28 In "A Very Short Novel" he examines the infidelity of a woman to a crippled hero.

His best-known and most characteristic story is "A Red Flower"; it fits in the series of lunatic-asylum stories in Russian literature.

81 Portrait of writer Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin
Ilya Repin

Whoa. This is excellent. Repin's control of the highlights in the blacks is quite the thang and set up Garshin's face to be the star of this work, as it should. This work has me recalling photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson notion of the Decisive Moment where a composition has its own inevitability and if this painting was a photograph would capture the fleeting moment where everything in the frame has a certain perfection.

Would hang.

93 I like how Ripen uses light in his paintings to help create a mood for the viewer. In this one the stark white walls make the clutter and figure stand out. It focuses attention on the writer's face and posture which is eloquent, as if he were talking to the viewer. I could hear him muttering "The deadline is when!!!?"

I had that same look often enough while writing contract proposals. Another reason to enjoy being retired.

119 One phenomenon not talked about enough is the reaction of the Biden Administration to the 2020 election.

Instead of acting like winners, they have done everything that a party guilty of stealing an election would do .. the persecution of the J-6ers, censorship of competing views, and endless lawfare against the “loser” and supporters. In short, they act guilty.

The ‘Nice Guy’ LGBT Campaigner Who Became Leader Of Eunuch Maker Cult

In his north London basement flat, Marius Gustavson castrated and sexually tortured dozens of men for the enjoyment of paying viewers on his Eunuch Maker website.

Over four years, Gustavson made £300,000 from the 22,800 subscribers paying to watch the “human butchery” unfold on their screens.

At the Old Bailey on Thursday, the 46-year-old Norwegian national was jailed for life with a minimum custodial sentence of 22 years.

In a number of Larry Niven's later "Known Space" stories, the ARM (the world police who also have jurisdiction over the asteroid belt) make a point of recruiting paranoiacs and paranoid schizophrenics.

160 Ann Coulter tells Ramaswamy she wont vote for him 'because you're Indian', "core national identity" is WASP. Mr Ramaswamy welcomed Ms Coulter by telling her that he is a fan.

She replied that he is “bright and articulate” and notes that she wouldn’t be “allowed” to say that to him, if he was “an American Black.” “I agreed with many, many things you said during your campaign, in fact probably more than most other candidates when you were running for president. But I still would not have voted for you because you’re an Indian.”

She then claimed that the “core national identity” in the United States is a “WASP” - a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Leave it to Ann to be the one person ever to make me feel an iota of sympathy towards Vivek. She's a bigot and gross.

WASP? With your Catholic SCOTUS doing the heavy lifting for you? Ann? Really? The GOP will eat their own. Coulter is trying desperately to gain some kind of relevancy.

Idiots desperate for relevancy. Idiot number one is an ignorant racist. Hopefully idiot number two finally gets it. He never had a chance with the racist magats.

I'd never say I was superstitious. But invariably, if something goes wrong in the early morning -- as today, when one of the cats threw up on the rug, and I had to clean it up before I left for work -- I say, "This is not going to be a good day." Sometimes the day does turn out good. Sometimes it doesn't . . . and then I wonder if I jinxed it by saying what I did earlier.

184 Ablation comes in three main forms. Surgical (physically interrupting), cryo (freezing) and RF (focused radio frequency energy). The goal is to selectively ablate or ("erase" or destroy) a portion of the heart muscle that is electrically disruptive, thereby stabilizing cardiac rhythm.

Clocking in at nearly three hours, the production features a cast comprised entirely of women and “non-binary” individuals.

Old joke:

A hillbilly goes to town once a year to lay in supplies. One year, he broke his leg and had to send his son. He writes up a list of things and puts it with a bag of money. He says, "It'll be late and the store will be closed. In the morning, go hand the man this list and this money and he'll get you everything you need. Then you come home."

He hands the boy another bag of money and says, "When you get there, ask one of those town folk where the hotel is. Give this money to the clerk for a room and meal. They're fancy down there in town, and the clerk's gonna make you sign your name in a book. I know you can't read or write, but don't worry. Just sign with an 'X.'"

It goes as the boy's father described. When it came time to sign the register, he wrote an 'X,' then put another 'X' next to it.

The clerk said, "we get you hillbillies sometimes who sign with an 'X,' but I've never seen someone use two 'X'es before!" The boy replied, "well, sir, I'm a stranger in a strange place. It seems like I oughtn't use my right name."

Once had a neighbor's non-farm dog useless heeler get out of their fenced yard and decide my front porch was the one he was supposed to be on. He dropped wet loose shit all over the porch and then nosed it into a central pile, smearing a big circle of shit into the outdoor carpeting with a little hill in the center. When I finally found his dog on the porch, neighbor thanked me for returning the dog, but refused to clean up the shit. I'll just shoot the dog and bury it out back if it happens again.
