Edward Hopper Nighthawks 1942
What a wonderful painting; captures everything; especially the mood…….
…as to the rest? Hell if I know… but I do think we’re in deep, deep shit…with no, as in zero, answers for/to anything…
It is time to terminate the Israel project. Ut is past time to exterminate zionism and zionists. YMMD
Hear, hear: time for the tail to be cut off to quit wagging the dog…
Vincent van Gogh Self-Portrait with Straw Hat 1887 : December 7 2023
I liked the December 7 much more than the “bloody” Dec. 8 van GoghThe art is great as usual;
But, I wonder if we have a clue about what’s comming, as we circle the drain…The 2 largest purveyors of violence on the planet are the U.S. and it’s lacky Israel; to hell with them both and as quickly as possible…
@ Dr. D
Homefield. Always works. Who won in Vietnam, V Arnold? “They’re still there, he’s all gone” — Bruce Springsteen.
Rhetorical question of course; certainly the Vietnamese did.
But I think more importantly, the U.S. lost humongously, and has yet to recover…if ever…How many Thai agricultural workers were killed by Israeli helicopters?
Thanks for the find, Zerosum.V.Arnold, can you get some Thai street buzz on this?
The numbers I’ve heard were 39 killed in the attack.
There are many (thousands+) of Thai workers in Israel; mostly agricultural workers AFAIK…That’s why they aim to corral people into an Orwellian system that monitors and controls every penny you earn, save, and spend.
Thus the importance of cash; and why cash is a target of the galoots…
Dump your debit/credit cards as well…Dr D Rich
The murder of Nawar al-Awlaki will always be A Holocaust.
The murder of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki will always be A Holocaust.Here, here!!!!!
Enough of the bullshit!!!!!!!!Telling people to stand up and “DO” something is disingenuous at best and hypocritical at least…
I seem to recall tens of millions of people across the world demonstrating against the U.S. invading Iraq in 2003.
Fat lot of good that did…the only thing it did do was to cement the fact that governments (western) will do as they damn well please and citizens be damned…8 weeks later I packed up and left…
What did I accomplish? Not much, except for my own sense self esteem and values…The more I learn the more I realize I know very little and most things that were taught were lies
Ahmen to that…
School taught me that real learning was gotten elsewhere; and self directed was best….Pablo Picasso Garcon à la Pipe 1905
A gorgeous painting, IMO…
On another note: From afar I watch the U.S. continue on its road to perdition…
I am pleased to not be in any way a contributer to that endevor…
The collapse of a once great civilisation brings no pleasure to this one; but a relief never the less…@ T-Bear
Not truth but what is true will historically emerge; the glory of the British Empire lays tarnished for the world to see now, their North American (the wasteland north of Mexico) inheritors are soon to follow, lead by immature, ignorant children playing at adulthood. What has been sown will reap a mighty whirlwind, pity the children who inherit.Excellent!
Your closing paragraph encapsulates perfectly the U.S. at present…
An infantalized populace cannot survive in these times…JMW Turner Vignette Study of a Ship in a Storm c.1830
Awesome painting…
A storm at sea makes one appreciate just how small us humans are…oxymoron
to Tucker. America is still the best country in the world FOR AMERICANS.Not all of us; I left in 2003 and couldn’t be more content since…
Snow leopard mom pretending to be scared when her cub sneaks up on her to encourage them to keep practicing their stalking skills..
Very much enjoyed watching that; something real for a change….

In short order thew public must be hearing from any sitting on a courtroom bench whether that judge supports the turkey sitting in judgment on the Trump case agrees with the propriety of what is occurring or finds a definite abuse of the legal process.
Terminate Zionist occupied Palestine, NOW!Damned straight!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the world we live in.
We’re unable/unwilling to change it…
Real change takes courage and action/violence (in a sense, most action is violence of one sort or another…)
Fear is a thief; don’t let it steal from you…What (((entity))) controls another nation and its military through time and space?
That’s a very good question: and the answer is??????
I second SeaBirds & Dr. John; excellent essay Ilargi and spot on…
Israel is presently a rogue state that needs to be put on a leash…Allegedly Israel has nukes; at what point will they use them?
The Yahoo is unhinged; and out of control…
Pray to whatever god you follow this gets resolved without war…The Israelis treat the Palestinians the way the Germans treated the Jews in WWII; they have become the enemy they were fighting……karma’s a bitch…
Pablo Picasso Self portrait with palette 1906
I often wonder just how much of our daily reality is actually considered?
Leonardo da Vinci A Copse of Trees 1508
Pretty amazing painting; all things considered or even nothing considered…
I like it a lot……Jan van Eyck Saint Barbara 1437
What a magnificient piece of work by van Eyck…astounding in it detail…
…and the young woman appears to have a very large writting quill in her hand…her left hand I might add…We are living in very sick times; most especially if one lives in the west (US, & EU ).
It is a very big world out there and there are places not yet infected…what are you waiting for?Rene Magritte Memory 1944
I love Magritte; a good friend gifted me a gorgeous coffee table book of Magritte’s work.
“Memory” seems a study in Red…with a really bad vibe for the right side eye of the woman…
