Hey central Virginia, regarding weekend snow:

Prelimiarily I think 6-10" across all of central Virginia from Saturday PM thru Sunday is realistic. Could more fall? Absolutely. I'll fine-tune amounts in the days ahead.

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.

A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.

Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Doesn’t everyone do this
