Patterson, are you telling me those Romans wrecked or rebuilt their Senate house five times in ~50 years?

Exhibition: Charles Holden's master plan - building the Bloomsbury campus
Senate House was completed in 1937. Photo: Fitzrovia News.
In 1931 Architect Charles Holden, designer of many London Underground stations, was appointed by Sir William Beveridge, vice-chancellor of the University of London, to design a new Bloomsbury campus.
Holden’s response was the massive Portland stone clad tower of Senate House, which was completed in 1937.

Prank the White House
Vlad had problems as mayor of Amity Park,"Ghost attacks" don't count as villain attacks, so the repair wasn't paid.
Vlad had a genius idea for using Danny for it. But Danny complained that it would make people think that Phantom was a villain, so Vlad had to fix it.
He turned Danny into a toddler. Now who would declare him a villain? Without looking like the villain themselves!
+
But while older Danny would works for money, toddler Danny didn't work that way.
Jazz, while hugging her baby brother, looked at Vlad and said, " Money doesn't work with toddler Danny. You should have thought it through fully."
Vlad: "I will pay you candy for all your life."
Danny:" Deal!"
+
That was how Danny started to haunt the White House and Senate for candy and make sure that Vlad was able to get money from the ghost attacks.
After all, it's a ghost!
+
As the Justice League was called to capture the Meta toddler, it ended badly, as Batman lost his Batman candy as the toddler just took the candy and left. Saying if he does it more, he will get more candy.
So, the new plan is to find the contractor, as the toddler wouldn't cause that much chaos. Just making the politicians go crazy. And that isn't really a crime.
++
In the end
They chose to allow him to stay with them, while the toddler was a time bomb.But one they were unwilling to get rid of when he first showcased his power to make a shield that stopped a whole attack from Brainiac and his army as he tried to attack them.
Brainiac was now the living meme of "Let Me In!"
The new plan is:"Give him candy, let him play BUT FIND OUT WHO GAVE HIM THE CONTRACT TO HAUNT THEM! "
++
Vlad thinks his plan failed.
And with Jazz's help he did bring Danny back. He will have a new plan.
+
That was how Meta the toddler was missing from the White House as a vampire kidnapped him.

Bruh why does it feel like I'm the only one pointing out that primary elections are a thing?
We were all so gungho about primaries and nearly got Bernie to the general election, but then y'all seemed to abandon the concept when we got Joe instead. Don't you fuckin see??? Bernie's near victory in the primaries is WHY the Dems (under Biden) have been so progressive lately about student loans, unions, ect. It's because the Democrats are aware there's a large voting bloc that won't support them unless they have progressive policies.
Y'all can do that again in the 2024 primaries!!!
(I'm currently compiling a list) but there are a number of Democrat pro-Israel incumbent House and Senate reps up against better Democrat candidates in the 2024 spring primaries.
One example race is for California Senator; former House Rep Barbara Lee is running, and she has been among the few 18 House reps to cosponsor a bill for ceasefire. If you vote in the primaries, you could have 🍉 Barbara Lee as your Democrat Senator on the November ticket! 🍉
You can vote against the guys who let 10k+ people die without voting Republican or giving up your vote altogether.
Come the general election, we vote Democrat no matter what, because it is leagues better than the alternative.
But in the meantime: primaries, primaries, PRIMARIES
