Time once again for our occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

And today we look at Germany. This may involve compound nouns... #WednesdayWisdom
Germany is of course the land of castles. But their are many other domiciles that Frauen mit tollen Haaren can escape from...
They can flee a handsome Georgian crescent...
They can flee a beach house...
They can flee the Egyptian room at Harrods...
They can flee a medieval banquet before the jesters appear and everyone grows sick of eating rotisserie chicken and beans...
They can flee the front quad of Queens' College Oxford and visit a kebab van...
They can flee the ghastly mock Tudor houses of Brighton and Hove...
Or they can flee Bungle from TV's Rainbow.
Germany is of course a land of rules, and no fleeing is allowed unless gowns are ankle length.
Many German towns are getting quite sick of women with great hair turning up un announced at local historic houses and demanding to flee them. These are now routinely locked after 5pm to stop such goings on.
Some Germans are experimenting with cross-genre fleeing; for example fleeing an Aztec castle in the manner of Lara Croft. I doubt it will catch on, but well done for trying!
German men are trying to get in on the gothic fleeing scene nowadays, but German women quite frankly aren't putting up with it.
And that's it for tonight's gothic fleeing action. Auf Wiedersehen...

Today in pulp I look back at one of the most influential and outrageous illustrators of the 1970s, whose work defined the Italian fumetti horror scene: Emanuele Taglietti!
Emanuele Taglietti was born in Ferrara in 1943. His father worked as a set designer for director Michaelangelo Antonioni, often taking Emanuele with him on set.
In the 1960s Taglietti moved to Rome, where he studied stage design. He began a successful career as an assistant art director, working for Federico Fellini and Marco Ferreri.

Cambodia has a rich modern history of pulp art, #comics and graphic novels. Today in pulp I look at the Cambodian scene and at some of the artists who made - and continue to make - it happen! #SaturdayMotivation
Cambodian pulp art was initially influenced by the French comic strip style, and later by Indian movie posters and hindi comics. But it also maintains a strong folk-art tradition, melded with contemporary themes.
In the 1960s Cambodian artists were able to make a reasonable living illustrating both comics and book covers for the domestic market. Flower Of Love, Flame Of Suffering by Hak Chay Hok (Khmer Books) is a good example of the genre. The cover is by Hul Sophon.

@ricardorossello Systemic corruption unearthed in Puerto Rico politics! Who would’ve guessed?! Remember the aftermath of Hurricane Maria? “The U.S. government hurricane response was widely criticized as inadequate.”WednesdayWisdom
Puerto Rico got mad when Trump didn’t “immediately waive the Jones Act, which prevented the commonwealth from receiving any aid and supplies from non-U.S.-flagged vessels from U.S. ports.”
The Jones Act restricts shipments between U.S. ports to American-run vessels & strengthens the economy. It’s also a matter of national security that keeps shipping, and shipbuilding safely in US control withint our national borders. Guess who wanted abolish the Jones Act?

A lot of perspective from the front page of WaPo today thanks to Phil Rucker. Long read, but worth it. #WednesdayWisdom

Some people look at Brett Kavanaugh and see an ivy league nerd with a wife and two kids and a solid, respectable life.

But this is precisely why millions of women don't find it difficult to believe Dr. Blasey Ford & Debbie Ramirez.

WE SEE YOU BRETT.

(2) I see Brett because when my Mom looks at my stepfather, she sees the man she's loved and been married to for decades. A good partner and father.

But I see the man who abused and assaulted me throughout my teenage years. And the woman who didn't believe me.
(3) I see Brett because when they look at my high school yearbook, my classmates see broad shoulders and a perfect jawline. They see the class president & prom king.

I see the guy who sexually assaulted me. the one I hid in a bathroom to escape while he banged down the door.

Interesting POV. What happened in Ohio 12 last night, even w/o the W, was critically important for us. Now, we evaluate it. #WednesdayWisdom

2/"A number of analyses of the Ohio special election results — including the one offered by your humble blogger earlier today — focused on the outsize energy in the suburbs of Columbus, where Democrat Danny O’Connor ran up large vote totals, something that bodes well for
