39 From the National Gallery of Ireland.

The painting is only 15.6 by 23.7 cm. That's pretty tiny.

In 1811, the engraver and publisher William Cooke approached Turner with a proposal to publish a print series entitled Picturesque Views of the Southern Coast of England. This watercolour, in which the waves are so accurately depicted, their frothy white crests being blown away by the strong wind, appeared in part six of the series published in 1815.

The rigging of the ship labouring in the heavy swell, the clouds highlighted by a bright shaft of sunlight, even the gannets with their characteristic black wing tips are recorded in great detail. The ship, probably a Royal Naval vessel, is dwarfed by the dreaded Mewstone.

This dramatic natural feature, which lies at the eastern end of Plymouth Sound off Wembury Bay, notoriously claimed many lives over the centuries. During the summer of 1813 Turner spent time travelling along the coast, filling sketchbooks with his observations."

51 I think that is the kind of painting that "commercial" artists aspire to, and can't quite hit. Not knocking them, someone has to make art for business offices and waiting rooms -- and it has to be at a competitive price point, so there is likely to be a discernable difference between that and fine art, even if you can't put it into words. Something to do with the amount of time it must have taken, the care and thought involved.

Posted by: dantesed at March 31, 2026 09:36 AM (Oy/m2)

For those of you who have never been on a sailing vessel... a lot of time is spent "heading straight for the big rock" only to tack away at the last minute.

Since you can't go directly into the wind, you have to zig-zag or "tack" into the wind at an angle, which means that to get somewhere specific, you have to go in a different direction. Which usually means you're pointing the bow towards something that you'd rather not hit.

If you get as close as physically possible before tacking its called "banging the corner". Racers have a saying that banging the corner is like doing your cousin - no matter how good it looks, its still just wrong.

The great mystery of 'Limith Rock was how it had "1620" carved on it already when the Pilgrims landed.

Were there a series of rocks there, each one carved with a date from the series "1600" to "1639" and the tricksy Pilgrims broke up the other thirty-nine when Squanto taught them to plant corn by placing a small dead fish and a fragment of rock with each seed?

129 Wall Street Flees Socialist Tax Trap: Apollo Ditches NYC for No-Tax Sunbelt

Apollo Global Management, the $900 billion asset manager, is done playing games with New York City's radical leadership. The firm is planning a second U.S. headquarters in either Texas or Florida — both with zero state income tax — and shifting most future hiring there instead of Manhattan.

This move comes as democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani ramps up his war on business to close a $5.4 billion budget hole. He's demanding a 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million and higher corporate taxes, while threatening a 9.5% property tax hike if Albany doesn't deliver. When that failed, he floated raiding reserves and vague "savings" with no real plan in sight.

Partnership for New York City CEO Steve Fulop nailed it: you can't keep vilifying employees and businesses then act shocked when they pack up and leave. "Treat this as a flashing warning sign," he warned. "When jobs go, revenue goes — and the affordability crisis gets worse."
(Cont.)

Posted by: rickb223 at March 31, 2026 10:14 AM (9E5Ho)

130 Apollo isn't alone. Citadel and Elliott Management already bolted for Florida. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are expanding big in Texas. The pattern is clear: high taxes, hostile rhetoric, and endless spending sprees drive talent and capital out of blue strongholds and into red states that reward success instead of punishing it.

New Yorkers voted for this. Now they're watching the tax base evaporate while the same failed policies — soak the rich, grow government — accelerate the decline. You can't tax what already left. Florida and Texas are laughing all the way to the bank.

137 Jimmy Atkins’ business back in Ohio was running trade schools. But on Hilton Head, he took over a small company that specialized in long-term rentals. Property in the island’s gated subdivisions, called plantations in reference to the local antebellum history, attracted vacationing families and wealthy retirees. Corporate executives and global financiers descended by private plane to survey the frenzy some two decades into the island’s transformation.

At Harbour Realty and Rentals, with an office near Coligny Beach, Atkins came into contact with a teenage girl who would later claim to the FBI that she was sexually assaulted by him and a young Jeffery Epstein, the infamous and now deceased sexual predator. She alleged to agents that the two men also conspired to extort her mother to embezzle money. The mother eventually ended up in prison.

153 The woman also alleged abuse by a man named “Jim Atkins” during the same time period. Leonard identified “Jim Atkins” as Jimmy L. Atkins of Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, earlier this month. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 69.

