If it were in the artist's basement, there wouldn't be windows. This must be the ground floor of a two-story house.
I wonder what's in the little curtained alcover behind the artist?

"Although he had exhibited his works with some success, by the early 1930s his neurotic behavior and reclusiveness had alienated him from the gallery world. In 1937, Ault moved to Woodstock, New York with Louise Jonas, who would become his second wife, and tried to put his difficulties in the past. In Woodstock the couple lived a penurious existence in a small rented cottage that had no electricity or indoor plumbing. Depending on Louise for income, Ault created some of his finest paintings during this time, but had difficulty selling them. In 1948, Ault was discovered dead five days after drowning in the Sawkill Brook on December 30, when he had taken a solitary walk in stormy and dark weather. The death was deemed a suicide by the coroner."

Here we have a faceless man who feels entitled to adorn his home with neutered symbols of feminine power. The prurient nude above the stairs exhibited for the benefit of the Male Gaze under the guise of "artistic expression" is least of the problems. Objectifying as it is, that nude is at least a woman.
The statue under the window at the foot of the stairs is simply horrifying for its implication. It is merely *part* of a woman, the part of interest to men. It is breasts, womb and genitals. Nothing more. It is not a depiction of a person carved into stone, it is the representation of an object, expressed as an object. It reduces the feminine form to sexual and reproductive components. The woman is not a woman. She has no mind (no head), no independence (no limbs), no *agency.* It is revolting and truly the stuff of nightmares.
Nobody should be exposed to this outside the context of understanding the horrors of patriarchy and promotion of art equity.

You could *get* booze during the Twenties. It wasn't illegal, as far as I know, to buy or consume it. Manufacturing, transporting, and selling it was the crime. I expect a lot of people who'd had the occasional beer prior to 1920 decided, "Hell, if they don't want us to have it, I'm by Gawd gonna buy it!" and drank more than they had before Prohibition. (Not to mention the chance of blindness or death from wood alcohol mixed into some of the libations.)
Prohibition did more to decrease U.S. citizens' respect for law and government than anything had before it.

The artist is handicapped in this regard. As a man, he doesn't understand turbulent flow like women. For women, fluid dynamics are a fact of life with which they must deal at all times. Men are mere passers-by in a world that doesn't fit their linear preconceptions.

It is a (clunky) variant of the Franklin stove, which typically is placed so the radiant heat from all its surfaces enters the room.

Of course not. Trans women *are* women and are just as familiar with turbulent flow due to their lived experiences, both physical and psychological. That you made such a judgement is extremely distressing given your area of specialization.

Of course not. Trans women *are* women and are just as familiar with turbulent flow due to their lived experiences, both physical and psychological. That you made such a judgement is extremely distressing given your area of specialization.

On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland

Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb

Yes, thank you. NBC News, Channel 10
At least two people were killed and three others were hurt in a workplace shooting in Chester, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, two law enforcement sources told NBC10.
Officers were dispatched to West 4th Street -- near Hayes Street -- around 8:30 a.m., Delaware County dispatchers said.
Delaware County Linen operates out of the location police responded to. The family-owned company serves other businesses with laundry services and linen rentals and sales.
Police sources later said that at least five people were shot and two had died. The suspected shooter is a former employee, sources said.
Expect a large police presence to continue in the area as police in other departments said there is a county-wide response to the scene.

Eh, songwriting and arranging, yes. Actual voice, not so much but when you are the writer--you can write for yourself to what fits your vocal abilities which Pete did. The demos by Pete for the band of the various songs indicate just what the other three added to Pete's song ideas and where they deviated from the original.
Daltrey had probably one of the longest runs as far as being able to do his Who vocals well into the 2000's but then he took care of his voice.

Youtube haz a video of a very young Eric Clapton playing with equally young Steve Winwood in a Hyde Park concert in 1969. Eric hides basically from the camera for most of the video but you can tell who it is by the playing.
Saw an interview with Pete Townshend where he comments on the early music scene in England of the 1960's. He recalls himself and Eric Clapton being invited to Brian Epstein's house to hear the newly completed Sgt Pepper's album I believe and the Beatles were all there. They played the whole thing for Pete and Eric and after it sunk in, Eric asked to hear the whole album again.

Their first 3 albums are awesome. After that, not so much. The drummer (Butch Vig) is also an incredible producer. He essentially made Nirvana into what they became. The original demo of Smells Like Teen Spirit was a forgettable, garage-band sounding song. Butch Vig took that song and the rest of their early songs and made them great.

They take measurements, make meaningful observations, etc. The video referenced above with Reed Trimmer... he was the first person to launch a sounding rocket into a tornado to get wind, pressure and other measurements.

In a later show on youtubz when Simon is touring with Roger playing old Who songs about a decade ago, Simon sings Goin Mobile which apparently Pete refused to perform on stage period.
Pete has an interesting voice if not particularly strong but you can tell where he took some vocal cues from Daltrey in his personal work since about mid nineties.
What I find interesting is that Pete purposefully downplayed his guitar playing in Who albums but his demos reflect more lead work instead of his rhythm and acoustic background work for much of the Who's halcyon years.
One of the interviews, post Entwistle's death, got Pete a lot of criticism because he noted that Entwistle nor Moon kept time in the band. That was more a musician commenting than a criticism but it caused a huge backlash from Moonie and Ox fans. Essentially Pete relegated himself to timekeeper on a lot of classic Who songs.

