Rosen: "In the 1910s he was acclaimed for his Impressionist winter landscapes. He became dissatisfied with this style and around 1920 he changed to a radically different cubist-realist (Precisionism) style. He became recognized as one of the leaders of the Woodstock [NY] artists colony."

I don't care for this style all that much. At least it's not as abstract as some Cubist styles. But I do like Rosen's use of color to reflect the season, the worn sense of the town and ferry landing, and the way he suggests the reflections in the water. It feels comfortable.

Posted by: Boaty McBoatface at April 02, 2024 *** We have only two ferries in the metro area that I know of, one pedestrian ($2/person each way!) and one for vehicles and pedestrians. And in classic Da Swamp fashion, the latter is out of service because a bridge leading to it on the other side of the river is damaged. Miss Linda and I rode the pedestrian ferry right after Christmas last year. It surprised me: The boat is new, the interior is up-to-date, it ran on time. Kind of worth the $8 round trip for two people, I guess. Posted by: Rockwell, ca. 1984 at April 02, 2024 09:50 AM (J2vNu) 83

The ATF can’t go after NRA members over guns with pistol braces on them. That’s the outcome of a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge on Friday. US District Judge Sam A. Lindsay sided with the gun-rights group and enjoined the federal agency from enforcing its rule reclassifying pistol-brace-equipped guns as short barrel rifles (SBRs) under the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA). The decision keeps any NRA member who owns a braced gun from facing six-figure fines or imprisonment if they didn’t register their gun by last year’s deadline–something most owners didn’t do.

200 Mystery Guests On Epstein's "Pedo Island"
Data from nearly 200 mobile devices reveal the exact path taken by visitors to Jeffrey Epstein's notorious 'pedo island,' which was tracked to 80 cities around the world spanning 26 states or territories. Officially, this data is intended to be used by companies hoping to determine where potential customers work and reside. But in October 2023, the Journal revealed that Near had once provided data to the US military via a maze of obscure marketing companies, cutouts, and conduits to defense contractors. Bankruptcy records reviewed by WIRED show that in April 2023, Near Intelligence signed a yearlong contract with another firm called nContext, a subsidiary of the defense contractor Sierra Nevada. -Wired Posted by: Harry Reid at April 02, 2024 10:01 AM (RHGPo) 123

You should try making your own pho. It is a ginormous pia, but very good. You can control
The sodium and make your own meatballs! I also went to the Asian grocery store and got beef tendon to put in mine. The double batch was gone in one night thanks to my boys. Posted by: nurse ratched at April 02, 2024 09:51 AM When the parents' next-door neighbors moved, a very nice Vietnamese family moved in. Despite the language barrier, the RMBS Mom and the grandmother compare gardening notes, and they always bring her a birdbath sized bowl of Pho and other stuff on holidays. If they realize I'm around, they'll go back and get another birdbath. She's a fantastic cook. Great folks. Posted by: RedMindBlueState at April 02, 2024 10:02 AM (Wnv9h) 126
Currituck Sound Ferry is free and mostly exists because there is a small part of Knotts Island on the other side that is in NC. About 100 children on Knotts Island attend school on the "mainland" and the school buses ride the ferry. A few miles north on Knotts Island becomes Virginia Beach, VA.

The Rude Pundit: It's Not Just the Pandemic. We're Traumatized Because of Trump and the MAGA Movement...I'm not disagreeing with the pair of doctors who wrote in The Atlantic that everyone is grappling with at least residual emotional detritus from the Covid pandemic...
...the pandemic brain-raped us, we're letting the real rapists off the hook, and one of them is an actual and not metaphorical rapist. We don't know if the start of the pandemic would have gone differently if anyone else had been president other than Trump, but, c'mon, we all fucking know...we were so traumatized by Trump's failure, we turned to Andrew Cuomo for comfort, and that led to a lot of us making walks of shame afterwards. We are stuck in this doom loop, a cosmic algorithm of despair is keeping our content chaotic. If it's the "era of bad feelings," as some have called it, it's not just the pandemic. It's because it's the Trump era. It's the MAGA era. ...it's why we need Trump convicted and not just defeated at the polls. We need someone to fucking blame and punish them for it. It won't solve the trauma, but at least we know he won't be able to inflict more. Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at April 02, 2024 10:03 AM (JCZqz) 129

How it’s going: Biden to cap rent rises at 10% in new affordable housing ploy: White House to unveil plan that could stop landlords upcharging on millions of homes.
—The London Daily Mail, March 29th, 2024. Will Sundown Joe’s handlers go the full Nixon, next? On Sunday night television, Nixon presented his New Economic Policy, a cynical plan that helped his political prospects at substantial cost to the long-term economy. He immediately closed the gold window, ending the convertibility of dollars to gold. He imposed temporary wage and price controls. He asked Congress for a tax credit that was frontloaded for maximum impact pre-election, even as he slapped a surcharge on imports. Posted by: Harry Reid at April 02, 2024 10:31 AM (RHGPo) 248

@Jules31415 Hillary Clinton tells voters who don't like the two choices for president to "get over yourself," and describes Trump as "old and has been charged with 91 felonies." "I don't understand why this is even a hard choice, really, I don't understand it," she said. - I agree, Hilldog. I don't understand why this is a hard choice.

Hillary Clinton tells voters who don't like the two choices for president to "get over yourself," and describes Trump as "old and has been charged with 91 felonies."
"I don't understand why this is even a hard choice, really, I don't understand it," she said. You left out the rest of the article, in which Hillary guzzles the rest of a bottle of vodka, sharts, throws a lamp at the reporter, and then headbutts a bollard.

JK Rowling dares police to arrest her for 'misgendering' after Scottish hate crime law takes effect This new Scottish Law is pretty good evidence that Covid or the vax was engineered to create world-wide retardation, metal instability and infantilism. If I've got this right - it is now illegal to call an insane man or woman their proper biological/genetic sex if the insane person insists that they are the opposite sex. So, the insane person delusions trump both simple reality, biology and the speaker's rights not to mention any common basis for Western law, is that correct? Because if so Scotland the Brave is now Scotland the Kookoobananas. They are really voting for this? Posted by: naturalfake at April 02, 2024 10:57 AM (nFnyb) 310
