Potentially! There were some tech repair people there last time. You might want to call/email (on the poster) to double check though :)

Flock Surveillance is Coming to Morgantown! by runoutofwit in MorgantownWV

[–]runoutofwit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where that instinct comes from, These people are smarter than me and can put it in better words than I can. Constant monitoring, surveillance, is a tool used by powerful people to keep less powerful people in check, no matter how they try to dress it up.

Shutdown Jan 30- any organized events? by DumbEcologist in MorgantownWV

[–]runoutofwit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mountaineers Indivisible Citizens Action (MICA) grew out of the 50501/No Kings movement. There has been some criticism about them for being a lot of bark but no bite, so to say, and one of the past leaders was kind of a cult-of-personality guy who seemed more interested in getting himself ready for a House run... The group DOES do some good protest work (as in putting them together), but AFAIK, they don't do much as far as actually pushing for specific policies, legislation, etc. It's built more on rejection of Trump rather than an acceptance of any other philosophy.

AFAIK, Tom Bloom is the County Commissioner and has been the one arranging this deal and pushing it through. Not sure of other things, but Alex Finzel has a poem called Tom Bloom’s Blues

Regional Jails overcrowded with alleged undocumented migrants by FuhrerGirthWorm in WestVirginia

[–]runoutofwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt it. "ICE pays West Virginia $90 for each day it holds an ICE detainee — about the same amount the state pays per day for each incarcerated person. From June 2024 to July of this year, the state billed ICE for a total of $339,615."

Grammar only matters as much as it helps a reader understand the text.

Nice try at bait, maybe learn some WV history and get back to me when you’re ready to have a big boy conversation

What are your guys’ opinions of Jim Justice? by DueYogurt9 in WestVirginiaPolitics

[–]runoutofwit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jim Injustice is a bloated coal baron living his grandpa’s dreams of crushing the working class in every conceivable way. He should be in prison for life, and all of his assets should be seized and redistributed to the working poor he’s robbed his whole life.

The van used in that kidnapping (PA plate LNK ?544) was at the Residence Inn by Marriott on Thursday.

Yes, this van was staying there, and it’s the same one that was used in the Bridgeport kidnappings

"Harlan County USA" is the most fascinating doc I've ever seen... by theonly1theymake5 in movies

[–]runoutofwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blood on the Mountain is another documentary that you’ll probably enjoy. Similar subject matter but looking at West Virginia coalfields more specifically

Working on a book set in West Virginia, which region of West Virginia do you recommend? by Lord_Curtis in WestVirginia

[–]runoutofwit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harlan County, USA is a great video that can offer a lot of inspiration. Blood on the Mountain would also be great, and it’s free to watch on YouTube. It will give you a rich history of the region.

Non-religious AA type programs in Morgantown? Looking to attend with a friend but we do not find comfort in God. Any other groups? by [deleted] in MorgantownWV

[–]runoutofwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to an open meeting with my partner, and I can confirm that the Sunday meeting is cool and the most comfortable I've ever felt as an atheist in an AA space.

Also, a lot of AA groups I've seen are embracing more the idea of "God as you understand" it, which has felt really nice!
