LA / carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell: The End of Living

The End of Living carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell February 18 - March 12, 2023 Opening Reception Saturday February 18th, 7 -10pm Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to present The End of Living, a two-person exhibition of new work by carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell. Consisting of video and sound installation (bell) and sculpture, installation, and drawing (Ruglio-Misurell), The End of Living sketches out proposals for scavenging pleasure, hope, and connection in a long apocalyptic now with no guarantee of a future in sight. This exhibition is the second part of an exchange between artist-run spaces in Berlin and Los Angeles; in 2022, bell & Ruglio-Misurell hosted an exhibition of work from the member artists of TSALA in their Berlin-based non-profit space, Horse & Pony. The End of Living takes its name from an inversion of New Queer Cinema filmmaker Gregg Araki’s first feature-length film, The Living End. Shot on a minuscule budget with few resources and fewer permits, Araki’s film took the crisis of a specific community (in this case, the AIDS epidemic at a particular moment in the early 1990s) and spun it into a broader generational existential crisis. Flavored with a strong dose of premillennialist doom, the film asks how we can continue living in a world that is clearly in its death throes. Following two HIV-positive men on a Bonnie and Clyde tour of the American West, The Living End writes a new mythology for how sex, ethics, friendship, and subcultural resistance can be sustained in a world whose centers of meaning and coherence have been fractured and sold off. bell’s new video and sound installation directly engages the source material The Living End, consisting of a multi-screen video installation mounted to a wrought iron fence installed in front of the gallery’s windows. The video installation samples, distorts, and re-edits key fragments from v. that amplify and elaborate moments of physical and erotic (dis)connection, the repetition and abstraction of found visual material proposing that, rather than seeking to escape where we find ourselves, we would do best to dig in and find our way through. Ruglio-Misurell will present a new body of work using personal experiences of the body, erotic touch, and clothing as the starting point. Pulling from his personal wardrobe, Ruglio-Misurell uses his former clothing to create freestanding sculptures, reliefs and hanging objects through casting and hardening the material. Garments such as jean cut-offs, jockstraps, tank tops, and button-downs are cut up, so only the seams and hems remain to show outlines of bodies. The altered garments have been soaked in Jesmonite (acrylic resin), making them hard once dry, and displayed on foil-covered pedestals. Using literal scraps and a mixture of constructed and found debris, these sculptures assemble leftovers, traces, casts, and impressions to tell fragments of stories. These works don’t offer easy kj to how to escape the disasters our generations have inherited, but they do have some propositions for how we can enjoy ourselves and each other as we try to repair. Rocco Ruglio-Misurell is a Berlin-based artist with a BFA from The Art Institute of Boston and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was born in Newark, NJ. In 2009, Ruglio-Misurell received a Fulbright Fellowship to Berlin. Exhibitions include a solo show at Dzialdov in Berlin (2022), Jak zapomnieć in Kraków (2019), a two-person show at KH7artspace in Aarhus, Denmark(2018), a solo show at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, VT (2017), and a two-person show at LVL3 in Chicago (2016). Past residencies include OxBow (2019), Mass Moca (2017), The Wassaic Project (2017), Vermont Studio Center (2016), Skowhegan (2011), and Ox-Bow (2008). Along with carrick bell, Ruglio-Misurell is the co-director of Horse & Pony, an artist-run studio and non-profit exhibition space with the aim of providing artists, curators, and other project spaces the opportunity to extend or act outside of their existing practices. carrick bell is a Berlin-based video artist and PhD researcher at Chelsea College of Arts. Bell received their MFA from SAIC in 2008, and a BA from Hampshire College in 2004. They have taught at Northwestern University and delivered lectures for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Residencies include Vermont Studio Center Fellowship Residency (2018); Crosstown Arts, Memphis (2018); NARS Foundation (2017); the Wassaic Project (2016) and Ox-Bow (2009). They have exhibited at KH7artspace (Aarhus), Chelsea College (London), Beverly’s New York, Kunsthalle Exnergasse (Vienna) Charim Gallery (Vienna), LW56 (Vienna), .hbc (Berlin), Brooklyn Pavillion of the Shanghai Biennial, and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). They have received stipends for artistic research (Berlin, 2021) and project space programming (Berlin, 2022). They are the co-founder and co-director of Berlin-based artist-run space Horse & Pony, and founder and programmer of Xanadu, a space for artists’ moving image work.

I saw [WILLOW LANE] at a coffee shop in [BROOKLYN] today. I forgot how much [SHE] looks like [MADELYN CLINE]. They are a [TWENTY-THREE] year old [WAITRESS] who’s been in NYC for [A YEAR] now. Every time we run into each other, they are always [SPONTANEOUS AND FREE SPIRITED] but I’ve heard people say they can also be [NON-COMMITTAL AND SELF-INDULGENT]. [OUT OF THE BLUE BY KATIE PRUITT] reminds me of them every time it comes on the radio. / @villagestart

Hello everyone! I’m Ella and I’m super excited to be part of this roleplay and introduce Willow to all of you, she’s a new muse but she’s based on an old muse of mine so I think I have her figured out or mostly lol. I’d love to plot with all of you, so please like this or hmu. If you want my discord, I’d be happy to give it to you, just ask :D

basics

NAME: ava willow lane

NICKNAME: will, lolo, pillow

GENDER: cis female

PLACE OF BIRTH: burlington, vermont

DATE OF BIRTH: september 28, 1997

AGE: twenty-three

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual

OCCUPATION: waitress

NEIGHBORHOOD: brooklyn

background

Burlington was a dream within a dream, the station next to heaven. A town in love with itself and whose residents gloated about the wooded land, creased by hills, and threaded by streams.

The Lanes were living the typical American dream: the big house with the white picket fence, a large backyard and two perfect children. It was dreamlike.

Their kids could count themselves lucky and Willow Lane certainly did for most of her life. As the youngest daughter of a successful surgeon and a renowned psychotherapist who taught at the University of Vermont, she was taught that receiving an education was the only way to get ahead in life.

Her parents made sure to set their kids to success and while most of the kids from her street were out there playing, she was holed up in her room, reading the stacks of encyclopedia books her parents bought me for her birthday.

As a young child, Willow was filled with a sense of wonder, and encouraged by her curious personality she wanted to learn everything.

By the time she was in the sixth grade, she was smarter than most of the kids in her class, still her parents reminded her every day that she must outrank them all. Her parents took pride in her achievements. They were quick to boast about it in public, but they remained strict in private. Anything less than gold didn’t deserve a place on the wall.

Her afternoons were always full. Whether it was ballet class, french lessons, piano lessons or soccer practice. She had no time for herself.

