I like them both! Of course love that Gentileschi is a woman telling this story.
Also love her Jael and Sisera, another general-slaying (this time by driving a tent peg through the temple).

We saw you already, Ross Douthat and NYT.
And the transcript remains the same. They mean "too many women = ruined workplaces" because they said it.

Where IS her respect for revealed preferences? More women are choosing to pursue career but that can’t possibly be a true preference. It is the fault of pornography for making work an easier choice than marriage and childbearing. Women have no real agency.

Shockingly unserious. These people started with a conclusion, and burn about 1,000 calories a minute in this little chat working their asses off to build a foundation under that conclusion.
That conclusion is: everything I don’t like is the fault of women. Again!

Thinking about shooting this out of a T-shirt cannon in the direction of everyone who gleefully shit on Latinos after the 2024 election bc they lumped them all together and blamed them for the outcome as a bloc. Spoiler alert: Latinos are like every other voter: diverse and mostly self-interested.

Trump 2024 closing "they/them" ad against Harris was widely credited on the left and right as a huge body blow to her campaign.
Here is Winsome Sears trying to replicate that effect. She spent $2m on such ads in Sept. alone.
Last night, she lost by almost 15 points.

not to be that Hamilton-quoting lady but
winning was easy, governing's harder. turns out when you're in charge of everything, voters know that.

Look at Holbein's poor wife, who basically raised these children on her own while he was off in Basel or whatever and probably having mistresses. I bet she was like memento mori, Hans, remember you'll die because I'm gonna kill you.

Lucky for you all, my current obsession with Hans Holbein the Younger's metal tendencies resulted in this little AI glow-up

Metal. AF.
This is called a memento mori. It's a message to the viewer: "remember that you will die."
Holbein painted it into The Ambassadors like an insert in photoshop that he stretched out to make you work to see it. Wild stuff.

I've been on a bender about Renaissance art and how Hans Holbein the Younger was kind of metal, if you want to know how I'm doing.
See this weird shape in his 1533 painting The Ambassadors? If you stand w/your head pressed to the wall next to the painting it snaps into focus (see next threaded post)
