I know Ernst as a Surrealist, but this looks like DADA. Surrealism is an off-shoot of DADA and tried to give order to DADA's chaos.
And that's what this is, an orgy of chaos. There is very little meaning to DADA, if any at all. You either like it or you don't. With DADA, always keep in mind that WWI just ended and these people are trying to deal with and understand what just happened. Also Ernst is German, so he's dealing with the War and its aftermath in that specific way too.

An interesting observation from the sidebar piece on comedy websites' layoffs:
“Facebook has created a centrally designed internet. It’s a lamer, sh*ttier looking internet. It’s just not as cool as an internet that is a big, chaotic space filled with tons of independently operating websites who are able to make a living because they make something cool that people want to see.”

I've never thought about that, but yeah. Facebook has sort of homogenized the internet.

just remember that if they were saying it was "robust", the next sentence would be "that means the Fed has to raise interest rates, to stop this expansion from overheating!!!"
so the numbers are always "bad" no matter what actually happens. For me, I would say slow, steady, but not explosive growth is just about perfect at this point.

I still cringe when I see the domain. It's interesting the parallels--AOL was a "walled garden" before it was cool, then it opened access to the wider Internet and nothing was quite the same. ("Endless September".) Facebook is trying to shove their descendants back into a walled garden, atomized and controlled. Both are leaving their marks everywhere, though in very different ways.

The Elephant Celebes - a limerick
I crossed a robotic elephant albino
With a rather dwarfish subsaharan rhino
I did it on a bet
But if you ask "What'd you get?"
"It's obvious! That's an 'ell if I know!"
Posted by: Muldoon at January 10, 2020 09:57 AM (m45I2)
"Ernst told Roland Penrose that the title Celebes was derived from the opening words of a German schoolboys' rhyme with sexual connotations
The elephant from Celebes
has sticky, yellow bottom grease.
The elephant from Sumatra
always fucks his grandmama.
The elephant from India
can never find the hole ha-ha"
those German schoolboys need a spanking

What an ugly painting! I can't see any meaning to it at all - strange - I've seen plenty of strange art most of which do resonate with me but this one is just wierd and with no message to me at all.
Anyway nightynight everyone and have a great yesterday!

And that's what this is, an orgy of chaos. There is very little meaning to DADA, if any at all. You either like it or you don't. With DADA, always keep in mind that WWI just ended and these people are trying to deal with and understand what just happened. Also Ernst is German, so he's dealing with the War and its aftermath in that specific way too.

The best "explanation" I think is that WW1 made a lot of people believe that the world was now insane, that illogic ruled and that logic was useless. So they felt that their art should be insane and illogical, and that's what this is. You want art that's fun to look at? Well that's just your sane, rational self talking. This art is meant for someone who needs a nice big shot of thorazine, stat.

Then it's working like it's supposed to. DADA is not meant to be understood. It revels in the chaos. It is visual rebellion on purpose, but without purpose. They were horrified by the War and its destruction and they despised the culture that allowed it to happen. They blamed Traditionalism, so they became the anti-Traditionalism. In their manifesto, they refer to themselves as the "Minotaur" a creature in Greek myth that symbolized barbarism. If you are offended or horrified or turned off by DADA then it is working as intended.

Aussie,
Why is it that Australians don't seem to care about having air-conditioning in their homes? At least that's the impression I've got from chatting with other Australians online. And that Strangerland film with Nicole Kidman reinforced it -- her character and her husband are sweating in their home through a lot of the film. (Probably why I never finished watching it.)
How come?

The thing about wanting to convey ugliness and chaos by simply throwing ugliness and chaos onto a canvas:
That's not transformative or transcendant to me, which is my idea of what art is. Voltaire said something once about the work of any great playwright -- his characters should be poets without being depicted as professional poets. He also conveyed a great deal of ugliness and chaos within sparkling dialog and story. Can't say about the language itself since I can't read it in the original Fransh, but I imagine that's also quite delightful for those who know.

I was just thinking about this in regards to movies.
I watched Child 44, which was ugly all the way around (and cut down from 5.5 hours to 2, which made it nearly incomprehensible), and I was thinking of other movies set in Soviet Russia.
I thought of Stalker, by Tarkovsky. It's set in an industrial and nuclear wasteland (it's said that Tarkovsky got cancer during filming), and yet it's beautiful to look at. He found ways to make the ugly setting glorious to simply regard.

CBD, food question for you. Are you aware of a named technique where noodles are cooked properly before being put in a pan and browned to make a solid "cake" almost like hash browns?
I did it accidentally last night with some lo mein noodles. When I saw what happened to the first side I flipped the "cake" over, put some butter in, and browned the other side. And they were fantastic. Even the kids loved them.
I'd love to know if there's a name.

Yeah, that one.
I'd seen another adaptation of the same story (not the book) called Citizen X, which is a smaller, more focused film on the murders themselves.
It's obvious that Child 44 was supposed to be a huge portrait of the awfulness of Soviet life from several directions, one of which was the murders, the investigation, and the denials of the murders' existence. But I have no idea why they wrote a 5.5 hour script and filmed the whole thing. Did they think they were going to get a 5.5 hour movie released?

Regarding the noodle "cake," I'm going to make a soy sauce mixture to pour in the center of it and cover it briefly while all the steam and flavor try to escape. That and some shrimp/chicken/scallops/beef + some vegetables should be pretty tasty.
The buttery browned crust of the noodles was really great, though.

