I need our best investigative reporters on this: 20205: The Christmas that ChatGPT Bought.
I wanna see the most unhinged thing AI told your people to buy you (and in all likelihood it’s actually something quite boring).
Go!

She’s vile AND we can do better than mocking a woman’s body choices. Yes it’s ironic & yes she’s all the bad things.
But it’s still not ok. 🤷♀️

I distinctly remember NOT being offended the last time I watched Love Actually. Which may have actually been 2003. Such a snapshot of how much has changed in 20 years. 💪👊

Someone, who I deeply respect, once told me watauga County is the buckle on the Bible Belt and to go see how the rest of the world lives. The place that I’m from isn’t the main character here though.
Terrific investigation into Greg Bovino's roots. Lots of interesting details, including:
"Here’s how the Bovinos managed to get around the new quotas that limited how many Italians and others deemed to be “undesirables” could end up in the United States."

Greg Bovino’s the star of Trump’s deportation show. We trace his roots.
As a boy, the Hollywood movie “The Border" set the course for his life. He couldn’t believe the Border Patrol agents in the movie were the bad guys. Now that he’s in charge of deportation efforts caus...

Happy "Circle Back After the Holidays" Season To Everyone!
There were a lot of things that made me sad and mad and astonished last week. But this is a level of quiet rage that might flip the lid.
In an unbelievable moment, Karoline Leavitt gaslights the President calling a reporter "Piggy" as "frank and honest." It's disrespectful and unpresidential.
Full stop.
Full stop.

New record high of 80°, and we could still go higher, it's only 3:45. The old record was 76°. This would also mark the second latest 80° day in the year for #Charlotte. The latest 80° was on Dec 10th, 2007. (Records 1878-2025) #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc
