Let's just fix the Amendment we have. We have fair districts now. How we got them under this current amendment is jacked up.

Why not just work at improving the redistricting commission? Make it Non-Partisan and get the legislators out of it. The Truth is it was a trainwreck, but the fail safe of the Courts worked (this time) and our current districts are fair and not Gerrymandered.

Finally, a united nation.

if you can't fact check nonsense get the fuck out from in front of a camera

The only thing keeping me on that hellscape is my Nuggets list. If you guys would leave for bluesky it would be the first domino. Others would follow.

Well somebody has to do it. At a minimum he's good for some zingers. DNC dollars to fight for this seat are going to be very difficult to come by.

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

“ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows”

“The average person who buys Affordable Care Act insurance will be paying 75% more for their premium, according to the analysis from KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.”

I kind of think a solar farm on a conservation easement would constitute "development". But yes, you have nailed it when it comes to the real cash crop of rural Albemarle.

Define "Agriculture" as it applies to this ordinance? Is timber agriculture? Is grass agriculture? Because apart from grapes, apples and some "market gardeners" their really isn't "crop land" in Albemarle.

It will never make it to the discovery phase

I spent the last 4 days in Calgary Canada, which is a beautiful modern city that is ridiculously multicultural (and never bothered to think that was a big deal). There is no underlying tension or negative stereotype that people are predisposed with. They don't care, they just live and let live.

Inside the Conservative Campaign That Took Down a University President

Not sure how I got this without a paywall, but yes, my suspicions about Trump administration coordination and association with the Jefferson council are only stronger now. Next step will be going after staff tied to former DEI positions. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/u...

Letters from DOJ reveal threats to U.Va. over admissions policies, Ryan’s leadership “Time is running short, and the Department’s patience is wearing thin,” the final letter read

It's very easy to read this and imagine Bert Ellis dictating what should go into the DOJs letters to Jim Ryan. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

How Much Energy Does AI Use? The People Who Know Aren’t Saying A growing body of research attempts to put a number on energy use and AI—even as the companies behind the most popular models keep their carbon emissions a secret.

@katrinacallsen.com Here is the legislation that I want. Let's mandate both energy usage and water usage reporting for all Data centers in Virginia (Quarterly). We need to know environmental impact & grid impact www.wired.com/story/ai-car...

Exactly, and expect the most radical replacement possible.

All the things Ryan says would happen to everyone else if he stayed...they are likely going to happen anyway.

That's going to happen anyway...How do people not see this?

Be well sir. President Cuchinelli is going to need your support!

He knows they are going to do all those things anyway? Right? His "noble sacrifice" to save everyone else isn't going to matter, because they will do it anyway...

She's screaming at the screen like she's on a stump speech. My 16 to: Uhh, why is she doing that?

Her horrible TV commercials

All I know is that's the woman that chose to yell at me on a TV commercial, and that was an interesting choice...

What's new. Quite a bit actually.

I admit, I was swayed to vote for Shannon Taylor for Virginia AG because @jonesjay.bsky.social had never "prosecuted" a case. But, "prosecuting" criminals isn't everything for an AG. He didn't take an obscene amount of $ from Dominion & he's been an attorney in the AGs office. I voted for Jay Jones.

I think it's closer to 65% missed by GSC

I think you aren't giving the tigers enough credit, but this is a solid list

What I've been listening to lately

Sheriff Jenkins took bribes to make businessmen his fake deputies. Pardoning him is a deep betrayal to Virginia and should be condemned across the Commonwealth.

They need that money saved for stock buybacks
