Mapping North Carolina's cultural titans.
Don't @ me, Ohio. We get the Wright Brothers. They showed up at Kitty Hawk as bicycle mechanics and left as aviators.
Who's on your Mount Rushmore of North Carolinians?
AI offers the possibility of solving some of humanity's greatest problems. It also not a "hoax" to say it has the capacity to BE humanity's greatest threat.
This challenge, bearing down on us like a freight train, will not be solved, as @POTUS suggests, by the innate morality of an AI industry locked in feverish competition.
Rules and regs are necessary.
trump campaigning in North Carolina is a good time to remind you that trump's FEMA denied North Carolina's request to extend 100% full federal cost-sharing reimbursement for Hurricane Helene recovery.
Lonnie Bunch to step down as the Smithsonian's chief amid pressure from the White House over the museum's presentation of history. Bunch says the pressure is not why he is resigning but acknowledges that "it has been stressful." @rpogrebin@Graham_Bowley https://t.co/oROYYdfEdw
His rizz is blowing the audience away. It’s like God took AOC, Obama, Mamdani and Ossoff and put their energy in one human. No venue is too big.

For the people who don't track these things closely, when JD Vance says he's “postliberal” in this context it doesn't mean “post-Democrat,” it means “post-Constitution.”
Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸 !
We continue the struggle for a ‘more perfect union.’
And I continue to agree with James Baldwin: “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”
This should have been 9-0. Shame on justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch for not voting with the majority in this case.
If you are born here, you're a citizen. Plain and simple.
He’s literally blocking a bill that would make it easier for you to afford a home because he wants to be able to suppress voters ahead of the midterms.
This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics
The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.
