@GoHokies2 @GoadGatsby @NavyMojo Prohibition was written into a Constitutional amendment too. But then they passed the illegal 21st Amendment.

@GoadGatsby @NavyMojo it’s also written into the constitutional amendment that districts are to be drawn by a commission; not the legislature. They literally had to pass a law to be retroactive to the 1970s to avoid tripping a notification requirement for election timing. But It’s wRitTeN dOwN

What part is the lie? It's written to only trigger if other states do mid-decade redistricting and can't be used after 2030.

@EmrysSelene @GoadGatsby This bill doesn't have anything to do with state house or senate districts and if they had one that did, it would also have to go to a referendum.

@GoadGatsby It won't be a temporary thing as they pack the house and senate eliminating the voice of millions of Virginians. What happened to the amendment having an independent group do the redistricting vs the legislation to prevent gerrymandering. Thus meaning they vote to keep it in 2030

@SherOnHealth @PeteThamel Roger Mason too

@SherOnHealth @PeteThamel UVa went to 4 tournaments between 96 and 13 and they had a bunch of highly-ranked recruits during that period. Courtney Alexander, Watson, Billett, Forbes, Singletary, and Landesberg were all top-50 guys

Sources: Pepperdine is finalizing deal to hire Virginia associate head coach Griff Aldrich as the school’s new basketball coach. He led Longwood to a pair of NCAA tournaments as a head coach, as he went 127-100 in seven years there.

@SherOnHealth @PeteThamel Pepperdine ain't Gonzaga or St. Mary's. Haven't been to the tournament in over 30 years and with those guys in the conference they probably won't make another for another 30 years.

@NosamDerf @PeteThamel The WCC >> Big South The former got a 3, 7 and 10th seed in the NCAAs The latter got a 12th seed. Plus the view from Pepperdine.

@gwilk44 @Trigon12345 @PeteThamel Based on the lack of Yelp activity, it's probably been closed for like 20 years yelp.com/biz/wing-shak-…

@NosamDerf @Trigon12345 @PeteThamel I’ve lived in that area my whole life and never heard of it

@gwilk44 @Trigon12345 @PeteThamel It was (is?) a Shak where Wings were eaten, beers pounded, darts thrown, things of that nature

@NosamDerf @Trigon12345 @PeteThamel Wing shak?

@ThatGuyRocked And Mike Scott

@ThatGuyRocked Jeff Teague soon, please

Robbie Hummel That guy rocked.

@nytimes @TheAthletic They got more likeable by hiring an Israeli national as head coach? What does that say about Coach K lol?

From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke. But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? nyti.ms/47jRjJy

@Trigon12345 @PeteThamel Is the Wing Shak still in Farmville? Because if so, it's a close call. That place ruled. We drove down from UVa to hang out there a bunch of times.

@NosamDerf @PeteThamel True. Malibu is no Farmville.

@jtd941 @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper How would I know about them if they didn't? Lol

@NosamDerf @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper That these silly tales involve you is the common denominator.

Last thing I’ll say about this godforsaken memoir, but the new Jezebel interview captures perfectly why Adult Braces is a bad book: it’s a travelogue where West has zero interest in learning things from people she meets. Each encounter is an opportunity to score political points.

@pentamom65 @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper He's not disputing her story. He's just saying it makes her look like a condescending bitch, which... I dunno, maybe, but the jury's definitely still out about that.

@NosamDerf @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper Hey look a story less believable than Lindy's!

@jtd941 @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper I can keep going lol. There was the time I went into a biker bar having a karaoke night in Alma, Wisconsin with a buddy from Minnesota and two Korean women when the cops came in and made a bee-line straight to our table in the back of the bar to hassle us and check IDs

@jtd941 @amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper You're a fuckin moron. Yeah, sure I just saw a post on twitter and made up a name of a random Missouri cop on the spot to support a fake story facebook.com/dtinnin1/

@amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper The main one says "I see you lookin at my badge. My name's Tinnin and the chief of police has my back"

@amolitor99 @Tyler_A_Harper I checked into a hotel in Sikeston, Missouri with Virginia plates late one night and as I'm coming out to get my bag out of the trunk, some cops come over, say that "someone's been making a racket at McDonald's" and proceed to follow me in and ransack my hotel room.

@Tyler_A_Harper @amolitor99 I went to the Miracle of America Museum in Polson, Montana, in 2012 and the two old ladies running the place were very conspicuously having a conversation that they wanted us to overhear about how Obama was probably the antichrist lol

@amolitor99 Everyone I met in Montana was extremely nice, I dunno. I spent a lot of time drinking in teensy tiny town cowboy bars when I was there last and people couldn’t have been more welcoming.

@Tyler_A_Harper Not to defend a book I haven't read and about which I've heard only bad things, but who exactly is the person viewing this encounter as an opportunity to score political points? Is it not the guy who comes out, apropos of nothing, with "you don't have to wear a mask in here?"
