This is super cool. How do we get a graph like this for NC?

What if I told you that it was actually the City of Raleigh that's wrong? You take the blue pill, you continue to live your life as you've always known it. You take the red pill, I tell you that the man himself actually spelled it Ralegh. No i.

Comes on the parents too. Kid acting up? Remove them. And that's where the breakdown happens a lot of times. Many people aren't actually mad at the kids, they're mad at the parents. And I get that. But a lot of people can't tease out the difference in their minds.

It's a balance, like everything, but going to a restaurant and then being mad that there are kids? Naw. People complaining when there are kids in any context that isn't specifically for kids. How else are they supposed to learn how to act appropriately as adults?

I think about this a lot as a parent of a toddler. As a society, we have "othered" children so, so much. Few think of their collective duty to raise all our children successfully into society. Then we wonder why we get these maladjusted adults.

Man I’m 2-fer on things that @ncrabbithole.com might find neat. This bluegrass family band from Surry Co. made the front page of Reddit today.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Here’s a fun @ncrabbithole.com -y fact I just learned:

2 of the *worlds* 5 oldest rivers run through North Carolina. The French Broad (#3) and New River (#4) both flow in NC. They are older than the Atlantic ocean that they currently run in to. Don’t know what to do with that info, but it’s fun.

Of course. It’s best viewed on desktop unfortunately. The details in the pins get lost in the Google Maps app and the mobile browser version is hard to navigate. Maybe one day I’ll make my own app 😅

NC Restaurants To Visit - Google My Maps Ratings on a 5-star scale. Contextual ratings take into account the location of a restaurant and whether that makes it better or worse compared to its peers. For example, a restaurant in a large city ...

Not Solomon but Boxyard RTP has great stuff and is just off 40. If you're willing to travel a bit, I've heard great things abt Zweli's and its high on my list of places to go. I keep a map of places for just such an occasion: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...

TBB is insanely good. This whole thing is just super sad as a SILS alum.

What's most interesting to me about this is that it's the same places winning as when I was living there more than a decade ago.

It me.

This is funny, but they need to add another zero onto the tax evasion number for a house like this.

It’s a special kind of tiny sadness when your neighborhood or community just LOVES a restaurant…that is not good.

This is the NC Rabbit Hole in its purest, most potent form. Amazing journalism on something completely unnecessary, but fascinating at the same time.

Has @solomonmissouri.bsky.social seen this musical glory?

I don’t care if your job doesn’t require knife… you are an adult…. Bring knife!!!

Costco is switching their fountain soda to Coca Cola products instead of Pepsi products. There you go. I saved you 700 words of probably-AI-generated slop.

Hey #librarysky: this is a minor emergency. Can someone tell me a brief recent history (post 2015) of DPLA and where it stands today? I’m supposed to know things at a meeting tomorrow 😬

Small fun story about this. My FIL listens to SouthBound as well and was faster on the draw than me to get to this episode. And yesterday when we were doing Father's Day stuff he asked if I'd heard it yet, which I hadn't, so he just whipped it out and played the clip of me being name dropped lol

OK. So I just finished the episode of Southbound by @tommytomlinson.bsky.social with @ncrabbithole.com. CANNOT BELIEVE I WAS NAME CHECKED! Thank you both so much. Rabbit Hole questions, by their very nature, are always fun to dive into. Give SouthBound a listen here:

since @drpattijones.bsky.social asked, some similar numbers for unc:

as of june 30, 2024, unc's endowment was $5.6 billion. (there's another $5.5 billion in the system-wide endowment that unc-chapel hill's board helps manage.)

$784 million (14%) of the chapel hill endowment is unrestricted

It's like when the Globetrotters appeared on Scooby Doo!