Then high school started and by then she was overworked. Tired of chasing perfection and only being met with a “try harder”.

TW: DRUGS, ADDICTION, VOMIT MENTION, PANIC ATTACK: While she was still number one at her school, it was taking everything in her to keep it that way. Her parents didn’t know about those panic attacks she suffered at night or how she threw up before any competition. To them, she was handling well and she was very good at pretending but she also had a little secret. In her sophomore year, she was introduced to Adderall and she was quickly hooked. END OF TW

When she got accepted into a prestigious university, her parents didn’t hesitate to brag about how their kid would attend an Ivy League but Willow was mortified.

Back in Burlington, she was the biggest fish in the sea but at Princeton there were students who were better and shone brighter than her.

Maybe it was because she was suddenly cast into a whole new world that was so different from the one she grew up in. Maybe it was because she had harbored a bit of resentment towards her parents for her wasted youth. Whatever it was, by the end of her freshman year, university had swallowed her up.

TW ALCOHOL, DRUGS, DEPRESSION She got into a bad crowd, drank herself into oblivion, partied harder than anyone, and developed a penchant for bad boys who were much older than her. All this while trying to maintain a perfect GPA. Thanks to her magic pill, she was able to function and not feel guilty about not being as perfect as her parents wanted her to be. After all, she was only trying to recover the freedom that they took from her.

But this coping mechanism only turned to worse. The more she tried to drown her feelings in alcohol, the harder it came to bite her in the ass. It was clear as water: Willow Lane, picture perfect daughter, was depressed and had been for a while, and now it had caught up to her.

She was fighting a battle she was slowly losing. Willow was in a constant state of helplessness, staring into the void, and completely unable to pull herself out of it. If it hadn’t been for the upbringing she had, she would have been completely fine with self-destruct. END OF TW

The summer after her freshman year, she came back home and decided to have a talk with her parents. Her parents sat across the table, and they were not celebrating the end of a successful first semester, instead, they were fuming with betrayal.

Willow told them that she had dropped most of her classes and she explained to them how she was exhausted beyond repair. They were displeased, so disappointed that looking at them was painful. For the first time in their life, their perfect daughter had failed them.

By the end of the evening, her father was livid. Threatened her that if she didn’t take more classes and got excellent grades he would stop paying her tuition. That’s when it hit her. To her parents, she was nothing but an object, an accomplishment to brag about to her friends. That was not love, that was selfish and a wake up call.

She packed up her stuff that evening, went back to Princeton and emptied her dorm as well as she dropped out completely.

Freedom at last. With only a few bucks in her account, she bought a random bus ticket that took her to Montreal, Canada where she stayed for a couple of weeks, while working as a waitress before she moved to a new location. For the past three years, Willow has been living off a backpack.

She moved to New York a year ago, but she comes and goes. Whenever she gets bored or too attached to someone she escapes.

She’s been clean for three years when it comes to Adderall, although she still drinks but only socially.

personality

Despite her strict upbringing, Willow is a free-spirit! She’s always looking for a new adventure and she wants to live her life to the fullest, she doesn’t care about rules or schedules. She lives a pretty hedonistic lifestyle, always chasing a high in life and sometimes that makes her take some reckless decisions. A naturally loving person, Willow is always there to lend a shoulder to cry on or offer to wipe off your tears, however, she does struggle with connections. If she feels a deep connection with someone she runs away as she believes that being attached to someone will tie her up to one place and as we know, Willow lives a pretty nomad life. She keeps coming back to New York because she loves the vibe but when she gets bored or overwhelmed she leaves without warning. As loving as she is, she can also be ruthless and cold, especially when feeling vulnerable. She has a sharp tongue and it’s not afraid to hurt some feelings if that means shattering the pristine image some people have of her.

headcanons

She has a rib cage tattoo that reads “Eternity bores me, I never wanted it.” It’s a quote from Sylvia Plath.

Speaks French fluently and sometimes she likes to pretend she’s a lost French tourist just for fun.

Volunteers at the animal shelter. Because she doesn’t have a set home, she can’t have a pet but she loves animals.

Never has enough battery on her phone and sometimes she sings in the subway to earn some coins because she tends to forget her wallet.

Really good friends with the homeless woman who lives down her street, she brings her food from the restaurant.

Keeps many scrapbooks from the places she’s been.

Sometimes she goes to music stores and plays the piano, one of the few activities she enjoyed as a child.

Loves reading and whenever she’s not getting in trouble or working, she’s at the library.

Wears too many rings, so don’t try to mug her.

connections

Older brother: Willow has an older brother who followed her parents’ plan. He graduated college and now has a very important job. Willow hasn’t spoken to him in three years, even if he’s tried to contact her. She just doesn’t want any ties to her old life, including her family.

“Best Friend”: I put it between quotations because she doesn’t stay in one place long enough to actually form long lasting friendships but this person is the closest to that. She adores them and actually sends them a postcard when she leaves.

Partner in crime: As stated, Willow is pretty reckless and she does a lot of stupid shit but she’s always seeking for someone to be her partner in crime and just go crazy with them.

Co-workers/Clients: She works as a waitress at a restaurant (if your character has a restaurant let me know, bc idk where she would work).

Neighbor: She lives in a small apartment in Brooklyn with two other roommates, it’s not ideal but it’s what she has.

College friends/hook ups: Oh during her college year, she was a party girl and she made a lot of “friends” (She attended Princeton btw) and also hooked up with a lot of people (f/m/nb), most of them were older than her.

Flirtationship: She is a natural flirt and she doesn’t even try to hide it.

Unrequited: Maybe your character has a crush on her (and depending on chemistry maybe she does as well but since she moves often she tries to ignore it). It’s angsty, it’s fun, give it to me. (f/m/nb)

Hook ups: Y’all know the drill

Bad tinder date: Willow thought it would be fun to go on a tinder date and she proposed some crazy scheme and they both had to spend the night in a jail cell.

Roommates: She lives in Brooklyn with two more roommates.

It’s that time of the year again. The witches of New England have cast their spells, the planets are aligning and everything is ready for the Return. That’s right, it’s the annual big Saab meet in DC. At Bad Cars Monthly, we are huge fans of the quirky little two-stroke front-wheel-drive half-turbocharged convertible crackpipe brand, so we hitched a ride (because none of our cars work) and checked it out for you, our readers.

