Op! Friends, a heads up, I was offline from (January ) 2020-2024. (off instagram for longer and fb? HA!) like not even a peek, so I may be behind on some pop culture-y things. I focused up internally during that time. Wanted to “quiet the room” a bit.

I feel like Youngkin has been a lot Trumpier and more destructive to this state than people realize and this is kind of the first step to our Finding Out
Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end
I'll do a thread but here's the full letter provided by the chronicle

Mitch McConnell (with help from John Thune) SNUCK legislation into the "clean" CR on behalf of BIG ALCOHOL, which will effectively kill the hemp industry in America. Hemp Farmers will be devastated along w/thousands of small businesses, staggering job losses will pile up just before Holiday Season.
Government funding bill includes ban on hemp products.
Part of the legislation that ended the federal government shutdown could also mean the demise of the hemp industry. News4 spoke with a Maryland hemp farmer about the potential impact. www.nbcwashington.com/video/news/g...

ABBA made hits, but ABBA ain’t Grace Jones, bubba. Marvel didn’t want two bad bitches on the same set and that only came to their detriment. Prolly the reason Spider-Man ended up at Sony and they were producing Muppet Baby and GI Joe cartoons.
The Dazzler we got looks like she came from ABBA.

To stay permanently refugees have to lean the language and establish a long-term career path, and they have to do this on the basis of rolling two-year residence permits. But who is going to invest in you as a worker if you might soon get kicked out?
The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like?
Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting ‘ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values
