20 Yo, listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen (To listen, to listen, to listen)

25 Here, we have a view from the Big Dame Hunter as he approaches his quarry. Having caught sight of the herd, he will now move to the side to approach from the flank. As we will see, most of the dames will scatter - but the hunter is already focusing his efforts on specific individuals to improve his chance of success.

Let us observe as the hunt unfolds.

42 From the Museum:

This is the largest, the last, and in many ways, the most ambitious work from Cézanne’s lifelong exploration of the time-honored theme of nudes in a landscape. It is also, perhaps, in its unfinished state, the purest and most serene witness to the man whom Paul Gauguin described as spending “entire days on mountaintops reading Virgil,” dreaming of wooded glades populated with beautiful figures who, if not exactly participants in a narrative as such, are full of animation and interaction. Perhaps it is its grand nobility—its authority as something beyond time, “like art in the museums,” as Cézanne said—that made it so attractive to many artists.

And she's given up the alcohol and pizzas and the pies
And now she looks like she's ready to die

I made the Olympic shortlist, world cups, world champs, gold medals etc, Trained at Olympic Training Center, & enjoy world class levels in an Olympic sport for decades. Enjoying continued fun & success today (beyond that game)

But I saw behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz LONG ago

NOW…so do you.

This is some vile [poop emoji] that many are shocked by… however the Olympics have been this level of darkness underneath the shiny veneer for a LONG LONG time.Corruption, cheating, drugs, greed, lies, threats, bribes, sexual manipulation & abuse… the list goes on and I just learn more as the years progress - from my direct experience years ago, as well as from athlete friends still clinging to the game.

Is it any surprise? No. Not to anyone who’s been in it. We keep our mouths shut mostly. What can we say? But now… seeing this… we can not be silent.

A certain amount of athletes have enjoyed success honestly in our sports. It’s a ton of fun on the surface at times, especially at the start when we are more naive. but make no mistake… we have clawed our way through muck we never knew existed, underneath all the shiny “glory”.

>>The GOP establishment will echo bullshit lib narratives about conservatives in an effort to appear “sensible” to the people who hate them. While the libs who hate them attack the same establishment GOP types for speaking the truth about Kamala Harris.

Again, for all practical purposes, there is no oppositional party to the Democrats, the GOP in whole and in part is an illegitimate political party, properly understood.

🚨🚨🚨 Yes, Sen. Mark Kelly directly worked to secure an investment in his balloon company from Chinese firm Ten Cent (and got it) -- and then the Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency, DCSA, SUSPENDED the process to grant Kelly's company clearance for U.S. defense work.

I've included the there main stories I wrote.

The spokesperson for Kelly's balloon company lied to me that they had secured DCSA's seal of approval.

The DCSA aims to protect U.S. security assets from malign foreign influence.

I first broke these stories back in 2020 - and then followed up on them in 2023 when a Chinese spy balloon was traversing our country.

I thought it was pretty relevant at the time. Here's the three stories I broke on in reverse chronology - the latest, in 2023, and then the two stories I first broke in 2020 on the same topic.

277 There's obviously a level of diminishing returns when it comes to money in political campaigns.

It's probably much more complicated than just levels of money, needing to include overall knowledge of the race and personalities within the electorate, but Senate races at the state level seem to be the point, in my mind, where the diminishing returns become incredibly obvious and undeniable.


Completely agree. Political consultants don't seem to be able to think beyond "buy TV ads", although some of Trump's team do seem to be embracing newer stuff. Remember the Trump profile rising to the background of Thus Spake Zarathustra?

Also, this article by Mark Simon is spot on. His thesis is that gaslighting is now very much more difficult, because there is a large community of people out there trying to make a name for themselves by showing that the "speaker" is full of crap. TBH, it reminds me of a scientific conference, where everyone wants to show how smart they are by dunking on the speaker. It has the very salutory effect of making people afraid to get too far ahead of the data.

Two top House security aides under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi got stark warnings from police the night before the Jan. 6 riots that protesters might try to breach the U.S. Capitol through its tunnel systems and block lawmakers from voting to certify Joe Biden's presidential election win, according to newly obtained memos and text messages.

The documents obtained by Just the News also confirm that Pelosi's team played a role in the botched security planning for that fateful day.

"We have identified numerous open source comments indicating groups intentions of finding the tunnel entrances and confronting/blocking the MOCs (Members of Congress)," Capitol Police Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher wrote Deputy House Sergeant at Arms Tim Blodgett at 8:55 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021 in an email that got forwarded overnight to Blodgett's boss, then-Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving.

