Be boring.

Wake up early, go for a walk, get sunlight, brew some coffee, read books, spend time with friends and family.

@newsobserver Ah! Scott, Thank you for all your work highlighting the restaurants, venues & most of all the people of North Carolina. You will be so missed! But I hope you & Nina continue to explore this state, this country & our world … & send us a postcard once in awhile!

The thing about life is that it’ll nearly kill you.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

Rest in peace to the woman who played the most despicable daughter in cinema history and thank you for inspiring the funniest monologue in Designing Women.

That last time #UNC went 2-0 at the College World Series was 2006, the year the Canes last won the Stanley Cup.

My favorite Tar Heel! HBD, Sam! You always have the best smile. 🩵🐏🩵

Happy 65th Birthday to Tar Heels legend Sam Perkins! 🎉

A three-time All-American, 1982 National Champion, and Olympic gold medalist, Perkins remains one of the most accomplished players in North Carolina basketball history. 🩵🐏

An already iconic career added a 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙎𝘾𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏 moment for the whole world to see.

Cincinnati is one of America’s most underrated city escapes.

Old brick streets, river views, German roots, hillside neighborhoods, and a skyline that looks better than most people expect from Ohio.

@RossMartinNC He deserves it! Our loss (UNC) is MSU’s gain.

“I love being at home. My life is very simple. I reada lot of books. I watch a lot of films. I listen to a lot of music. I tend the garden. I cook with my family. Yeah, I'm boring.”
