I live a little over 2 miles from Kenan. I’ve lived here for 25 years, and never.. never has it ever been that loud. Maybe the 2003 Bruce Springsteen concert

That was a loud UNC football game. The sound was not turned to 11, it was turned to 12

My car identifies as a Gillig bus 🚌😛

First look inside the new cats cradle

Outside the cats cradle for their first show, which is a GOTV concert for Roy Cooper

This Monday, Oct 26 at 4PM on the Carrboro Radio Hour wcomfm.org I will be talking with Sharon Mosley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor As we approach the end of the year, with holidays that feature gatherings and food rituals, we end up creating stressful situations.

All set up for tonight’s Orange-Chatham Sierra Club social. Our last of the year. Stop by, and learn how we’re helping our endorsed candidates in the mid terms 🗳️ We’re at Dingo Dog in Carrboro!

This is a good one!

I’m procrastinating on a work task. So instead, I’m looking at my camera roll for pictures of me on bikes

Finally some good news for Republicans? Up 2% in day 5 early voting vs 2022. Bad news for Republicans? Dems up 58% in day 5 early voting 😳 Wassup in Johnston County? 😳 files.catbox.moe/szfotn.png

We agree! What do you think folks? Should we hold our own design contest and submit the winners. Here is what Durham came up with!

If you’re tuning in on WCOMfm.org today at 4PM to hear Beth Bronson, stay tuned afterwards and I’ll have Nicole Quick from @carolinaforward.bsky.social and Stephen Whitlow from @triangleblogblog.bsky.social on, v it a satellite to discuss the election and turnout data ! 4PM today

Anyone. And I’m sorry, not sorry, ANYONE, who drives trucks like this hate children .

I am actually disappointed I’m not in Paris for this . French protesters are pro level

Just 25 counties had day 3/Saturday early voting in both 2026 and 2022. Comparing Saturday turnout by party affiliation is...something. CLT is stepping up now but more interesting are the suburban counties like fast growing Brunswick and Union, ruby red for years. files.catbox.moe/pmjpb2.png

Goodbye Odum Village. Hello surprisingly pretty park-like setting south of campus. triangleblogblog.com/2026/10/17/c...

Another tremendous day of #earlyvoting in Orange County (NC). Today had 65% more votes than the first Saturday of voting in 2022, with three sites nearly doubling their totals from then. Overall there's nearly a 63% increase in early voting so far.

Spent the morning canvassing in the cold and rain for Ian Baltutis, NC house candidate, and the entire @ncdp.org ticket in Alamance County. Get out and vote! pho

Nice to know if the flawed FSD fails you on a bridge you still have a way out

Great North Carolina early voting website assembled by @peark.es ncearly.peark.es

Voter 544 at the Drakeford. Vote early to make sure there are no issues. You can then sort them out in time. It’s amazing long time voters have had challenges to their registration, but that is where we are

I interviewed Beth Bronson for The Carrboroean radio hour. Watch the website for a playback and I’ll share when it’s going to be broadcast. Perfect interview for the first day of voting ! 🗳️

!!!!!Early voting!!!! North Carolina friends, get out and vote, also vote against all the amendments

Summer 1987: New York City mayor Ed Koch announces a bicycle ban in midtown. Slow-ride protests led by bike messengers fought the ban, & city residents sided with the cyclists. The ban was lifted before it ever went into effect. 📷Carl Hultberg

Artifacts from a time when the internet was mostly a kind and welcoming place . I am pleased to see ibiblio is still around and doing its thing

This is exactly the point I brought up to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners when they were considering a moratorium on data centres. OC needs rules on backup power, what kind and how long it’s run, before allowing them in the county

My Annie’s burrito identifies

I’m blog blogging from Open Eye Café

Missed out on a peppers pizza shirt when they existed? Lapin Bleue has NOS ones. Come get one!

Who benefits from NC's proposed property tax amendment? Watchdog Bob Hall warns that capping local property tax increases would be a gift to Duke Energy and data centers, while leaving families to cover the cost through higher fees, sales taxes, or cuts to public services.

This is great. My wife was a social worker and got her MSW at the UNC School of Social Work

People get all gushy and happy when the see people in movies and ad content serenely riding bikes. But it all goes south when they encounter this on the way to COSTCO . Be these people… Don’t be the angry COSTCO driver

I’m chairing the search, so please be in touch with questions. We’ll begin reviewing applications on Oct. 19.

I am totally on board with this. Who thinks handing the keys for an Escalade to a 17 year old is a great idea?
