Mid-Morning Open Thread
Gerbrand van den Eeckhout It just occurred to me why I enjoy the Dutch masters so much; their work exudes a warmth, not necessarily from the subjects (these guys need to relax and imbibe!), but from the colors and the contrast. By the way, my original choice for this fine morning after the storm was an El Greco depicting Christ driving the traders from the temple. I recently saw it at The National Gallery in London, and it was spectacular. But I could not find a reproduction that did it justice. Even on the museum's own website was a poor, sad facsimile of a glorious and energetic painting. The moral of the story is: Get thee to a museum! I'm not sure why museums get such a bad rap, although it is at least in part because many of us were dragged to them as kids and were forced to treat them as cathedrals, where one speaks in hushed tones and all must be reverent at all times, worshiping at the altar of great art. That's crap. I have had the opportunity to wander through a large number of museums around the world, often alone (the best way!), and I have found that the best way to enjoy art is to look at the stuff that piques my interest and just glance at the stuff that doesn't. So what if you don't like what the art historians say is great. The real crap has been filtered out by history and collectors over the centuries (that's why there is so much absolute shit modern art), so it's a fair bet that most of what is in the museum is going to be at the very least a reasonably good piece. So...what caught my eye in this piece? The little mutant bat-like dog in the lower left corner. I got a chuckle out of it, then looked at the rest of the painting and immediately thought of a cobloggers meeting just before the first bottle is opened. Art may be great, but that doesn't mean that it has to be serious. By all means look at the weird animals and finely formed racks and weird feet and cool weapons and great sunsets and strange, six-fingered hands and.... You get the point.

I cannot agree with you more, CBD. I was amazingly blessed to live and study in Paris when I was much younger than 29. After class, I would stop by the Louvre on the way home, because I found a section with Greek and Roman statuary that very few people ever bothered to look at. It was peaceful, and the carved marble was absolutely breathtaking.
I got to know the security guard who worked that section, since I was one of the very few people he ever saw (his words.) He would take the time to talk about how the museum procured those pieces, how they cared for them, and who the curators thought did the actual carving. I got amazing history lessons, just because I bothered to show up.
When you live life staring at a phone all day, it's hard to do that.

Such a cost would increase the state's $44 billion operating budget by more than half.
The analysis, drafted by the state's Department of Legislative Services and released to The Baltimore Sun, said Maryland would have to levy a 10 percent payroll tax against every business and charge a $2,800 fee for every man, woman and child to pay for a new health care system in which doctors bill the state instead of private insurance companies.

That wasn't a joke, btw. China said no more, and now the United States has absolutely no market for recyclables that were already essentially zero-market to begin with:
qz dot com -
"we used to have just one big bin at our depots, and you threw all the plastics in there, and we just baled it and shipped it to China," he said. "Now we have to sort it by the specific resin, so we have four or five bins instead of one."
For every ton of reusable plastic, China has received many more tons of random trash, some of it toxic. That has helped build "trash mountains" so high they sometimes bury people alive
---
The caring, concerned recycling advocates were having trucks drive around to collect their trash, then shipping that trash thousands of miles by f*cking boat (one of if not the biggest polluters) to be piled up in China where they either stack it up because who cares or burn it for fuel.
IIRC China burns something like 40% of their trash, btw. Poof!

Some of the best conversations I've had in a museum are with the security guards. They are there all the time, they hear all the guides talks. They are looking at the works everyday and probably think about it a lot. And they know where are hidden gems are. One guy in the Art Gallery of Ontario was able to point me to a great little exhibit of WWI posters.

The rational, efficient, and cost effective way to dispose of flammable trash (much of it, especially plastics and paper products) is to run it through a shredder, then put it in nat-gas fired furnaces, where the resulting heat of combustion is used to run steam-powered electric turbines which put electricity back on the grid. But oooh, noooo, that will make CO2 and that will make the oceans rise 200 feet and give Kevin Costner fish gills, so we can't have that.

