Hete Tenen

Hete Tenen, olieverf op linnen, 120 x 100 cm Robert Pennekamp, 2013. Hete Tenen is een schilderij dat geheel anders qua stijl is dan de reeks schilderijen hiervoor, wit heeft de hoofdtoon, het geel en het roze maakt het schilderij zachter en rustiger. Vooral, en dat zie je eigenlijk op de foto niet zo goed, is de onderliggende structuur van het schilderij van bepalend karakter. Schilderij, Hete…

By any fair measure, Justice Clarence Thomas was already one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s most controversial members, even before this year got underway. But in recent months, the far-right jurist has faced a series of ethics questions that he and his allies have struggled to answer.

Over the last three months, ProPublica has taken the lead on exposing Thomas’ unusual and previously undisclosed ties to a Republican megadonor. Over the weekend, The New York Times took the story considerably further.

At the heart of the story is an organization with a name that’s probably unfamiliar to most Americans, but which counts among its members an exclusive group of powerful and wealthy elites:

“On Oct. 15, 1991, Clarence Thomas secured his seat on the Supreme Court, a narrow victory after a bruising confirmation fight that left him isolated and disillusioned. Within months, the new Justice enjoyed a far-warmer acceptance to a second exclusive club: the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, named for the Gilded Age author whose rags-to-riches novels represented an aspirational version of Justice Thomas’s own bootstraps origin story.”

According to the Times’ account, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, it was quite a pairing, as the Supreme Court Justice found a home alongside “a cluster of extraordinarily wealthy, largely conservative members who lionized him.”

The non-profit organization, which awards scholarships and promotes members’ “economic opportunity” ideals, has benefited from the association with Thomas. From the article:

“While he has never held an official leadership position, in some ways he has become the association’s leading light. He has granted it unusual access to the Supreme Court, where every year he presides over the group’s signature event: a ceremony in the courtroom at which he places Horatio Alger medals around the necks of new lifetime members. One entrepreneur called it “the closest thing to being knighted in the United States.””

Just so we’re clear, when the Times mentioned “the courtroom,” it was referring specifically to the Supreme Court’s interior chamber where Justices sit and hear oral arguments.

“The association has used access to the court ceremony and related events in the annual gathering to raise money for scholarships and other programming, according to fund-raising records reviewed by The Times,” the report added.

As for Thomas, he’s received benefits of his own, beyond simply enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded allies who were eager to celebrate him. The Times’ account highlighted the degree to which the Justices’ associations with the association’s members “brought him proximity to a lifestyle of unimaginable material privilege.”

The result was relationships in which Thomas’ Horatio Alger friends “have welcomed him at their vacation retreats, arranged V.I.P. access to sporting events and invited him to their lavish parties.”

Remember, over the last few months, the Supreme Court Justices’ principal problem was his relationship with Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, and the generosity the GOP megadonor has shown Thomas. But what the Times appears to have uncovered is a similar problem multiplied several times: Thomas “has received benefits — many of them previously unreported — from a broader cohort of wealthy and powerful friends,” thanks to his connections established through the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans.

Among the benefits: In 2016, an HBO film brought Anita Hill’s allegations against Thomas back to the fore. Soon after, a documentary titled “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” designed to defend the Justice, was released.

It was financed in part by Thomas’ Horatio Alger pals.

The Justice has not yet responded to the allegations raised by the Times.

Benen’s wildly different dynamic with their partners is so funny to me. With Gale they’re trying to flirt but because they’re an Autistic Wizard Of All Time and so is he this amounts to talking about magic with him a lot and and being slightly competitive about it and expecting this to register as flirting (it does not), and then when this doesn’t work they just. Telepathically beam him an image of them kissing him. And look, he’s into this, but there is a reason he is convinced that this came out of godsdamned nowhere.

Meanwhile, they keep saying the most flirtatious things possible to Astarion and they are still entirely in denial that they have intentions other than academic interest. Their dynamic started as “local necromancer attempts to plot how to improve vampire spawn’s unlife as the first proper test of their capabilities since they graduated,” and as far as Benen’s concerned, that’s still exactly what this is. Nevermind that every time he goes on his amazing villainous-dork rambles it’s absolutely awakening something in them. Nevermind that he broke his mirror and they responded by staring wordlessly at him until he said something, volunteering to be his mirror, and then immediately complimenting him on something not-conventionally-attractive.

