fascinating that the BBC's US page doesn't have *any* news about Andrew, yet www.bbc.com/news/us-canada

just got an email notification that someone new followed me on Mastadon

Here's how to disable Ring's creepy Search Party feature www.engadget.com/big-tech/her...

Here's a random fact: The Rev. Jesse Jackson caught a touchdown pass at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem (most recently the home of NASCAR's Cook Out Clash) on October 20, 1962.

"None of the [AI] models evaluated in experiment were 'ready for deployment in direct patient care,' the researchers concluded in the paper, which is the first randomized study of its kind." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

"the U.S. economy added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000"

i've got the Curling gold medal match on in the corner of my screen, but it's on mute, so all i have to go on is the scoring bug (no help whatsoever) and crowd reactions (pretty helpful) to figure out who's winning. i think it's a tight...end? race? game? dunno. US fans seem happy, though!

i'll vote for any candidate who vows to legally ban marketing cold calls sent as a calendar invitation

I absolutely LOVE that this song made an appearance during the #Olympics Opening Ceremony. It’s always been such a bizarre/fascinating earworm www.facebook.com/share/v/1Dfy...

Here's something I never thought we'd need...a #measles tracking dashboard from NCDHHS! (we're up to 17 cases across 7 counties) 😬 www.dph.ncdhhs.gov/programs/epi...

Glad I got to talk about this important issue on @myfox8.com. Hope the #NCGA takes action during the 2026 short session - it's a big deal for healthcare access & affordability. myfox8.com/spotlight/bu...

If you're in North Carolina and suddenly find yourself flush with cash after dropping your Washington Post subscription, I'd suggest reinvesting that money into the News & Observer, WUNC, NC Health News, or The Assembly, among others. Plenty of great journalism still going on...but it needs help!

I know full well that it ages me as a man of a certain age...but i'm thrilled to see Ween hinting at a comeback. #Boognish Off to listen to their live country album for the rest of the night open.spotify.com/album/5T2jLJ...

Well THAT’S certainly a relief #EpsteinFiles

Katherine O’Hara was a national treasure. This is awful news.

i love that LinkedIn still has that creepy "so-and-so viewed your profile" notification that nobody ever asked for

NCNA's Board of Directors has voted to approve a public statement on Alex Pretti's death.

Walk for Peace in Raleigh

What the hell was that, Fulham? Awful game from start to finish

can't help but wonder if this was the ultimate goal all along? www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Sometimes I think Gene Hackman's character in "Enemy of the State" might have had the right idea...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Wow. Can't believe the Tomlin era is actually over in Pittsburgh. I know Steelers fans have been frustrated that he couldn't consistently get from above-average to great - but as a Giants fan, I'd have gladly taken the last decade or so off their hands 😂

Come on #Fulham!!

I went to stream last night’s @thedailyshow.com and got an ad for the #BariWeiss town hall with #ErikaKirk. Not quite sure that’s the right target demo? 🤔

5 years ago, I was struck by the many pundits and politicians who watched the Jan. 6 riot and responded with some variation of "this isn't who we are." History, particularly in North Carolina, tells a different story, as I wrote for @newsobserver.com. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Nobody responds to the vast majority of my posts here - so I hardly see any direct hostility! #SilverLinings

Loved "Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott.” Such a great walk down memory lane and a great tribute to a tremendous talent taken way too soon. #StuartScott

COME ON FULHAM!!! What a beautiful goal by Reed. Wow 🤩

From a PR perspective, I’m surprised so many Dem statements are leading with “yes, maduro was bad but…” Seems like a subtle, if unintentional, concession.

I propose a law banning radio stations from playing the Waterfalls edit that cuts out Left Eye’s entire rap section

I don't mean to brag, but i just got my work inbox down to 15 unread emails.

Pretty excited that I was able to score these for tonight!

There is nothing like the despondency of losing your fantasy football playoff game. It hurts but literally NOBODY cares.

@ktompkinsii.bsky.social My opponent had Puka…so I can’t bet on safe floors for my dismal RB room. I need to swing for the fences. Think I’ve gotta bench both Jeanty and Jaylen Warren and am gonna plug in Michael Carter and Audric Estime. Am I crazy? I hate all of this 😂

Need to pick 2 out of Ashton Jeanty, Jaylen Warren, and Michael Carter (& potentially Devin Neal, if he magically gets healthy). I hate this list and know for a fact that whoever I put on the bench will outscore my starters. Gimme any and all advice - good or bad. #FantasyFootball #FantasyPlayoffs

They nailed it this time tbh #TimePersonOfTheYear

We got a Christmas card today that was very clearly also serving as a divorce announcement and I don’t think I’ve seen anything that savage in a while.
