. . . Moffitt or Moffitt-adjacent GOP ghoul wins, but their baggage leaks too, cause there's plenty. Cawthorn and now Edwards down for sex impropriety is starting to feel like a Defense Against the Dark Arts curse on the seat. Is Ager Lupin, or do we skip to Umbridge? #asheville #nc11
NCGOP will prob tap a snake like Moffitt (but fingers x'd for Chad Nesbitt!) and he may win, but Ager as rep would give a lot of rednecks (no shade) a break in their Stockholm syndrome. Opportunity for durable change here. Worst case . . . (2/?)
After years of refusing to post about party politics, I just want to say that the black swan event of #NC11 turning as blue as Grandpa Smurf's denture solution is going to foster a bubbly brand of schadenfreude glee all across the craft-brewery'd plain. But long term, Ager's got to win the peace.1/2
"Accountability Desert" is a phrase we've needed for a long time. Also, I've got boots on the ground in Rocky Mt, NC and it was the first place I thought of when I saw this.
Julia Ritchey@juliaritchey.bsky.social · 3w agoOne of the best accountability and solutions journalism stories I've seen in a minute. Charleston's Post & Courier mapped all the accountability deserts across the state where corruption is most ripe and offers some ways to fix it (based on North Carolina 💪). www.postandcourier.com/news/special...

Another day sitting in the school pickup line feeling bitter and snarky. Do y'all remember @Dadpression on Twitter, back before the Nazis took it from us? Those were the days. #pickuplinelife
It's the Kidman/Urban split. Has everyone on edge.
Buncombe@buncombian.bsky.social · 10mo agoThere’s a man walking around my neighborhood shouting expletives and just raging in general. The kicker is, he seems to be rather violently shutting all the sliding side panels on the dumpsters around here and then closing their gates while yelling “disgusting” and “filthy people.”
This is fine.
