“An actual semi-Kardashian” is a skillful turn of phrase

Going back to school isn’t for the weak, especially when you’re doing shift work. You should be very proud of yourself. (But please do try to keep the Wahoowa exclamations to a reasonable level.)

Can’t take the Chapel Hill out of the boy

Named our daughter Deirdre, an old Gaelic name, and she was most annoyed by the falsity of this rule while growing up. It appears that your explainer rule doesn’t work for her, but we appreciate the effort 😊

Five years after Jan. 6, officers describe the toll of defending the Capitol In his first day in office, Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people in the Jan. 6th Capitol riot. The country has moved on, but for some the day still looms large.

No particular reason—but what a privilege it is to have such a beautiful campus. Just another December night @uncchapelhill.bsky.social

What a nice job on graphics. And really appreciate the different data points that are shown. Plus you know how to charm me by calling me a Culturista 😆

Absolutely masterful. And 1000% respect for the manner in which you addressed her: direct, respectful language and tone, factual, not allowing her to evade. *This* is how to persuade others. Well done.

Carolina Fam! Our long national nightmare is over—Heels are back on YouTube TV. And we just got Cookies!

What a second half! The Red Panda Effect!

Sweet seats! Hard to tell on the radio—but do I hear Red Panda?

That was a very thoughtful and positive way to phrase an important message. Thank you for role modeling this—perhaps you have changed someone’s mind today.

Thank you so much! Was unaware of how to advocate to ACIP directly. This was your good deed for the day.

It’s College Night at the DBAP. Wool E. Bull, Rameses, the NCCU Eagle, and Mr & Ms Wuf all introduced. But no mention or appearance by the Blue Devil. Did my heart good that in Durham tonight, they had to pretend like Duke University doesn’t even exist. @carolinainsiderpod.bsky.social

I’m reliably informed that AI inaccuracies or straight up falsehoods occur when there’s not enough human input in machine learning processes. (Aka HITL, Human In The Loop.) I think human Pod listeners know who the best announcer is. Congratulations on your award, @jonesangell.bsky.social !🤭

Hahaha well done

Chapel Hill friends, prepare to be jealous. It was a well-spent summer in my sewing room. Can’t get this on Franklin Street!

Would be interested to see a scatter plot map or similar showing where in the city they are being deployed, maybe with a week of data. Is this show just to impress the tourists/well-to-do? Or actually addressing areas of violent crime? And who is actually deciding where they patrol?

So scared, people were running through the streets

@carolinainsiderpod.bsky.social Costco stands ready to help @jonesangell.bsky.social branch out into Halloween inflatables. Establish dominance over your neighbors!

Fortunate to tour there in 1984 with my UNC History Professor, Dr. Willis Brooks. At 74, my grandmother then painted this watercolor from my photos. Wonderful memories of them both.

Well done. Gotta say that no album gave me a chuckle—could be a good thought experiment.

Ken, thank you so much for posting this. I’ll try to stay focused on pursuing the *ideals* of what our democracy is about, and not let discouragement win the day.

Rural Pittsboro, NC #NoKings rally. Crowd estimate 1200 per NC Dem Party Chair. Speeches by veterans and recognition for service of all vets in attendance. Pledge of allegiance. Visible police presence keeping the peaceful , respectful crowd safe. This is how to do it. @msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com

@carolinainsiderpod.bsky.social For the next time we play in NYC: my daughter sent this exciting news

Well done as usual.

It breaks my heart to read some of the things you’ve been going through.

But good to see your sense of humor remains intact, with gems like “invertebrates in Congress”, plus the Mike Johnson Pharisee reference the week after Easter —top-tier work.

Today we conducted Stop The Bleed training (hemorrhage control) with an energetic group of UNC Naval ROTC students. A delightful afternoon—but also a sobering reminder that they deserve competent professional military leaders; and elected officials who won’t put them in harm’s way recklessly.

Thank you so much. It was very thought-provoking.

Very pleased to see this topic being addressed. When I clicked on the YouTube link, unfortunately it said that the video is private. Are you aware of any other options for viewing?
