We’re on the next gen Acela and we used upgrade passes to get first class.

First thing I saw when getting on the train: 4 people fixing the bathroom, as the toilet isn’t flushing 😅

Can an attorney or someone in law enforcement explain to me how “a ticket while on an electric bike or scooter will go on your driving record, just like with a car” when you don’t have to have a license to ride a bicycle or scooter?

This is the second (that I’m aware of) issue with a generic vyvanse in the last two months. I don’t remember there being this many issues before the patent expired!

Luckily they’ve been fairly mild, as far as I’m aware, but overall it’s a little frustrating.

The outdated Tonsler location showing up places might be a VPAP, not state elections department, issue.

Here’s the info for the address of an undeveloped property owned by habitat in the tonsler now Buford/CMS area, and what the state website says for polling location versus VPAP:

Someone needs to explain the time change to my cat. He thinks it’s time for lunch already 🥲

I think if you have a dream where you’re back in school you should get a free pass from work the next day.

You could change everything after “how Virginia does” and this could apply to a lot of things.

Someone with uva football must’ve heard me mocking them earlier this year

(But also how is a team that has almost lost to 3 unranked teams ranked 15?!)

Why are “get out the vote” efforts so creepy? There were the vaguely threatening sounding postcards last year, now I’ve gotten two of these texts this year.

I can’t see Andrew cuomo without thinking about these photos of him from 2020 www.vice.com/en/article/w...

Outlines under the Governor's shirt are causing a frenzy online. But does the internet's Pandemic Daddy really have pierced nipples?

Local news is definitely dying/dead because I haven’t seen any reporting on the draft PBR shortage in Charlottesville. Ten years ago my colleagues would’ve been on that! No happy meals at millers ☹️

I must meet Lois Beckett one day.

It’s called ADHD, and past instances of people speaking about specifically the airport.

There are really actually only a few gaps in this currently (once you get out of the city).

Green are shared use paths, blue are bike lanes, red is approved shared use paths (I added the red).

You shouldn’t be allowed to have a”Virginia is for lovers” bumper sticker on your car if you don’t give pedestrians the right of way, and you proceed to mock them when you illegally don’t stop.

I’m glad Joe flacco’s kids are learning all about what it’s like to be a Browns fan. What happened is correct.

Wow look at all these students on the hill who just witnessed history!

Living in Charlottesville is like Groundhog Day except everything repeats every 5-10 years.
Counterpoint: it's not actually dying at all.

Today I saw Al Roker at the Amtrak lounge in Moynihan and I definitely looked at him like this because I could not process seeing him in person

I sort of hated writing anniversary stories of any kind when I worked in news, but it feels very bizarre that there is one single local Aug. 12 anniversary story today and it’s just a preview to a book discussion.
