I was on the Michigan website a few weeks ago and noticed they use the power M as their academic branding which felt odd and now we’re joining that trend I guess. Was surprised to see the old well logo had only been used for 22 years. Would like to verify that.

the latest in the social media postings of Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas:

Update: The precinct with the most students in Blacksburg gave Gov-Elect Spanberger 91% of the vote and flipped the local House of Delegates seat from red to blue. Thank you

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

UNC absolutely fell down on the job letting CU grab the carolina.edu domain name. In fact, I advised them years ago to defensively register it to keep it from SOUTH Carolina before UC even existed in name. Oh well.

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.

“.. There were no counties or cities (as of writing) that moved right relative to four years ago. On average, they instead moved 13 points to the left.”

Last night in Brooklyn the vibes were so good I saw a DJ play "Macarena" as a heat check and the crowd's response was like...fuck it, we'll make it work.

a lot of people are quoting this and saying things like “standing up for trans rights is a winning political strategy” and while I agree with this, win or lose standing up for trans rights is important - no, vital - because it’s the right thing to do.