From all across North America, the Saab faithful gather here to get the one guy with a working dealership computer to reprogram their TWICE modules so they can lock their doors again. Saabs of all stripes are here, from badly-running demi-Subarus to clattering cheese-shaped sportsish cars driven by professors of ancient Mesopotamian pottery. You could be forgiven for feeling a little light headed, because it’s hard not to wander into the glorious cloud of two-stroke smoke from the “vintage” section as they fight each other for the last box of rust-repair tinfoil left in the grocery store.

A lot of our readers own cars made by defunct companies. Rambler, International Harvester, General Motors. You told us that you wanted to hear from the best of the best about how to scavenge parts from other marques to keep your unique little beasties on the road after the parent company has abandoned you. Well, the Saab community has been abandoned since well before the company went under, so they’ve got some special techniques for you.

Timothy Eagerwell, of Vermont: “Junkyard employees are all too young to remember what a Saab is, so if you see one in the yard, just swap it with a Cavalier overnight.”

Bob Newport, of Rhode Island: “Just buy a lot more Saabs and then you should either have spare parts or parts that you can barter for spare parts. And if you still can’t find parts, just buy a different model of Saab and start collecting for that one.”

I enjoyed my time in the wilderness with these Saab owners. The atmosphere is not like any other car meet I’ve ever been to; here, people are just a little bit kinder, a little bit more gentle. They know that life can be snuffed out in an instant by a domineering corporation that acquires your loved ones and makes them build bad LCD modules. That knowledge shows in their actions, and their unprompted essay-length advice.

Green Velvet (a Miraculous fanfic) - Chapter 3/?

Read it here: FanFiction.Net | AO3

Summary: Investigator Dupain-Cheng (dubbed Ladybug by the public) is used to strange cases coming her way and her latest one is no different, involving murder, intrigue, and an actor with peridot eyes that she can't seem to shake. Then, the case grows and things get personal. Rated T, Adrienette/LadyNoir, slow burn, film noir 1950's AU, ongoing.

Length of Chapters (avg): Medium

Rating: T/PG-13

Status: Ongoing

——————————

Marinette returns to her office after meeting with Alya, feeling more confident than before. Alya is like that- she leaves you feeling ready to take on the world or the complete opposite (though the latter is usually the case with the frauds she exposes). Yes, the potential involvement of this Hawkmoth guy does scratch at the back of Marinette's consciousness, but, for the moment, she's more focused on figuring out what leads to look into next than worrying.

Glancing to her case board, Marinette decides to return to the scene of the crime- the theater. Donning her coat, she heads downtown and finds herself at the theater at the peak of the evening ticket rush, the box office lineup trailing down the sidewalk. When she speaks to the doorman, he retreats inside without another word and promptly returns with the pale-faced employee who had asked her to the theater on the morning of the murder discovery. Almost more nervous than before, the employee leads her into the lobby, the crowd parting to let them through.

"I'd like to look around a bit more, if that’s alright." Marinette asks, once pleasantries have been exchanged. The employee- the assistant theater manager, in fact, according to his badge- nods feverishly.

"Of course, of course. The manager said you could have your run of the place, if you came back. Um, but- uh..." He says, faltering. "Our show starts in 45 minutes, so, uh, if you could be careful while doing your work- we don't want the staff or actors to get wind of any investigation details. If word spreads, it wouldn't be good for publicity. Theater folk aren't much for being, uh...discreet with things." He finishes sheepishly. Marinette smiles thinly.

“Being careful is part of my job.” She says reassurigly. The assistant manager glances at Marinette’s distinctive trenchcoat and, looking as if he is going to speak, changes his mind and simply nods at her. With a final smile, Marinette turns away and makes her way through the lobby to the doors leading backstage.

Behind the deep red stage curtains, the air buzzes with activity and people flit up and down the stage impatiently. Not wanting to disturb the actors as they prepare for showtime, Marinette follows the back wall through the off-stage area, taking note of what she passes. The ropes for the backdrops and racks of supplies for prop and set repair line the side of the wall by stage right. Down a far corridor and around the corner, Marinette finds the dressing rooms. She strolls past their worn wood doors, pausing in front of the last one- Catherine Gregory’s old room. When Gregory's face, cold with death and yet glamourous, flashes through Marinette’s mind, she turns away. Before she can take a step forward, however, a voice pipes up behind her.

"Investigator Dupain-Cheng?" The voice asks quizzically. Marinette looks around and sees Adrien Vermonte standing a few feet away. He is dressed in costume- a dark brocaded suit with a high collar- and looks as though he paused on his way somewhere, the door beside Gregory's swung open. Marinette remembers the actor's interview- he said his room was right beside Cathy's. Marinette frowns at the situation. How unusually unlucky. Then she remembers that she's with a potential source of information and trades her frown for a neutral expression.

"Mr. Vermonte." Marinette says politely. Adrien smiles, relaxing against the door frame.

"Its just Adrien." He says, curiousity gleaming in his eyes. "How is the investigation going?" Marinette feels the urge to give him a witty remark- he's just asking for it- but she knows better.

"As well as a murder investigation can go." She replies with a straight face, settling for something in the middle. Adrien looks intrigued.

"Find out anything interesting?" He asks. Marinette cocks an eyebrow.

“I can't share the details of the investigation.” She says. Adrien’s eyes narrow slightly.

“Nothing at all?” He asks, his tone slightly questioning. Marinette shakes her head.

“No.” She replies. After a moment, Adrien sighs and shrugs.

“Fair enough.” He says pleasantly, waiting a beat before speaking again. “Are you looking for more clues?”

“I'm afraid I can't share that with you, either.” Marinette says solemnly. Adrien doesn’t appear to be phased by this, as he crosses his arms and watches her.

“The back door was broken over the last couple days. Someone discovered it yesterday. Could've been the killer.” Adrien says nonchalauntly. He motions to a door down the corridor, shrouded in shadows. “They haven’t fixed it yet.”

“Thanks for the tip,” Marinette replies. For all she knows, it could be a fake lead- people who point out clues are either very enthusastic or trying to hide something, and Marinette doesn’t know which category Adrien falls into. She should still check it out nonetheless. Adrien smiles again.

“No problem.” He says, before motioning down the corridor. “I’m due on-stage anytime now, so I’d better go. My offer still stands if you need an ear on the inside.” He adds, his green eyes lingering before he turns and walks down the hallway. Marinette frowns again but says nothing as Adrian turns the corner and disappears. Silently, she turns away and continues her search.

The rest of the dressing room corridor is spotless; nothing appears to be out of place or unusual. However, when Marinette reaches the back door that Adrian had mentioned, it is immediately obvious that someone had indeed forced it. The lock panel has been bent back uniformly and beyond repair, a feat not easily accomplished and clearly done by someone who knew what they were doing. Alya’s words of caution ring again in the back of Marinette’s mind, but Marinette lets them float away. She has a job to do.

