Just finished a visit with one of my clients and I’m so depressed.

Seniors are suffering while politicians play pass the funding game with tax payer money.

THE SENIORS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE SUFFERING WHILE POLITICIANS PLAY BASEBALL WITH TAXPAYER MONEY.

Dems talking about flipping seats in β€˜26 and β€˜28 better have a clear plan for how they’re going to rebuild.
I’m not talking about β€œhope and change.”

I’m talking what is the timeline for codifying Roe, passing ERA, reinstating VRA, restoring DOJ, rebuilding DOE. Anything less is simply unserious.

Years ago I remember a colleague lamenting the challenge of ever increasing revenue for education because constitutionally, Colorado has to have a statewide vote on any initiative to raise income tax. This is incredible work that’s a long time coming.

Zohran quoting Mario Cuomo while bidding adieu to Andrew is such a fantastically nerdy flex... I’m so ready for the era of millennial governance

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

And a reminder that Georgia just HANDILY flipped two statewide seats that haven’t held public elections in FIVE YEARS - which we hope signals potential break from the monopolization of our utilities services.

Citing Trump Order on β€œBiological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Atlanta Public Schools moves forward with plan to close, repurpose 16 schools and realign neighborhoods Atlanta Public Schools has released its final plan for a massive restructuring that could reshape neighborhoods across the city.

When a city (Atlanta) where land values have skyrocketed since 2012engages in "faux austerity" & moves to close schools, which will harm mostly Black families.

Meanwhile, city moves to extend TIFs that will divert billions away from schools & local services & they frame it as "reducing inequality"

When he's finally gone, there is going to be this flood of books and tell all interviews from Republicans about how hard it was to be a Republican in Washington during this time and I am going to be galatically furious about it.

We have a $14B surplus… We aren’t bailing out Washington, we’re bailing out Georgians. 1 in 8 Georgians are on SNAP. ATL is the world’s busiest airport. We have some of the lowest literacy rates in the country. If this isn’t a rainy day, what is?

Screenshot of the QuickTime Player app on Mac, circa 2002. It’s from Apple’s peak glossy era. The main frame of the player looks like brushed metal. The top 2/3 of the window is the video player frame, currently showing the QuickTime logo (a glossy blue capital letter Q). Beneath that is a progress bar for the video. Below that are the playback and volume controls, all of which are designed to look like water drops on the metal surface with icons inside.

If a music streaming platform found a way to offer a one-time download/transfer of all playlists and follow data from Spotify, ala the great migration from GoodReads to StoryGraph, I suspect they’d see a significant influx of users pretty quickly.

It is October 2025 and I am once again BEGGING the Governors Office of Scholastic Achievement and the GA Dept of Ed to standardize their data practices.

Why do some headers have periods and others have underscores?

Why are school IDs different lengths?

WHY DOESNT ENROLLMENT MATCH?
