Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

Move over, Richmond REAL! The new Richmond Civilian Review Board logo is the worst branding attempt ever made.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

$75mil spent on TV ads this cycle for one person to get a job: Gov. Of Virginia. It's easy to lose sight of how big these numbers are. The median income in VA is $45k/y. If a working life is 50 years, a median Virginian would need to work over 33 lifetimes (1650 working yrs) to make $75mil gross.

This is SO ridiculous. Wanna see 💰 💰 💰 go 💨 for Dems in swing districts who worked for years to make it possible to win only to have leadership throw gasoline on the fire of their opponents’ campaigns the week before the election? 👇🏻 this is how you know they don’t care about winning

The city that once defined postwar prosperity — where wide streets, endless subdivisions, and freeways to the horizon promised a future of limitless growth — has been dealing with a $1 billion budget shortfall. But the story here isn’t about a bad year. It’s about a bad model.

Sitting in an Airport Commission meeting and listening to Members pat themselves on the back about enormous growth in airport traffic. Not a single 🍆 word about impacts to the community from noise or pollution. I’m sorry, Varina.

This is what’s so stupid about “battleground” theory. If the party invested in candidates strategically and early, they could spend a fraction of the resources to get winners. Instead, they wait for “proven” candidates where R’s see it coming and spend bags of 💰 to likely lose by 1-3 points.

Democrat Lily Franklin is challenging Republican incumbent Chris Obenshain. Here’s how one day on the campaign trail looked with both candidates.

Systemic r*cism is affirming decisions made by people who expressly considered race when they made them. If you can’t prove somebody didn’t say in 1956 “hey, let’s put a landfill here because it’s a Black community” or a “poor community”… maybe don’t burden that community more.

A tale of disparity: Springfield Landfill, western Henrico: closed, solar panels installed on top, *because there are (rich) neighborhoods here now* Gillies Industrial Landfill, eastern Henrico: Closed. Now to be an asphalt plant. Tough 🍪, neighbors that prayed for a better day.

Welcome to Virginia, where you can go get a gun from your car, shoot into a crowd, likely kill someone, and no charges even filed because “defense of others”. @richmonder.bsky.social

We found one of these in our backyard! They’re awesome bags, someone in RVA please make them again. Big wide strap, deep pocket, cute aesthetic. I’d buy.

This is how we incentivize absentee landlords and create a new housing crisis! Everyone registering their “primary dwelling” in VA while living elsewhere to claim that $50k. 🙄 At least treat it like state retirement accounts, you keep what you earned. virginiamercury.com/briefs/va-de...

this is EXACTLY how Chávez governed Venezuela. Self-destructive policies, but when someone was able to ask him a question on a talk show or in person, he would always dispatch a minister to solve *that one person's problem* never change the policies

What the heck @axios.com @karripeifer.bsky.social We have such an amazing food culture in #RVA and all you want to talk about is Taco Bell? There’s a damn reason we don’t have more fast food chains in the city and please go away with your unmarked sponsored content.