The wealthy liberal donor, who was an early supporter of Obama's 2008 presidential run, told The Times that Obama was "actually my greatest disappointment," before he was reportedly prompted by an aide to clarify that he was dissatisfied on a "professional level," rather than with his presidency.
At another part of the interview, he told the paper that Obama "closed the door" on him after he secured the presidency.
Soros, who was an early supporter of Obama in 2008, said the former president was his "greatest disappointment."
"He made one phone call thanking me for my support, which was meant to last for five minutes, and I engaged him, and he had to spend another three minutes with me, so I dragged it out to eight minutes," he said.
Soros told the paper the he had hoped to have been consulted on economic and financial issues, and that Obama was known to "take his supporters for granted and to woo his opponents."

Most of what I do is simply sketches and studies, usually on the train or at lunch, only a handful of "finished" works.
And none are of any quality that I would be proud of showing.

And then campaigned on "his healthcare" plan but said that we should ask Congress what the plan was--while adopting a fully hatched plan from lobbyists and think tanks.

security guards. They are there all the time, they hear all the guides
talks.
Absolutely.
As a young pup I took all the money I had and went to Europe for four months. As I made my way to Florence (my first ever visit) I read Stone's The Agony And The Ecstasy, which includes a listing of places where you can see all of Michelangelo's known works. Stone recommended asking the guard at the Medici Chapel to let you downstairs to see where Michelangelo hid out during the Holy Roman Empire's invasion, and where he practiced in charcoal some drawings that were later executed in Rome at the Sistine Chapel. Nowadays it's on the regular tour and a few are let in at a time and only for a few minutes, but in those days it was just a basement room and at the whim of the guard you could sit for as long as you wanted, all alone.
The guard that day not only let me go downstairs but walked along with me for a bit and pointed out some of the best parts. Then he left me to contemplation, just me and Michelangelo's art. No ropes, no anything at all. It was the best single experience in a "museum" I've ever had.

As to museums, I miss them but no longer go places where I can't be armed unless there is no choice. Personal decision. Otherwise I could happily wander through the National Gallery in DC.
I wouldn't waste my time with a modern art museum if only because of the patrons, who take the joy out of the whole place. Many years ago I visited modern art exhibit that featured a Jean Miro work: "Hair Pursued by 2 Planets". A constant stream of visitors marched by, nodding as if at something profound. When I got to see it I burst out in helpless laughter which echoed through a couple of galleries. I had to sit on a bench until I got over the giggles. My girl friend was embarrassed and the patrons looked outraged but said nothing. (It helps to be the size of an NFL lineman.) All those hundreds of viewers and nobody else saw the absurdity.
Here is a good sized painting consisting of splotches of green and yellow paint, a squiggle and two black dots. The squiggle and dots were the hair and planets. I know nothing about Miro but this thing had to be a joke. If it wasn't a joke, that is funny, and pathetic, as well.
That's the last time I wasted time with a modern art exhibit.

The caring, concerned recycling advocates were having trucks drive around to collect their trash, then shipping that trash thousands of miles by f*cking boat (one of if not the biggest polluters) to be piled up in China where they either stack it up because who cares or burn it for fuel.

A couple of points: ships are one of the most efficient means of transport in terms of fuel used per ton of goods transported. So not really "dirty" in terms of emissions, even if they have Diesel engines with no emission controls at all.
two, plastic is just refined petroleum, so the best way to "recycle" it would be to simply burn it as fuel in a power plant.

The difference between Hader and Michael Richards is that this is something Hader did when he was 17. Someone he went to HS with was sitting with these tweets waiting to send them out at the "right" moment - when Hader was pitching in an ASG. In today's world, that makes a vengeful little twerp a hero.
Hader was dumb for not deleting the tweets (he probably forgot about them).

Trump is mediocre, says the Affirmative Action Harvard Law graduate who failed the Illinois bar exam, was fired from her one and only job practicing law (as a junior associate at Sidley & Austin), and had to depend on her husband to get her political patronage, make-work jobs where she basically got a paycheck because of who her husband was.
Trump is just a billionaire real estate developer and successful reality t.v. show producer. His meager accomplishments can't compare to those of the vastly superior Michelle Obama, who'd likely be flipping burgers or working behind a cash register in some mall in South Chicago if the metrosexual Barry Obama had not felt he needed to marry a black woman to advance his political career.

nothing he could have done or said that was going to make them give him

All he is doing is playing into the deliberate misconception that if someone makes $20 million a year, that money is just sitting in their checking account waiting to be spent.

