Yes. As much as I prefer representational art, Rockwell, Vettriano, et al., there's something compelling to me about certain surrealistic works. Maybe because I'm not comparing the subject matter to something like it in real life. A poorly-drawn woman, for example, is disappointing. Something like this resembles nothing in nature, so it stands by itself and produces its own effect without comparison to the outside world.

SpaceX kicks ass. This test has been phenomenal so far. Launch worked, handoff from booster to ship worked, booster return mostly worked (it got down, but crashed instead of doing a landing burn properly), the main vessel's maneuvering worked, doors opened as expected, and things are proceeding according to plan. Really impressive stuff. We'll see if the main ship re-enters and splashes down properly.

Also, their production management makes me laugh. We're in this period of waiting until the ship comes down, so SpaceX's main stream is just playing elevator music. Funny, I think.

Uh-huh. They know the score. Gotta get ahead somehow.

It used to be that just being a woman would do it. Now, it needs to be more exotic. So they'll be more exotic. Some of them - probably most of them - are lying about it, but it's also likely that large numbers of them aren't.

150 This painting dates from 1945, so perhaps the war years affected Donati in ways that came out here.

On Wikiart, there's a B & W photo of the artist, daubing on a canvas as he smokes a straight pipe.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at March 14, 2024 10:03 AM (J2vNu)

151 Enrico Donati (February 19, 1909 – April 25, 200 was an Italian-American Surrealist painter and sculptor.

Enrico Donati studied economics at the Università degli Studi, Pavia, and in 1934 moved to the USA, where he attended the New School for Social Research and the Art Students League of New York. His first one-man shows were in New York in 1942, at the New School for Social Research and the Passedoit Gallery. At this stage he was clearly drawn to Surrealism. This was reinforced by meeting André Breton and coming into contact with Marcel Duchamp and the other European Surrealists in New York at the time. A typical work of this period, St Elmo’s Fire (1944; New York, MoMA), contains strange organic formations suggestive of underwater life. [...]

Considered by some in the art world to be one of the last of the Surrealists, Enrico Donati died in his home in Manhattan on April 25, 2008, aged 99. Donati's health had been failing since involved, as a passenger, in a taxi accident in July, 2007. He eventually succumbed to complications sustained from his injuries.

186 Of course they do. They want to fit in. It costs nothing to identify as bi-sexual, and then you can be part of a protected LGBTQ class.

When you add a bunch of value for making a claim, like being bi, and make it have zero cost, of course women are going for it.

Ironically men cannot do this. Women, generally, are pretty put off by a man that claims, or has actually had, sexual relations with another man. The number of men that would have the same sort of concern about a "bi" woman is low.

What is the meaning of Corte d appello?
Collins Dictionary (in part): Corte d'Appello court of appeal. Corte d'Assise (in Inghilterra e Galles) ≈ crown court (in Scozia) ≈ high court.

What is the assize court in Italy?
The Corte d'Assise (English: Court of Assizes) is an Italian court composed of two professional, stipendiary judges or giudici togati; and six lay judges or giudici popolari, who are selected from the people. The Corte d'Assise has jurisdiction to try all crimes carrying a maximum penalty of 24 years in prison or more. (Wikipedia)

Demi-sexual - you only want to have sex with people you have an emotional connection with. Which would include most women and a significant number of men who would all consider themselves normal/straight.

211 Nearly 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ, Gallup survey finds. The percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer adults in the U.S. continues to increase, reaching an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023. “Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual,” Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News. “That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening.” Looking at all generations, 8.5% of women and 4.7% of men identified as LGBTQ, the survey found.

My son is 26 yo. He doesn't date, but occasionally will "see" his ex gf. If pressed he says he identifies as human. He is not concerned about anyone's gender or sexual orientation identification.

Mothers all over ultranationalist christian chat groups will be banning their daughters from sleepovers or ever spending unsupervised time with other girls again. And locker rooms will not be allowed to have showers or common changing rooms. It is turning the girls to the gay!

213 I'm planning on adding a generator, but a portable system with a bypass panel. Manual cutover. I can build that kind of system out for about $7500 or so, and it will be able to run my HVAC and refrigerator, some lights, and the computers and the like. The electronics are on UPS, so I don't mind needing to go start it up, plug it in and throw the switch if a power outage lasts longer than 8-10 minutes.

Way, way cheaper than a permanently-plumbed, permanently-installed standby system. Plenty of compromises, of course, but it will work and be way, way cheaper.

It was something like a decade ago that one of the three networks created a show that was designed to create news, not report it. It was some undercover reporting thing, and they set up a couple of gay actors to come out and propose, or something, in a small town Texas restaurant.

It was obvious that the network was hoping that they'd get some sort of violent reaction.

Instead, the people in the restaurant clapped.

277 It's not just the footage however: NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said it is unclear "who performed the work to open, reinstall, and close the door plug on the accident aircraft," as Boeing is "unable to find the records documenting this work." In Homendy's letter, she writes that despite requests to Boeing and interviews at the Renton, Washington factory where the panel was removed, the identity of the crew member that worked on the panel remains unknown and has would be unable to "provide a statement or interview to NTSB due to medical issues."



It gets crazier: in her letter, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said she directly appealed to Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun for information on who worked on the faulty door plug, expressing frustration over Boeing's claim of missing records and security footage. Even then, Boeing merely stonewalled and said it was "unable to provide that information and maintained that Boeing has no records of the work being performed."

Ironically Islam has its own version of this problem. If you allow for formal polygamy then you have to get rid of the excess men. This is an intentional aspect of Islam because then those men can be used to attack Islam's enemies.

But if you don't have a competent and expansionist strongman running your Islamic society then those young men just end up causing problems for your own government...which is what you see right now in most Islamic countries.

There's a major caveat here. Biden's DOJ has gone after a bevy of everyday folks.

When Kamala says "his enemies," what she means is her friends and co-conspirators.

She's asking her voting base for protection for herself and her ilk. The everyday lib has nothing to worry about and she knows it.

Yup. Socially-enforced monogamy is vital to long-term success. Islam sort of has it, except for the top - which leaves the bottom at loose ends. The West no longer has it at all, which leaves at least half of men at loose ends.

The West has been doping its way out of the problem, but that will fail either under the weight of rejection of the dope (which is why male opposition - minor, but vocal on social media - to porn and drugs is so derided by the establishment) or under external pressure conquering it. Islam's penchant for conquest will come in handy for them in that regard.
