74 Not a painting I would hang but I would spend time in a gallery looking at. Another late 20th century artist who can do nice, accurate and realistic detail with natural colors and good perspective. It has a feel of Edward Hopper influenced by Andrew Wyeth. Which is fine just not outstanding. The most appealing aspect is the woman. She is completely relaxed and comfortable while enjoying a warm, sunny day. It's peaceful. And for my tastes, I like the her figure is natural, not some Barbie doll hard body. She isn't on display, just comfortable.

"Jane Doe" of Cornell Seven fame is acting out IRL the role of Alex Forrest, the bunny boiler, from "Fatal Attraction".

It is easy to see her, enraged, and speaking out, "I will not be ignored, boys!" when she was disinvited from that frat's Halloween party.

135 A small matter of amusement. (Or maybe I'm just easily amused this morning.) As a group, women are stereotypically obsessed with clothes and fashion.

I would 100% agree with you but I do have an example of a French woman that did do personal grooming. Our CEO's admin assistant had taken boudoir photos and printed them at our office on the nice color printer we have. When she left the company, she left the photos behind in a folder. Left no doubt on grooming. She calls herself a True Renaissance Woman.

Quantus seems to be one of the pollsters who does try to get things right.

And they're herding to slight favorite Republican in a deeply Republican state, but still within the margin of error so if Paxton wins by 5 they're still right.

This has been a known issue with pollsters for literally years, and more pollsters are coming out in the final weeks of the election season to admit it.

Said she went to xxx's birthday party (first name of my wife). I replied "She passed away last year. Sorry, don't remember you."
She replied back, I'm confused...isn't this yyy's contact? I replied, "well, if it's my wife's aunt yyy, she's passed away too."
She says, "Oh, I'm sorry". I write back, "That's okay. Have a nice day."
Then, tried to befriend me. "You are a funny and kind person...My name is zzz. What's your name?"
I reply, "That's okay, I'm old and sick and don't need anymore friends."

248 Secrets II (1968-1969)
Dimensions: Overall: 63 × 66 3/4 in.

Paul Wiesenfeld, 1942-1990, an American realist painter who created comprehensive interior scenes and portraits.

His son wrote, "In my memory I see my father, Paul Wiesenfeld (1942 – 1990), sitting at the edge of one room on a block of wood no more than 20 cm off the floor with a palette in one hand and several brushes in the other and studying intently the interior of another room. This room is in stark contrast to the rest of the apartment with its varying degrees of chaos and dishevelment. It is impeccable, if one overlooks the fine layer of dust, everything in it is there for a purpose, participating in a web of complex visual relationships, set up to create an image of beauty."

Everything in this painting was exactly placed to tell the story. Note the Secrets magazine on the table.

Reportedly, Secrets was a long-running true confession, romance, and narrative pulp magazine (such as the March 1960 and May 1960 issues) that featured first-person relationship stories and dramatic tales.

Interesting, but would pass hanging it.

The way partisans object to their party's candidate they don't want to vote for is that they don't vote. This is how the "independent" vote shifts most. There are immaterial numbers of people who actually change their party vote every other race.

The Texas house is 150 members. 85 R, 65 D was the breakdown. There were 20+ Rs that would rotate 11 members to kill conservative initiatives. That impeachment had those shitbags all voting to impeach. Almost all of them lost their primaries.

Dockworkers in 21 countries staged strikes and demonstrations on Friday at 113 ports across five continents, protesting the use of commercial ports for military purposes.

Under the slogan "We don't work for war," more than 25 dockworkers' trade unions took part in the International Day of Action, demanding that ports serve people's needs rather than military operations, according to 902, the Communist Party of Greece's news portal."

TJM is correctly summarizing decades of research. Partisans just don't vote when they don't like their party's candidate. Sometimes, they vote third party or writein for a race. True independents that do not have a partisan lean are roughly 5-8 percent of the voters, mebbe less nowadays due to party polarization but they are also less likely to vote in midterms.

Maybe they could call the public SpaceX.... something like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration!

Umm... There's a reason why SpaceX exists and all the progress into space is in a private company, bonehead.

337 When I get local spam calls, with real people who are in the state, I tend to try to recruit them to work for the Department of Revenue, or Employment, or Consumer and Business Services, on the theory that anyone who is willing to do cold calls for a living has all the skills to be a phone agent for the state.

One is they will get a better job with benefits instead of a laptop and promises, the second is that I hate their employers like poison and this is the only way I can damage them, by recruiting away their best employees.

338 If I pick up a phone call from a number I don't know, I only wait 4 or 5 seconds for the other side to say something...if not, I hang up.
Scammers and spammers have made the old friendly routine of saying "Hello, who's this" so much less polite and friendly. I don't want any recordings of my voice that AI can use to fake me in a spoofed call...

Smart. The 4-5 seconds of silence affects scammer software which dial multiple phone numbers at the same time to get the 'hit'. Silence means that some other poor sucker got 'hit' rather than you and you did not confirm to the scammers that they got a live number.

Another way, dunno if they still make it, was a fax tone generator used to answer the phone to ward off scammers.

=======
The scuttlebutt of Arkansan inside politicos for a long time during Clinton era of being governor was that Bill was sterile, supposedly from a bad case of mumps as a kid, Webb was the unlucky donor to Killary, and thus Bill could spread his seed broadly without fear of consequences.

He preferred women with husbands at first for his affairs but then moved on to attempting to screw anything not nailed down by the end of his terms as governor.

348 Inquirer dot com, "A Canadian leader's advice on surviving Trump and rebuilding an alliance of democracies"

A column by (lunatic) Trudy Rubin published on October 28, 2026, focusing on Chrystia Freeland, Canada's former Deputy Prime Minister and Member of Parliament, and her newly released book, 'Unreliable Boyfriend: An Insider’s View of Dealing with a Chaotic Superpower, Plutocrats, and Other Complicated People.'

AI Overview: Freeland’s firsthand experience negotiating trade relations with the U.S. (specifically the USMCA). It details the shift of long-time allies into adversaries, the impact of sweeping U.S. tariffs, and the rising power of American billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk compared to Russian oligarchs under Vladimir Putin.

2022 she was photographed helping to hold a red-and-black scarf printed with the patriotic slogans "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine) and "Heroyam Slava" (Glory to the Heroes). She posted the photo on her official social media page.

The red-and-black colors and specific phrasing historically belonged to far-right paramilitary groups that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II and were involved in massacres of Poles & Jews.
