82 Holiday sketches. Very nice. Sketches made on holiday if you get my drift.

Artwork page for 'The Debutante', Henry Fuseli, 1807 This is one of numerous drawings in which Fuseli explored his fantasies about dominant women. In such drawings, Fuseli usually portrayed women as cruel sexual predators, dressed in elaborate costumes and head-dresses. The precise subject of this drawing is not known, but the women are probably high class prostitutes, or courtesans. [Tate Gallery]

209 Fuseli has a lot of Shakespeare. Shakespeare was a very attractive subject for the Romantics. His works have a lot of fallen heroes, ignoble characters, and are full of the darker side of human nature. Romanticism is the anti-Classical. They didn't hate it, but thought that it was limiting, and uninteresting. Everything from subject to style was different than classicism. Fuseli's work is good an example of these attitudes.

I don't have the space to do full justice to the story, but Davis, like many stars in WW2, worked at the Hollywood Canteen and would dance with the servicemen. And, as rumor had it, if you were good looking, stars like Davis would. . .take advantage of being in the arms of a handsome fellow, IYKWIM.

A Marine came in one night and was interviewed by a reporter who asked him who his favorite star was. "Bette Davis," the jarhead replied.

"Because you like her movies?"

"Naw, because I hear she screws like a mink!"

There's an ancient Italian tale about a woman has a good heart but is so ugly she couldn't be married off. She grows old (30ish) - a man eventually comes by and offers her family a dowry of 20 mules. The woman's father argues that she is not worth 20 mules - only one. The suitor insists and a deal is struck.

Long story short, the now married man treats his wife like a queen and her inner beauty and goodness blossom into external beauty as well. The couple are blissfully happy and they live happily ever after.

Posted by: Indignacio Vindicatorem at February 08, 2022 10:02 AM (oWBc3)

no riots from the left; because those were always controlled and directed from the Top Levels of the party, and as long as they hold power they do not help their narrative. They won't allow them. Now working class uprisings like the Canadian Truckers blockade; depending on how things play out, that's a real possibility.

Seattle and Portland are special cases, of course; they've allowed a large number of home grown radicals to coalesce and fester in both of those cities, and they're going to pay the price for that bit of foolishness.

240 I knew a girl in college that was, let's say, awkward.

She dressed like a guy and had an obnoxious way of speaking.

We had a big dance at college one day (yes, at college it was a little odd), and I noticed there was a *beautiful* woman I hadn't seen before.

I went up and talked to her and...instantly realized it was annoying girl once she started speaking. She went from beautiful to damn ugly again real fast...

The rumor was that her mother had taken her for a full makeover over her objections.

And the listen here is just how much of a difference some effort makes.

267 Saw "The Empty Man" last night.

Man, was that good! A near great horror movie.

Never heard of it? Me neither so I looked it up. It was produced in 2017 and held on the shelves by 20th Century Fox till the middle of the COVID foofaraw for about five minutes and pulled out. Sometimes the wrong studio handling movie can damage it. I'm convinced that if, say, A24 released TEM it would be much more highly regarded and popular.

"The Empty Man" opens with a complete knockout of a 30 minute sequence set in the Himalayas, where a vacationing group of two couples accidentally stumbles upon a bizarre, creepy looking skeleton. Hijinks ensue. Seriously, this is a fantastic opening full of creeping dread and shock. One of the best you'll ever see.

After the opening, we're in a new setting in America roughly 2(?) years later. An ex-policeman still suffering from grief at the accidental death of his wife and son agrees to help a neighbor whose daughter has disappeared leaving only the message "The Empty Man made me do it." written in blood on the mirror.
More hijinks ensue.

The problem is that their trucks are their livelihood, and apparently they, and some with family, are camping out in the cabs (the back part where there is sleeping area). The additional containers of diesel fuel that the police are confiscating is being used to keep the trucks warm. This is gonna get messy.

It does something I really like in fiction in general and particularly horror. TME keeps us off-balance as to what is really going, all the while feeding the necessary info as to what is really going on and then all comes together in a bright moment of creepy irrationality.

And that's all TME really wants to do is creep you out, and it succeeds. At various points, you will be somewhat reminded of "Angel Heart", "Hereditary" and "Candyman".

