You think you know stress?

When I grew up, if you missed a TV show you just missed it.

Forever.

The area around Rodanthe Pier, where multiple houses have collapsed in recent years. This is at low tide. Could see major issues here if the 15-20 ft. wave forecast verifies. #yestv #ncwx #Erin

Duke University, Davidson College face β€˜woke’ tax in proposed β€˜big beautiful bill’ Duke University and Davidson College officials are waiting to see if they get hit with a 7% tax on their endowments after a proposal in the House reconciliation bill.

Yeah dog, Duke is too woke.
But for real, increase that endowment tax but still cut snap and leave kids hungry in NC. Make it make sense.

There are many things that state leaders should do these days to improve the UNC System. Providing adequate funds to hire and retain topflight faculty and reining in out-of-control professional sports programs would be a good start. #ncpol

Y’all! A lot has changed since November. Philly won a Super Bowl. White Lotus dropped a new season. The Rizzler made his wrestling debut. What hasn’t changed? Jefferson Griffin is still whining about losing a free and fair election. Enough is enough. #OurVotesCount #ncpol #handsoff

DOGE is BAD for NC farmers! #ncpol β€˜USDA cuts have many farmers, including Brown's friends he said, concerned about how they will move forward. He said about 75% of his revenue comes from federal funds. He is having to pivot to other revenue streams and resources to have a successful growing year.’

As national butterfly numbers tumble, UNC biologist says citizen-science can help The decline is concerning because butterflies are important pollinators for the state’s crops and a vital food source for birds.

America’s butterfly population is in a state of rapid decline involving hundreds of species, a new national study finds.

Sounds like SB58 gets picked back up for discussion tomorrow at 11am. We do not need to take away the powers of our very own Attorney General to protect the people of NC.

Judge blocks Trump administration from terminating DEI-related grants The judge found the administration's mandate that grant recipients not engage in "equity-related" programs was too broad.

Does anyone have information about what this means for the Dept of Education deadline of 2/28 to remove all DEI programming or lose federal funding? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
