For the first time since last November, much of western North Carolina is UNCLASSIFIED on the latest drought map thanks to ongoing improvements after Isaias.

In the northeast, drought has slightly expanded amid dry and windy weather so far in October. #ncwx

This cat might look precious, but last night as he slept beside me in bed he heard a noise, freaked out, launched off the bed, stomped on my left eye, which is now bruised, sore and swollen.
Does he care? Not one iota

Exhausted workers falling asleep while driving. Working in dangerous conditions on the sounds. Falsified and incorrect data. 7 of 13 fisheries managed by the state have collapsed. Whistleblowers spoke up

Journalists, you've not plunged into a nest of cobras until you've reported on the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. Ditto the Marine Fisheries Commission. Questioning my life choices at this moment.

@dani__battaglia If folks think the fed govt is corrupt, they should investigate any town under 2,000 people. Shady shit, often because a lot of people are related and on the take

It’s quite simple to reduce your energy consumption during peak times when **your power has been out for almost 4 hours***

If the McClatchy layoffs weren't bad enough, the newspaper in Concord, N.C., axed its only reporter, and the papers covering Gastonia and Shelby are down to one reporter for both places, according to @davemildenberg: https://t.co/SK679m6pr6

Search warrant shows that the NC SBI's probe launched after bourbon tours is now looking at possible embezzlement. The treasurer of a nonprofit says he made more than $30,000 in personal purchases on the group's credit cards. The latest from @dankanenando. https://t.co/3atX9qacPq

This is an affront to all legit journalists

From this week's WUNC Politics Newsletter:

Did the "North Carolina Independent" newspaper show up in your mailbox? Are you seeing ads for the "North Carolinian"? As you might guess, they're not your typical news outlets: https://t.co/xxAnNwMJ2s #ncpol

Another reason to shut down Data Centers. The new wave of “forever chemicals” they will unleash. The UN has just reported that the elimination of Forever Chemicals from the world is a human right.

Mercury & I have a lot in common:
"When Mercury formed about 4.5 billion years ago ... it was a much hotter planet. Over many millenniums, however, its metallic core has cooled and contracted, causing the planet’s surface to warp and wrinkle"

on wednesday, nc state told 16 salvadorans they were "separated from employment." on thursday, ncsu reversed course.

this is the outcome of the white house saying it would remove immigration protections for salvadorans, but not actually doing it.

[lisasorg @lisasorg]

This must have been harrowing for the Salvadorans with temporary protected status. Am I employed or not?
