Oldtimers in #SantaRosa lament the loss of the old library, and it *was* fantastic (you get a great look at it in SHADOW OF A DOUBT) but I also love the 1967 replacement. It's easy to miss as it's fairly low-slung and dominated by trees, but there are some very cool #midmod details. #architecture

Good comment from Jessica Ellis over on Bluesky
One thing i’d sure like to see the supposedly altruistic supposedly progressive rich people do is start new online news sites with powerful firewalls protecting journalistic integrity and freedom. The model isn’t broken, the model has been systematically shut down.