The rest of the search is fruitless; Marinette finishes checking the area backstage but finds nothing that seems suspicious. The one interesting thing she does discover is the actor sign-in sheet pasted on the wall by the entrance. The whole cast on the list signed in and out at regular times on the night before the murder with the exception of Gregory and one actress, whose sign-out time was an hour later than everyone else. Noting the name of the actress, Marinette heads back to the main lobby. Re-entering the main foyer of the theater as the show is about to begin, she hunts down the assistant manager, who looks no more composed than before.

“Was the back door broken into recently?” Marinette asks him. The man goes pale.

“Yes, yes, we, uh- reported it to the police. We don’t know when it happened exactly, but it wasn't broken before the murder happened." He stammers out.

"Nothing was reported stolen?" Marinette asks. The assistant manager shakes his head vigorously.

"Any other strange discoveries around here?" Marinette continues. The assistant manager ponders the question for a moment before shaking his head again. Though Marinette has no other questions planned, an image of the sign-out sheet suddenly pops into her head.

"One last question; do you keep a visitor log for people entering the theater or delivering things backstage?" She asks offhandely. At this, the assistant manager leads her to the box office and hands her a clipboard with a log clipped to it. As Marinette scans the list, she doesn't see much of note at first- it's mostly postal deliverymen and cleaners on the log, and no one signed in at unusual times or times close to the murder. Then, Marinette spots it- one sign-out from the night before the murder listed as “Agreste costume delivery”. The name sounds vaguely familiar, but Marinette can’t place it.

“Do you know who this delivery was for?” Marinette asks the assistant manager, pointing to the sign-out on the log. The assistant manager gulps.

“Agreste Fashions sometimes makes costumes- or, ah, made costumes for Ms. Gregory. She was the only actor who ordered costumes specially for her.” As the man says this, Marinette knows she’s found a solid lead.

Thanking the assistant manager and leaving the theater, Marinette mulls over what she now theater was broken into by a professional and may or may not be related to the murder. Nothing was reported stolen or discovered amiss, which points to the break-in being indeed related to the murder. Not only this, but it seems likely that Gregory did have a visitor the night before her death. There's still other leads to check out- the one actress who clocked out late, for example- which leaves a lot of options as to who could have murdered the starlet. As Marinette walks down the sidewalk, she hums with satisfaction. Her intuition tells her she's on the right track.

Something is still missing, however. While the leads as to the murderer and such are numerous, the motivation isn't. Nothing Marinette has discovered has given her any indication as to why someone would want Gregory dead. Those who immediately jumped out at the start have alibis and no one else seems to have had a good enough reason for murder. Marinette ponders over this as she unlocks her car and gets in. There must be more to this case than meets the eye, and it worries her that she doesn't know what it could be. With this on her mind, she starts the car and drives off.

LA / The End of Living

The End of Living carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell February 18 - March 19, 2023 Opening Reception Saturday February 18th, 7 -10pm

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to present The End of Living, a two-person exhibition of new work by carrick bell and Rocco Ruglio-Misurell. Consisting of video and sound installation (bell) and sculpture, installation, and drawing (Ruglio-Misurell), The End of Living sketches out proposals for scavenging pleasure, hope, and connection in a long apocalyptic now with no guarantee of a future in sight.

This exhibition is the second part of an exchange between artist-run spaces in Berlin and Los Angeles; in 2022, bell & Ruglio-Misurell hosted an exhibition of work from the member artists of TSALA in their Berlin-based non-profit space, Horse & Pony.

The End of Living takes its name from an inversion of New Queer Cinema filmmaker Gregg Araki’s first feature-length film, The Living End. Shot on a minuscule budget with few resources and fewer permits, Araki’s film took the crisis of a specific community (in this case, the AIDS epidemic at a particular moment in the early 1990s) and spun it into a broader generational existential crisis. Flavored with a strong dose of premillennialist doom, the film asks how we can continue living in a world that is clearly in its death throes. Following two HIV-positive men on a Bonnie and Clyde tour of the American West, The Living End writes a new mythology for how sex, ethics, friendship, and subcultural resistance can be sustained in a world whose centers of meaning and coherence have been fractured and sold off.

bell’s new video and sound installation directly engages the source material The Living End, consisting of a multi-screen video installation mounted to a wrought iron fence installed in front of the gallery’s windows. The video installation samples, distorts, and re-edits key fragments from The Living End that amplify and elaborate moments of physical and erotic (dis)connection, the repetition and abstraction of found visual material proposing that, rather than seeking to escape where we find ourselves, we would do best to dig in and find our way through.

Ruglio-Misurell will present a new body of work using personal experiences of the body, erotic touch, and clothing as the starting point. Pulling from his personal wardrobe, Ruglio-Misurell uses his former clothing to create freestanding sculptures, reliefs and hanging objects through casting and hardening the material. Garments such as jean cut-offs, jockstraps, tank tops, and button-downs are cut up, so only the seams and hems remain to show outlines of bodies. The altered garments have been soaked in Jesmonite (acrylic resin), making them hard once dry, and displayed on foil-covered pedestals. Using literal scraps and a mixture of constructed and found debris, these sculptures assemble leftovers, traces, casts, and impressions to tell fragments of stories. These works don’t offer easy answers to how to escape the disasters our generations have inherited, but they do have some propositions for how we can enjoy ourselves and each other as we try to repair.

Bios

Rocco Ruglio-Misurell is a Berlin-based artist with a BFA from The Art Institute of Boston and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was born in Newark, NJ. In 2009, Ruglio-Misurell received a Fulbright Fellowship to Berlin. Exhibitions include a solo show at Dzialdov in Berlin (2022), Jak zapomnieć in Kraków (2019), a two-person show at KH7artspace in Aarhus, Denmark(2018), a solo show at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, VT (2017), and a two-person show at LVL3 in Chicago (2016). Past residencies include OxBow (2019), Mass Moca (2017), The Wassaic Project (2017), Vermont Studio Center (2016), Skowhegan (2011), and Ox-Bow (2008).

