Opinion: If Republicans cannibalize Buck, they may lose his seat to Democrats

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:10:39 GMT

In the wake of the Biden impeachment inquiry, Congressional House Republican crazies have outspokenly questioned Congressman Ken Buck’s allegiance and are searching for a candidate to mount a primary challenge against him.Buck, for his part, earned their wrath because he would rather focus on issues that matter to voters in his district like inflation, southern border security, and crime, rather than embrace and evangelize their fantasy political sideshow.Strike one: Buck, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, doesn’t believe the House has produced any evidence that Biden profited off his son’s foreign deals and has called the timeline for an impeachment inquiry absurd as he has seen no evidence of a high crime or misdemeanor. Buck is a former elected District Attorney of Weld County and Chief of the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney’s Office, but that is not a detail true believers respect — they only value blind allegiance. Buck is refusing to get in the ...

It's a highly automated process that looks more like a factory than a traditional farm.It starts with seeds being robotically planted and moved into a giant eight-story nursery room to germinate. The rooms are lit by LEDs and optimized for each specific crop.Once the seedlings are mature enough, they are transplanted by more robots into vertical frames that are then placed by more robots into giant vertical growing rooms.Since no pesticides are used and no human contact during the growing p...

Meet Stained Glass Dreamlander Amanda Maccagnan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:10:39 GMT

Artist Amanda Maccagnan works primarily in stained glass — an unusual choice for a young, unconventional talent whose aesthetic is more a blend of street, Pop, gothic and Queer than anything traditional to the medium. Experimenting with imagery and inventive techniques to create new kinds of texture, color, and gesture playing on the luminosity and emotional pull of chromatic glass, Maccagnan sometimes practices her craft in homage portraits to her favorite cultural figures — for example, characters from John Waters films, whose outrageous, ungovernable style has inspired her since forever.So when the Academy Museum was deep in exhibition design mode for their just-opened career survey John Waters: Pope of Trash, an idea was fleshed out to pay homage to the fact that Waters’ early films were often screened in Baltimore’s progressive churches. The entrance to the show is conceived as a darkened gothic chapel, with pews for watching an extended highlight reel before going on to the fu...
