The Italian Renaissance style former Wylie Department Store on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Built in 1889, it was designed by John Hutchison, with details drawn by his assistants Andrew Black and Charles Rennie MacKintosh. MacKintosh may have been responsible for some of the ornate internal plaster column capitals on the ground and first floors. These were still present until at least 2012, and may still be in place.

Democracy’s survival will be a huge issue in the November election.
According to an exclusive new poll for @zeteo_news and @dataprogress, a majority of voters say Donald Trump poses a greater threat to American democracy than Joe Biden, 51% to 44%.
trying to reckon the absolute horror we *know* is happening every single day w/ the vacuous prevaricating editorials in our most prestigious outlets by award-winning journalists upset that college kids won't talk to them or articulate their demands or protest the way they'd like
Dear #journalists,
Can you please stop calling what happened on January 6th a "riot"? It was an attempted coup. A #putsch, if you prefer. Or coup d'état if you're high-falutin'.
A riot is #chaos, usually #spontaneous, with no particular end-goal except "show them we're #angry".
The January 6 attempted #coup was organized, from the top down, with the express aim of preventing the #lawful transfer of #power.
It wasn't a goddam #riot.
At the Supreme Court, [Trump's lawyer] has argued the justices should not concern themselves with “lurid hypotheticals” that “almost certainly never will occur, and would virtually certainly result in impeachment and Senate conviction … if they did occur.”

Genuinely huge news from the American Psychological Association, which just voted 153-9 to pass a new policy agenda supporting transgender healthcare, actively dismantling the misinformation and lies ABOUT trans people and their healthcare needs, and calling for a complete repeal of all anti-trans bills, nationwide. It isn't federal law, but it is huge and will have a beneficial impact in a number of places in the US.
Well done on the APA, here, doing what they can to protect trans people.
