The Second Act of Donald Trump The man himself declared he’d been “saved by God to make America great again,” and if that’s the case, then God must be a fan of chaos. The speech was classic Trump, a greatest hits album of grievance and grandiosity. He promised excellence, success, and, of course, the end of America’s decline, which he claimed had been a problem until about five minutes earlier. Read more, link in bio.

A Richmond Hidden Gem | The Story of Gary’s Chalkboard On Floyd Avenue, in a part of Richmond that still feels like it belongs to its people, there’s a chalkboard. No fanfare, no neon signs, no marketing ploys. Just a weathered board, a question, a quote, and sometimes, a little plastic Magic 8-Ball dangling at the side. It doesn’t try to draw attention, but it does anyway. People stop. They read. Some write. It’s become part of the rhythm here, like a quiet pulse running through the street. And behind it all is Gary. Read the story:

Redefining Dry January, RVA Style Dry January has taken on a new meaning for Richmonders after the self-inflicted failure of the city’s water plant and ensuing five days of chaos that is now, hopefully, behind us. If you made the Dry January pledge here but found yourself instead with a 12-pack of brews this week because there was no water from the tap or at the store, then don’t feel too bad. Just redefine it as “Semi-arid January,” declare victory, and get back on track now the water is flowing and clean again. I jest, of course, (but only a little) because what happened this week in Richmond is a serious matter that underscores what we have seen for more than a decade — massive negligence of essential infrastructure investment in critical city function Read more, link in bio.
