Did you know that Roman emperors would use the Colosseum for lavish spectacles, including fights between shirtless gladiators, as a massive distraction from political corruption, economic hardship, and social decay. Roman poet Juvenal wrote about it in "Bread and Circuses" (panem et circenses).

Anyway, apropos of nothing, the UFC stadium at the White House seems to be really taking shape.

The Yellow Milkmaid Syndrome.

"The Milkmaid’, one of Johannes Vermeer's most famous pieces, depicts a scene of a woman quietly pouring milk into a bowl. During a survey the Rijksmuseum discovered that there were over 10,000 copies of the image on the internet—mostly poor, yellowish reproductions. As a result of all of these low-quality copies on the web, according to the Rijksmuseum, “people simply
didn’t believe the postcards in our museum shop were showing the original painting. This was the trigger for us to put high-resolution images of the original work with open metadata on the web ourselves. Opening up our data is our best defence against the ‘yellow Milkmaid’."

1/2 Vaikea se on ymmärtää sitäkin, että tälläkin hetkellä 16 % korkeakoulutetuista, äänestävistä naisista kannattaa kokoomusta, mutta että vain alle kaksi vuotta sitten, elokuussa '24 heitä on ollut 31,4 %:a.

Puolittuminen selittynee sillä, että viimein ja vihdoin sarisairaanhoitajat ja outiopettajat alkavat lähteä. Kai nämä jäljellä roikkuvat ovat sitten juristeja ja ekonomisteja. Jatk.
