face is oriented more toward us which is the first oddity. The second oddity is her face which is not of the same artistic craftmanship as the rest of the painting.
IMHO, this indicates that her face was added later, not by the same artist, or the artist was in a state of decline when it was changed.

326 A roemer is a wine glass with bulbous top and thick hollow stem covered with buttons for better grip by hands greasy from eating without cutlery. Often included in high class paintings, sometimes the stem is wrapped in gold. Terbrugghen not a first class talent ...
