I don’t think he wrote it. I think it was S Miller.

Def Miller.

I came here to say this. ⬆️

They could say it’s unconstitutional. But the US Supreme Court has already said intentional political gerrymandering is just fine, so not sure what VA Supreme Court can say.

Remember that lightly populated areas report first, and the fact that it’s this close this early in the count means it’s a 50/50 split OUTSIDE the DC metro area.

Yes wins, based on this count at this time.

Tower Records. Tower Books too, but really miss Tower Records & Music hangout dates, music listening (CDs). Oh, and CBGBs. I did not get to experience it, should have made the effort in the 1990s.

Sacramento needs to be talking about this. @sacbee.com

Oh and the biggest potty mouth? Public Relations Gal. Man, reading that dialogue would make a sailor blush. The movie didn’t do it justice.

(Reading during the pandemic gave the aloneness an extra edge. The disco and old sitcoms too.)

Definite emotional investment, particularly with an out loud re-read during the pandemic as family entertainment. One note: the first line in the book is the F-bomb. This fact came to light when I shared it with a non-family middle schooler. They were hooked tho I thought I might hear from parents.

California political consultant for Dems. Been around a while.

Here’s a fuller picture of what I described. bsky.app/profile/davi...

I don’t think the timing is about the GOP. I think it’s about Dems who knew took action before this got way out of hand.

There is a political consultant for the Dems who has a list of 23 women who have experienced questionable circumstances with the guy. Posts from weeks ago from the consultant indicate that he had assumed the Dem party would intervene. They didn’t.

A little-known respiratory virus, human metapneumovirus, surging in Northern California An infectious diseases expert shares what you need to know about human metapneumovirus (HMPV), including symptoms, prevention and who is most at risk for serious illness.

In NorCal there is a bug going around that’s like RSV. Very high wastewater levels. This is from a month ago - it’s only gotten worse. health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...

I’m not angry at the victims of this behavior. They did quietly divulge to the internal party folks, or to others - enough that a consultant compiled a list of 23 people to talk to further. That’s almost two dozen! bsky.app/profile/davi...

If we are talking about the CA governor race, there are questions about Dem party leadership and their ability to either vet their own people, or what they care about in their candidates. He came out of the CA Dem convention with flying colors (comparatively).

Here’s one. www.abc10.com/article/news...

Huh. Kids didn’t like AI for tutoring. Go figure.

i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

Newly Obtained Video of Minneapolis Shooting Undermines ICE Account Prosecutors did not watch video of the nonfatal shooting until weeks after charging the wounded man, an official said.

Remember that time when ICE shot a man as he fled into his home and then claimed he beat an agent with a snowshovel? And we were all like "you're lying"?

They were lying

Well this sucks.

This is spot on in such a frightening way.

Judge Orders Afroman To Pay Half Of Court Costs In Defamation Trial – Despite The Fact That He Won | Whiskey Riff Oh I can't wait to hear the song about this. By now everybody's probably heard about the trial between Afroman and members of the sheriff's department in Adams County, Ohio, who sued the "Because I Go...

I’m hearing that my post needs an amendment. The judge appears to have taken sides and is making Afroman pay half the court fees. Not typical. It doesn’t amount to more than a few hundred dollars, but that’s not the point. www.whiskeyriff.com/2026/03/23/j...

How the holy hell did THIS happen?? In a HEADLINE?

I can be the queen of typos. I have had some absurd things appear in print. This one …? I would volunteer to quit with this one.

Both are pretty hilarious. Or sad. Depends on POV about the NYT and the state of journalism in general.

Californians have access to 430 audio plays from @latheatreworks.bsky.social through their libraries and public schools.

Whoa. Recommend reading article in its entirety.

Ah yes Swedish not Swiss - thank you for the correction.

Yes and no. Yes it was created later by the Swiss central bank. But it is announced and administered with the other Nobel prizes, and has the same aim as the other five, which is to recognize the positive impact on humanity.
