As a UVA Alum who also has worked in Virginia politics, this is somewhat surreal all the worlds are combining Youngkin has been stacking the Board of Visitors and now that Jim Ryan is out. They’ll make a move for a right wing sympathetic President. This is why you do not obey in advance..

Today I watched a man write on a board where he drew his letter s from the bottom every time. Like a monster. And now this.

I always do 4-1-3-5-2-4, but I got curious so did all the others. Some of them were very awkward and took a lot of concentration to make sure I was drawing the correct lines first! Some of the messiness is from feeling confident and drawing fast, and some of it is from it being very awkward to draw.

I need to understand why I should be mad about SCOTUS allowing states to require age verification on smut sites. I have to put in a date when I check out events at brewery down the street and I just put in a random date. Maybe the ruling is allowing more restrictions than that?

Litmus Tests are good, actually, and "Do you support court reform" is an example of a particularly good one. "Keep voting Blue and eventually we will get the courts back, best case scenario, could be as soon as 30-40 years from now" is not a plan. The people who said it was lied to you.

Sotomayor: Trump knew his birthright citizenship order was unconstitutional, so he went after the universal injunctions. "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

It will never cease to amaze me that I pick up my phone to read your unhinged thoughts and post the dumbest things I can think of and then lead a department of 15 people doing serious things.

The true difference between pro and college football is the entertainment level of terrible games. Bad NFL games are boring slogs that make you want to take your own life while a bad college football game is performance art or high comedy. It ain't called the Fun Belt for nothing.

Yes, yes, yes. Let this be the beginning of the end of the horrible weaponization of the charge of "antisemitism" against anyone who supports Palestenian exisitence or rights or dares to question the current Israeli government's war crimes in Gaza.

White autistics! Our time is here! It’s time to start asking questions if one of our white peers starts any racist nonsense. Or if it seems even a little shady. “What does that word mean?” “Why would you say that?” “I don’t understand your joke. Can you explain why it’s funny?”

If Mamdani were to pull this out, what’s the over-under line for how much outside SuperPac money comes in to the general to try to stop him? $100 mil? $200?
