25 The artwork intricately depicts a coastal scene with a fine layer of pebbles covering the ground. In the foreground lies a smoldering piece of driftwood, surrounded by what appears to be the remnants of a lobster meal – distinguished by the vivid red shells scattered among the coals. Smoky tendrils rise from the embers, trailing upwards and blending seamlessly into the sky above, which is subtly rendered in muted tones. The seascape in the background features calm, dark waters, creating a stark contrast with the bright and detailed elements on the shore. The overall composition evokes a sense of quiet aftermath and contemplative solitude.

39 Thanks folks for the prayers but say a prayer for all those afflicted with illness, job loss, family troubles, victims of crimes.

Lots of people hurting in society and the Lord hears all those appeals made by believers to lead us one by one to a better world.

There are people far worse off and deserving of more sympathy than I right now, many of which are just not talking about their problems online.

40 The Art story-
"Embers" is a painting by Andrew Wyeth created in 2000, depicting a coastal scene with a smoldering piece of driftwood and remnants of a lobster meal, symbolizing the passage of time and the remnants of life."

42 The shipwrecked survivor worked tirelessly to catch some lobster and craft a small fire to cook it upon. After which, during the glow of realizing he just might survive this ordeal, he first learned that he was violently allergic to shellfish.

44 As much as I like both artists I never understood the point when Wyeth or Van Gogh painted mundane objects except as a painting exercise.

Van Gogh has a number of paintings of shoes, chairs , dead sunflowers , tree roots, rocks and as with Wyeth , a couple of crustaceans.

63 It's funny. When catching crab or lobster, one uses smelly chicken or fish that has gone off-the smellier the better. They might eat it in the trap for days. Yet we have no qualms about eating the crustacean that has been eating stuff that would make us sick or kill us. We don't eat buzzards, BTW.

4 more years of Labour going nutso, bringing in every Syrian the Foreign Services can find to replace white Britons in every small hamlet so that every town fete looks like a Middle East casbah while also ramping up taxes on the "rich" farmers, will solve that.

Fortunately we have shortcuts in behavior observation and, as a first pass, stereotypes, which can be used as a rough heuristic while we are taking in behavioral observations.

Michelle Obama: "Black female beauty is so powerful, we are owed respect"

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks"

This idea that certain people must be respected has bothered me for a while. Everybody, including strangers, is owed courtesy, at least until they act in a manner showing it is not deserved. Respect is earned over time by your deeds and character. Nobody is owed respect merely for existing. The demand for it is just another way to lord over the commoners.

Pirates? Where's the rum?

Artnet com -
Andrew Wyeth
(American, 1917–2009)

In part, "While his work has been deemed melancholic, the artist preferred to describe it as thoughtful. “I think anything like that—which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone—people always feel is sad,” he once reflected."

(Above was written in relationship to another painting but does seem to relate to much of Andrew's work.)

I adore much of the Wyeths' work but as I cannot cook live lobsters, crabs, octopus, etc. I'd pass hanging this particular painting.

258 I kinda feel for NYers and Seattleites. My city voted in a real piece of work for mayor. It was a 3 way race and he won with 40% of the vote. All this with turnout of 32%.

So basically 12% of eligible voters voted for him.

And I suspect that’s the case with a lot of mayor races in these off year elections.

Had the election been last year, this piece of shit would have maybe got 15%. But because the right stays home in elections in odd years, people like him? And Mamdani and the socialist in Seattle win easily.

264 It would be fun to write a little satire story about a movie production where the main cast goes absolutely insane and eventually takes the entire production crew hostage. Producer tries to shut down the set, and they literally put a gun to his head and demand he keep filming. Their demands become increasingly unhinged and impossible to meet. No movie ever gets made.

Hi TJM,

Saw your latest.

I'll disagree on your Scorsese fave (which is unpopular).

"Bringing Out the Dead" is my Scorsese fave.

It's an excellent flick that also has all/most of Scorsese's big themes and concerns wrapped into the plot, characters and action, which is how I like movies/novels to operate. Instead, of posting "didja geddit?" moments as he is sometimes want to do.

If you've never seen it give it a whirl.

Actually, the opossum is the rat 2.0. I was in my German overengineering phase, and thought "what if I took the rat, but made it bigger, and it could climb trees, and had a prehensile tail?"

301 "Bringing Out the Dead" is my Scorsese fave.

It's an excellent flick that also has all/most of Scorsese's big themes and concerns wrapped into the plot, characters and action, which is how I like movies/novels to operate. Instead, of posting "didja geddit?" moments as he is sometimes want to do.

If you've never seen it give it a whirl.

Oh, I've seen 'em all. And I love Bringing Out the Dead. I call it his Michael Bay movie, in the most endearing and loving terms. I have the limited edition 4K from Paramount, even.

Do check out Silence, though.

Everyone should watch Silence.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, seeing life through the shadows with Otto Preminger at November 13, 2025 10:51 AM (GBKbO)

"Silence" is excellent.

Both the movie and the novel.

I prefer the novel over the movie but really you can't go wrong with either.

Glad there's someone out there besides me that likes "Bringing Out the Dead".

Isn't that the very definition of fascism - where the state doesn't seize the businesses, it simply appoints itself the manager of them without bearing any of the costs when they fail?

309 264 It would be fun to write a little satire story about a movie production where the main cast goes absolutely insane and eventually takes the entire production crew hostage. Producer tries to shut down the set, and they literally put a gun to his head and demand he keep filming. Their demands become increasingly unhinged and impossible to meet. No movie ever gets made. The cast all dies at the end. Violently.

When I was reading up on that, the more I read the more I was like, "what the hell is this thing".
We might understand more about mammalian cladistics if more of those other Mesozoic-era offshoots survived, like the multituberculates. Platypus is like a tumor on the lowest part of a grand oak, beneath the actual branches.

Don't mix tequila and psychedelics. Even God would have a bad trip on that. Ask me how I know.
