52 Goya's 'black paintings' affect me deeply. The story I've read is Goya, who was deaf and elderly when these were painted, had fallen madly in love with his beautiful young interpreter, which was clearly futile on his part and never expressed--at least not to her. According to some biographers, it was this impossible love that fueled the creation of these incredibly dark--even cynical--works.

79 The lovely and cultured Mrs naturalfake and I saw this on our recent visit to Spain.

This is one of the "Black Paintings" that Goya decorated his home with toward the end of his life.

Sort of like Rothko's "chapel" on the Rice U. campus painted before his suicide.

It a proudly negative reflection on life and humanity.

The Prado Museum in Madrid has them all.

If and when you can, see the Prado! I believe I enjoyed that even more than the Louvre.

BONUS! Everyone is familiar with the Italian Renaissance and the Prado has that, but it's also loaded with the best collection of Flemish Renaissance paintings. Which is a whole 'other thing.

DOUBLE BONUS!! You can see the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch at the Prado as well.

Posted by: Lady Who Always Has a Burning Question at July 23, 2024 09:43 AM (JCLJi)

92 I'm not saying it was aliens but it was aliens.

Art historian Juan José Junquera has questioned the authenticity of the Black Paintings. In 2003, he came to the conclusion that they could not have been painted during Goya's lifetime.[18][19] According to Junquera, contemporary legal documents describe the Quinta del Sordo as a villa with only one floor, and the second storey was not added until after Goya's death. If the upper floor did not exist during Goya's time, then the Black Paintings (or at least those found on the upper floor) could not have been the work of Goya. He speculates that Goya's son Javier may have created the paintings, and Javier's son Mariano passed them off as the work of Goya for financial gain. Junquera's theory was rejected by Goya scholar Nigel Glendinning, who published an academic study defending the paintings' authenticity and later held a lecture in Madrid restating his conviction. He made connections between the Black Paintings and other works by Goya (e.g. The Second of May 180, and pointed to various documentary evidence, including an 1812 inventory of the artist's possessions catalogued by Goya's son, Javier, which included the work.

96 I like the simplicity of this. The sketchy, incomplete style sets and enhances the mood. The figures emerge from a totally black background. The setting seems like a dark room lit only by a single candle. The light is just strong enough to highlight what's immediately in front of it. My favorite part of this is the skull-like face on the guy on the right. Very creepy.

Posted by: Kris at July 23, 2024 09:43 AM (hR8f8)

97 Okay, I think I kinda like it. That chick's expression is still very Feldman-esque but it's definitely countered balanced by the dead guy on the right.

The new programming patch has gone out to their NPCs. The king is dead, long live the queen!

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at July 23, 2024 10:00 AM (1Nxff)

160

Archive, in part: The left figure, ostensibly female, leans over a bowl with a spoon mid-motion, her eyes fixed on the viewer with a penetrating gaze. The figure to the right,


shrouded in shadow, presents as a skull-like visage, enhancing the overall grim atmosphere of the scene. Together, the figures and the dark tone of the painting evoke themes of decay, old age, and perhaps the primal nature of human existence. The heavy use of shadow and the rough, almost aggressive brushstrokes are indicative of Goya’s later works, where his disillusionment with society and preoccupation with mortality are palpable.

A symbol for the coming weekend? Ghoulish, with humor.

Would pass hanging. Thanks!

Story time. An old friend of mine, retired now from the Foreign Service, tells the story of her A-100 (or whatever Baby Diplomat Basic Training is called) class. Back in the day, they actually used to train little diplomats on proper etiquette, and would do a formal dinner for practice. My friend, having better things to do, raised her hand and asked the charming southern lady who taught them etiquette whether service would be a la russe, or a la francaise. Charming southern lady didn't miss a beat and said "Y'all may be excused". Later, her classmates demanded to know what the magic words were that got her out of having to be at the dinner. She replied, if you have to ask, you had to be there.

Posted by: BignJames

Three or four in panic before the different round (maybe 9mm?).

The first three weren't him, but they likely signaled to him to start shooting (wildly). The first three were measured and consistent, with near perfect intervals in between and no echoes. Probably from indoors.