Regarding the art of collage, Ernst said, "It is the systematic exploitation of the coincidental or artificially provoked encounter of two or more unrelated realities on an apparently inappropriate plane and the spark of poetry created by the proximity of these realities."[4]
The central focus of the painting is a giant mechanical elephant. It is round and has a trunk-like hose protruding from it. The figure's round body was modeled after a photograph in an anthropological journal of a clay corn bin from a southern Sudanese culture, the Konkombwa.[5] Celebes suggests "ritual and totemic sculpture of African origin", evidenced by the totem-like pole at right and the figure's bull horns.[2] The painting uniquely combines found imagery and non-Western visual elements.[2]
Ernst's creature has a frilly metallic cuff or collar, and a horned head and tail. The low horizon emphasizes the creature's bulk, and the gesture of the headless mannequin introduces the viewer to the figure. The mannequin wears a surgical glove, a common Surrealist symbol. This nude figure may have a mythological connotation, suggesting the abduction of Europa by Zeus while disguised as a bull.[3] The mostly empty sky contains more incongruities: there are two fish 'flying' at left (one writer considers the scene to be underwater[3]). The black shape to the right of the fish looks like an oncoming airplane, and there is a trail of smoke in the right part of the sky. These may be allusions to the "mechanical terror of the war experience" which led to Ernst writing, 'On the 1st of August 1914 Max Ernst died. He was resurrected on the 11 November 1918 as a young man who aspired to find the myths of his time.'[2] Celebes, then, seems to represent the myth of destruction.[2]
"Celebes" was once the popular name for the island of Sulawesi, one of the Greater Sunda Islands of Indonesia. Ernst told Roland Penrose that the title Celebes was derived from the opening words of a German schoolboys' rhyme with sexual connotations.
That's F'ing deep!!!!!!!!!

DADA. Surrealism is an off-shoot of DADA and tried to give order to
DADA's chaos.
And that's what this is, an orgy of chaos. There is very little
meaning to DADA, if any at all. You either like it or you don't. With
DADA, always keep in mind that WWI just ended and these people are
trying to deal with and understand what just happened. Also Ernst is
German, so he's dealing with the War and its aftermath in that specific
way too.

I put some salt in the water before boiling, if I remember. Never had a problem with the strands sticking together; I pour the whole thing out and through the colander, let the excess water drain for a moment, then slide the pasta into its bowl. Sauce or olive oil and seasoning follows.
However, I do angel hair rather than spaghetti, if that matters.

For the most part, I find that a lot of modern art may have technique but it is nihilistic and passionless. From this lowpoint, even a banana taped to a wall is preferable. At least a joke has some positive qualities.
Re: Impeachment, I am almost wondering if the House Dems want the Senate Republicans to dismiss the whole thing which A) gives them talking points about how the Turtle is a meany and a barrier to a "fair trial" and B) kills the issue quickly if they lose at the appellate court level to allow Dem candidates to start making their case for Prezzy.

I think I was just fascinated by the idea that the Soviets would flat out deny that it was possible for serial murders to occur in their perfect society.
I think I read the book before I had quite wrapped my head around the insanity of the Left
That was an excellent book. There was also a very good movie made about it. If you can find it, watch it. Great performances abound in a little watched movie. Stephen Rea, Donald Sutherland, Max Von Sydow, and Jeffery DeMunn were all outstanding in it.

gives them talking points about how the Turtle is a meany and a barrier
to a "fair trial" and B) kills the issue quickly if they lose at the

If you oil (or butter) your noodles, the sauce does not adhere as well. Rinsing after cooking, on the other hand, will remove some starch but adds water (even after the noodles are re-drained). The best solution is to make the pasta and then toss it with the sauce before it has a chance to stick together. That way the sauce itself keeps the noodles from sticking to each other and you get maximum flavor with each bite. Also, aim for al dente when cooking your pasta. It will continue to cook briefly after you remove it from the boiling water anyway so it's not like you're going to get crunchy noodles. Pasta cooked to well-done in the pot will then overcook and become much more likely to stick together later.

The reason I'm talking about John Effin' Kerry is I saw him on Lawrence O'Donnell's show last night and the guy was UNHINGED. He was sweating and shouting and carrying on and on like a street person. Really, these people are losing sleep and spending their waking hours with their minds all wound up, blocked up, stuffed up.

Give it to them.
At this point, they have done a lot of damage to themselves and pushing it harder is unlikely to make marginal progress. Give them the talking point, which they will kill quickly because it serves to keep their sham impeachment in the headlines (which no one wants). Let Trump bring it up at his rallies.

if you kill one terrorist mastermind, another will rise in his place. But the fact is that masterminds like Soleimani do not grow on trees. If you think of him as the Steve Jobs of state-sponsored terror, then it seems plausible to likely that he will be followed by a less creative type -- the Tim Cook of terror, say.
I like that. The Tim Cook of Terror. Enough! of innovation and loyal followers .. let's focus on the supply chain.

There is no doubt that planned Astroturf racial agitation funded by lefty donors and fanned by media will also try to bring Trump's approval numbers down for minorities.
There is a rock solid base for the Dems that is about 45% of the population while Trump has about the same.
The 2020 Prezzy fight is over the squishy eight to ten percent of persuadeables in swing states, many of which are traditional Dems in the Midwest. The fear by major DNC donors is that if the Dems go too far left on social or environmental issues, that they will be left with about 45-46 percent and the left base might stay home if they don't pick a woke candidate and go left on issues.
Thus, expect increasing 24/7 hatefest on Trump through the election--it is to unify the Dems on OrangeManBad for their candidate, avoid taking position on any issues if possible, and depress the handwringing OrangeManBad but economy good persuadeable voters.
The interesting thing is that Biden support appears to be a mile wide in national polls but his real test will come if he loses the first two states in Iowa and NH.

I rinse or not depending on what I'm making and who I'm making it for. My kids like everything mixed up, so I tend to just dump the sauce on top of the noodles in the noodle-boiling pot after I've drained the noodles.
I like my angel hair pasta to be separated, though, and I'll usually rinse it and toss it with a bit of butter.
