16 Not usually a fan of Russian art, which often seems morose, but I sort of like this one. Obviously, the Cossacks will soon wreck everyone's happiness with a few untimely executions but until then it looks like a fun evening.

37 Party games! As others have said, probably more 'blind man's bluff' than 'hide and seek'. I'm also wondering what's up with that detached square blue and white pillar in the background. But overall, yes, it's beautiful art. I'd love to see it up close in person!

46 This is wonderful. The rich, realistic detail, the natural light flooding the room, each person's expression is individual and reflects the playfulness of the moment (something that reminds me of Rembrandt and Norman Rockwell who did that so effectively), it all combines to create a mood. It is easy to imagine the motion and sound of laughter going on in the room. I especially like the small child reaching for a treat while the adults are distracted with the game. (Priorities, priorities.) The painting reflects family joy with the different generations present. Thoroughly delightful.

I need to see more of this artists work.

49 Hide and Seek, 1890
Konstantin Makovsky

Makovsky was very talented - and today's art selection is also an interesting history lesson - but I would pass on hanging it. Thank you.

AI Overview -
The formal Imperial Russian social hierarchy depicted in Konstantin Makovsky's painting lasted in its fully legally codified form for roughly 130 to 250 years, depending on how its peak era is measured, before being completely abolished in November 1917.

It was abruptly terminated following the Bolshevik Revolution by the Soviet Decree on the Abolition of Estates and Civil Ranks on November 10, 1917.

Loaded the click-to copy in my art program and upped the brightness and contrast. The colors really pop and it's a lot sharper. Like cleaning a layer of dirt off. I wonder which is closer to the original look.

Fenelon,
Thanks for the kind comment. Yes, I enjoy art and just give reasons why I like, or dislike, the painting. Kris is the one who knows what she is talking about. I don't paint. I've mentioned on the hobby thread that I'm trying to learn to sketch with pencil or ink. I have no talent for it but enjoy trying to learn. I am in awe of what painters can do with oils, watercolors or pastels.

Not really but I will say that mindfulness can help. I know it's a thing now and I guess it belongs to Gen Z or whatever but it predates them. Two to five minutes just focusing on the moment and nothing else. What you can physically feel (chair) or smell or hear (background noise). It's like a little reset button.

I like prayer too but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's all I have.

And if none of that works you can always just spread the misery. Nothing is quite as satisfying as pissing someone off who was perfectly content and satisfied until you dragged them down into your muck.

======

I've said for like 20 months that I think the Democrats will barely take the House.

Combination of turnout differentials (out of party voters just vote at higher rates, not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse that) and gerrymandering after the 2020 census that made swing districts an endangered species (the redistricting wars earlier this year made them even more endangered).

Dems take the House by less than 5 seats.

Senate remains in GOP hands.

So, shutdown theater (advantage executive since the president has authority to shift money around in that instance) while we clean out RINOs in the Senate and keep on with appointments. Also, DHS is fully funded through 2028 and DOJ won't slow its roll because of a bare Dem majority in the House.

Thanksgiving is a holiday about genocide, even if it’s a holiday we like now, and I think it’s a pretty good time to connect the dots on how we should guard against normalizing genocide going forward.

She sounds vaccinated.

Again, these people really need to look up the definition of 'genocide.'

They're REALLY using it incorrectly.

188 Side stepping the issue, Sanders emphasized that his primary focus for the 2026 midterms is supporting candidates in federal U.S. House and Senate races.

Sanders occasionally gets involved in state gubernatorial races and state-level politics. In fact, he seemed to adore the last NJ Governor, Phil Murphy, a higher level millionaire with prominent a European estate in Italy, as well as a property in Germany.

Bernie wants the surest thing for his credibility among the cult movement & Congressional leadership.

I’m running for Senate to lower health care costs, to prepare our workforce for the economy of the future, and to protect our free and fair elections. This moment demands forward-looking leadership and a record of getting things done.

I think that this a pretty helpful article, "Better not Bitter" on turning things around. Also, you might consider speaking to some of the supportive community at the church and/or the pastor and joining the men's group if they have one Or starting one if they don't they don't . I have a friend- RC- who has been through a lot and his men's group has been a great blessing to him through the honesty, prayer and support:
