46 All I know of irises is that snails like to sleep on the backs of their broad leaves. And it was my job to remove them. At first, this was drudgery. But then I realized how beautifully snails splatter against fences.

Our neighboring fence was an escargot killing field.

75 I like van Gogh. This one lacks his distinctive personality and character. It seems generic. I've seen a few others that were lovely but completely lacking in his personal style. Nice but a bit boring. Thanks CBD!

For fans of van Gogh... There is an animated movie called Loving Vincent. They animated his paintings. Dozens of artists worked for years to create a movie that looks like it was painted by VvG. It's a neat little investigation into his death with some suggesting that he was murdered and an investigator talking to the people who saw him last. The animation is interesting.

I think it's good to show that Impressionist artists in particular with their idiosyncratic style weren't just some shmoes throwing swirly crap or dots or whatever on their canvases,

but instead were classically trained artists who purposefully used those classical skills to paint something new (at the time) and different.

Actually, incorrect, probably going to be +1 to +3 in the Senate. The House is the worry of course. Economically, as this starts to be felt by Americans, the House will shape up probably around +10. At this point on the economy, you've done what you can do to move it. Now Bessent and Trump just need to cheerlead the hell out of it.

If the economy stalls out, then yes, the House is in danger.

Metal appears to have a solid live scene, but remaining niche, with a dearth of crossover success. My pet theory is that the genre's competitive downtuning of guitars (to B-standard and beyond!) hinders the ability to produce a clean mix for mainstream tastes; as supporting evidence, I submit the prevalence of relegating the bass player to a backing track (not on stage).

201 Who cares?

If Trump put out a meme of the Obamas where Barack was mounting up on Reggie Love while Michelle and that Macron broad shave each other's balls, that would be fine, too.

If Trump just went on Truth Social that he's going to have the Obamas tortured to death by a Cossack knouter, it would be better.

Why do they deserve to be treated with the dignity they never afforded us bitter clingers and deplorables?

244 Paging Buck Throckmorton:

The company said Friday that it would take charges of more than $26 billion, the bulk of which includes write-offs and cash payments for canceled EV products and costs of resizing its EV supply chain... The announcement sent Stellantis (STLA) shares crashing. They fell as much as 30%.

The strategy revision follows similar — and expensive — actions from Ford and General Motors in recent weeks... Many carmakers in the United States had invested heavily in EV plans in response to strict environmental regulations put in place by the Biden administration...

But the Trump administration has rolled back those emissions rules along with financial support for EVs. It is also challenging states’ authority to set their own tougher rules.

Commenting on the charges of €22.2 billion ($26.2 billion), Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said they “largely reflect the cost of over-estimating the pace of the energy transition.” The company also said in a statement that the shift to EVs “needs to be governed by demand rather than command.”

Perhaps, but the little I bother to watch has most Republicans running away with the speed of sound.

Remember, J.J.'s Morning Report: On Saturday, the Democrat Socialists of America celebrated hitting 100,000 members. Almost on cue, their footprint in organizing anti-ICE so-called “protests” continues to grow.

And, for example, BBC, 'The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world,' 13 May 2019

Run with what they have or risk mobs outside their homes in protest as happened to some in the US Supreme Court?

306 Per the script:

Jerry: So we're gonna make the Post Office pay for my new stereo now?

Cosmo Kramer: It's a write-off for them.

Jerry: How is it a write-off?

Cosmo Kramer: They just write it off.

Jerry: Write it off what?

Cosmo Kramer: Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.

Jerry: You don't even know what a write-off is.

Cosmo Kramer: Do you?

Jerry: No, I don't.

Cosmo Kramer: But they do. And they're the ones writing it off.

President Trump: King of the Jungle (@xerias)

They were the very openers of the clip, followed by Hillary Clinton as a warthog and Kareen Jeffries as a meercat riding on the back, and then several other high echelon Ds portrayed as animals. Lastly, Trump was the lion, the king of the jungle.

It's an obvious take off of the very successful Lion King of years ago.