It’s 100% “me and the bad bitches I pulled by being autistic” except for Astarion who’s just so weird and traumatized that he somehow started throwing off whatever metaphysical pheromones attract interpersonally inept wizards. Not one of these people knows how to have a normal social interaction. Somehow out of all three of them, Benen is the one with the highest charisma.

#the charisma difference is that astarion is charming but could not solve an interpersonal problem if his life depended on it #and gale is charming in an entirely different way but deeply deeply awkward #and benen is very strange but also has the entire party convinced that they're the most normal #everyone looks at them and goes 'yeah that's the adult in the room' because they project this aura of maturity and competence #while doing the most bizarre things known to man #they take the entire party with them everywhere and have run into zero (0) problems with approval #io's rambling #baldur's gate #oc: benen

“ i think someone is hitting on Peter. ” / Clint

KEEPING UP THE ENTERPRISE / Someone is trying to invoke a jealous Clint, start things, incite violence. // mentioned @crisispider

He was not above any gossip of any kind, what so ever, and okay, he had to admit he participated. ACTUALLY, there's quite a rumor mill that comes up about Clint Barton given his reputation that preceded him. Chaos on the ship and it's not outer interference ⸺ Clint came up.

PETER COMING UP? ⸺ AT ALL? ⸻ All his overprotective tendencies kicked into high gear and than SOMEONE IS HITTING ON PETER ⸻ Jealousy and insecurity boil up too.

❝ Pete and I are solid, got through two whole years of me being an short term mission on another ship and him finishing out his Academy years ⸻ To now. He wouldn't. . . . ❞ But than. . . . again. . . .

Peter's not the best with recognizing advances or saying no, and remember that thing about Clint being insecure and easily made jealous? ⸻ And there had been one blue shirt from another deck that always happened to conveniently end up in engineering.

TALK IN STUPID CIRCLES ⸻ Superiority complex, and sat down with Peter and a few others yesterdays. Turned their stupid nose up at Clint and rolled their eyes when he signed a joke to Peter (he just liked making him smile and laugh; even if it's a little distracting and interrupting).

Okay, so he was jealous and the insecurity came from a lost list of personal cons. Just because things were going so well, years into their relationship, doesn't mean it couldn't all fall apart. He's generally a mess, space is not his favorite to be, a sober alcoholic whose urge to drink never really went away, and he's got a bad habit of insubordination. That's not normally anyone's green flags.

❝ It's the dickwad, isn't it, with the cleft chin and buzz cut that looks awful, right? No concept of personal space either. Studies rocks 'cause they're dumb as rock. ❞

Maybe he's just needs to go remind everyone he makes Peter and he is his, and to remember to respect that Clint's the guy. Peter's guy and he'd liked to keep it that way.

As the current Congress got underway, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy assured his members that he’d honor something called the “72-hour rule” — an informal commitment that assured Representatives that they’d have a few days to read legislation before it reached the floor for a vote.

With a dangerous debt ceiling deadline looming, and time running out, there was some speculation that House Republican leaders would simply waive the rule and advance the bipartisan “Fiscal Responsibility Act” faster. McCarthy, for good or ill, stuck to the policy.

Apparently, for some, that’s not quite good enough. For example, Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, a House Freedom Caucus member, told reporters yesterday that he considers it an “insult” to only have a few days to read the bill.

The South Carolina Republican — perhaps best known for misspelling “marital law” while pushing the Trump White House to deploy the military to nullify the 2020 election — took the same message to Fox News, arguing, “It’s like the Pelosi days. You gotta pass it before you read it.” Norman added, “[W]e ought to have a lot more time” than 72 hours.

First, the fact that Republicans continue to screw up an innocuous 2010 quote from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains disappointing.

Second, let’s not forget that the Fiscal Responsibility Act is only 99 pages. “War and Peace” it is not. What’s more, we’re talking about double-spaced pages, with a large font, generous margins, and a modest number of words per page.

Even a slow reader could get through this bill pretty easily in an afternoon.

Rep. Ted Lieu had a little fun at his far-right colleague’s expense. “Let’s do some math,” the California Democrat wrote on Twitter. “If GOP Rep Ralph Norman works 8 hours a day, that’s 24 hours over 3 days to read 99 pages. That comes out to reading a little over 4 pages every hour. And these are double spaced text pages. Alternatively, he can have AI summarize the bill for him in 1 [minute].”

Evidently, despite his complaints, the South Carolinian has apparently read enough of the bipartisan deal to know he doesn’t like it: Norman condemned the agreement as “insanity” a few hours after it was announced.