(In part) The Left, broadly defined, is in clear decline across Europe — while the Right, especially the far right, is thriving like it hasn’t done since 1945. Ahead of June’s European elections, the trend is unmistakable: social democrats, greens, and other left-wing parties are set to lose around forty seats in the new parliament. After the fall of the Partido Socialista prime minister António Costa in Portugal, Spain is today the only European Union (EU) country with a meaningfully left-wing government. While other governments may appear “progressive” on paper, such as Slovenia’s, many are either grand coalitions (like Denmark’s) or lean more toward the center than the left (like Germany’s). Events in Spain, then, are more decisive than might be imagined.

Harrison probably ended up being the musician post Beatles and was a pretty popular guy in rock land because he could poke fun at himself and the Beatles mystique. Ditto for Ringo.
McCartney never could nor could Lennon most of the time. The hysterically funny but biting lyrics of the Magical Misery Tour song, that was on National Lampoon Radio Dinner, was all basically from interviews that Lennon gave to the press post Yoko mating. I'm sure that Lennon did not lend a hand to that effort.

California Public Employees’ Retirement System (Calpers) on Monday said it would vote against all of Exxon’s directors at its shareholder meeting next week. Proxy adviser Glass Lewis last week recommended that shareholders reject Exxon’s lead independent director Joseph Hooley’s re-election, citing “unusual and aggressive tactics” against activist investors.
Majority Action, a leftist outfit, is also prodding institutional investors to oust CEO Darren Woods and Mr. Hooley for “attacking shareholder democracy and failing to address climate risk.” Far from protecting shareholder rights, these agitators want to punish Exxon and its investors for refusing to surrender.

When AP reports that “Putin says Russia prefers Biden to Trump, calling the US president more experienced and predictable,” how should we interpret this? Vladimir Putin hopes to help Donald Trump by tainting Joe Biden? Or by reminding Americans of his past meddling, Mr. Putin’s actually helping Mr. Biden? Or maybe he really just wants to signal to a Russian audience that he’s not depending on Mr. Trump for a Ukraine resolution?

This just isn't right. She *way* predates streaming and there was that whole kerfuffle with Spotify where she ditched the platform because it didn't pay as well as album sales (until streaming finished displacing the albums market, anyway). Or the four-figure ticket prices that still sell out.
She hit like a bomb at contemporary country's upswing, flawlessly shifted into pop, and her label has shown itself to be unbelievably skillful.
I'm not a fan of Swift's and I think her cultural status is as insane as the Beatles' was, but it isn't some conspiracy to force Taylor Swift on people.

Sponge Bro's mom had issues with similar. She'd just randomly have dizzy spells and headaches. They determined it was an inner ear thing and were able to give her a PT thing that would allow her to correct it relatively quickly when it happened.
I think you'll be properly diagnosed and given a plan that will come out OK for you.

She was created the same way Gaga (or the beatles) was, and her promotion is via algorithm.
This isn't difficult.

"Ass" and all the variations on that word. Whether there is any affection behind it -- that's anybody's guess.

Which corresponds to the beginning of algorithm streaming services and the death of music purchasing.
You're making my point for me.

LOL I love you man and I mean that, and I've seen some crazy shit on here but dude you are stealing the cake.
Taylor Swift was not created. If you can't hear that the woman knows how to write a catchy tune I don't know what to tell you. I followed her when I was listening to country in 07. It was obvious she was going to be big from the moment of her first song not to mention album.
And like I said I can't stand the bitch because she sold out.

Plastic junk? Researchers find tiny particles in men's testicles
MAY 22, 2024, 8:07 AM ET
In part, "We're just at the tip of the iceberg," says Campen, who has used this same technique to quantify the levels of microplastics in other tissues and organs.
The amount in the testicles is considerably higher than what was discovered in placenta, and second to what they observed in the brain, says Yu.
Exactly how the microplastics are making their way into the testicles requires further study. Campen suspects they could be "hitchhiking" through the gut via tiny fat particles that get metabolized and then fan out across the body."

Oh, I'm not saying anyone is forced to use the streaming services. But if they do they're getting what the algorithm is paid to produce, same as any search results.

Israel conquered that land (again). Spoils of war. Take it over. Those people have shown they can't play nice. If they keep up their shenanigans - move them to an encampment on the Sinai Peninsula and let Egypt deal with them.

She hit like a bomb at contemporary country's upswing, flawlessly shifted into pop, and her label has shown itself to be unbelievably skillful.
I'm not a fan of Swift's and I think her cultural status is as insane as the Beatles' was, but it isn't some conspiracy to force Taylor Swift on people.

No algorithms back then, but I was crushed to learn that Peter, Paul and Mary were a 'created' group.

Well, it's not just us boomers who love The Beatles, too numerous to name musicians site them as influences or recognize them as significant contributors to popular musical and musical vocabulary and lexicon generally.

That’s not a dig at her except for her choice to follow the money instead of the music. Kinkade was a hell of a painter. He chose to focus on the money hook.
