My thanks to Deborah Lough Costumes for information on the lobster-red uniform that my ancestor Billy Swift wore at the Battle of Trafalgar: rose madder dyed cloth for privates, scarlet for officers.

Or perhaps @stephenking.bsky.social himself could enlighten me as to the meaning of the title #RoseMadder
This image shows two paintings side by side that reflect distinct artistic styles and periods. On the left is The Disrobing of Christ by El Greco, a dramatic and emotionally charged scene where Christ, clad in a vibrant red robe, stands surrounded by a chaotic crowd of soldiers and onlookers, rendered in elongated, expressive forms and intense colors typical of Mannerism. On the right, a serene domestic scene by Vermeer—featuring three elegantly dressed figures in a quiet interior bathed in natural light. A woman in a red gown is being offered a drink by a man. Another figure sits in the background behind a table appears withdrawn and contemplative.
El Greco, The Disrobing of Christ (1577–79) + Vermeer, The Girl with the Wine Glass (c.1659)
Both paintings feature rose madder, a luminous red derived from the root of the plant Rubia tinctotum

The Monkey looks like it might be good. But, how is it that we're getting this @stephenking.bsky.social adaptation and a remake of The Running Man, but we are still no closer to an adaptation of Rose Madder??? I loved that book!

Stephen King conseguiu criar o pior vilão de todos os tempos e adivinha? Ele é humano (será?). Pior que Pennywise, pior que Randal Flagg, pior que o Rei Vermelho, pior que Barlow, e pior que Tak.
Norman Daniel's eu te ODEIO!