Along with carrick bell, Ruglio-Misurell is the co-director of Horse & Pony, an artist-run studio and non-profit exhibition space with the aim of providing artists, curators, and other project spaces the opportunity to extend or act outside of their existing practices.

carrick bell is a Berlin-based video artist and PhD researcher at Chelsea College of Arts. Bell received their MFA from SAIC in 2008, and a BA from Hampshire College in 2004. They have taught at Northwestern University and delivered lectures for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Residencies include Vermont Studio Center Fellowship Residency (2018); Crosstown Arts, Memphis (2018); NARS Foundation (2017); the Wassaic Project (2016) and Ox-Bow (2009). They have exhibited at KH7artspace (Aarhus), Chelsea College (London), Beverly’s New York, Kunsthalle Exnergasse (Vienna) Charim Gallery (Vienna), LW56 (Vienna), .hbc (Berlin), Brooklyn Pavillion of the Shanghai Biennial, and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). They have received stipends for artistic research (Berlin, 2021) and project space programming (Berlin, 2022). They are the co-founder and co-director of Berlin-based artist-run space Horse & Pony, and founder and programmer of Xanadu, a space for artists’ moving image work.

There Are 420 Days Left Until The 2020 Presidential Election

Adam Drury of High Times Reports:

Nine Democratic presidential candidates have qualified for the third debate. With 420 days until election night, here’s your rundown of where they stand on the issue of cannabis.

If you’re counting down the 2020 presidential election, today marks an important milestone on the campaign trail, with 420 days left until it’s time to cast your ballot. And if, like many Americans, you’re making marijuana policy reform a priority next year, as in finally making marijuana legal across the United States, you probably want to know where each presidential candidate stands on the issue of cannabis.

Under pressure from voters and progressive rivals with strong records of supporting marijuana legalization, many Democratic presidential candidates are revising their past views on cannabis. Some are evolving so quickly it can be tough to keep up. So with 420 days left until the 2020 presidential election, here’s a snapshot of where all the top contenders currently stand.

Cannabis is a Defining Issue for Democratic Presidential Candidates

On the issue of cannabis reform, the Democratic party has moved decisively to the left, with most top candidates calling for full nationwide legalization. But there are some holdouts who favor decriminalization over legalization, and a few who have been relatively quiet on the cannabis question.

Bernie Sanders: Bernie is 420’s Best Friend

Bernie Sanders, the Independent senator from Vermont, has the most progressive and pro-cannabis presidential platform of any of the 2020 candidates. Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, wants to legalize marijuana nationwide. He wants to erase marijuana convictions. And he wants cannabis businesses to be able to finally work with federally-insured banks.

Sen. Sanders, indisputably one of the top three contenders for the Democratic nomination for president, even has an A+ rating from NORML, going back to 2015. For years, Sanders has sponsored a number of cannabis reform bills, including the Marijuana Justice Act, during his tenure in the Senate.

Sanders’ 420-friendly campaign platform isn’t just about weed. His strong stance on cannabis legalization is part of a broader criminal justice reform plan to end the war on drugs, invest in drug treatment centers and support medical cannabis research. And yes, Sanders has inhaled.

Elizabeth Warren: Evolving on Marijuana

In the press, on social media and in her public appearances, Massachusetts Senator and 2020 Democratic frontrunner Elizabeth Warren has stated she supports cannabis legalization. Some of her strongest comments in favor of legalizing cannabis nationwide came in April during a CNN town hall.

But on Warren’s campaign website, the word “marijuana” appears only once, in a paragraph on criminal justice reform. Criminal justice reform “means comprehensive sentencing reform and rewriting our laws to decriminalize marijuana,” Warren’s website reads. Legalization and decriminalization are two completely different policies, and it’s so far unclear which approach a President Warren would adopt.

Under pressure from progressive rivals and a voter base largely in favor of legal cannabis, Warren has tried to make her past record on marijuana reform look stronger than it is. Prior to 2016, Warren opposed general legalization and hesitantly expressed openness to legal medical cannabis. Recently, however, her views on cannabis seem to have shifted. But Warren doesn’t have the record or the consistency that Sanders has on the marijuana issue, despite her public statements.

Joe Biden: Drug War Architect

Joe Biden, whom many polls indicate is leading the pack of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, has carved out a unique position on cannabis. According to Biden’s official campaign website, his platform would decriminalize the use of cannabis and automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions. Biden’s platform also calls for legalizing cannabis for medical purposes and giving states leeway to set their own laws regarding recreational use. Biden would also reclassify cannabis as a Schedule II controlled substance, which would make it much easier for researchers to study.

Despite these views, however, marijuana policy reform advocates aren’t lining up behind Biden. And they’re pointing to his record as the reason why not. For decades, Biden has stood sharply opposed to marijuana legalization. He once tried to pass a bill criminalizing raves. Marijuana policy experts also broadly recognize Biden as the architect of the modern war on drugs. Some even consider Biden more out of step on cannabis than President Trump.

Kamala Harris: From Cop to Marijuana Justice Co-Sponsor

In recent years, Kamala Harris’ stance on marijuana has evolved significantly. In fact, it was as recently as 2018 that the U.S. Senator from California came out in favor of federal cannabis legalization and comprehensive expungement. Most recently, Harris signed on to the MORE Act, a huge bill that would legalize marijuana and allocate federal funds to support entrepreneurs of color in the cannabis industry.

But like other 2020 presidential hopefuls, Harris has been pushed left from rivals with more progressive platforms. And her record on cannabis is anything but 420-friendly. In fact, that record came under attack in a viral moment from the first debate when Tulsi Gabbard zoomed in on the thousands of people Harris locked up for minor cannabis offenses when she was California attorney general. In the past, Harris has adopted much of the lock-em-up mentality of the war on drugs. Now, as a candidate for president, her views have completely reversed.

Pete Buttigieg: Banned Synthetic Cannabinoids

Pete Buttigieg is mayor of South Bend, Indiana and polling just behind Harris at about 5 percent among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. But unlike many of his rivals in the field, Buttigieg has yet to outline a clear stance on cannabis. Mayor Pete likes to tell a story about a close call with police when he was smoking a joint during his Harvard days, and he connects that tale to statements about privilege and racial disparities in drug enforcement.

Indeed, Buttigieg views reforming failed drug policies as a social justice issue. His public statements and social media posts all appear to support marijuana reform, including legalization. But in terms of direct policy proposals, Buttigieg comes up empty, both as a mayor and a presidential candidate. Buttigieg’s campaign website doesn’t mention marijuana. And as South Bend mayor, he signed no legislation dealing with cannabis (but he did sign a bill banning the sale of synthetic cannabinoids).

Andrew Yang: “I Don’t Love Marijuana”

Andrew Yang has distinguished his campaign platform with a call for universal basic income. But his views on cannabis line up with other candidates who want to end the war on drugs and legalize cannabis. Yang’s official campaign website proposes a three-point marijuana reform policy package.

First, Yang says he will support the full legalization of marijuana at the federal level and remove it from the controlled substances list. Second, Yang’s platform calls for expunging federal marijuana use or possession offenses. And third, Yang wants to identify non-violent drug offenders for probation and even early release.

