I think there's some confusion because of the number of Marshall houses built in Berkeley. Several are landmarked by the city and it doesn't look like some of the history are very discerning between them. oaklandunderfoot.com/2021/01/02/j...

The key to Trump's election fuckery is you absolutely take it seriously, & you take it seriously by knowing you've got the numbers behind you to follow through on your principles. This is the United States & the way we rule ourselves is not subject to the whims of an old orange shitsack.

Probably a bit more comfortable than a freighter but I've thought something like this could be fun. Probably more comfortable than my friends who've sailed to Australia.
Though founded in, of course, the Netherlands, Holland America Line is the rare cruise company based in Seattle. With dozens of departures out of local ports all season long, there can be a number of empty rooms on departing ships-and those of us lucky enough to live close can benefit. The company's Standby Program allows spontaneous types to book a room for $99-129 per day in return for being willing to depart with only two to seven days' notice. Holland America is even good for a late-October sailing from Seattle to Sydney, which takes 34 days.

"Over the past two years, Republika Srpska has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Maga-aligned lobbyists, seeking to lift sanctions on Bosnian Serb political figures and to promote a re-examination of the Dayton peace accords, which ended the war in Bosnia in 1995."

More importantly this reminded me there's a screening of A serbian film nearby this month. I remember returning from a run and walking into the house after two roommates watched it 'because it can't be that bad' I can't imagine wanting to be in a room with a bunch of people who just watched it.

Art vs artist is like most of my boycotts, a personal thing I don't need to go into beyond a quick 'fuck that guy.' There are artists I don't like but who's art I still enjoy. And plenty I cannot support. Being into metal I learned to check before going to a show with too many Nazi tattoos again.

Taney remained Chief Justice until 1864, when he died. During the Civil War, he watched impotently as the Lincoln Administration brushed off rulings on habeas corpus, Black citizenship, and, of course, slavery. "There was no sadder fig ure to be seen in Washington," the journalist E. V. Smalley wrote. "He had outlived his epoch, and was shunned and hated by the men of the new time."
