They also haven't done provisionals or mail in most likely. So that number will change between now and next week. (Source is I've been an NC election judge for years.)
“I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love!”
Literally.
Telling a coworker who acts like a cheerleader you were an actual cheerleader is a great way to shut people up in the morning.
@hdtgm.bsky.social I didn't vote for this on Discord because I remember seeing it in theaters during grad school (because we'd watch anything with Clive Owen, and could legally drink), but put it on tonight at a party and ho boy...
There are a few people I think this could actually be given the outfit description, and they usually come into Cup A Joe by 8 am.
I am very lyrics-first. And there are absolutely only two types of people. Lyrics-first and music-first. And they mate with each other and fight over the aux forever.
Me: I heard I kicked your ass Christmas Eve.
Other Person: I heard your boyfriend bit my ass in the fight!
Me: I truly love how absurd this story is getting. Besides you being a foot taller that me and me winning with a busted knee, it now includes me dating a gay guy.
Don't want to know how you earned the beads
Raise your hand if you went to one of the subversive schools!
That every recommended song is from Fiona Apple or Amy Winehouse means I won't have to adult verification on Discord, right?
"You would break for squirrels during rush hour, wouldn't you Ms. Sykes! It's still Ms. Sykes, right?" -- Conversation from cars on a street in Chapel Hill with my grad school advisor today
I had a Proustian moment at the corporate coffee machine this morning. The nostalgia was destroyed when a coworker asked who Proust was.
I came here to ask this
Weijia is like Michael in Arrested Development.
So I was reading this WSJ editorial and it made me think of the show Years and Years. Damn that show was spot-on...
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
Had some conversations tonight about an old trivia teammate who moved away but came back to town. This was a trivia team from 2012, and not even our first grouping. I joked this trivia team was the longest relationship I'll ever have.
Came here to say this
I have memories of playing this song out of a megaphone to my across-the-street neighbor in the 90s on something a bit more sophisticated than a tin can telephone. I think we might have been the last people to do that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkro...
Seriously, I had someone find my LinkedIn, which I thought was well hidden, because of my extremely traumatic ex. And then someone asked me to connect them to a college friend for a creepy govt proposal. Done with that site.
@theresthistory.bsky.social The Farm is in southern Virginia. I know because I've been there (by accident - missed a freeway exit trying to get back to my university, which is nearby and feeds some of it's recruits).
I pledged Phi Mu in undergrad and we were a weird combination of minorities, the women's rugby team, and the honor's dorm. When Bama Rush broke out it was surreal to see that many blondes in the same sorority I'd been in -- I think we had one blonde, and she was the Teen Jeopardy Champion.
Finding out your friend could have arrested Stephen Miller at a Duke party in 2006 but didn't is the ultimate sliding doors moment. THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN PREVENTED BY NOISE ENFORCEMENT?
The world is freakishly small if you went to William and Mary.
I had this running this morning while doing food prep for the failed ice-ageddon. Gotta say, the show goes really well with caramelizing onions.
I did my PhD work on these groups. I'm shocked.
I'm reading the Guardian's coverage of the Minneapolis slaying and all I can think is it's just an attempt to get the record public for a future truth and reconciliation hearing. Because that's where the US is - we're so warped we're going to need Truth and Reconciliation. #DLTBGYD