The
propaganda isn't really aimed at the people who voted for Trump. It's
to turn out people who don't typically vote while discouraging R voters
in general. I think it's a minor miracle (and encouraging) that Trump
still has 44%.

I think everyone is missing my point. Even with the constant 24/7 attacks by every liberal and every single media outlet and half of his own party, Trump still has the same approval numbers that obama had at the same point in his Presidency. And obama had constant 24/7 positive coverage by everyone on the left and half of the gop.
Let that sink in for a moment.
If Trump were covered with anything approaching half of the positive press that obama got, his approval numbers would be in the high 60's.

That you divide the world up into essentially your strong supporters, your leaners, your undecideds, your leaners against, and strong opponents. (there were more clever descriptive names). And the mission of your info op is to move everyone one step closer to you.
You aren't going to get your Trigglypuffs to support you, but if you can move from strong oppo to leaner, you have done something because maybe, just maybe the leaner won't go to the polls if its raining or too cold or whatever.
So, no, the propaganda isn't going to flip voters. It isn't meant to. But that doesn't mean it doesn't do anything.

=======
When my first born was six months old, wife who is MD based upon the signs and symptoms were 98% sure kid had a brain tumor. Had to wait a week for the MRI to confirm or rebut. It was a hard week.
Turned out to not be a brain tumor. He had something else, that wasn't fatal. Has a lot of challenges but he enjoys his life and I enjoy him.
He's had over a dozen surgeries on his spine, has severe autism, but in comparison to watching him die from a brain tumor, every day since has been a gift. His siblings also have special needs. Its all good compared to what it could have been. I'm the luckiest guy I know since I don't take anything for granted.
I remember holding the little guy in my arms and thinking that there was a overwhelming probability that he was going to die from a brain tumor and thanking God for the six months I had with him up to that point and that if even if he was being taken away early I was tremendously thankful for the opportunity to be his father for that short time. A lot of guys never get that today.
It can always be worse. And someone, likely on this board has had it even worse. The whole experience turned me back to God and the greatest joy I have is going to Mass with my first born. He loves going with me. Loves it. Its hard to do for a lot of reasons I won't go into here, but when we can't make it. He reads the mass to me. Yep he can read. For a long time we thought he would never TALK.
This is for anyone out there who is in the middle of having a tough time. I hope it helps somebody.

The trust in media is at an all-time low. People believe what they want to believe. I've heard too many times before that "This thing is the thing that will finish Trump for good!" If the economy is good and (big if) the Stupid Party doesn't shoot itself in the ass too much, I think the midterms will be a big disappointment for the Dems.

He then claims Strauss leaned against him and had an erection.
Nothing happened ,although Strauss left the university in 1998. Appaarently, the letter was still on file with OSU and Perkins Coie has it.
Strauss at that time was no longer with the athletic department , but was a emeritus or adjunct MD within the Student Health system.
I'm not sure why this is pertinent, but said student made sure the paper knew he was conflicted about his sexuality at the time and has since decided he is gay. He is a LGBT advocate, married a guy , etc.
He says he believes Strauss was mentally ill, but is angry that no one at OSU took his claims seriously, that they protected him, blah blah.
I bring this up because the left is going to continue to use this, along with their partners at Perkins Coie. I am not convinced that Perkins Coie didn't plant this document among the thousands of files OSU gave them after working with this guy. Would be interesting to find out his connection to them.
More attacks coming on Jim Jordan , you can bet.

Agreed with your sentiments. My "Sophie's Choice" has made it hard for me to fathom organized religion any more. I believe, but I don't expect to ever understand why I had to make the decision for my daughter that I had to make. No amount of sermons of "Why do bad things happen to good people" ease my pain/heartache, or my daughters actual physical pain. I have never found any consolation in the phrase, "Well some people have it worse, be thankful". I get it; some people have a bigger shit sandwich to eat, but it's still a shit sandwich. But it was God's path for me. Wheeeee!