Adopting a more personal note, Yang says he doesn’t love marijuana and prefers people don’t use it heavily. But he still thinks the current criminalization of cannabis is “stupid and racist” and believes the only path is to proceed with full legalization.

Cory Booker: All About Restorative Justice

Since 2017, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has been the chief proponent of the Marijuana Justice Act, a comprehensive reform bill that would legalize cannabis nationwide, expunge criminal records and invest in communities impacted most by the war on drugs. In his public appearances, Booker emphasizes the need not just to legalize cannabis but to also repair and rebuild the damage caused by criminalizing it.

But on Cory Booker’s official 2020 campaign website, you won’t find any mention of legalizing marijuana. Instead, Booker’s criminal justice platform calls for decriminalizing marijuana, expunging records and restoring justice to individuals and communities that have been devastated by the drug war. Booker hasn’t clearly addressed the discrepancy between his public support for legalization and his website’s call for decriminalization. In the past, when Booker hasn’t supported marijuana bills, it has been because they haven’t been strong enough on restorative justice.

Beto O’Rourke: Long-Time Legalization Supporter

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke‘s official campaign platform calls for the federal government to end its prohibition on cannabis. But it doesn’t clarify whether that prohibition should end with decriminalization or full legalization. In an email sent to supporters of his 2020 presidential bid, however, O’Rourke called for federal cannabis legalization as part of a package of sweeping criminal justice reforms.

Like other justice Democrats, O’Rourke is framing marijuana legalization as a way to reduce mass incarceration. It’s a way of presenting the issue that connected strongly with Texas voters, winning O’Rourke election to El Paso City Council and bringing him close to flipping Ted Cruz’ senate seat blue. O’Rourke has a record of consistently supporting progressive drug policy and cannabis legalization.

Julián Castro: Legalize Then Expunge

On the campaign trail, Julián Castro has consistently expressed support for progressive marijuana through the lens of criminal justice reform. Instead of drawing attention to legalization alone, Castro has stressed the need for criminal record expungement and responsible regulation. On other occasions, Castro has been more direct, tweeting after one town hall “Legalize it. Then expunge the records of folks who are in prison for marijuana use.” Typically, expungements apply to people who have already served their sentences, and Castro hasn’t clarified whether he supports amnesty for marijuana offenses or simply misspoke.

Despite public statements and social media posts calling for legalization, Castro’s official campaign website doesn’t outline a definite stance on cannabis policy. So it’s unclear exactly what Castro would pursue at the federal level as president.

Castro has just one federal drug policy action on his record. In 2014, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for President Barack Obama, Castro released a memo reminding owners of federal housing facilities that they are required to deny entry to anyone using marijuana, even if they do so legally under state law, such as for medical reasons.

420 Days Until the Most Important Vote of 2020

United States voters’ growing consensus on the issue of marijuana legalization means cannabis could be a make or break issue for the 2020 primaries. Marijuana policy is front and center in the national conversation, and shifts in federal drug laws will shape and define the legal cannabis industry and our criminal justice system for years to come.

Built For Life: 15 Products Backed By Lifetime Warrantees

Whenever you buy something, you gamble. Will the sole of this boot wear out too quickly? Will this supposedly well-built umbrella be forced inside out by a gust of wind? Will a wheel on this “rugged” rolling luggage stop spinning if it’s so much as looked at funny by a TSA baggage handler? You do you research and weigh the pros and cons in your head and hope that if you lay down good money for something, it lasts for at least a few good years.

The gear here lasts far longer than that. All of the items listed — including luggage, backpacks, umbrellas, boots, kitchen knives, and more — are backed by lifetime warranty, a promise from the maker that if anything happened on their end — and, often, during its life with you — they have you covered. In short, they believe in their products and the use you’ll get out of them. Here are 15 of our favorite products backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Davek Umbrellas

As anyone who has dealt with a collapsed drugstore version three seconds into opening it in a thunderstorm can attest, a quality umbrella is worth the investment. Davek, maker of excellent mini and full-size umbrellas, come with an unconditional lifetime guarantee: if the umbrella you purchase isn’t working properly for any reason, simply pay shipping, and you’ll receive a free repair or replacement. Our favorite is the flagship Davek Solo, which features the Davek WindFibre Frame System and strong, 190-thread count fabric for maximum wind resistance.

Osprey Packs and Bags

Osprey makes some of the sturdiest backpacks and bags on the market, everything from rolling duffel bags to hardcore hiking packs. All of their products are covered by Osprey’s All Mighty Guarantee, which states that “Osprey will repair any damage or defect for any reason free of charge – whether it was purchased in 1974 or yesterday.” If you’re in the market for a quality guaranteed pack, take a look at the Daylite Plus, a 20 L model made of nylon tough enough to be covered by this guarantee despite weighing only one pound.

Eddie Bauer Apparel, Footwear, and Outdoor Gear

The venerable retailer offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee. “Every item we sell will give you complete satisfaction or you may return it for a full refund” is a simple sentence and a trademarked phrase that sums it up. Eddie Bauer’s products aren’t flashy — they’re refined classics that get the job done — like these waterproof leather work boots with rubber outsole.

Duluth Trading Company Workwear

Duluth’s hyper-rugged branding extends to their lifetime warranty, which they call a “No Bull Guarantee.” It states that “If you’re not 100% satisfied with any item you purchase, return it to us at any time for a refund of its purchase price.” That means that if you pick up the cotton canvas and flannel Limber Jacket, you can rest assured that the metal snaps and water- and stain-repellant FendOff finish won’t let you down.

Buy Now $75

Zippo Windproof Lighters

Zippo lighters are iconic. Part of the reason they’ve been popular for so long is their build quality. The company’s warranty covers the actual functionality of the lighter, not the finish, but the patina of a well-worn Zippo is something to be enjoyed, not repaired. Zippo has not shied away from promotional branding, but we prefer a lighter with a simpler design like this replica of a 1941 model.

Darn Tough Socks

The Vermont-based hosier has an unconditional lifetime guarantee. You can exchange your socks for another pair if they’re not “the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned,” a pretty loose set of criteria. It covers everything from thick winter socks to running socks to hiking socks like the Hiker Micro Crew Casual. If you get a hole on a hike or somehow find them wanting, you can fill out an online form to return that pair in exchange for a new one. That’s a darn good deal.

