Step into the world of The Serrulata Saga...

In the distant future, the United States is long gone, the Realm stands in its place, and one peasant woman will become the catalyst for a revolution.

A speculative sci-fantasy adventure you won’t want to miss!

everything is terrible and i cry a lot now but Bill Belichick crashing and burning as a college football coach has given me so much joy

Bill Belichick had a dream. A dream of unsettling everyone by being a huge asshole and letting his uncomfortably young girlfriend assert control over the football program, and now it's ruined. I hope you're all happy with yourselves.

Folks who tell you that it’s okay to temporarily sacrifice a marginalized group in order to win

Do not care about the marginalized group

Virginia will always be home. It’s where I went to school, where I met my husband, and where we’re raising our three daughters in Virginia public schools.

I love this Commonwealth — and as Governor, I’ll work tirelessly to lower costs and make life easier for Virginia families.

engrossing and terrifying, i would call this a must-read.

everyone should know and understand what the GWOT has cost and is costing...

i'm only halfway through this, but highly recommend

So cool! Brennan Gilmore captured this photo of Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) on Saturday about 10 miles east of Charlottesville.

This comet might become visible to the naked eye later this month.