Ten seconds later the SS (hopefully it was them, who knows) apparently fired for whatever reason.

Mentioned in JJ's thread that not many news clips are letting the shots play all the way through to that last one ten seconds after the shooting had stopped. Might make people question the narrative.

Dailymail video of the event, the last shot is fired at 20 seconds, ten seconds after the shooting had stopped.

I wonder what her termination package was. People like her all get Party parachutes.

My guess is "security advisor" for one or more big corps, maybe a book deal but probably not. I'm sure she's getting a low-effort, high-pay job to act as balm for her scalded ego. That's how it works. You go from power player to kept woman (or man), but you stay on the reservation despite the resentment.

Trump was saying that Kamala was going to be the nominee before Biden dropped out. Before Biden dropped out, the Trump campaign refused to schedule a VP debate because they didn't know who Kamala would choose as her VP. Within an hour of the announcement of Biden's giving up the nomination, the Trump campaign put out an ad attacking Kamala.

Nobody is ever punished for lying to Congress. Unless you are a fully-developed and important Party enemy, "perjury" doesn't exist. Lying to Congress is the norm. Everybody does it, and Congress knows it. Hearings are just a sham. They make some soundbites and those *might* matter - they probably did in this case, and probably influence her agreement to resign - but there are never any kind of deep consequences that come out of a congressional hearing.

No Party Man has ever or will ever be prosecuted for lying to Congress. Congress calls people in, those people lie, politicians get some soundbites, then everyone goes for drinks. That's the game, and it doesn't change. Hell, it even applies to non-Party Men. Only Party enemies ever see a deviation, and even that is rare.

Congressional hearings just don't matter.

Full retirement at 25 years, and assuming she didn't use all of her vacation and sick leave she likely had two years in the bank.

She took the current SS role in 2022, so she's got about two years at this pay grade for retirement.

She's going to be fine.

She had already retired from the Secret Service. This will not affect her pension and benefits.

She assured us yesterday that she - alone of all people - was the best person to lead the Secret Service. So she is denying the country the best leader for the organization. Seems kind of mean.

But I think the rule she has proven is that once a Democrat criticizes your performance, you are cooked. She could have taken ten hours of Jim Jordan's grilling. But AOC asked a question that she wouldn't answer.

Not a loose application but ActBlue uses sheer illegal fraud via illegal donations from unwitting donors whose information has been harvested. Similar in a lot of ways with ballot harvesting fraud.

They are insane there... I looked a couple of days ago and they hate Vance... They also worship Trump like a God.. Creepy
Posted by: It's me donna

Meh, CTH Sundance has a different view of US affairs beyond the rah rah GOP versus Dems. Part of it was he faced a serious doxxing and deplatforming attempts after the Biden junta took power. He moved to his own platform that permits him the ability to be unfettered.

His view, is that the IC and WEF oligarchs are basically running everything in "our democracy" and politicians, both left and right are compromised puppets. Thus, Vance, rising through a compromised system must be compromised himself. Trump was outside politics and thus represents a threat to the IC and WEF types.

Vance's rise was definitely funded by Peter Thiel in his OH Senate race and Thiel is buddies somewhat with Elon Musk and the rest of the older libertarian tech moguls.

New wine in old bottles as it is similar to what Plato described about politics in his metaphor of the cave. Most of us only see shadows dancing on the wall of what is going on is the idea and to understand reality--one must go deeper in understanding.

467 Jill Biden was Cheatle's patron. Once Biden assumed vegetable status and he was no longer running for Prezzie, Jill lost her leverage. Suspect that Kamala wanted no part of allowing a Biden patronage appointment responsible for her personal security. Thus, the sudden rise of Dems criticizing her because the patron could no longer shield her.

Posted by: whig


Definitely part. Still think Butler was Jill's op without knowledge from the other inside players. Now they're cleaning house of the Bidenites since it went splat. (If it had worked it would be a different story, but...well...)

Posted by: Brother Tim sez fuck cancer at July 23, 2024 10:53 AM (OUMaO)

468 Did Cheatle just take her ball and go home or did she own up to real responsibility? Because this is the key. Accountability has to reenter our system. If we just let the politically inconvenient go its not helping.