Buy Now $22

CutCo Knives and Kitchen Tools

The CutCo Forever guarantee has been around since 1949. It promises that its knives, kitchen tools, cookware and outdoor merchandise will be “as good tomorrow as the first time they used it.” If there’s something wrong with one of their products, the company will repair or replace it. If knives need sharpening, they’ll do so for cheap (just $9 for up to 10 items to start). And if you mess up your knife outside of normal use, you can get a new one for half of its usual price. Their flagship knives, including the 7-5/8-inch petite chef’s knife, can be guaranteed because their high-carbon, stainless steel blades are just as durable as they sound.

Buy Now $136

Vermont Teddy Bear Company

Kids can be really hard on their toys, particularly stuffed animals they tote around everywhere, so the lifetime guarantee from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company is truly remarkable. If anything happens to your kid’s bear, all you have to do is fill out a form and mail it to the company’s Bear Hospital, where they will make all the necessary repairs. Kids can even follow the progress of their bear in the virtual hospital site set up by the company.

Briggs & Riley Luggage

Your luggage would be pristine if it never left the house, but that’s not what luggage is for. From sprints through the airport to trips through the checked baggage system, traveling takes its toll. Briggs and Riley will repair, free of charge, all functional damage to the luggage you buy from them. Cosmetic wear and tear isn’t included, but a well-worn suitcase is a sign of a well-traveled person, and who cares if your luggage is scuffed if it still works as well as it did the day you bought it? To repair something that needs fixing, just pay to ship it to the company. They’ll do the repairs and ship it back for free. Start with the standard Sympatico International Expandable Carry-On Spinner and add whatever other pieces, from checked luggage to toiletry bags, you’ll need for your adventures.

Buy Now $529

Craftsman Hand Tools

With a few exceptions, Craftsman offers a full lifetime warranty on its hand tools, no proof of purchase required. That means that when you buy a set of socket wrenches, it will be not only the only set you ever have to buy but, if you pass them down, the only set your kids will have to buy. Every handle, socket and extender in the kit is made of steel, so in a very real way they’re the perfect product: so strong you couldn’t mess them up even if you tried.

Buy Now $25

Kryptonite Bike Locks

There’s no point in buying a shoddy bike lock, so picking one with a strong warranty behind it is a necessity for those not looking to waste their money (and potentially lose their bike). Kryptonite has a lifetime limited warranty on the materials and workmanship that go into its locks. As long as it’s properly sized for your bike and you don’t use it for anything besides locking up your bike (and what else might you even use it for?) Kryptonite locks like the cleverly named New York Fahgettaboudit Mini U-Lock are covered. Combined with anti-theft protection of $5,000, it’s hard to think of a bike lock that could provide more peace of mind.

Buy Now $117

Victorinox Knives and Tools

Victorinox makes a bunch of different knives and tools, but you probably know them best as the manufacturer of the Swiss Army knife, the classic pocketknife. And if you start carrying a Pioneer Alox Limited Edition, your go-to blade, reamer, can opener, 3 mm screwdriver, bottle opener, 7.5 mm screwdriver, wire stripper and key ring are protected by a lifetime warranty should anything break in the course of your adventures.

Buy Now $52

Big Green Egg Ceramic Grills

Big Green Eggs are big investments (of green), so it’s comforting to know that the company stands behind all of its grills with a limited lifetime warranty. It covers the ceramic, metal and wood components of its grills, which come in sizes from Mini to XLarge, and can only be purchased from local dealers. The medium size will run you about $800 depending on your market and dealer, a sizable investment but one you can be confident in thanks to the warranty.

Buy Now $800

Lodge Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron Cookware

An important caveat: Lodge does not provide a lifetime warranty on its cast iron pans. What is covered are all of its porcelain products like its dutch ovens, available in a number of bright colors on the outside and an off white finish on the inside that makes it easy to see its contents. If you discover a defect in the course of normal household use Lodge will repair or replace your cookware free of charge.

Buy Now $60

SureFire Flashlights

Like umbrellas, you probably don’t think much about flashlights until you suddenly need one. If you’re looking for a quality flashlight to use during your next power outage or overnight camping trip, definitely consider a SureFire. Some of their products have components like headbands or rechargeable batteries that will wear out and aren’t covered, but a standard 5.6-inch tactical LED flashlight doesn’t have any such components, so it’s effectively a comprehensive warranty that will cover any future needed repairs or replacements, however unlikely they may be.

Live Video: McCain Tribute at U.S. Capitol

Senator John McCain’s body will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. Mr. McCain will be the 13th former senator to receive the honor.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Photo by Tom Brenner for The New York Times. Watch in Times Video »

Right Now: Legislators, family and friends of Senator John McCain are gathering in the Capitol ahead of the ceremony.

• Senator John McCain will lie in state in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol, the 31st person to receive that honor.

• Mr. McCain’s coffin arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday night, and is scheduled to enter the Capitol just before 11 a.m., where it will lie on the Lincoln Catafalque, the platform constructed to hold the coffin of Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

• Vice President Mike Pence will speak on behalf of the Trump administration at a Capitol ceremony honoring Mr. McCain, who did not want President Trump to attend his funeral remembrances. Then elected officials and the cabinet will have a chance to pay their respects before the Rotunda opens for public viewing starting at 1 p.m.

Here is what to expect as the series of tributes to Mr. McCain begin to unfold in Washington:

A bipartisan display at a time of sharp partisan division

Prominent Republicans and Democrats are flocking to the Capitol to pay their respects to Mr. McCain, highlighting both his own style of reaching across the political aisle and the brand of politics whose demise he lamented in the final months of his life.

In effect, the funeral observances pause the partisanship in the nation’s capital, which has been consumed with politically charged fights over Mr. Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett M. Kavanaugh; preoccupied with midterm congressional elections; and deeply divided over the president. Mr. Trump will be absent — by Mr. McCain’s own design — under the dome on Friday, and so will, for a brief time, the public signs of the rifts separating Republicans and Democrats.

While Republicans will have the only speaking roles in the ceremony — with Mr. Pence, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate majority leader, and Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, the speaker, scheduled to deliver remarks — Democratic leaders will also take part. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate minority leader, and Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority leader, will present wreaths as they pay their respects.

Members of the House and Senate past and present are also expected to convene in the Rotunda, along with cabinet officials and eventually members of the public, to celebrate Mr. McCain.

Mr. McCain painstakingly planned the observances of his death in the months preceding it, in part to underscore his message of unity over division, an implicit rebuke to the president, with whom he disagreed vehemently both politically and stylistically. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. eulogized Mr. McCain at his funeral in Phoenix on Thursday, and President Barack Obama will do so on Saturday at a memorial service at the National Cathedral, where President George W. Bush will also speak.

