98 Interesting painting. The soldiers in the background point toward a WW I date but the civilian refugees cold be from any time period. There is a feel of a Biblical event in the way are dressed. Perhaps it's a statement about the cost of war. The soldiers are exhausted. The people are just figures, undistinguished, almost cloned, and carrying whatever they could gather quickly. They are trudging one way as the army moves the other, presumably toward battle. The ruined house is lit as if by flames. The colors Eby used are dull except for the scarf on the old man leading the refugees. He is the only one not bowed. Perhaps he has been through this before. He reminds me of Moses leading the slaves out of Egypt.

Not a happy, patriotic theme but in keeping with much of the poetry that came out of that war, lamenting the waste and loss.

With all the recent talk from our government of in Europe about prepping for difficulties, natural or manmade, today's art selection seems appropriate.

Kerr Eby (19 October 1889 – 18 November 1946) was a Canadian illustrator best known for his renderings of soldiers in combat in the First and Second World Wars. He is held in a similar regard to Harvey Dunn and the other famous illustrators dispatched by the government to cover the First World War.

I was trying to figure out how many cops are black - the short answer is that they are at parity with general population in overall police forces, and are somewhat overrepresented in state & local police forces, and significantly underrepresented in federal police forces.

But in the process of figuring this out, I obviously needed to know "what percentage of US cops are federal cops?"

Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal

On Wednesday morning, two high-speed trains run by separate companies (Iryo and Renfe) crashed outside Toledo, Spain, the historic city known for its legendary steel. Over 500 people were packed onto the two trains.

As of 9:30 a.m. EST, the death toll stood at 64, and this number seems to still be rising.

More details from The U.S. Sun:

According to officials, one high-speed train collided with the rear of another service that had stopped on the line.

The high-speed impact knocked two carriages of the stationary train off the rails.

The accident involved a train from Spain‘s state-owned RENFE company and the Italian-owned private rail company, IRYO.

It appeared the RENFE train rammed the IRYO train, Spanish media reported.

I was trying to figure out how many cops are black - the short answer is that they are at parity with general population in overall police forces, and are somewhat overrepresented in state & local police forces, and significantly underrepresented in federal police forces.

But in the process of figuring this out, I obviously needed to know "what percentage of US cops are federal cops?"

It's 18 fuckin' percent. 18.

235 Guardian:

For those of us who have spent our lives trying to dismantle this endlessly destructive paradigm of patriarchy, it has become increasingly clear in recent months that something more terrifying is afoot.

The wheels are off the cart. We are in the midst of a chaotic, demented acceleration of the most violent and cruel aspects of this system which has evolved into what I am calling Psychopatriarchy.

Psychopatriarchy is a reaction, a backlash against the progress we have made on all fronts: women’s rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, workers rights, trans rights etc.

It has birthed an authoritarian fascist reality, poisoning our social and psychological environment with terrorizing violence, cruelty and precarity. It has consolidated the billionaire class who are driven by the mindset summed up in the slogan “move fast and break things.” Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.

241 I'm working on my projects and just came across a painting called Madame X.

John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925). Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) (detail), 1883–84. Oil on canvas; 82 1/8 x 43 1/4 in. (208.6 x 109.9 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Arthur Hoppock Hearn Fund, 1916 (16.53)

Throughout his early years in Paris, Sargent built his reputation by convincing friends and notable members of fashionable society to pose for him and then exhibiting these works at the Paris Salon. This is the case with Madame X, his most famous portrait. She was Virginie Avegno Gautreau (1859–1915), an expatriate from Louisiana who was married to a French banker.

She was a familiar figure in Parisian society, known for her artful appearance, which she accentuated with dramatic cosmetics and clothing. The ambitious young Sargent was fascinated by her and undertook the portrait without a commission, hoping to enhance his reputation.

Of course, the painting was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon in 1884. Viewers and critics found the portrait offensive, ugly, and eccentric, and Gautreau and her mother begged Sargent to remove the painting from the exhibition.

Neat.

Their comprehensive effort to keep illegal aliens on the voter lists is just one small part of the effort. I suspect much more is going on based on some of the states SoS actions.

The only way we beat this is massive turnout on Election Day that makes it statistically implausible to steal a lot of the seats in play.

I believe they used that as a leaning experience. They are also actively trying to hide their activities based on DoJ actions and plans to monitor the election process in certain districts. I sense there will be a lot of questionable activity, especially where seats are competitive. I have zero confidence, based on the past, that courts will grant any relief, or that relief will be too little too late. The courts have become compromised leftist cesspools. I hope I am wrong btw.

309 Ironically the one time the cheat machine went somewhat dormant was 2016. They were so confident they’d win in a blowout there was no urgency. Detroit and Philly still did their 102% turnout thing but it wasn’t a massive national cheat machine operation. In 2020 they corrected course and went all out.

312 Irish authorities have raised concerns about the possible trafficking of 22 Somali children who arrived in Ireland unaccompanied, highlighting growing scrutiny of the risks facing vulnerable young migrants entering the country.

The Irish Examiner, reporting on October 20, cited figures from Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency, which notified An Garda Síochána, the national police service, of concerns about the potential trafficking of 35 children during the year. Somalis accounted for 22 of those cases, the largest national group identified in the notifications. The figures indicate concerns about possible trafficking, not confirmation that every child was trafficked.

Tusla sought an order for a 14-year-old girl that gardaí believed was being subjected to "horrifying" sexual exploitation by multiple men, according to The Irish Times.

Tusla was seeking a special-care order for the girl, but told the court it was currently unable to provide her with a bed in any of its three special-care units.