I don't want to oversell TME cuz it is a slow burn, creep out style of horror. And probably could stand to lose 15 or so minutes. But, if you want to see something different and very well made, ten turn off the lights and watch TME.

287 RCMP threatening to arrest drivers means they're flailing. They are stuck, because, no matter how one slices and dices it, they're still stuck with a bunch of trucks and no way to move them.

So far, we've heard, "Call in the tow trucks" and "Ottowa is going to buy tow trucks" and we've also heard, "Ottawa RCMP is going to confiscate the trucks."

None of the above options are really a viable solution. Arresting the drivers doesn't get the job done, either.

I don't want to oversell TME cuz it is a slow burn, creep out style of horror. And probably could stand to lose 15 or so minutes. But, if you want to see something different and very well made, ten turn off the lights and watch TME.

The problem is that their trucks are their livelihood, and apparently they, and some with family, are camping out in the cabs (the back part where there is sleeping area). The additional containers of diesel fuel that the police are confiscating is being used to keep the trucks warm. This is gonna get messy.

298 I vaguely recall an Arab story about a lovely woman being followed one day by a young man who professed eternal love. The woman said, "Prince, why do you pursue me when my sister, who is twice as beautiful, is on the road behind us?"

The man instantly turns around. No-one is there. The woman laughs and chides him, "Now, how true is your love if you turn away so quickly?"

They're banking on terror. They figure they arrest a bunch of them, perhaps shoot one or two, and the rest will disperse. Then months of wall-to-wall hate propaganda, demonizing them as traitors and neo-Nazis, along with doxxings, social ostracism, and follow-up prosecutions to keep the dissenters off-balance, and discourage other dissenters.

This is the play, and it's predictable. It's a good one, and it definitely works a charm on Americans. I don't bet Canadians are any less susceptible to these terror tactics than Americans. But it's definitely possible. We're a very fearful, timorous people, anymore.

Their livelihood is beaing threatened by the government's insane policies anyway. Do you lose your rig to the banks because you can't get loads to haul, or do you lose it because you made it a part of a blockade wall? Do the latter, the government might blink, and the trucks wind up getting released back to their owners, because people need stuff hauled.

Right?
I recall last summer, when our local Boston morning news station used to interview some covid-related expert daily, they had on a young OBGYN. She smiled and said "All women should get vaxxed, even women who are pregnant, because no known issues!" When asked specifically about reports of messed up cycles and heavy menstruation following the jab, she just smiled and said "No known issues, no studies confirm this."

They knew, and as we've seen throughout covid, they simply don't track or study for anything where bad and/or off-narrative results are likely.

I'd also like to know what the rate of miscarriages and newborn deaths is for women vaccinated while pregnant.

377 They knew, and as we've seen throughout covid, they simply don't track or study for anything where bad and/or off-narrative results are likely.

They play this game - the people who should be tracking side effects intentionally don't so they can claim that there are none. Because even if they are COVID is so deadly for everyone right?

Then the people who are supposed to be accurately tabulating the deaths from COVID inflate the numbers because...why not? There are no side effects to the jab right? So if it gets even one person to take the shot who wouldn't...

But they said there is more strength in numbers. They asked to be able to sit down with the government and make their concerns known.

How many active truck drivers are there in Canada. I've seen estimates of 300,000.
What is the percentage of drivers supporting the rally by refusing all loads?
Are 50% of truckers off road / not hauling? That's the only way the Canadian public will feel any pain.

And, 50% of vaccinated American drivers need to stop hauling into Canada.

413 Unions are simply leverage to force any entity to negotiate. Once a Union is fully funded by its members, it becomes a political tool, sold to the highest bidder. The concerns of the member become back burner at best.

Maybe just an occasional head nod to keep the pleebs in line and donating.

One of my worst experiences in work was being strong armed by a union into giving them part of my paycheck in return for some promise of help down the road if I needed it.

Now, possibly these are courtesans; possibly they are rich Cits; probably the whole thing is nasty satire. But basically it is a scene from a Regency novel.

It does seem like the women are not wearing corsets,and that the old woman has damped muslins on. Which could indeed be a bordello, but could also be a satire of a delusional older woman who thinks she is fashionable, and of the "marriage market" for genteel young girls with money.

The pillar might even be an allusion to slave markets.
