Afaict Nobel had the "I'm an insanely rich man, I'll buy myself out of this problem" affliction, with all the garbage that's really easy to imagine right now...

Looks like the Commonwealth of Virginia isn't having any of this 'academic compact'.

Also, hats off to the Cavalier Daily for leading with a graphic of the 'sic semper tyrannis' flag...

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Bonus flowering weed: I wasn't kidding when I said sometimes the low smartweed absolutely blankets the park lawn in magenta
Green and pink swirled together in a grassy park by a lake When you come to a pink patch and kneel down you see untold thousands of little magenta inflorescences peeking up above the grass line... blending into a perfect carpet in the distance

Flowering weed in the woods = blue stem goldenrod, Solidago caesia (I'm like 90% sure).
