74 I always like the way Rubens captures clothing: the colors, the folds, and textures. Also, the detail in the fancier woven cloth at the bottom of the painting and the nearby wood of the container. Same for the skin tones. But the facial expressions seem 'off' somehow. Mary's eyes are the most distracting and the others seem a bit odd. At least that's my first impression. The little ones' treatment of the dove is discordant and, again, odd.

The hands, however, are extremely well done.

83 This is a charming picture. The adults are laughing at the play of the children, but Elizabeth is also lightheartedly scolding John a little too. Her right hand is pointing at her son in a "No, no, dear" gesture. This is so very human. This is a Baroque work, but it's so very anti-Renaissance-like in tone.

120 Rare female lizards that reside around Colorado’s Fort Carson Army base are “stress eating” to cope with military aircraft fly-over noise, a new study has found. These uncommon reptiles, called Colorado checkered whiptails, are engaging in compensatory feeding behaviors when low-flying Apache, Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters — and sometimes F-16 fighter jets — swoop over their habitat, according to the study, published on Wednesday in Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science.

133 The California legislature may prevent K-12 schools from suspending or expelling students who are drunk or high, or in possession of illicit drugs or alcohol. The proposed ban is outlined in Assembly Bill 599, from Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward. The Education Committee approved AB 599 last week unanimously; it now heads to the Appropriations Committee. The bill argued that students shouldn’t be expelled or suspended for being drunk or high because “high feelings of school connectedness can decrease drug use” — indicating that students should remain in that school environment.

170 Cal--Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the United States, reported revenue doubled and profit surged 718% last quarter because of sharply higher egg prices...Egg producers’ pricing decisions have been criticized by some politicians, who accuse them of profiteering and price gouging.

Contractors need to start gouging these MF'ers on projects at these CEO's second; third and vacation properties. Fuck ‘em!

We were told the egg prices went sky high because of the avian flu bug that killed chickens and there was a shortage of eggs...egg producer costs were passed on to the consumer.

I bought that explanation. Higher cost for producers. Dead chickens. Shortage of eggs. Supply and demand. Cost passed on to the consumer. Now we're hearing that egg producers made obscene profits during this period?

----------

IIRC, John the Baptist and Jesus were related in some manner as Elizabeth was related to Mary -- but the exact relationship is not certain.

The Hebrew language had no word for "cousin"

Here's one explanation found online: The word “cousin” is used in different places in Shakespeare, sometimes for nephew, sometimes for niece; twice for uncle, once for brother-in law, and three times for grandchildren. In the Bible it is used in only one passage (Luke i. 36 and 5 where Elizabeth is called the cousin of our Lord’s mother. It represents a Greek word (suggenes) that had the same vague meaning as our old English word “cousin,” one of the same race, a near relative. The consequence is that we cannot be sure of the relationship between John the Baptist and our Lord.

209 Kris,
Thanks for pointing this out. I'm not used to playfulness concerning the Holy Family and it threw me. Mary's eyes still bother me but now I see a charming moment, not just a discordant scene. I wonder how it was received during Rubens' life.
Posted by: JTB at March 30, 2023 10:15 AM (7EjX1)

Yeah. This is unusual. I can't recall a scene of the Holy Family this playful. There are some where the kids are messing around but not like this and the adult smile but aren't outright laughing. It's so very un-classical. Mary does look out of place. She reminds me of some of Raphael's Madonnas.

211 IIRC, John the Baptist and Jesus were related in some manner as Elizabeth was related to Mary -- but the exact relationship is not certain.

. . .The consequence is that we cannot be sure of the relationship between John the Baptist and our Lord.
Posted by: ShainS -- The Abolition of The West is from Men Without Chests at March 30, 2023


***
The simplest explanation would be that Mary and Elizabeth were sisters, and therefore John the B. and Jesus would have been what we call cousins. (The Romans had specific names for each kind of cousin, one for the child of a father's brother, one for the child of the father's sister, another for the child of the mother's brother, etc. I'm just as glad English doesn't do that.)

I remember reports right after Francis' elevation to pope that he got in because the African cardinals rallied around him because he was one of the only ones who was consistently nice and welcoming to him. I also seem to remember it took a fair number of ballots to get to him.

Good question. The media that covers the Vatican hasn't published a list of potential candidates yet. I strongly suspect the next pope will come from Africa.

The trend away from Italian popes went to Poland and Germany, and then South America. I suspect someone from Africa.

Asia is the next geographic preference. I don't know how that will shake out given that the choice of a Chinese Pope will piss off the CCP. It will look like a political threat like John Paul II against the Soviet bloc.

350 "In the world of transgenderism, that means that a child who goes to a school counselor and says that they are transgender and that their parents won't support them, that child can be whisked off to a LGBTQ community facility and not come home from school that day."

