Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

@KJP These are so rad! It’s hard to find any solid leather woven shoes anymore, including in loafers that are nice.

"HB 885 will help reduce FTA rates in VA through an automated court reminder system. The Commonwealth can realize significant cost savings from reduced hearing delays, executions of bench warrants, and jail use."

House hearing today.

@MirandaLMelvin @SwiftiesHQs Ahh yeah that explains why I heard it earlier I guess on @SIRIUSXM.

Let’s start a wave of goodness. Slower hearts. Kinder assumptions. A little more grace for everyone.
Leave people better than you found them. Say “hello” and treat people like neighbors again.
There are forces that want to divide us and make us weaker. Be bigger than that.
Unity doesn’t start with systems or slogans, it starts with you saying “hello” and putting aside our differences to build something bigger for our future generations.

Virginia now leads other states with the nation’s lowest recidivism rate, a rank it has maintained for 12 consecutive years.

"Often, individuals miss court because they forgot the hearing date, were unaware they had to appear, or lacked transportation. Missing court normally occurs inadvertently, not because the defendant is intentionally avoiding accountability. However, it still can cause profound ramifications, leading to additional charges as well as bench warrants for the defendant. This raises costs for state and local governments in Virginia, as arrest warrants require additional court personnel time, law enforcement resources to find and book the defendant, and the prospect of jail time." @RobertBMelvin
