As I always say!

Literal angels!

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Congratulations!!!

Just approved time entry, there’s no stopping me now! #actingchair

I call it “reading.”

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]

Back when we had shame in the world, you wouldn't see a President fight so hard to starve Americans.

Building Obscured by Trees and Vines at Fremont & Lafayette I ride my bike all the time, but the most consistent riding I do is my commute. I ride the same way, day after day, for years. In New Orleans I rode between the Garden District and the Tremé so man…

Blush! Thanks, friend! Trying to get back to words again. ❤️

Aw shucks!

Fall Tree Against a Backdrop of Blue Skies and Construction at Bank & Caroline I had the time, energy, and weather for a bike ride today, and wow, it had been a long time since I got to do that. I started with a quick ride down the hill to meet friends for brunch, in celebrat…

In which I check out "Perkins Square," think about housing prices and development and displacement, and then ride over to Patterson Park, Canton Waterfront Park, and then north until North, flying down the bus/bike lane all the way home. whatisawridingmybikearoundtoday.com/2025/11/02/f...

wait what

Holy - and I don’t say this lightly - guacamole.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Agreed. And also the tote bag.

WHAT IF???

Whoa what if you came to @joshuaclarkdavis.bsky.social’s book talk at @redemmas.org next Thursday? withfriends.co/event/233832...

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Just bananas.

Lynx's Napheesa Collier blasts WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert: 'We have the worst leadership in the world' The Lynx star went scorched earth on the WNBA commish in her exit interview

"The league believes it succeeds despite its players, not because of them."

Switch "players" for "workers" and "the league" for "the library" or "the coffee shop" or "the hospital"or "the school" and Napheesa Collier speaks for all of us.

Department of State v @StateDept Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence. .. . We will revoke Petro's visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions. Last edited 8:07 PM • Sep 26, 2025 • 6.2M Views

In the dark dark tragicomedy of the second Trump term, the State Department described a call to not kill people incendiary, reckless, and inciting violent.

Violence is not violence, only nonviolence is violence.

The president is boasting about how he has shut down boating and fishing in the Caribbean because everyone is afraid that he’ll murder them.

Remember this when you come at us with vote Newsome no matter what because no

Anybody else thinking about Melissa Hortman and her husband right now?

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.
