21 She should probably take cover. There's about to be a pretty significant invasion - so significant that it was to be second only to the invasion of Japan that blessedly did not need to occur.

29 This looks rather like a cover illustration for a book ca. 1910. Not a bad thing, mind.

I see Absolon died in 1895, so I'm only about 20 years off in that guess.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 06, 2023 09:35 AM (J2vNu)

30 Hmm. Is this a painting, a watercolor or a colorized illustration? It looks like something John Leech would have drawn in the 1840s or 50s for Punch magazine.

Artist died in 1895, so it was pre-war unless we decide to include the possibility that he faked his own death and was the oldest man in history (or that a time warp was involved).

64 This has the feel of a book illustration more than a stand alone painting. It is simple in execution (not a lot of fiddly detail) with a muted color scheme. It would print well in a book.

To me, the impact of the work is the timeless theme of women waiting for the return of their men. It could stand for Penelope longing for Odysseus or any wife who used the Widow's Walk on their whaling village home.

While I like this one, I prefer Absolon's landscapes for the greater detail he achieves, almost like a proto-Impressionism.

5:20 am flight got delayed because a strut on an overhead bin pin popped off its anchoring pin. Normal world solution: pop the strut back on the pin. Real world solution: everyone has to get off the plane and make new arrangements for connecting flights or wait, with great hopes, that the repair person, 2.5 hours away, would show in time to make the repair so the plane could take off in time for me to make my connecting flight. My solution: Cancel this leg of my trip and book a shuttle to the connecting airport which just left at 7am with me on it. I am expecting the bus to break down next...

In one of my Bennett Cerf collections, there's a story about a one-legged WWI pilot who was visiting a casualty ward and came across a soldier who'd lost a leg. The pilot tried to cheer him up by telling him that once he had a replacement leg, he'd feel fine. "Here," he went on, "take my cane and whack it across my wooden leg."

The soldier did so and the pilot laughed. "See? An ordinary man with a real leg would have collapsed. You'll be feeling fine in no time!" The pilot then walked out of the ward and immediately dropped to the floor.

The soldier had, of course, hit the real leg.

Wow, have never heard of that before. From that Wiki page (and undoubtedly of interest to TJM):

"Koepcke's story was more faithfully told by Koepcke herself in German filmmaker Werner Herzog's documentary Wings of Hope (199. Herzog was interested in telling her story because of a personal connection; he was scheduled to be on the same flight while scouting locations for his film Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), but a last-minute change of plans spared him from the crash."

193 Russia has said footage aired on television and radio stations showing Vladimir Putin declaring martial law is actually an A.I.-generated fake deployed by hackers.

Senior figures within the Russian government came out on Monday to assure the public that the supposed “emergency” address broadcasted by Russian television and radio stations declaring martial law was not made by Russia’s real Vladimir Putin, but by an A.I. fake. By Russia’s own account, hackers had control of a television and radio station for 37 minutes.

201 House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has threatened enforcement action against Stanford University for insufficiently complying with a congressional subpoena regarding the college’s involvement with the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP).

The EIP, as Breitbart News has reported previously, was a key cog in the wheels of the left’s election censorship machine in 2020 and 2022.

Led by the Stanford Internet Observatory, the partnership also included the University of Washington, Graphika, and the Atlantic Research Council’s Digital Forensic Lab.

297 Longest Day movie is pretty much an authentic portrayal of Cornelius Ryan's book. Ryan, along with Shirer, were journalists that actually did primary research via talking with the people involved in the events. Many of those 'quips' in the movie come directly from Ryan's interviews with the real people portrayed on film by actors.

Carlo D'Este also has an excellent book out on the entire Normandy campaign that gives a modern military history perspective on the campaign.

Those who watched the series 'Vikings" will remember the character Rollo, supposed brother of Ragnar. The real Rollo lived about century or so after Ragnar, but he's the one who took his bunch to France and scared them enough to give him and his men Normandy as his Kingdom, whereupon he changed his name from Rollo to Robert 1, first Duke of Normandy, direct ancestor of William the Conqueror.

It's generally accepted now that the English Channel wasn't created until about 7,000 BC, when the final ice dam holding back the glacial meltwater in what became the Baltic broke and carved it out. Best theory is that this ancient and vast lake was about 300 - 400 feet above current sea level, stretching all the way back to what is now Russia, and this emptied out in maybe as little as 30 days, creating the English channel as it did so. It would have been one of the greatest torrents the earth has ever seen.

The African Queen and Rooster Cogburn have remarkably similar plots. Hard drinking tough guy teams up with prissy missionary's daughter, float on a boat down a river, pursued by bad guys, grudging respect verging on romance blossoms as the good guys blow up the bad guys in the final scene. In fact, I think Kate Hepburn didn't even have to learn new lines, just dusted off her dialogue from the "African Queen"

419 Willowed:

I'm on record as saying that I think the sudden discussion by Our Betters about the presence of aliens is them trying to establish and narrative and get ahead of what is going to happen during the Rapture.

Someone else pointed out something interesting, though: The notion that what they view as "aliens from another dimension" are demons and/or the old demonic gods, and Our Betters are interacting and making deals with them.

It would certainly explain the all-in fanaticism for killing babies.

When the rapture comes it will be for the evil ones. See the parable of the wheat and the tares, Mathew 13:24-43. Pay particular attention to the explanation starting in v37. First the tares/weeds are pulled up and thrown into the fire, then the wheat is gathered into the barn.

422 I think that Rosalind Russell would have done a fine job in "The Lion in Winter" Many or most of her roles are wisecracking or kind of acidic women with a beating heart underneath. Anyone who played so effectively as the Mother Superior in "The Trouble With Angels" could play Eleanor of Aquitaine quite well.

Hah so true. I always thought it was a reprisal of a role but I never did the comparison of the entire movie . It was right in front of me the entire time.
