69 Two Women in a Landscape is rendered with de Kooning’s signature bold brushstrokes where ribbons of sensuously applied paint in fleshy, honied tones of pale blush and orange give rise to the two human figures. They appear to be in a lush landscape, defined through de Kooning’s mastery of greens and yellows that create a distinct fore-ground

Basquiat had some talent. He was way over-promoted by slimy filthy art dealers and remora homosexuals desperate for the next big thing. But he had talent. He unfortunately did the same art over and over again. He was also a degenerate junkie who died very young.

Animated series ViQueens. Apparently not alphabet.
Just girllllll power.

EXCLUSIVE: Dutch-Norwegian director Zwart Arbeid gave a sneak peek of his upcoming animated feature ViQueens in a masterclass at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Thursday, and Deadline can share the teaser exclusively too.

Co-starring Ella Purnell and Rita Ora in the voice cast, with a special appearance by global soccer superstar Erling Haaland, the adventure-comedy follows fearless Viking girls Ingrid and Hedvig as they defy tradition to return a stowaway boy to China.

Their journey spans icy fjords, Byzantine intrigue, and the fabled Silk Road, blending Viking grit with ancient Chinese wisdom, unexpected alliances, and a touch of magic.

162 SCOTUS ruling:

Next up is Mullin v. Al Otro Lado.

The vote is 6-3.

This case challenges the federal government’s policy of systematically turning back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.

The court reverses the Ninth Circuit.

189 I have a bit of an issue with the term "closing" the Hormuz. It's never "closed." It IS, sometimes, risky to traverse. I've always contended that the commercial shipping industry's aversion for risk is what we're really discussing.

A couple of Florida rednecks hell bent on motoring through in a fast boat wouldn't think twice about running Iran's silly blockade. But a multi-billion dollar VLCC without insurance and a skittish crew isn't going to even think about it.

Every time someone in Iran runs their mouth about the Hormuz being "closed" we oughta' drop 20 2000lb bombs on 20 of their mosques. And then tell them to shut the fuck up.

214 We have the final decision, in Mullin v. Doe

It is 6-3.

Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson.

This case is a challenge to the decision by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status (a program that allows recipients to remain in the US and work if they cannot return safely to their own countries) for Syrian and Haitian nationals.

The court holds that the Syrian and Haitian nationals are not "entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation."

The Supreme Court first holds that courts cannot review the Haitian and Syrian nationals' non-constitutional claims, because the TPS statute bars judicial review.

Pretty god description of how it played out, in the end.
But don’t fret, Erdogan is our new best friend in the region. Trump is heading to Ankara in a week or two, and a headline in a Turkish outlet says that Trump told Erdogan he is attending Nato's Ankara summit 'just for him'. US sources say he’s bringing a deal to sell Erdogan all the advanced aircraft engines and F-35’s he is asking for. Israel is unhappy, but who cares.

217 The court next holds that the Haitian nationals' constitutional claim, that the decision to terminate TPS status for Haiti was based on racial discrimination, "will likely fail."

Saw a couple videos the other day of people making traps out of a 5 gal bucket, some water and yard clippings with "mosquito bits" to kill off the larva... thus, over time, reducing the number of the bugs.

230 That's two decisions from SCOTUS today that are "the law means what it says."

1st, "arrives in" means actually "in" the United States, not at or near the border or a port of entry. Meaning asylum seekers can be turned back, we are not required to grant them entry and process--or even consider--their asylum claim.

2nd, TPS, when the law says no judicial review, it means no judicial review.

"The Haitian nationals' argument on the constitutional claim, Alito writes, is undermined by another one of its arguments -- "that the current administration, which has terminated every TPS designation that has come up for renewal, simply opposes the TPS program, at least as it has been implemented in the past.""

Lot Essay
Signed ‘de Kooning’ (lower right); signed again and dedicated 'to ELANA with love Bill de Kooning' (on the backing board)
oil and charcoal on paper mounted on canvas
30 1/8 x 35 in. (76.5 x 88.9 cm.)
Painted circa 1976.

In part, "Willem de Kooning’s depictions of women are among the most significant works of the Post-War period. De Kooning worked in the space between abstraction and figuration, allowing the two to flow into one another. His nonobjective works reference the human body in their arcs and rhythms, and his figural works slip into abstract lines and forms. The present work, Two Women in a Landscape, is a prime example of the artist’s masterful depiction of classical subject matter – both the female nude and landscapes – entwined with characteristic vibrancy and innovation."

AI Overview: The Environment: Reflects de Kooning's fascination with Long Island's East End, capturing an atmospheric blend of divine femininity and "mother earth" metaphors. (wut?)

De Kooning returned to the motif of women in outdoor settings throughout his career. See Willem de Kooning’s 1950s "Woman" series. 🧻

Not that I care about the WNBA, but I don't like that kind of brutal bullying in the game.

Incidental contact, sure it happens.

That crap, no.

The WNBA should establish a new rule for fouls like that that takes the player who fouls out of the game with no replacement for...oh, say, 5 minutes.

With a "no payment" ban on playing at all in the next 5 games for a second offense during the same game.

That would put an immediate end that nonsense.

Imagine this: let Caitlin continue to play as usual, but hire on a group of Polish Euro-league players to be her teammates. Tell each of them they have to put a blonde wig on and call themselves "Mary", that'll please the trans crowd. Her job will be just to shoot; their job will be to punch anyone on the other team who tries to bother her in the mouth. Expect 2 - 3 bench clearing brawls each game, so make sure and have a whole line of 6'6" Polish goons on the bench ready and waiting for it. They can call their team the "White Demons".

If you want to blame anyone for how Jordan "got away with things," blame the officials and the league. THEY'RE the ones that stopped calling things. Jordan just got away with what they let him.

The league was created to demonstrate the futility of individual effort. And the league must do its work. The Energy Corporation has done all it can, and if a champion defeats the meaning for which the league was designed, then she must lose. I hope you agree with my reasoning.

289 Sophie Cunningham is smoking hot physically and mentally. I'm waiting for her to disappoint me on the mental side.

290 Is this one of those paintings where an elephant holds the paintbrush with its trunk, and proceeds to swab the canvas with random splotches of color?

291 If I see scissoring does that reveal my inner space a little too much?

293 It's my understanding the MJ was called for dribbling a few times.

I recall a playoff game where m j reached out that big left hand, swept the defender aside, and then made the game winning basket. No call

295 With Clark and Cunningham on the same team should they call them the Indiana Heterosexuals?

298 Cunningham says she wants a guy taller then her. As she's 6'1 I suspect unless she nets a b-ball player she is going to be single for some time.

Against the Cavs.

Again, not Michael's fault the officials on the floor didn't call anything.

300 Hey Muldoon, you said the other day that your heart just isn't into the limericks right now.
Guessing you are mourning your mother in law, and adjusting to life without the loving care-giving you offered her.

Life is always changing and many of those changes include some degree of loss.

301 Sure it is Willem. Give me back my money.

302 Jordan could have played in any league any time and revolutionized the game. Whatever rules they did or didn't enforce he would have taken advantage. It's who he was. He made taking over a game and dominating into an art form.
