Virginian turned Washingtonian turned Californian come full circle to Virginian again. Getting reacquainted with southern accents and being called ma'am a lot.

Not strong enough but at least the right framing instead of "BOV votes to support" which is what I've seen in other headlines.

I actually missed them in my 28 years on the West Coast. They were a very rare treat out there.

Most people don't have side effects at all or if they do have them they're mild and resolve after the body adjusts. The horror stories are what people hear about, not the "meh, mostly fine" stories.

Oof yeah I had that post-shot day this week even though I've been on this dose for a while. Was looking for the truck that ran me over.

Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.

Men: What a scary time for men this is.

Once again, folks, when @ichotiner.bsky.social calls you for an interview, just say no. Forfeit the match so you don't have to take the L in such a humiliating way.

Yet November 2025 is when I finally get COVID after almost 6 years of escaping it! Go figure!

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesnβ€˜t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

I will add one last thought. Many of the responses from Democratic lawmakers and liberal commentators (even the good ones) contain some ambivalence - some hope that perhaps the fall of the Iranian regime, even at the hands of Donald Trump, will be for the best. I understand why. I am the son of an Iranian immigrant. Ultimately I want freedom, democracy, and dignity for the Iranian people. The problem is that I've seen the American government promise all of those things a hundred times, and I've never seen them deliver it once.

One of the main reasons I don't use AI is that you have to fact-check every single thing it gives you and by the time I do that, I could have just done the research myself.

One thing about Jamelle is that he absolutely drives a lot of his peers crazy because he’s better at his job than they are at theirs. I think the reasons for that are not hard to figure out.

I took a really interesting OLLI class last year about the efforts to save the surviving Rosenwald schools in VA, taught by Jody Lahendro. Last day of the class was a field trip to St. John School where we got to meet Becky Kinney, the force of nature behind its restoration. Fascinating history!

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

This is a particular kind of anti-fatness that shows up on the left: the "hold corporations accountable for creating fat people" stuff.

Yes absolutely, corporate accountability across the board, within & beyond food industries. Just stop mobilizing animus against fat people to make your point.

If you are not already a Costco member, your budget will thank you for joining so you can get them there.