On Sunday, The Post and Courier uncovered records that confirmed details of the woman’s testimony on Atkins. This included Atkins’s relationship with an Ohio college, his age, his hair color, his general appearance, and details about his employment in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

May I point out that on the 1 million or so records about Epstein there are ZERO.ZERO mentions of Carolina.

That's supposedly one way. (The legal way)

Alberta could always declare, if the vote goes their way, that they are independent and try to get other countries to acknowledge that.

201 This move comes as democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani ramps up his war on business to close a $5.4 billion budget hole. He's demanding a 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million and higher corporate taxes, while threatening a 9.5% property tax hike if Albany doesn't deliver. When that failed, he floated raiding reserves and vague "savings" with no real plan in sight.

A “democratic socialist” is one who, at the request of 50.0000000000000001%of voters, POLITELY steals the fruits of others’ labors and gives it to others. If they fail to comply, the police arrest them.

203 Supreme Court Rules Against Law Banning Conversion Therapy For Minors. The justices ruled 8-1, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as the lone dissenter.

So they're approving the torture of children. Fucking disgusting. I really hate when the judicial system gets in the way of medical services. Laws that prohibit doctors from discussing abortion should also be illegal.

The main driver for this is the money some folks will make from confused parents for ruining their kids lives and driving many of them to suicide.

Silly rabbit...states' rights are for red states who want to marginalize LGBT people, not blue states that want to protect them. Being able to engage in psycho-sexual abuse of children seems to be a common thread in conservatism.

These free speech absolutist are going to get people killed. Looks like you can yell fire in a crowded room under this Supreme Court.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. “The Constitution does not pose a barrier to reasonable regulation of harmful medical treatments just because substandard care comes via speech instead of scalpel,” she wrote.

Well said!

205 Joseph Mallord William Turner; Born April 23, 1775, London, UK & Died December 19, 1851, London.

Known in his time as 'William Turner,' was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist. He is known for his expressive colouring, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings.

His artistic style developed over his lifetime, moving away from Romanticism—bypassing the following rising style of Realism—and, instead, with his later works being a significant precursor of and presaging the later Impressionist and Abstract Art movements that arose in the decades after his death.[1] He left behind more than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours, and 30,000 works on paper.[2] He was championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting.[3] In 1969 art historian Kenneth Clark wrote of Turner: "He was a genius of the first order—far the greatest painter that England has ever produced..."[4] Wikipedia

So definitely not Will Turner, a pirate by blood, who had several adventures with Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Yes, would hang today's selection.

206 Apollo isn't alone. Citadel and Elliott Management already bolted for Florida. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are expanding big in Texas. The pattern is clear: high taxes, hostile rhetoric, and endless spending sprees drive talent and capital out of blue strongholds and into red states that reward success instead of punishing it.

New Yorkers voted for this. Now they're watching the tax base evaporate while the same failed policies — soak the rich, grow government — accelerate the decline. You can't tax what already left. Florida and Texas are laughing all the way to the bank.

212 from SCOTUS majority opinion:

Consider, too, where the State and dissent’s logic leads.
Not long ago, many medical experts and organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, considered homosexuality a mental disorder... On the view Colorado and the dissent advance, a law adopted during that era prohibiting counselors from engaging in the “substandard care” of affirming their clients’ homosexuality would have been subject to only rational-basis or intermediate-scrutiny review—and likely upheld. Today, tomorrow, and forever, too, any professional speech that deviates from “current beliefs about the safety and efficacy of various medical treatments” could be silenced with relative ease. Post, at 24 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). It is a consequence Colorado freely acknowledges. And one the dissent embraces. Post, at 23–26, and n. 9 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). So what if that kind of reflexive deference to currently prevailing professional views may not always end well?

Always remember that the internet, by definition of it's anonymity and the chase for approval, encourages extremism- at least of expression. Someone says something extreme- Trump tortures puppies! Then someone else goes 'Oh, I bet he does!' Then multiple people are sitting at their screens or phones and thinking 'I should have said that.' So they try to come up with something even more extreme to type.

Because what you say on the internet is who you are on the internet. And the passion you manage to convey in words is a measure of your worth. (Note: this is for these people- a lot of people have actual lives.)

And that is another thing that bothers me: a lot of this internet rhetorical brinksmanship is engaged in by people who DO have lives. They have kids and a family, but they find their self worth in what the average retard thinks of them online.
