Tour de force editorial on why Spanberger is correct to claim that as currently constituted the BOV cannot legally choose the next president. dailyprogress.com/opinion/colu...

I hate that I can't Google a word and quickly find out the definition because there are 500 tech startups who've chosen that word as their stupid name

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

Umm...this all sounds definitely conniving and unethical but also probably illegal. I really hope the new state admin comes in hot here - we clearly can't rely on federal law to either protect us or enforce consequens. We need state law to step up.

@abigailspanberger.com I've only read half of this so far, but it is already obvious that firing and removing Rector Sheridan, Vice-Rector Wilkinson, & Paul Manning (among others) should be top priority come January.

@kaine.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Explain how this series of events makes any f#@king sense: - Election: Dems win big! Pressure is on Republicans. - Sellout everyone, lose all leverage, destroy credibility, in exchange for nothing. - Release emails.

Here's an idea, Hunger Games, but with billionaires.

@apnews.com This is how you write a headline about what Trump says while also saying whatever he says is bullshit.

These ridiculous dems (lookin' at you @kaine.senate.gov) think they can avoid the wrath of voters by not ruining people's Thanksgiving. But guess what - flights are still going to get cancelled and now everyone's Holiday budget will have to go toward health care premiums so guess what?

What a disgrace @kaine.senate.gov. We got to feel good for all of 5 minutes before you all went back to being stupid, spineless, and weak as usual. Back to feeling utter disappointment.

The cats have me locked in. This is where I'll be the rest of the night I guess.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social HOLD THE LINE - Do not cave!

I just hope Drake can make some room for David Harbour in the grave marked "brutally taken down via album".

Specifically, the ICE agents THEMSELVES should have to clean the toilets. They can't just hire it out. Get in there with the toilet brush, bub.

Why can't we have nice things? Because Citizens United, that's why.

Active attacker alert at UVA cental grounds. Stay safe.

Unlike anyone at Mar-a-lago I bet, I just finished rereading the Great Gatsby. And despite Jay Gatsby being just slightly less contemptible than the other main characters, I still find his funeral one of the saddest things ever written in American lit.

Way more excited for this release than anything Swift related and it did not disappoint.

If WAHS is going to allow guest speakers during lunch, and allow them to lure students in with free pizza and prizes, then I think it is important to offer alternatives: gofund.me/4b58afd4d

Is the Azure outage right on the heels of the AWS outage a coincidence or...

Sexy Virginia Food Safety Regulations.

Umm...this seems very bad.

Mahoney's letter just shows how little he cares about the students, faculty, and staff. He happy to toss some folks under the bus if it means UVA doesn't have to pay any money.

Hey @apnews.com no mention of Trump's video dumping s&$t on the America people from a King Trump fighter jet?

Cville T-Rex says No Kings, No Dictators.

Participated in one of the UVA presidential search committee staff listening sessions and was struck by the lack of male participation. Aside from the facilitator there were 0 men and about 20 women*.

No. Leaving twitter was absolutely correct. (The wisdom of coming to bsky as an alternative is a separate question.) And the blame falls squarely on Elon Musk, not the Left.

Deadly weekend in Mississippi and South Carolina, but pretty sure they won't be sending the National Guard to those states.

It seems clear to me that the critical mistake of Spillman was getting angry and jumping on facebook instead of getting angry and using the levers of power to which she has access as a member of the board.

Today in cville I went to the Tool Library, Beer Run, Ace Biscuit, Birds Unlimited, Wegmans. Got home, planted some fall onions, cleaned up the garden, cut my hair, cut a mat out of my cat's hair and now I guess I'm done.

Your editor in chief, everybody. Enjoy the comments on this thread.

Honestly, if you are a federal worker and you weren't already looking for other work, since November even, but definitely since January, that is just poor planning.

A little too polite imo - no need to say you respectfully decline when you can just decline. But please UVA, follow suit! orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

I'm surprised Trump didn't announce an all out offensive against escalators today.

Would've been really fun if they arrested both of them for war crimes at this event. Oh well, maybe next time.

Guesses on the new 'E' in UVA Health's ASPIRE values? Existential? Enigmatic? Whatever it is will be just as disposable as Equity so what difference does it make?

I wish we had a fraction of the energy from Scott Stadium going toward fighting authoritarianism. Let me know when that's the crowd chasing after Miller and Hegseth.

So much good stuff in this episode and particularly to be reminded that when big institutions fight back against this administration, Trump and his goons often just crumble. They suck at law, they suck at being smart and reasoned. If their initial bullying doesn't work they have nothing.

I put out a new rug and am now watching my 2 cats fight over who gets to lay on the rug. (There is room for at least 15 cats on the rug.)

Here's the good news: Trump's plan only works if we are scared They lack the resources to go after everyone. They need us to be so afraid we'll be next that we toe the line. Sit down. Shut up Do not sit down. Do not shut up. The more we stand and shout, the safer we all are

Can RFK Jr. prove that the sound of his voice doesn't cause autism?

Fuck Mitch McConnell each and every day.

We had a wonderful time today at #CvillePride. Thanks to all who stopped by our table and to our wonderful UUCville volunteers #LoveinAction

Cville Pride Fest today! My choir will be singing at the entrance around 3:00. Come on by!

This is essentially everything. If the foundation of any law is built on unequal and arbritrary implementation than it's a bad fucking law!
