Rich people throw piles of clothing and some food into the middle off the street and party and laugh as poor people with their kids scramble for the rags and scraps. I'm certain these clothes and food were given because the rich folks had no use for them. It came from their abundance.

You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish.

Yes. I wasn't impressed with it overall but in the high-res you can see how well painted the individual 'portraits' are. And you can see why he was well-known for adding pseudo-still-life household objects into his 'action' paintings.
I'd be interested in a [partial] translation of the Hebrew too if anyone would do that from the #101 link.

How does that symbolism juxtapose itself with what is happening in the midground (celebration of life) and foreground (Christian charity)?

There's a lot to unpack here; in the small scene next to the casket, there's also an old man who looks to be on his death bed. My best guess is that it's the artistic sensibility of the time to always show Death lurking in the background somewhere.

Roe Rage Is A Thing

Great poster. Full on feminism, anger over injustice, and determined to do something about it. Who designed it? Anybody know...?
Love the graphics. Only one quibble: they aren't aiming for the 1950s, but much further back. One of the American zombie laws that came back was from the 1850s. In Dobbs, Alito quote a source from the 1200s and another from the 1500s — not at all American, and the latter one opined on witches.
I'm just as furious now as I was in late June of 2022. Maybe even more. We need to keep channeling the anger until we shrink the GQP enough to drown it in a bathtub.
I fought for contraceptive coverage and pregnancy discrimination. The pain is real for me. I get so stressed out about what is happening, it's affecting my heart now. I'm hoping a heart doctor can straighten things out for me. The stress triggers my afib.

Wtf?!
Army chiefs have launched a stinging attack on families who raised concerns over the relocation of Afghan "refugees" on to military estates.
Soldiers' wives living in service accommodation in Wiltshire complained after Afghans were reportedly seen taking pictures of their children.
The alarmed women at Larkhill, Wiltshire, said they felt unsafe and argued the Afghans' behaviour raised safeguarding issues.
Although the social media group chat posts were sympathetic rather than inflammatory, the Ministry of Defence has threatened troops and civilian staff with disciplinary action should they complain publicly again!

They believe in charity so long as it is performed at the point of a gun. Of course, it’s no longer charity at that point, morally speaking.

I am absolutely certain, with no proof, that they have significantly changed the way they count unemployment.
Like they did with inflation.
I feel like it's something to do with changing the way they determine someone is "no longer looking" which removes them from the count.
I'll bet it's gone from basically anyone on unemployment to something like only those unemployed who have had a job interview in the last 30 days are counted as "looking."
Still unemployed, still applying but no interviews = no longer looking and not counted as unemployed.
