62 My assessment: The artist had a lot of black paint, was a cheapskate who decided to use some of it it before buying other paints, and was pretty good at depicting people but lousy at depicting rain.

There's an old Punch cartoon from the early 1900s that shows a mother gesturing to the governess and telling her daughter to kiss her goodnight.

"I won't," says the daughter. "She slaps people's faces when they try to kiss her."

"Oh, such nonsense!"

"It's true, Mama. Just ask Papa."

121 A lot of Western Europe, even aside from the Scandinavian countries, is at pretty high latitudes. Winnipeg is at the same latitude. Europe gets the Gulf Stream for warmth, but if it didn't it would be pretty wintry most of the year.

Yep. For context, Ceuta in northern Morocco is about the same latitude as Memphis, TN.

Just about everything in Europe is north of Memphis, in other words.

136 The painting is evocative of a mood, just not an interesting scene. Not sure where you would hang it at home although it would do well in an exhibit. But I like the style with its detail, use of color, and how it captures a slow rainy day.

I looked at some of his other paintings on his Wiki page. I am impressed, especially his landscapes. He manages to give that glow like a Maxfield Parrish painting. I suspect polynikes would like his style. (Wild guess on my part.)

On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

I often think of this as I watch the hummingbirds flit about our honeysuckle arbor."

I like it. Captures the current and recent past summers in SE PA. Hot and humid, absolutely miserable unless one can escape... perhaps to the shore or Pocono mountains. (Pass on the latter if relatively normal).

The artist has a lovely and extensive body of work.

Wikipedia, in part: Santiago Rusiñol, (Spanish: Barcelona 25 February 1861 – Aranjuez 13 June 1931) was a Spanish painter, poet, journalist, collector and playwright. He was one of the leaders of the Catalan modernisme movement. [2] He created more than a thousand paintings and wrote numerous works in Spanish and Catalan.

It makes one problem go away but it amplifies the political and social one which involves "you are what you think you are and society is forced to bow down" - otherwise they might send the wrong message to "the children".

Imagine the WNBA telling a boy he's in fact not a girl because he doesn't have the requisite parts? Indoctrination evaporates. What a palaver.

Yeah it’s hard to be far away from a city in Europe. Like even major cities are practically suburbs of each other . For example Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Bonn which are thought of as 4 cities in Germany are basically one metro area With a lot of “villages” in between that are just suburbs.

231 Comment from Reddit on a discussion about density.

“ US is very poorly managed in rural areas.

Here in Switzerland the small villages in the middle of nowhere have everything and are an amazing place to live. I have 10gbit fiber internet, train, bus, poste office, school, restaurants and a super market in a village of 1000 habitants in the middle of a valley away from the cities.”

This guy thinks having internet, a school, a supermarket and some restaurants in a small town doesn’t exist in the US. Lol

Remember those videos of Europeans being shocked by American during the World Cup? We need a lot more of them.

Because almost all major U.S. airports are publicly owned by city or regional governments, the airport management governs the leases, footprint, and policies of the chapel. They treat chapels as leased or designated operational spaces, not self-governing sanctuaries.

Because airports are nonpublic forums, airport authorities regularly step in to regulate or alter chapel use based on safety, crowd control, and structural neutrality.

Legally, the doors cannot be locked or restricted to exclude the public, thus U.S. Rep. Chip Roy's inquiry.

While a chapel may be located deep past a TSA checkpoint, the space itself remains entirely under the jurisdiction of the municipal airport authority, which balances travelers' religious freedom with terminal safety and operational flow.

TSA's only involvement is ensuring that anyone entering a chapel located on the airside (post-security) has been successfully screened.
