    I'm red/green color deficient, and even I can see it as orange. That's some intense saturation.

    Here is an excellent book on the topic if you're interested.

  • This will get people killed, just like the reactionary psychos want.

    I fuckin' hate our State government.

  • I have always failed to see why people view Donald Trump as anything other than a con man.

    They're either rubes who are indoctrinated into the reactionary cinematic universe or grifters who pretend he's authentic to exploit the gullible.

  • How do adults find happiness in life?
  • That's depressingly common in modern times.

    It's easier if you live near a city with lots of people, but going to meetup.com or similar will show you lots of communities that are eager to get more people involved.

    It is always easier to stay home so sometimes I need to make myself go out and be social, but consistency is key. Showing up every week to a meetup will root you in a community more that once every couple months.

  • How do adults find happiness in life?
  • Find an IRL community that means something to you. You have to feel like you belong somewhere, and people need a support group to help when they're down. You can't feel happy if you're lonely.

  • Yeah, conservatives don't have principles to abandon.

  • Lawyers are allowed into Giuliani's NYC apartment after he misses a deadline for turning over assets
  • I'm imagining a seedy nest of lechery; empty whisky bottles strewn haphazardly on every surface imaginable. Opening kitchen doors is a gamble, and snake eyes means you've put your hand in some unidentifiably pungent, sticky, or greasy substance.

    A glassy-eyed Giuliani sits on the battered leather couch that's stained with a decade of fluids and spirits— he has become a part of it, sinking into the foam and springs. The lawyers kick his dangling foot, and life flutters back into his limbs; he shakes off the headache that has followed him like a bloodhound throughout his adulthood, letting it settle to a throbbing pulse in the back of his head. Black bile seeps out of this psychic wound as he cries out to an indifferent universe, but only a feeble croak escapes his lips.

    Why won't they release the pics?!

  • Republicans ask Pennsylvania court to put on hold decision on mail ballot envelope rules

  • What is your favorite Halloween older game?
  • The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.

    I imagine you've played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.

  • Pope Paul III and His Grandsons- Tiziano Vecellio, oil on canvas (1545-46)

    > Pope Paul III and His Grandsons is an oil on canvas painting by Titian, housed in the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples. It was commissioned by the Farnese family and painted during Titian's visit to Rome between autumn 1545 and June 1546. It depicts the scabrous relationship between Pope Paul III and his grandsons, Ottavio and Alessandro Farnese. Ottavio is shown in the act of kneeling, to his left; Alessandro, wearing a cardinal's dress, stands behind him to his right. The painting explores the effects of ageing and the manoeuvring behind succession; Paul was at the time in his late seventies and ruling in an uncertain political climate as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor came into ascendancy. > > Paul III was the last of the popes appointed by the ruling Medici family of Florence. He was socially ambitious, a careerist and not particularly pious. He kept a concubine, fathered four children out of wedlock and viewed the throne as an opportunity to fill his coffers while he placed his relatives in high positions. A talented and cunning political operator, Paul was precisely the sort of man the Florentines needed to assist them in their defence against French and Spanish threats.

    Sackbut

    !

    > A sackbut is an early form of the trombone used during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. A sackbut has the characteristic telescopic slide of a trombone, used to vary the length of the tube to change pitch, but is distinct from later trombones by its smaller, more cylindrically-proportioned bore, and its less-flared bell. Unlike the earlier slide trumpet from which it evolved, the sackbut possesses a U-shaped slide with two parallel sliding tubes, rather than just one.

    The Beaneater- Annibale Carracci, oil on canvas (1580-1590)

    > Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome. Along with his brother and cousin, Annibale was one of the progenitors, if not founders of a leading strand of the Baroque style, borrowing from styles from both north and south of their native city, and aspiring for a return to classical monumentality, but adding a more vital dynamism. Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.

    15th Court of Appeals dismisses Texas AG’s appeal in Project Connect lawsuit

    > Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an interlocutory appeal June 17, on the same day a trial centered around the validity of Project Connect’s funding structure was set to begin. The attorney general’s initial claim argued the Austin Transit Partnership — the organization tasked with designing and constructing the Project Connect light rail system — didn’t have the jurisdiction to bring forth a bond validation lawsuit, filed in February.

    ...

    > The 15th Court of Appeals dismissed Paxton’s appeal, citing “lack of jurisdiction.” The case was originally punted from the trial court to the Third Court of Appeals before landing in the 15th Court of Appeals, which began operating Sept. 1.

    What is your favorite thing to pickle?

    I put some asparagus in vinegar with garlic, red pepper flakes, and pickling spice a couple weeks ago. I just cracked it open, and they're fantastic!

    I also started a batch of sauerkraut today with garlic and caraway seeds in a brine. Gonna keep an eye on it and hope it comes out alright. I like that it's a live fermentation, and will hopefully be full of good probiotics.

    What's your favorite thing to pickle, and in what?
