3 Ah, the work one does as a painter when no one will commission your work.

Because you're a hack!

56 The only thing that points to Paul are the manuscripts in his hand, and those are really hard to read. I guess we'll just have to take the artist's word for it. This is like the guy who says he's dressed as Superman but only ties a red towel around his neck.

So he swapped out the painter's palette for a vague looking book and got someone to buy it by saying it is a portrait of him as a religious figure.

I think this came out wrong. Rembrandt is one of the Greats, no question. His self-portraits are a master-class in portraiture. They are expressive, individualistic, and innovative. His use of lighting is superb. I think the subject of this one is funny. Without the title, you'd never know this was supposed to be Rembrandt as Paul. Usually, an artist will put more visual clues.

108 I spent a good bit of time at the gallery in Amsterdam a few years back. This Dutch style is so incredibly dark. Very hard to make out details because of all the blacks and browns, even if you are standing right in front of the painting.

Better than the modern art I saw in Ottawa though.

I had my first pushback from a retail worker on not wearing a mask this weekend. By the auto section of my local WalMart, where I was just trying to get the guy behind the counter to ring up a barcode for some mulch, another guy at a nearby table specifically for temperature checks for employees, told me that I had to wear a mask.
"You have to wear a mask."
"I'm vaccinated."
"So are we."
"Then what's the point?"
"You don't have to wear it if you don't want to."

OK, I'll bite: is he saying that everyone will wear masks during flu season?

They keep muddying the proper use/purpose of masks -- are they to stop your from infecting others OR to protect you from getting infected from others?

I pocketed the mask he had asked me to take without putting it on. I just look at it like this: He lost one more fight on masking with someone. It's normalizing that loss for him while normalizing having people walk around inside the store without one.

Normalization of actual normal behavior is a fight that's worthwhile.

"This civilization is interesting in how they segregated their garbage into large, isolated areas. This was presumably for public health purposes. Studying the longer-running refuse collection areas show a cross-section of the civilization's consumption over time. The lowest layers of the refuse collection contain significantly more metal than later layers. Metal shifted to plastic for what appears to be decades. Paper, wood and other organic material is always present. There is an interesting anomaly in the later layers near the tops of the collections. The amount of paper and fabric increased dramatically and much of it has similar shapes. We suspect that these are facial coverings. The reason for the sudden popularity of these disposable or semi-disposable garments remains a mystery, though sociologists postulate that it was due a mass religious movement that mandated new modesty accessories for all people."

Given Hollywood's love affair with professional assassins for their action movies, I started playing around with a story about an assassin's academy, where the instructor tells the class that the perfect assassin has the weapons skills of a Delta Force operator, could kick Bruce Lee's ass in a karate fight, the technical expertise of a rocket scientist, but looks like Woody Allen.

Obviously, it's garbage, but the idea was fun for awhile.

220 I love Rembrandt's self-portraits, their blunt honesty, their truth. There's one he painted of himself as a young man that is exhibited on rotation in the Indianapolis Art Museum. The younger Rembrandt had acne on his chin. He painted his self-portrait on roughly grained wood that actually draws attention to his bad complexion. He's telling the person looking at the painting, 'This is who I am, zits and all.' Love him for it.

If were really serious about using masks to avoid either contracting or spreading a disease, we would be using full-face respirators with an inlet filter capable of stopping virus particles, and an outlet filter loaded with enough disinfectant to kill any bugs exhaled. It would probably have to have a motorized pump to draw air through the inlet filter.

Again, people are under the false notion that we are at year one of our understanding of viruses, their communication, expression and transmission, how the y continually circulate, attenuate, mutate in human populations.

But whatever, we have people who think they know what the fuck they are talking about when they fucking clearly don't.

If were really serious about using masks to avoid either contracting or spreading a disease, we would be using full-face respirators with an inlet filter capable of stopping virus particles, and an outlet filter loaded with enough disinfectant to kill any bugs exhaled. It would probably have to have a motorized pump to draw air through the inlet filter.

So we will be celebrated, honored, and our agenda promoted?

Sort of, except only the part where it's politically useful. Because the dirtly little secret is that - no matter how much the left praises homosexual men and cross-dressers - they find it utterly disgusting and know the vast majority of the population does, too.

It's why there's not prime time gay male sex scenes on channels Disney controls, and also why the left won't hesitate to imply someone is gay as an insult. Trolls here do it all the time.

The near-universal disgusting part is what they'll be aiming for when they start the push comparing freedom-loving people with AIDS superspreaders.

When people get to speculating about why they did all this, among the most important things to remember is, they've been PLANNING this for more than a decade.

I'm sure there are multiple reasons, and frankly I always thought the "to get rid of Trump" reason was way too small.

matters the payouts don't actually happen until after the drug tests
come in. And if you cashed in your second place winner but it's now
first place then sorry you should have waited.

And yes if they do disqualify that horse they will not pay off on any bets for the 2nd place winner.

385 Rembrandt painted a lot of self-portraits starting I believe in the early 1630s up towards his death in the 1660s. He looked more somber and serious later on compared to the good old days with Hendricke by his side. His Biblical paintings are timeless.
