11 Noli me tangere ('touch me not') is the Latin version of a phrase spoken, according to John 20:17, by Jesus to Mary Magdalene when she recognized him after his resurrection.

Based on the title, yes. I am not sure what this week's theme is. It's been death and resurrection and religious symbolism, but not from any particular faith. Maybe death and faith is the theme. Or maybe there is no theme, and sometimes it's just about a whale.

Thou dost put thine left foot in
Then dost thou put thine right for out
Upon which dost thou place thine left in
And then thou shaketh it about

Thus sayeth the Lord

Posted by: IP at December 09, 2021 09:48 AM (SDdI7)

72 There is a solidness (for lack of a better term) about Correggio's art. The colors can be muted or brilliant but they are not nebulous. His characters have bodies that show the muscular structure under the skin and the soft curves of the women. In particular, his Christ figures show a man in his prime, not some emaciated creature that only inspires pity. His technique is hugely effective and often moving. It is like the viewer has a window onto the scene. It is more immediate than seeing a painting in a frame on the wall.

117 So speaking of ships at anchor on the horizon, we were over on Mt Pleasant yesterday.

You get a really good view of the South Carolina state ports facilities, and the activity taking place there.

Let me tell you, the number of containers on the local highways, and the double stacked container rail cars moving about is incredible.
You almost get the impression that the entire nation's being supplied through our local ports.

Cali now banned the ships from parking there and moved them 100 miles out. You can't see them anymore.

In Rome, they dated things from the purported founding date of the city, 753 BC, which was considered to be Year One.

Ab Urbe Condita, often abbreviated as AUC, means "From The Founding Of The City". It refers to the year of the founding of Rome, which was the Epoch used in Ancient Rome.

Noli me tangere is the Latin version of a phrase spoken, according to John 20:17, by Jesus to Mary Magdalene when she recognized Him after His resurrection. The biblical scene gave birth to a long series of depictions in Christian art from Late Antiquity to the present.

The hip hop translation I think is "Can't Touch This".

Russia agrees to stop further western movement in exchange for promise that no NATO forces or arms will be sent to Western Ukraine.

Germany, France and UK agree, but state that in the future Western Ukraine will be subject to NATO protection under Article V.

Similarly, Germany, France and UK agree that Russia will not places forces or military equipment in Eastern Ukraine.

The key "victory" here for Russia and the Western European nations will be that the US will be totally excluded from the peace talks process for the first time since before World War I.

It's astounding that there aren't more crashes because of this. "Durrr, I'll hang out next to a giant, heavy vehicle with limited maneuverability and speed change ability for long periods of time at high speed because nothing ever goes wrong!"

I still handle this the way my mom taught me to. When I go to pass a truck, I hold back far enough that if there's an emergency, he can dodge over without hitting me. When the lane in front of me is clear for long enough to get past him, I punch it hard and whiz past as quickly as possible and then move back over. Minimize the time spent in a truck's emergency maneuver path and blind spots.

But beyond the limits of our vision, hidden by the window's frame, are burning lands, abject misery, death and sorrow.

281 This is a weird painting. If it's supposed to be the risen Christ ("Don't touch me, I have not yet ascended to the Father."), then why are there no marks on his hands/feet/side? And I don't care for the effeminate gestures. There's a certain laziness to such generic affectations of the posed hands and feet that belies the painter's seriousness (or skill) at depicting the subject.

At museums, this is the kind of painting I tend to glance at and move on.

296 Joe Biden and Biden-Harris officials are pushing Ukraine to give up territory to Putin in exchange for promises that he won't invade even further, for now. It's the literal definition of appeasement. Utterly disgraceful.

--------------

Of course it is. But our country "elected" him. The problem obviously with appeasement is it will eventually bite us as somehow we get pulled into a war. If Russia wants Ukraine, there isn't much we can do to stop it. Perhaps Ukraine should have kept its nukes.

Then again, I'm guessing Russia will "appease" Biden because it can get the best of both worlds - control over Ukraine plus US $$$.

Let them have it. Pull out. Give the Poles some nukes and let them deal with Europe.

I remember some leftist jackass at work trying to get tax deferment and a massive government payout because of some major hardship they suffered. Eventually, you found out that the hardship was that one of his various estates he owns around the world was hit with a hurricane and there were trees damaged around that particular mansion and some of his servants had not been able to fix it for him. A lot of rich people I've known, not all of them, but especially the leftist ones, have no idea that they are rich, always believing they are suffering downtrodden victims and are terrible at managing what they have.

It really comes down to Energy - thanks to their idiotic green" dismantling of their energy production, Germany absolutely depends on the good will or Russia and it's gas shipments just to survive the winter - so they do not dare to stand up to Russia on anything. With Germany caving right out of the gate and the US disengaged, NATO is dead and everyone knows it.

Btw, Britain won't do anything because it would mean that someone might need to step outside and break quarantine. Can't have that.

I've tried that with no success. Well, at least I haven't liked the versions I've made. I have a spiced rum which might not be good but I could always get more/different.

You got a good recipe I could try this year?

Yes. If you shoot me. That's the dumbest shit ever.

It's an interesting concept - ball sports for people who can't see very well.

The best comment I read under the YT video was this: "This is actually interesting.. it would be really epic if they hired blind commentators"

Yep, that's the only way. That game has the kind of rules my 9 year old grandson would have made up for a game in his backyard. If he was really bored.

Am I the only one who sees this whole "scandal" as a non-issue? I would presume Finland has some sort of power delegation scheme, whereby executive power passes to other persons in the event the PM is out of touch or incapacitated.

>>A lotta big games get decided by own goals. It's not how good your team is, it's how bad the other team is.

Yeah, but now NATO and the Anglosphere are war mongering over Ukraine and silly GOP twats like Wicker are talking about using tactical nukes.

Over Ukraine?

Ukraine, that's the globalist grift trough?

This shit is deadly serious and these children that run the Western world need a fucking time out.

It would be epic if they were competing nekkid. Like they did in the original Olympics. Granted, women were not allowed to compete in original Olympics.

But save for that, yeah, that has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen.