[From the Arizona State Capitol to Washington National Cathedral, John McCain will be honored in a series of memorial services this week. Here are vignettes of the ceremony and sentiment.]

Mr. Pence, who unlike Mr. Trump is known for staying on message when in the spotlight, is likely to keep the proceedings from veering into partisan territory.

But do not expect the pause to last too long; hearings on Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation are scheduled for next week.

After a Midnight Vote, a 19 Hour Trip

Anna Marie Farone had never followed Senator McCain’s political or professional career before 2017. She knew he ran against President Barack Obama, but did not cast a vote.

But Ms. Farone, 33, who suffers from a degenerative spine condition, avidly watched the debate over the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and celebrated when Mr. McCain made his dramatic thumbs-down vote on the Senate floor last summer, preserving the health care law.

It was that vote that led her to travel to Washington for the first time since the Clinton administration — a 19-hour trip from Indianapolis that included a missed Greyhound connection and a last-minute flight out of Pittsburgh — and be the first in line outside the Capitol to make it into the Rotunda to pay her respects.

“It was that one ACA vote,” said the freelancer and urban farmer, who arrived outside the Capitol Visitor Center Friday just six hours after reaching Washington. “He did side with the humans when it mattered.”

And while Ms. Farone disagreed with some of his other votes, including his support for last year’s Republican tax overhaul, she said she wanted to celebrate his willingness to work for bipartisan measures.

“He may not have always done it right, but he did it well” she said. “He was human.”

Behind her, dozens of people had started to gather in line to wait to pay their respects later this afternoon — sprawled out on beach towels and huddled under umbrellas that protected them from first the sweltering early morning heat and then scattered rain.

“Look at how willing everyone is to uplift him,” Ms. Farone said. “He’s not deceased as so much converted into a legend. A person of the ages.”

Politicians and celebrities gather to pay respect.

Mourners from across the country and across the political spectrum gathered in the Rotunda to remember Mr. McCain. The actor Warren Beatty, whom Mr. McCain chose as a pallbearer, and his wife, the actor Annette Benning, made their way through the basement of the Capitol Wednesday morning on their way to the ceremony.

Senator Pat Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, caught up with Chuck Robb, a former Democratic senator from Virginia, outside the Old Senate Chamber. A few steps away, Mr. McConnell, who will deliver remarks at the service, got a rundown of the choreography of the day from an aide.

Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential nominee and current candidate for Senate, was spotted downstairs as was Governor Rick Scott of Florida, who is running to join the Senate.

Military commanders and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as members of the House and Senate, began taking their places in the Rotunda, its doorways draped in black crepe, as Mr. Pence’s motorcade made its way to the Capitol.

The Lincoln Catafalque sat directly under the Capitol dome awaiting the arrival of Mr. McCain’s coffin. High above it, a camera had been fitted to capture an aerial shot of a historic day.

That time Pence and McCain bonded over spending cuts

Mr. Pence is a logical choice to speak at the Capitol ceremony for Mr. McCain given the president’s absence. As vice president, Mr. Pence also serves as president of the Senate.

But Mr. Pence also has a more personal connection to Mr. McCain, with whom he served when he was a member of the House. Together with a band of like-minded fiscal conservatives, they collaborated in 2005 in an effort to force Mr. Bush, the president at the time, to swallow steep spending cuts to pay for a $62 billion emergency funding bill enacted to repair the damage from Hurricane Katrina.

Mr. Pence was then the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservatives in the House that routinely railed against excessive spending. Mr. McCain was a seasoned senator who had made a trademark of his opposition to spending earmarks and what he called “pork” — line items lawmakers would insert in spending bills to fund strictly parochial projects.

Their styles could not have been more different. Mr. Pence was a fresh-faced religious conservative with the earnest delivery of a radio host, Mr. McCain the sometimes irascible and profane maverick who liked to forge bipartisan alliances. But their shared passion for fiscal restraint threw them together in a fight that cleaved their party.

The two would clash on other issues, most notably Mr. Trump’s effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which Mr. McCain opposed despite a personal appeal from Mr. Pence on the Senate floor. But the vice president has praised Mr. McCain effusively since his death, something Mr. Trump has refused to do.

John McCain: The Making of a Maverick

A look at the formative times and turmoil that shaped a historic American figure, with Carl Hulse, The Times’s chief Washington correspondent.

McCain loved to pick a fight. His colleagues will miss it.

Crabby. Cantankerous. Argumentative.

As members of Congress remember Mr. McCain’s long years of service, they hail his work ethic, his passion for public service — and the hot temper that almost all of them experienced.

Expect the tributes to Mr. McCain at the Capitol to include more than a few references to his curmudgeonly mien, his impish sense of humor and his seemingly constant readiness to spar with a fellow lawmaker, on or off the Senate floor.

Mr. Biden spoke about Mr. McCain’s zeal for a sharp debate during his eulogy on Thursday, recalling fondly “when you saw the sheer joy that crossed his face the moment he knew he was about to get up and take the stage on the Senate floor and start a fight. God, he loved it.”

H.R. McMaster, Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, said Mr. McCain “had a temper.” But, he added during an interview with MSNBC, “that temper was always directed at those who he felt maybe were obstructing, really, what America should be.”

It was a side of Mr. McCain that he displayed during his final speech on the Senate floor, just before he broke with Mr. Trump to oppose repealing the health care law. “We’re getting nothing done, my friends!” Mr. McCain said then, his voice growing louder. “We’re getting nothing done.”

Mr. McCain conceded in that speech that he had at times “let my passion rule my reason,” or “made it harder to find common ground because of something harsh I said to a colleague.”

This week, many of his former colleagues are remembering those tense moments as badges of honor.

An absent commander in chief

The ceremony honoring Mr. McCain will recognize him as a war hero and a staunch supporter of the military throughout his years in Congress. But the commander in chief will be conspicuously absent, creating a stark contrast between a capital in mourning and a president whose attentions are elsewhere.

The dissonance emerged on Thursday afternoon when live television coverage of Mr. McCain’s coffin being loaded onto a government plane in Arizona and flown to Washington mingled with a presidential tweet of a video reliving Mr. Trump’s victorious election night in November 2016. The video included clips of news commentators and public figures predicting that he would lose, and images of newspaper front pages the morning after he won.

It continued on Thursday night, when the arrival of Mr. McCain’s coffin at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington coincided with Mr. Trump’s campaign rally in Evansville, Ind.

Mr. Trump is scheduled to be in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday for a retirement savings event and a fund-raiser at a country club, far from the somber ceremony in the Capitol. That was Mr. McCain’s wish, and also evidence of how Mr. Trump has absented himself from the historic customs of the presidency.
