56 Morning.

Been up for over 24 hours now. I'm tired. My mind needs rest. It's getting so that the Morning Art Thread looks like some half-baked Picasso wannabe that got wet in the rain and everything ran together.

Not sure if I would hang only because I'm losing my goddamn mind.

Posted by: Robert at August 02, 2022 09:38 AM (yxq4P)

57 Okay. For first grade art.

I'd hang. On the refrigerator door. With magnets.

Posted by: Adirondack Patriot at August 02, 2022 09:38 AM (lf83v)

58 I like how the angular, geometric shapes and the bright, contrasting colors give the work movement and life. The city looks alive, busy and modern. The colors are clean and vivid, without a lot of shading. I also like how the manmade objects, the train and buildings are angular and the humans are curvilinear. It really separates the images. This is an interesting piece.

Posted by: Kris at August 02, 2022 09:38 AM (VQp/A)

59 Hmm. I don't know that I would hang this in the house, but it's not bad.

It reminds me of the 1929 silent film Man With A Movie Camera.

How modern was 1914 Kiev? I wonder if it's a stylized "city" more than what it actually looked like. I think a lot of the people shown just look like geometric lines, especially across the streets.

134 It's neat how the artist has two contrasting actions happening here. First, the train is coming at me to the left. Being a train, I can feel the power and speed in that motion. Countering that action is the crowd of people heading in the opposite direction but adjacent to the line of the train. One or two people wouldn't balance the energy of the train, but a whole crowd does. Their individual swirling shapes blend together as they recede and come nearer to the train. They look to be running towards it, possibly to catch it? This force moving away from me seems to push against the force of the train. Anyway, it creates a neat tug-o-war with my eyes.

If the pollsters I trust are correct, then we will get the following results today:

Arizona - Both Lake and Masters will win by double digits.

Missouri - Schmidt will survive the dick stepping that his pollster did thanks to Trump letting people know he will support either Schmidt or Greiten. Schmidt will win by low single digits

Michigan - Dixon will win by over 15. In MI-03 Gibbs will beat Meijer by over 10.

Washington - In WA-03, Kent will advance to November in the jungle primary, Butler is about 50/50 to advance and try to hold her seat. There have been shenanigans here with lies about Trump's endorsement, which will have an unknown effect.

Kansas - The abortion amendment will pass by about 5 points.

205 ON PURPOSE

Kushner wrote that Cuomo specifically mentioned possible nursing home horrors in a 30-minute phone call as Kushner helped lead the early White House pandemic response as infections mounted in New York.

In the March 15 call, Cuomo allegedly told Kushner, “For nursing homes, this could be like fire through dry grass.”

They've gone dark and the military posturing has begun out of Japan (is it us running out of Okinawa, or the Japanese themselves?) and China.

Now the tension. I stand by my conclusion that Xi doesn't want a war right now and this is for propaganda value, but this is the first high-risk period for something to go wrong and end up in a shooting match anyway (the next one is when she leaves).

I agree. I usually don't like this sort of style, but this one U at least nearly like. Possibly because of the unusually, for a city scene, clear and cheerful colors. It certainly gives a feeling of movement and everything/everyone rushing around, which I'd guess was the intention, so that would make it a success.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at August 02, 2022 10:07 AM (txdEq)

Well, since I am an English speaker in an English-speaking country, I go with "Cans" as it reflects the French spelling of the name, and distinguishes it from Caen, also a town in France. If I were to go to France, I would make an effort to mimic the French pronunciation of those names.

I think many of them, especially the young idealists, live in a world where they think A will lead to B. In the real world, A impacts C - ZZZZZZZ which may lead to B or more likely it will lead to B5001 which they never could have foreseen because it is a complex world. But a real person can see that A may lead to a much worse outcome than B, so why bother doing A in the first place.

If it comes to war with China, the United States will lose. This country is incapable of winning foreign wars on a good day, and our military disposition is worse than it's been in living memory.

Anyone who feels confident about our prospects in that event needs to take a big step back and rethink some stuff.

Can we fuck up their military assets? Sure.

Can we prosecute the war to a successful conclusion? Not a chance. In ten years, we'll be drawing down our forces as a new, stronger China celebrates their now unquestioned hegemony, and parades billions of dollars worth of American kit through their streets.