This is new based on the reason for it, but the Left has been able to take your kids on pretexts for a long time. If your child goes to a teacher and claims that you are abusing the child, that kid is not going home today. And you will get a visit from CPS. And your only choices are that the kid (and any other in your home) are taken from you or to sign a Kafka-esque "safety plan" stating you acknowledge the thing that you were accused of, won't do it any more, and allow the state to make unannounced visits at any time to ensure that is the case.

Or if a vindictive ex makes the claim....

The problem with the Catholic Church is not its theology but the fact that it was grafted onto a Roman Management Model. Today, the theology dictates that Protestant North America must save Catholic South America from its Roman Catholicism.
Posted by: Pudinhead at March 30, 2023 10:43 AM (Z6LNn)

I've seen the claim that the Catholic church is Roman in its structure, either based on the Roman bureaucracy or Roman priesthood, and it's entirely incorrect. It does not much resemble either.

The Catholic Church is Jewish in structure, hence the use of councils and a chief priest, as well as ecclesiastical courts.

357 But the real problem is that people lack the economic and personal freedom to pursue their desires.

I was reading someone romanticizing the lockdown time arguing that not having to go to an office and just spending time doing things you want is the way you should live...

We have so many people that don't realize they want things - food, phones, entertainment media, whatever but not that someone has to make those things for them.

And either you compensate those people with money earned from your own production of similiar goods and services or you enslave them and take it from them. There are no other options.

The capitalist answer to this is make it as easy and productive as possible in whatever you yourself are going to produce so you can minimize the time needed to work.

The socialist answer is...steal and enslave as much as possible from other people you define as "bad" for whatever arbitrary reason works at the moment.

The reparations they are demanding, are so large, that if paid they will crash the system. So, they CAN'T be paid, which leads to more racial division.

412 I wonder if the African cardinals regret that decision and will hold out for a more conservative pope next time.
==
A fair amount of time has passed. A lot of conservatives are too old to elect. Francis has appointed a fair number of newbies who many suspect are going to lean quite liberal. That said, the complete insanity of the German Church has pushed many moderates too see that there is a push toward erasing the deposit of the faith or rewriting it. There is however a counter push in that the former head of the congregation for the Doctrine of the faith Cardinal Mueller, is publically calling for the trials of the German Bishops who are arguably in schism. Nobody has any idea what's going to happen next. And there is now a Public debate about whether or not the Pope is actually the Pope, since Benedict's "resignation" was made in "substantial error". If it was made in substantial error, it was invalid as a matter of law. That means he was the Pope til he died. It also means everything Pope Francis did is void. In otherwords, all the people Francis made Cardinal electors, can't validly elect a Pope. Potentially the future Popes will be invalid.

Toyota Jan is quite sexy to me

422 414 Lily just had a baby and her bewbies are enormous. She is also very tiny which enhances her bewbie powers.

Lol... she *had* a baby... and then later she didn't

Did the bewbies eat the baby?

Dove sucks.

Guittard or GTFO.

424 The best fairly recent commercial was the Dodge George Washington commercial. "Two things America got right: Freedom and Cars".


To bad Dodge is going to crap now.

425 And the dove is thinking FML.

426 Dove is ok, but Ivory floats so you don't lose it in the tub.

I'll bet she could be. That's why I said "as she was shown."

Extremely attractive lady in any case.

Thank you.

432 Ultimately I see them sending out checks for some pissant amount and the riots start.

They will welcome the riots, but the timing is everything. Hopefully they can blame them on Republicans. Actually, I think this is what they are waiting for, some Republican personality to say this is a bad idea and then they'll cancel this or much reduce the amount because the Republicans are mean.

433 >>your comment about Barbara Feldon got me to look her up. She's still kicking at 90. Always thought she was stunning.


Way back, when Feldon was just starting her career, my aunt was her next door neighbor and friend in NYC. They watched her first tv ad together (Feldon was told when it would air) and it was thrilling, because the ad made her "a thing." My aunt said she was a wonderful person.

434 There's supposed to be a Kenyan bishop or cardinal that is fire & brimstone.
==
Cardinal Sarah - he used to be the head of the congregation for divine worship (Liturgy) and Francis gave him the boot in Feb of 2021. He's not fire and brimstone - he just tells the truth.

435 409 Here's the Daily Mail article on the Q-Anon's release:

https://tinyurl.com/reztpsnr

The article credits the shyster, Watkins, for his release. If this happened, it would actually be his new attorney, Bill Shipley (aka @shipwreckedcrew) who got him sprung. Watkins deserves to be disbarred for his representation of Chansley.
Posted by: IrishEi at March 30, 2023 10:57 AM (3ImbR)

Watkins droned on and on and would not shut up in that Tucker clip.

437 If you mean archbishiop Njue, he retired Jan 2021 - Francis took his resignation. They are subject to having their resignations accepted at age 75. The pope can keep them on if he wants longer but they submit a letter or resignation every year at age 75.
