I'm sure that there would have been worse choices to host the World Cup than the US, but few come to mind. bsky.app/profile/blad...

Weight him down in chains

Right now - and every June 6th at 644pm - the Bedford Courthouse bell tolls 20 times, once for each of the Bedford Boys who died on D-Day in order to defeat fascism and win WWII. Let us never forget the cause for which they fought and the ultimate sacrifice they gave.

I love this.

FYI, If you get an email from the prosecutor in Madison, IN, it might be spam, their email has apparently been hacked.

this is the kind of merit that pete hegseth has brought to the department of defense

Bill Pulte as acting DNI??? You have got to be kidding me.

If you’ve been thinking about giving a donation to a food bank, this is an awesome time of year to do it! When kids are out of school for the summer, those who rely on schools for meals, often find themselves without enough food for the entire family.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some spend their lives fighting greedy corporations poisoning communities for profit. If Erin Brockovich is sounding the alarm about data centers, people should start paying attention. Her website to track data centers will be a HUGE help. SPREAD THE WORD!

5th Street Wawa is $4.56 for regular unleaded this morning. I realize it is a holiday weekend but still…

This is atrocious. Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, now serving as Acting Attorney General of the United States, signed a one-page document in which the United States government “RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES” Donald Trump, his sons, his businesses,

So Mark Cuban went from “everyone stock up because things are going to get really bad” to “Whelp time to shake hands with the guy who made everything really bad” within 12 months.

My kid ran out of the door to dash to the bus stop and the school bus driver saw her and stopped in front of our house to pick her up! 😂

🔥 @redstateupdate.bsky.social (MURFREESBORO): “The Supreme Court said there’s no racism anymore — then every state immediately started figuring out the most racist way to keep Black people from voting… things were real racist and bad, then Trump somehow made them worse.”

Solidarity to all the parents of high schoolers who are doing AP testing this week and next week. #lawdhavemercy #ineedadrink

Wawa was $4.17 yesterday evening, today it is $4.39. 😳

Took my daughter to the Bruno Mars concert last night, he did not disappoint! However, it will probably take me a week to recover from a Sunday night concert that ends at 10:45pm in Maryland!!

Cville peeps, Wawa in town is 4.17 today but if you are driving north it is 3.93 in Ruckersville.

I’m not sure how Front Royal got chosen for a royal visit, but as someone who has spent a lot of time there, I was happy to see this!

5th Street gas prices were $3.97 for regular yesterday, today they are $4.19.

The pollen is even collecting on my tires! 🤧 #springtimeinvirginia

Any Cville peeps willing to give a ballpark of what they pay for health insurance? We’ve lost our subsidy for the marketplace, so I’m looking at possibly getting a different job for insurance, but not sure what I should expect to pay these days.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

A lot of coverage is framing the gerrymandering referendum as a check on Trump's "agenda" or "policies" which is true, of course, but the basic issue is that Democrats are trying to limit the power of an authoritarian and his party. When it's framed that way "hardball" seems quite appropriate.

Well this isn’t confusing at all… 🤨

Ok Cville, so what is the DripBar and why would the FDA have a search warrant?? I’m starting to think I missed out on something good here in town…. 😄

brb, gotta go plan my funeral music now…

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

wut

Cville peeps - heads up on 20 towards town, police pursuit currently happening.

Samuel L. Jackson delivered it better… and at least he knew it was fiction. Even MAGA clocked Pete Hegseth’s bullshit. Next time, he should read this: “They claim to know God, but by their actions, they deny him.” — Epistle to Titus 1:16

Holding a "STATE" fair in Washington, DC a cruel, tasteless joke

Imagine the fatigue of having to treat Trump’s ramblings like profound wisdom every single day.

😄

Imagine having the audacity to lecture the Pope about matters of theology.

tonight we’re gonna post like it’s 1889

1st day post vacation: Woke up this morning and was expected to start my normal routine without Cuban coffee. Zero stars, do not recommend.

Just got home from a spring break trip and had to reset all my regular week alarms…kind of kills the vacation buzz. 😩

Rural Virginia sure has a lot of the “vote no on April 21” and “stop the steal on April 21” signs.

my god, this administration always finds a way to be cruel.

Not sad that I will be out of town…

I hope all the Trump supporters who love their “Christian” President felt blessed by his Easter post.

I think today is setting the record for most cowboy boots in Charlottesville.

In other news, gas on 5th street went from 3.99 to 4.19 yesterday, so that is fun.

Luke Combs bringing 60+k of his friends to Charlottesville on Easter weekend is a choice I could have lived without. 😩

Why is the sky turning pink at 12:45 in the morning?

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Finding my allergy medicine sitting next to my almost full cup of coffee explains so much about my day so far.

Kids bus has a current ETA of 2AM…I guess I will drink some coffee… 😴 How many of these kids will be going to school in the morning…
