Mountaineer John Brown Gun Club

This seems normal here sadly. The smaller county papers have this type of bs regularly.

Might not want to make the white nationalist haven that is Morgan County that destination, stay safe!

Stay at the lodge, the county police there are currently under investigation for racism/violence and a prominent white nationalist group dominates the nearby town Berkeley Springs. It's not uncommon for people like Nick Fuentes and PBsto be visiting the white nationalist and their castle there.

I just finished reading Muriel Rukeyser's The Book of the Dead yesterday afternoon, a long poem cycle about poor West Virginia miners dying of silicosis they weren't adequately warned or protected against — a dry drill three times as fast as a wet drill, etc. That was in 1931.

Western or West Virginia? John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" Sparks Debate In his 1971 song, "Country Roads,", John Denver croons an ode to those winding roads that lead you back home. But is he talking about West Virginia or Western Virginia? The debate continues.

Fun fact (only to me), Denver was likely singing about Virginia. www.southernliving.com/culture/john....

Seems like a lot of bad apples in that drama.

Bet lots of those people decrying X's shift to fascism will pay a few bucks to stay there if he actually requires it.

A meme showing nine construction workers standing around watching one worker dig a hole. The idle people are labeled "Gordon Gee", "Board of Directors", and "RPK Contractors". The one working worker is labeled "WVU Faculty". Bottom text reads "Due to cutbacks, we'll be eliminating our faculty positions."

Remember, faculty and staff make WVU run. Therefore, faculty and staff should run WVU.

Everybody hyped for post-capitalism please keep in mind YOU can have post-theism right now. Leave your religion dealer, refuse the opium of the masses.

Lots of people treat politics like a sport, a high brow game of 3d chess or tight tennis match.

For most of us though it's fox hunting and we're the fox.

Building 7 conspiracy theory

What a slap in the face it must be for first responders and people who lost loved ones to see the top trending on X today is building 7 BS.

@lacountyjbgc.bsky.social We recently hiked to the gravesite of John Brown’s son, Owen. He was a Harper’s Valley raider who was as fierce an abolitionist as his father. He lived on the run with the equivalent of almost a $1,000,000 bounty on his head before finding refuge in Altadena, CA

A right-wing sheriffs group that challenges federal law is gaining acceptance around the country A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.

ACAB, and Constitutional Sheriffs especially.

More weird data for you: once covid shutdowns started, I began scraping the list of West Virginia state & county government meetings that the state posted online. I now have 8,000 of them covering 2.5 years:

West Virginians, trapped in the clutches of economic hardship, find themselves mercilessly shackled to a state most can ill afford to abandon, left to suffer the full weight of the WVU administration’s harrowing decisions. We will learn only subjects aligned with the preferences of the rich, driven by their financial motivations. We will work for the oligarchs for the rest of our lives, just like our parents and our grandparents did for the global coal industry. We will continue to amass inconceivable riches for the nation’s privileged elite until our last breath, and we will find our resting place in unadorned cardboard coffins beneath West Virginia soil.

Damn. https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/08/west-virginia-university-cuts-programs.html

Slashing Its Budget, West Virginia University Asks, What Is Essential? The state’s flagship school will no longer teach world languages or creative writing — a sign, its president says, of the future at many public universities.

The real story, a buried lede: "Higher education funding in West Virginia has dropped by about 24 percent, or $146 million, over the past decade"

Skeet insisting GA’s Governor can’t grant pardons.

Oddly enough, legal experts seem uniquely unprepared for what the next 18 months are going to look like in this country. Laws are fake, dude. Trump isn’t going down without violence.