Politician endorsements rarely make a difference (Trump appears to be the exception in primaries at least) and even FDR got his comeuppance at interfering in the 1938 Democrat Senate primaries to get FDR stooges to replace some moderate opposition to his increasingly radical agenda.

They do matter as far as access to donors and somewhat favorable news coverage but they probably cost as many votes as they gain because some voters also hate celebrities as well.

From what I recollect, political science research basically showed no statistical significance to overall effect on elections itself but significant effects on campaign funds raised and coverage. Pretty much a wash. Celebrity candidates are a bit different and it can lead to wins at the primary level and perhaps at the higher level as well--see John Glenn and Harrison Schmitt (also Jack Swigert).

Honestly, it bugged me that Paris would mock Christians using something so iconically Italian. It made no sense to me.

There is an alternative option. What if the art director DID pull from a pic of Christ...and pulled from one IN THE LOUVRE ITSELF?

Behold: The Wedding at Cana from Louvre

A boisterous, celebratory feast like we saw at the opening ceremony. And Christ's halo is MUCH more like the one the zaftig lady was wearing.

319 277 There's obviously a level of diminishing returns when it comes to money in political campaigns.
------
Back about a ten to fifteen years ago when I engaged in empirical research, at least in congressional primaries, money demonstrated a cubic relationship with percentage of vote and winning. At a certain extreme point, one can simply buy the election personally (see Michael Huffington's win for a congressional seat in California or Jon Corzine's win over Franks in NJ). But, for most elections, there is a certain threshold of money that a candidate must raise (probably also correlates from memory with their overall candidate quality) to be a serious contender. If one has credible opposition, then as the amount spent rises, the chances of victory actually start dipping because the opposition is a quality candidate too. But at a certain stage, in state races or perhaps even a governor's race (see Corzine again), vastly overspending the opponent can end up increasing one's vote share over the normal baseline.

327 It's worse than the same painting featured on Paul Cezanne dot org/The Large Bathers 1898-1905

In part, "The Large Bathers, 1898-1905 is the largest of Cezanne's pictures and because it is also the most formal in aspect, it has been cited often as an example of his ideal of composition and his restoration of classic monumentality after its lapse during the nineteenth century. It is exceptional among his work, however, in the marked symmetry and the adaptation of the nude forms to the triangular pattern of the trees and river. There is here, a search for constraining forms, an over-determined order which has to do with Cezanne's anxiety about women. Beautiful as it is, the composition is not the typical Renaissance pyramid, for the largest figures and the greatest compactness are in smaller pyramids at the sides; the central part, which is usually filled by a dominant object, is empty or unstressed, and the apex is intercepted by the frame. The triangle here is a form of constraint, with another expression than the older solemn design."

No, wouldn't hang the huge, strange painting but it's exhibited locally. (The Philadelphia Museum of Art)

Sure. Why not?

But Janet, baby, do you not understand that there isn't really any new capital? Most capital - globally - is encumbered. There is damn little of anything owned free-and-clear that is not pledged against any debt.

Where are you going to get your new capital, Janet? You can't even expropriate it, so don't answer with that. Sure you can steal unencumbered capital, but there's not much of it and you'll crush the value if you try, as well as trigger a collapse.

So what's your plan? Where you gonna get it?

421 I couldn’t answer the last thread because I was teaching - I don’t teach Yoga. I have a barre based workout - based in yoga, Pilates, ballet, musically driven. While you will see pikes, you won’t have endless yoga poses. This will get your heart rate up and you are going to sweat. The closest I get to yoga is a balance and core strength class. I teach a class which is what most people think about with barre based workout, small moves, etc., a cardio class with platforms, etc. but we still use the barre (which I taught twice today) and functional strength with weights. 🙂

423 Instead of term limits, how about attacking the deep state directly with a 12-year limit on any Federal pay?

Constitutional elected or appointed offices seems okay for later consideration.

I would like ALL non-elected non-Congress approved positions to have a 12-year limit for Federal payments.

431 btw what's the deal with that US rugby star? "she" does not look like a she?

it's rugby so basically Wild West according to NCAA so very well could be a male player on the US women's team

meanwhile FH girls (and yes they are all girls) managed a tie this morning vs Spain so that is actually really good? we barely qualified

She was Obama's chosen head of the Fed but Trump picked the current Fed chair when her term expired. She is now Biden's Secretary of Treasury.

Or maybe it's pronounced with a short 'a'. It could be the derogatory nickname of a Mr. Bathers.
