Ended up a lovely weather day here in central VA. This probably concludes my weather reporting career.

Our state is a target with the new Governor. Our governor is more patriotic than anyone in the current regime’s leadership positions, but we will be maligned as the enemy until this regime is over.
Worried about the escalation in state violence? Looking for concrete actions you can take to keep members of our community safe? Join us Saturday!

Authoritarianism escalates police violence, especially against targeted communities. How do we keep each other safe when we see police confronting someone?

Update: there’s weather this morning in the form of some frozen rain, I saw flake, thankfully the roads are treated. I don’t know how long this will last also, it’s 38°. I’m asking you to stay off the roads since I am on it. Have a great day.

Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

To play nice, I bet Spanberger lets him stay on faculty. (If he’s smart, he won’t do it.) This nimrod trashed his career to be president of UVa for about one Lawrence Eagleburger.*

I rarely look at the weather and apparently the cue to look at the weather is the roads are treated. I looked at app, and it said 2% chance of precipitation. The roads are treated. I’ll go back in my cave of not knowing the weather.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

An excellent article on resisting AI in schools:
“It took software developers in an METR study who used AI tools 19 percent more time to do their work. Nevertheless, because they expected to save time, they believed their work had been sped up by 20 percent.”

Folks, it’s bleak out there. But here is something awesome: the Community Support Fund paid $12,500 in bond to free two VAians from the horrors of detention this week. What is less awesome is that we have two new applications that we can’t fully fund because we are now out of money. Can you help?

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships
