39 Good morning. No art for me today, but tomorrow we go to Lisbon for one last day in Portugal before coming home. Going to the military museum, some old Church my wife wants to see and the "second largest aquarium in Europe" which I just found out existed. Leaving at 7 am by high-speed "tilt train" (whatever that is) should be in Lisbon by 10.

60 This is one of those pieces where -- when you're zoomed in -- it's apparent that the artist has tremendous skill and patience in rendering the fine detail, but then when you take a step back, it still manages to look... off.

A quick ironing will remove the wrinkles, and fool your guests into thinking you live a picturesque life every day, instead of haphazardly pulling shit out of the panty at the last minute.

Posted by: Martha Stewart at October 17, 2025 09:47 AM (ycI94)

66 It's a pleasant still life painting with the realistic shapes and proportions and use of color. The props are certainly appropriate for the subject: antiques and nostalgia with the dated cross stitch and even the candle wick trimmer. It is all very competent. But it has that 20th century subdued feel. It lacks the vibrancy of still life paintings from earlier times. Andrew Wyeth can make that approach work with his subtle style and hints of deeper meaning. This would be better as a photograph than a painting.

Having something visually nice and well-balanced with an interesting combination of objects is just plain pleasing to have on your walls.

And difficult to find good ones, so not "low hanging fruit".

To each his own but still life’s were done by artists as sort of a study tool to hone their skill of light and shadow. Not low hanging fruit but something all artists think they need to do at least once. Like a self portrait.

Posted by: There. Now it's a movie thread at October 17, 2025 09:57 AM (SeSfo)

110 BREAKING! Taylor Swift is evil!

What I want to talk about here are the criticisms that The Life of a Showgirl is a bit of a magnum opus of white supremacy. Because I neither completely agree with this take (people are saying this is a dog whistle for far-right extremism; I think that’s taking it thirteen steps too far), nor do I disagree with it (as throngs of white Swifties come out of the woodwork screaming in defense of Swift’s purity).
I think it’s complicated.
More so, I think that within that complexity is a more insidious (and therefore, more terrifying) problem: liberal white women’s ignorance of their own whiteness.
Is Taylor Swift racist? Yes.
Is she actively, explicitly anti-Black? a Trump supporter? pro-eugenics? I doubt it.
But that’s actually what worries me more: that there are so many liberal white women who move through the world never making connections between their whiteness and white supremacy.

Joe Dante made a TV movie for HBO called The Second Civil War.

It portrays an America of the future so balkanized but modified that warfare is breaking out everywhere.

The funniest bits are an Indian guy with an American name as governor of a New England state being interviewed and calling for America only for the Americans and when Los Angeles breaks out into a race war between blacks and hispanics.

It's really an unsung gem of Dante's career, and it's all on YouTube.

It's also good to have reminders of how deranged and evil some of them are, and we know what they'll do to us if they regain unfettered power, so we can prepare accordingly.

267 Don Lemon and those talented tenth that think they can run a race war are inherently stupid if they think that a coalition of color is going to run by blacks. Hispanics outnumber blacks nowadays and Asians are the fastest growing minority group.

Posted by: whig at October 17, 2025 10:45 AM (WDjG6)

That's my point.

The Armchair Race War generals have no clue how race relations run in the trenches, and the last thing that would happen would be a racial unification against an 80/20 supported idea that America is for Americans first.

Shooting starts, and you're going to have a lot of airing of grievances between races before you even get people to listen to your pet causes.

And newsflash for cocksucker Lemon: His backyard will be ablaze long before and after mine. That's just demographics. Fool.

A fairly large percentage of fake accounts are Russian, Ukrainians, Chinese, Indian, Pakistan, and Iranian, with a sprinkling of Norks. Then you have the domestic side of commercial influencing agencies--AI version of Rent a Crowd.

Basically with bot crawlers, one can almost immediately target and amplify or refute individual human posts with ruthless efficiency. Much better than the older notify services where one is notified when their nic, interests, etc. on a blog are targeted.

294 No Kings Day/Women's March
Why we wear Yellow, Historical Context

Hong Kong protestors carried yellow umbrellas as act of protest, turning an everyday object into a vivid icon of peaceful resistance against violence and suppression.

Asia yellow ribbons become emblems of hope, accountability, and systemic reform after South Korea's Sewal ferry tragedy, yellow ribbons evolved from memorial tokens into protest symbols demanding government transparency and justice.

Eastern Ukraine the "Yellow Ribbon" movement reclaimed the color as a signal of resistance and national self-determination amid invasion.

By choosing yellow, we align ourselves with this historical context: It is a visible optimistic banner that carries the weight of democratic struggle, nonviolent dissent, and a reminder that power must stem from the people, not from crowns.
