Yes, he's sitting on a coffin, and it will likely become his final resting vessel if he loses this shootout. The foreshadowing in this painting pleases me.

I like the sort of rough look with the brush strokes and weave of the canvas showing. It has the feel of a good illustration in the Strand magazine for an adventure story. The shooter sitting on what looks like a coffin is a nice touch.

A mass shooting that left one man dead and four injured in Back of the Yards on Tuesday afternoon is part of a weeks-long gang war fueled by a high-ranking gang member who paid just $1,000 to get out of jail for a felony gun case in March - four days after being released from federal prison, according to Chicago Police Supt.

Posted by: Ian S. at May 16, 2022 10:14 AM (ZGrMX) 254
Apparently, it means this:
The Court holds that the limits imposed by federal campaign finance law on the use of post-election funds to repay a candidate's personal loans violate the First Amendment by burdening candidates who want to make expenditures on behalf of their own candidacy through personal loans. Meh. I guess the law wasn't written in a way to make it illegal to pay off personal loans from remnants of campaign contributions. If we want that to die, then Congress will have to act.

Posted by: WisRich at May 16, 2022 10:14 AM (G0vdT) Lesson to campaign lawyers - this means that your clients need to find ways to borrow as much money as they personally can prior to any campaign (hopefully several million).

After it is all over, use the campaign "donations" to pay off all of your personal loans. l Posted by: Tom Servo at May 16, 2022 10:30 AM (trdmm) 308

My longstanding opinion, based on a time when I looked at campaign finance law intently, is that all campaign finance law is so corrupt and so full of "loopholes" (things that were put in intentionally but that the public doesn't understand) that we would be far, far better off to abolish ALL campaign finance regulations, and simply require that ALL funding from ALL sources be publicly disclosed.

Per ATC, SCOTUS has agreed to hear a case on if the federal bureaucracy is allowed to make laws. That would be *huge*.

To be clear, I am not for or against the Cruz vs FEC decision. My longstanding opinion, based on a time when I looked at campaign finance law intently, is that all campaign finance law is so corrupt and so full of "loopholes" (things that were put in intentionally but that the public doesn't understand) that we would be far, far better off to abolish ALL campaign finance regulations, and simply require that ALL funding from ALL sources be publicly disclosed.
I used to completely agree, but I now think there is a lot of potential harm in full disclosure laws. Read Kim Strassel's The Intimidation Game. The left will take that information and use it to dox and threaten anyone not voting as the left wishes. I could probably compromise on a threshold donation level. If you're big enough, the left can't hurt you, or at least that's the theory. Posted by: Archimedes at May 16, 2022 10:37 AM (ZsR3z) 338

Posted by: WisRich at May 16, 2022 *** In the first film Linda's Sarah Connor was interesting because she is an average everyday waitress who suddenly is catapulted into horror and a fight for her life, and she meets the challenge. The second I barely remember except that she was muscled like a women's weight training competitor and had been raising her son, or allowing him to raise himself, as a near-sociopath. Which I admit might well be a survival trait in the Skynet Times. Still, to me, the setup for 2 was not as interesting.

The second I barely remember except that she was muscled like a women's weight training competitor and had been raising her son, or allowing him to raise himself, as a near-sociopath.
She was locked up in a psych hospital, so she had no say in how her son was being raised. (Indeed, that's why she was trying to break out). Posted by: Ian S. at May 16, 2022 11:05 AM (ZGrMX) 498
The problem is that Mom and Dad won't live forever. Who will drive Junior then?
Uber. Seriously, they just rent a ride when they want to go somewhere, and have most stuff delivered so they don't have to. Hard to be excited about a Prius. That is part of the problem, there's nothing out there for young people to get excited about driving. Yes, a tesla is fast but it not only doesn't look badass, it costs an absolute fortune. Detroit was smart in the 60s about producing cheaper hot looking cars for guys in high school or just graduating to be able to afford while working at the malt shop.

Yeah I thought her portrayal was brilliant, and Linda Hamilton did a great job with both movies. Cameron has his flaws (like thinking he's creating a masterpiece with Avatar) but he really writes smart and tight movies and directs them well.
