Mid-Morning Art Thread
Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (Rosso Fiorentino) The Pietà is a classic subject of Renaissance art, dominated by Michelangelo's glorious sculpture. Many examples have a static feel about them...more portrait than exposition of Mary's sorrow. I found Fiorentino's Pietà to be almost painful to look at, and of course that is exactly the emotion one expects, but rarely gets.

This escape marked a turning point in the maturation of the artist, in whose works a darker theme entered, such as in "Lamento o Pietà" (1528, Sansepolcro) and "Transfiguration" (1528-1530,Cathedral of Città di Castello).
In 1530 Francesco I called him to France, as an official painter, to renew the Chà ¢ teau de Fontainebleau; here Rosso Fiorentino worked with other Italians such as Francesco Primaticcio (1505-1570), forming the Fontainebleau school which had a great influence on French painting of the time.
The Pomona Pavilion (1532-1535) and the Gallery of Francis I (1534-1537) decorated with Francesco Primaticcio for the Royal Palace of Fontainebleau, with a more contained and elegant mannerism, in line with the taste of the French court.
Giovanni Battista of Jacopo, Rosso Fiorentino died in Fontainebleau in 1540, leaving France's ten-year work Fontainebleau school, from which the Italian Mannerist style spread to Northern Europe.||

are very modern looking.
||Mannerism is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century.
Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Vasari, and early Michelangelo. Where High Renaissance art emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, Mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant. Notable for its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities, this artistic style privileges compositional tension and instability rather than the balance and clarity of earlier Renaissance painting. Mannerism in literature and music is notable for its highly florid style and intellectual sophistication.
The definition of Mannerism and the phases within it continue to be a subject of debate among art historians.||

He is commonly portrayed as a redhead. Doesn't mean he was one. The Bible doesn't mention his hair color.
The evil Egyptian deity Set was also portrayed as having red hair. I think it's more of that same "redheads are evil" kind of thing with Judas.

When David McCallum played Judas in '65, his hair was not quite red, but it was certainly not dark -- closer to blond.

I have a M-F job, but nobody is checking my face or throat at work, so shaving every 48 hours (4 times a week) works out fine for me. Old-fashioned safety-razor style, with brush and cream or soap. I enjoy shaving now.

My late first husband grew a beard in winter and shave it off in summer. He kept the mustache year round. I didn't like the mustache but hated the beard. Hubbymayhem is clean shaven and generally shaves his head as well.

I lived a long time with never even breaking a bone, although I was a Boy Scout for 12 years and served in the infantry for many years. At this late date, they want to do this major surgery. I’m not sure if I’m even gonna do it. I have to think about it and maybe get some consultations. It’s called a heart palpitation or something to stop a fib. Does anyone have any experience with that? If you do, you’d be helping me out because I don’t have anyone to really bounce this around with.

When I had my ablation, some first week on the job nurse shaved me from my armpits to my knees. She she got to the 'nteresting' parts, she told the supervision nurse "I've never touched a man there!!" The experienced nurse laughed and said "Today's the day Honey!!"

I have afib, did the ablation surgery (cryo version) about 5 years ago. Doc said it had an 80% success rate. I landed in the 20% range. Surgery worked great for 21 months, then I got Covid and afib returned immediately. I truly believe C19 restarted the afib as other ailments I've had going back 40 years also returned in the 6 months after Covid.

This is a lesson on how the media shapes our politics.
The press wanted Biden out. So they gave him the Trump treatment—burying him in an onslaught of negative news.
In a few weeks, he caved.
Now, the focus is changing once again. They've shifted back to the real enemy. (1/9)
For the brief period of time that the press was arrayed against Biden, everything seemed to suddenly come into place for Republicans. They were elated. The wind was in their sails. Victory seemed to be inevitable.
Biden was isolated—under siege. Trump had all the momentum. (2/9)
But many Republicans didn't fully realize why. Yes, Biden was a terrible candidate. Yes, Trump had just survived an attempt on his life.
But the through-line in all this was that the press was suddenly treating Trump better than they ever had before—or ever would again. (3/9)
Just to give a few quick examples: Look at this Washington Post headline. No, really. Look at it.
"Trump's emotional entrance."
"A fitting culmination."
Trump "makes his entrance."
When has the Washington Post ever written about Donald Trump this way before? (4/9)
Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 26, 2024 10:42 AM (wse2C)
"Trump's emotional appearance" (New York Times)
"Trump calls for unity" (NY Daily News)
"Trump savors convention crowd" (NBC)
"Trump faithful moved" by his entrance (BBC)
Trump's speeches are usually "dark," "angry," "filled with far-right dog whistles." But not this one. (5/9)
Obviously, it was still the media, and it was still Donald Trump. You can find plenty of negative coverage. But there was a notable softening of the tone; for once, they weren't firing on all cylinders against him.
And they were firing on all cylinders against Biden. (6/9)
In his new book, @AuronMacintyre describes how the rise of mass democracy shifted political power from the old power centers—state, church, guild, landed nobility, etc—to the institutions that shaped public opinion: Education, entertainment industry, the press, and so on. (7/9)
The past few weeks have vindicated that insight. The media and other narrative-forming institutions shape our political discourse in profound, fundamental ways. Even conservatives, despite their hostility to the media, are playing on their terms. (8/9)

