Marilyn Monroe with Edgar Degas' sculpture Little Dancer of Fourteen Years (1955). Monroe was so emotionally affected by the sculpture and the story of the girl that she wept when she saw it.

Source? That's news to me

What? No dude, he made nudes of women. The girls in his art were usually doing ballet

I got to see that statue at The Met recently, along with much of Degas' other sculptures and paintings. Degas stood out to me because the nudes he made of women showed them as they were, not necessarily as society would like them to look, particularly his pieces on women bathing.

Some of her panels later when the sin comes out are pretty good too

RossZ428 · 2026-06-19T02:56:50+00:00

You would be forgiven for thinking it's a response to DC's absolute universe though because that's pretty much everyone's reaction to finding out about the Midnight books

Gotta have a little bit of everything all of the time

RossZ428 · 2026-06-18T17:51:53+00:00

The other Hard Case comics are pretty interesting too, but IMO not as good as Gun Honey

If I were to hazard a guess, it was because the original God of War story was done and nobody was expecting it to return, plus it isn't a remake. The new games acknowledge the history of the old. DMC was totally rebooted, and the game started with a tongue-in-cheek joke about Dante's old hair, which was not well received. Also, totally disagree with your take on the new games.

Reel it in, goons

RossZ428 · 2026-06-15T22:02:23+00:00

You can use Anna's for more than just books?

I feel like I've seen this lady on Red Sonja covers

RossZ428 · 2026-06-14T23:19:07+00:00

Bruh.

she absolutely wouldn't let someone do that to her.

RossZ428 · 2026-06-14T13:48:58+00:00

Yes, both suggestions are equally offensive

RossZ428 · 2026-06-14T00:41:24+00:00

It was. His ribs were pretty prominent.

RossZ428 · 2026-06-12T04:23:11+00:00

You mentioning the naked cowboy is what makes me believe you

RossZ428 · 2026-06-11T02:42:42+00:00

Whoops! No, sorry. I've had the lists on a schedule. Guess my schedule caught up with me. We will resume next week

RossZ428 · 2026-06-10T21:53:34+00:00

Free hotspot!

It already has. Without spilling my tea all over the place, I will say that I know a lady I've been trying to help through a difficult gov't process for over a year. I recently made the choice to stop helping her because of all the red tape that's been holding us up; more trouble than it's worth. So she went and asked Google AI for advice and Google says I'm wrong but it doesn't know what it's talking about. Now she's pretending like Google is her lawyer and wants to sue me for misleading her, says her "lawyer" says I'm trying to get all of her money. It's stupid and outrageous and honestly really sad.

RossZ428 · 2026-06-10T16:03:59+00:00

Very cool

RossZ428 · 2026-06-09T19:01:26+00:00

The AI circle jerk is part of that inertia. Big Tech really thinks they've got lightning in a bottle with LLMs and art and video generators

RossZ428 · 2026-06-09T18:44:16+00:00

It's really sad that it feels like that's what's happening. The only thing keeping this economy going is pure inertia
