I saw Top Gun in theaters having no idea what it was about. Seeing the opening seen with the jets on the aircraft carrier was cool.

Does anyone think making gasoline or eggs or televisions cheaper is bad because it means that people who “didn’t work very hard” can afford them? Of course not.

Free for all readers: the Dodgers say they will visit Trump in the White House to celebrate their World Series championship. This is a cowardly decision that is wrong on every level, and a stab in the back to the city of Los Angeles. Essay under video: mollyknight.substack.com/p/no-the-dod...

Yesterday, someone made a Dungeons & Dragons analogy for vaccines in our (Facebook) comments. I don't play or understand D&D, so I asked our Preparedness Coordinator to explain. I still don’t understand it, but he said this analogy will be understood by people who do! Anyway, please get vaccinated.

@bartsmith.bsky.social oh my goodness, they did it! Thank you N&O for the local news alert.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

@kentremendous.bsky.social I thought it was pretty cool that NBC chose to spotlight for its NBC 100 promo, among all the TV shows the network has aired, “holy forking shirtballs” from The Good Place.

If I were scared of heights I would simply not ski jump.

Really wish I remembered more of my high school Spanish!

This Seattle defense is brutalizing New England.

OK but the most important thing is that we raised more than $145,000 for student journalism on Duke and Carolina’s campuses. Everyone is a winner when we support these kids in their editorial independence.

Each Olympics, @nexton9news.bsky.social roots for a nation that's a longshot for a medal. 2020/2021: Liberia 2022: Iceland 2024: Albania (won a bronze!) 2026: Andorra

It’s on in chapel hill!

Big mistake if you’re not subscribed to @rodger.bsky.social’s Sports! newsletter. Daily during the Winter Olympics! Comprehensive and free (but you should pay even though it’s optional).

As we are approaching the day of the "Bad Bunny Halftime Show" , I am heartened to hear of his songs on environmental justice. www.momscleanairforce.org/bad-bunny-5-...

Please don’t accept or normalize the fact that the HHS Secretary uses his power and position to spread disinformation & conspiracy theories #rfk @defendpublichealth.bsky.social

A driver struck and injured a bicyclist on North Carolina Highway 54 on Thursday evening. Police later cited the driver for failure to reduce speed and violating a daytime driving only license restriction. Here's what we know:

Andrew Dunn is trying desperately to make fetch happen

This is an amazing quote.

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

So many heroes in Minneapolis and elsewhere (gift link)

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

My unpopular view: This is a smart move. Clearly no one cares about sports!

Well, you can’t trust research from left-wing radicals like the *checks notes* Cato Institute?

NO ONE COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS! I was told the basic economic laws of supply and demand did not apply to housing.

cc @mkramer.bsky.social more local target news. Get ready!

Only 1.6 seconds left, but you’ve gotta block out!

Wally's wishing you a Happy Truck Day!

makes sense that they’d see a spike in sledding injuries, a number which I assume is normally zero

NEW STORY: Sunday's game between the Bucks & Celtics could have just been another run-of-the-mill game. But Pioneers Day meant that it was far from that. “It just put things in perspective what it means to be a Celtic.” www.celticsblog.com/celtics-feat...

It’s cold, there’s snow on the ground, and still dark outside for far too long—but it’s also truck day! Summer is coming…

How weird that this guy also immediately knuckled under to Trump’s threats towards his law firm. Profile in bravery.

The verdict is in: Transit service will not operate today, February 1. Road conditions are unsafe. Thanks for your understanding!

Here's our analysis of this weekend's snowfall totals across North Carolina. ❄️ Notably, portions of all 3 regions of the state (Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain) received more than a foot of snow! Stay tuned for our full blog post writeup about this storm tomorrow. #ncwx

Wheeeee! #snOMG

Thank goodness we finally know.

OH: “Speaking of evil people, I was re-reading old Stephen Miller columns from when he was at Duke, and it turns out he has really bad opinions about parking.”

lol at @theverge.com using the photo of Elon Musk that ADL bent over backwards to absolve him of any antisemitic intent, while at the same time attacking college students who thought the indiscriminate killing of Gaza’s was suboptimal.

Do you want to see SEND HELP at Alamo on Saturday? Act fast. Want to see MELANIA? How about a private screening?

Following the winter storm, solid waste collection is planned to proceed on Wednesday, Jan. 28, although some delays may occur, reports the Carrboro Public Works Department. ❄️ https://monkeylink.co/dbded1