Trump obviously took for granted going in that he would have this level of hostility, but Democrats assume slavish press compliance 🧵/1
Republicans may not know it yet, but the ground has shifted under their feet. There are forces at work that are bigger and more powerful than they are—and they're always one step ahead of the GOP.
If the Right wants to win, we have to understand this—and act accordingly. (9/9)

I probably been in a fib for a years and no doctor did a thing about it. Now this guy tells me forget the stroke being an a fib can damage your heart so that’s where I am. I wish the other doctors eight years ago said that, but they didn’t. Not exactly excited about the procedure because they said it would be general anesthesia this from a guy who never even broke a pinky. Oh well, I know people do it all the time, but I’ve never spent the night in the hospital and to me. I’m not so sanguine on the entire event.

I feel your pain. I never get sick, no headaches, never had the flu, or chickenpox, or measels, etc. Never spent a night in the hospital. I was a little "concerned when they said sooo, you'll be in the hospital for a week, they're going to run you down a table saw, the doc is going to be playing with your heart in his lap and uh..well good luck.
Things went great though, its like it never happened, other than I feel like I'm 20 years old again. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing. lol

I'm contemplating switching to a safety razor - Merkur 34C to be precise. Which do you use?
Posted by: Heavy Meta at July 26, 2024
***
I have several vintage Gillettes ranging from the Thirties to the Sixties, and two modern safety razors: a Fatip Open Comb Slant, which looks fearsome and isn't (but shaves very well), and the classic Merkur Progress Adjustable. All of them shave beautifully, but I find myself packing the Progress if I'm going on a trip.
Merkurs are good razors. (Though I have heard their blades are not that good.)

Philly has devolved into Mogadishu. Last time I was in that third world shit hole I moved Meta Daughter out of her apartment when she graduated. Philly can go full Bartertown as far as I'm concerned.

I shave with the grain on the first pass, against on the second, and if I need a third, across the grain.

A Democrat Congresswoman Is Engaged to the Grandson of a Famous Palestinian Terrorist Behind the Munich Massacre
-
California Rep. Sara Jacobs holds a peculiar position on the Israel-Hamas war.
Despite her Jewish faith, Rep. Jacobs is prominently anti-Israel when it comes to the conflict. She previously called upon the United States government to withdraw arms funding for the Benjamin Netanyahu’s forces, and her remarks often focus on the impact on Palestinian civilians rather than the atrocities of the Hamas-led regime.

I didn't love the moustache either, as far as the poking me all the time - sometimes it felt like tiny electrical shocks to my top lip. But, as I said earlier, he was not "him" without it.

Biden does what he is told. As does Jill despite all the bs to the contrary.
Kamala does and will too.
This is how the Left rolls. They don't promote free thinkers, they promote puppets. Why does every media outlet sound essentially the same? Because they are the borg.

I could see RFK Jr in some health related position in the Trump administration, but I saw him pulling from Biden as a protest vote.
Maybe he saw the ineptitude of the Secret Service and decided, "Screw this".

Research the doctor, make sure he don't have a feather hat and a bone in his nose. My friend had afib for some years and it got bad. real bad. He barley slept for a month and was too weak to pee in the middle of the night. He had the procedure, and 2 weeks later he jumped on his harley and went to the laconia run in new hampshire. He's doing great. If...if you got a good doctor then just do it.

I worked in Center City for years. Prior to the Summer of Love, even parts of North Philly were relatively clean and safe. Now, you couldn't pay me to go into town. It sucks to know your daughter is terrified to walk to class and school administration refuse to do anything about crime on campus because its racist, yo.

Also career 11 Series. Widowmaker heart attack couple years back with stent installed next morning. 6 months of cardio rehab (3 x per week. Treadmill/bike with EKG monitor. Plus 5 hrs walking per week at home)
Had to have 4 sensors for the EKG. Kept falling off. Easiest was shaving all acreage north of the belly button. Once a week was sufficient. For me, better than rolling over and dying.
