I mean why do I want him to be nice to fascists, though? The way I see it the problem with Democratic presidents is in failing to hold their war criminal Republican predecessors accountable. If they smooth the path for fascism, then how does "playing well with others" help us?

On the other hand, if Biden wasn't a disaster, why couldn't do the one job he had and keep Trump out of office

Jutting in from our right, and Memorial Hall's left, that is.

Uncle Gabbadook @unclegabbadoo.bsky.social · 3d

It's Memorial Hall, 1878's high Victorian gothic outburst on Harvard University's campus, here in some 9 am sunshine last month, uneasily regarded by the facade of 1972's Gund Hall, jutting in from the left.

A black and white photo of the eastern end of Memorial Hall, an imposing cathedral-looking building on Harvard campus. Tourists often ask what "that Harry Potter looking building" is. It houses three parts: Sanders Theater in the section nearest us, Annenberg Hall, a dining hall in the opposite side, and Memorial Transept joining them, including the 195 foot tall tower.

Pelosi blocked all impeachments and even investigations. No impeachment inquiry was permitted.

She tossed the Mueller Report in the trash.

Twice they forced her hand, but even then she sabotaged the process, minimizing the chances of getting a conviction.

Here's an in-depth account:

The Legacy Nancy Pelosi Never Wanted

The groundbreaking speaker’s aversion to impeachment led her to short-circuit the oversight process. The price was two acquittals for Trump and a weakened Congress.

These are very satisfying, particularly the stacked, interlocking ones.

one of the things about “being an artist” is cultivating a mentality beyond the limits the contemporary era places upon the society you are in, the important part of cultivating that mentality is strongly grounding yourself to a provable reality that allows you a large degree of movement beyond it

Not that I know very well what I'm doing as a newbie photographer, but I really do like the mood in these, grain and all.
