29 The two Native American figures at center, combined with the falls, identify the setting as North America, but their diminished presence in scale and number reinforces the false idea of the “vanishing Indian” and is meant to signal impending transformation rather than acknowledge their stolen sovereignty.

68 "trash" is a relatively new concept, isn't it? The idea that putting something in a magic receptacle converts it into this new category of object we call "trash", whose only purpose is to get carried away by people you pay to carry it away. Sure, there's transfer stations and landfills and possibly incinerators involved after that, but not that anyone knows or sees or cares about.

Once upon a time, you just threw stuff you didn't want out into the street, and by morning the wild animals and hobos would have scavenged every particle of it for some ungodly use or another.

And before that, you just dropped it on the ground and kept walking.

"What Happens When All the Toilets in Toronto Flush at the Same Time"

Posted by: naturalfake at October 09, 2025 09:52 AM (iJfKG)

79 I guess the Mona Lisa was a big deal because at the time, people weren't painting people who looked like people. Everything was basically some form of fancy cartoon, and no one was even trying to actually capture what a human face really, truly looks like. Why would you? Photography obviously wasn't a thing yet, so there was no expectation of verisimilitude. The idea of making a painting of a face that actually looks exactly like a face was... weird. No one had ever really seen a need to do such a thing. So when a guy finally did, it was haunting and weird and noteworthy.

I guess. I don't know. I'm just rambling.

Your "rambling" is very astute. There is a lot going on in The Mona Lisa, including atmospheric perspective (the technique of making more distant features more faded). And her enigmatic smile is very compelling. Da Vinci worked on that painting for years.

•“Something public and permanent.”
•“Lives needs to be ruined beyond repair.”
•“Lets actually destroy them. Grind them.'
•“Im soooo ready to show up with guns lol.”

It also has a cool history. The painting was stolen in the early 1900s by an Italian, who felt that it belonged in Da Vinci's home country and not the Louvre. It was ultimately recovered and returned to the museum.

116 Once upon a time there was a dog with a beautiful tail that he was very fond of. This dog was walking across rail road tracks when suddenly a fast train came by and cut off his tail. The dog wanted his tail back and looked at it as the train passed over it. The dog suddenly lunged forward to retrieve his tail. The train cut the dog's head off. Moral of the story: don't lose your head over a little piece of tail.

Lake Erie would become an extension of the Detroit River. So Lake Huron would be connected to Lake Ontario via a long river. Erie is very shallow compared to the other lakes.

This, however, assumes that the Milankovic Cycles stop before Niagara Falls erode away. It's much more likely that we will have a return to continental glaciation first, and then all bets are off. At the end of the last glaciation, we went through a complex series of different drainage patterns, withe the lakes draining through the Mississippi system, then the Hudson River, and only after that, the St Lawrence.

The border runs between the Horseshoe Falls and the smaller American Falls, which are on the left side of the painting.

202 trash" is a relatively new concept, isn't it? The idea that putting something in a magic receptacle converts it into this new category of object we call "trash",
——-

Pre-1964 trash (or some arbitrary date) is “protected” in National Parks and is unlawful to remove. Considered historical artifacts. Near as I can tell, Cowboys lived on coffee, tobacco, and biscuits.

Boy, do they get all pissy when I leave my beer cans strewn around! Sheesh.

I can get people to start pinging pretty easily, many historical sites have problems with “taggers” spray painting graffiti right over ancient petroglyphs. Of course it’s disgusting but I take the extreme position that it’s equally valid, who are we to criticize their culture, etc. It’s fun to watch their gears clash, and strip out, is all.

215 I check out the hometown rag now and then just to see what’s what. Turns out the homosexual city supervisor was arrested for drugging some boy and buggering him while passed out.

Huge flamer and “historic first” with his “husband”, just a fee years ago all the photos were him smiling, pink neckties and fag flag dust masks and carefully choreographed photos and homosexual rallies.

His mug shot looks much different. “I’m fucked”, he’s only 45 though looks 60. Wonder how is smiling “husband” is taking the news? Of course NOBODY could have foreseen any of this.

Senator Schumer didn’t shut down the government because he’s “fighting for the American people.”
He did it because he’s as nervous as a pregnant nun about the socialist wing of his party not loving him.

219 "Neither is hanging someone from a tree by their feet and stripping their skin off like a catfish."

How is that helpful?...except to give these moral defectives more bad ideas how to kill us.

The Constitution needs to be enforced, judgement to be swift and final, in proportion to the crime (Imprisonment or death) but certainly humane.

Look who are flinging bricks and yelling "No White Supremacy!"; it's now possible that we've reached the end of the *civilized* Republic; so maybe we need to focus more on those suddenly wealthy criminals in Dim and Repuke leadership, Media and every alphabet agency like FB-EYE and C-YA, etc.

I'll wait right here. (Maybe someone ordered pizza.)
