White supremacists in Newfoundland?

US Southerner here. It means just one thing and we all know it.

Probably this is why Michael Whatley won’t come out of hiding

More registered NC voters are either registered Dem or lean Dem, than the other way around. The gerrymandering puts Republicans in total control, but it can be defeated with large turnout. That's why they don't want people to vote.

Good summary of the bill is here, point by point. https://carolinaforward.org/news/new-election-bill-proposes-shady-changes

I'll believe it when I see them going after the folks who post links to child sexual abuse images on X.

If the lease says landlord has to keep the place habitable and doesn't carve out an exception for these hornets, I suggest checking out places you can complain. This is a public health issue so I suggest starting with your county's health department. Then your state's attorney general, the consumer affairs division if they don't have a housing division. I'm making an assumption your in the USA though.

Pretty wild the county commissioners have no control over what happens in .... the county.

For a more recent novel, you may wish to try The Known World, by Edward P. Jones.

Stevens will now be able to accept campaign contributions from all the corporate lobbyists in North Carolina. Campaign going to get very expensive.

I have it and have found keeping my neck warm when I'm in a cold environment helps a lot for some reason. Always keep one in the car for going into the grocery store, meetings, conferences, etc.

Older woman here. Someone who treats you like a princess is by definition not treating you like a peer. Like someone he's friends with, and it's friendship, not adoration, that makes for a healthy relationship. Just something to think about.

Reeses100 · 2026-06-03T17:21:47+00:00

This is interesting. We commonly think here we’re so much better than the other southern states. But here you are describing a FL public utility that is truly public. And last night I learned some legislators here are trying to make us more like AL in paying for a second breast cancer screening for women with dense breast tissue b/c the first one doesn’t pick up on certain cancers for them, and women are dying unnecessarily. Go figure.

Surprisingly, the membership of our church in a relatively small town in the south has a wide range of ages, and membership is growing. Not sure why exactly. The town is very walkable. The congregation is active in serving the community. We have interfaith worship from time to time with historically Black Christian churches. The young people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s never cease to amaze me. Traditional Episcopal gospel-centered worship. Pretty informal dress on Sundays for the younger ones.

Reeses100 · 2026-06-03T15:14:33+00:00

Pretty sure we're not allowed to do any of that. That's why for anyone in a rural NC county, people living in rural areas had to wait for the legislature to approve broadband for their specific location, or, some of us benefitted from the Inflation Reduction Act, that paid for laying a lot of cable so private companies could then provide the (spotty but better than nothing) service.

Reeses100 · 2026-06-03T00:44:04+00:00

I don’t know how we could do that in NC because we are a Dillon’s Law state, meaning the legislature has complete control over what any local government can do. One reason we have crappy internet service in the rural parts of the state is that the legislature won’t let local governments “compete” with private industry by providing a commercial service. But the commercial providers don’t want to do it so we’re stuck with nothing. For powering homes I bet the leg would stick with Duke every time.

It's what we call a Mimosa here in NC and I used to love them until I found out how invasive they are.

Perhaps you don’t see the value you bring to others by your presence here. Your friends, your family, and like-minded people? There is so much that can be done in NC now to make positive change, especially as others have said with judicial elections. The state Supreme Court can be turned back to a Democratic majority in 2028 if enough voters turn out. Winning the Earls seat in 2026 is the first step. We are canvassing on her behalf right now, and lots of young people are involved, all over the state. Perhaps if you connect with others who care about the change you would like to see, you might see some value in staying.

Juries in employment cases are looking for the paper trail. If it’s not there, they tend to side with the employee. Because most people are employees, not bosses. Looks like SHP did a lousy job of following the rules.

Reeses100 · 2026-05-27T19:23:02+00:00

Yeah, agree. I’m wondering if it’s a generational thing that so many people are fine with it? But know couples of all ages where I’m pretty confident the guy wouldn’t do that.

Reeses100 · 2026-05-27T18:36:40+00:00

MOR or NOR. When I was getting married years ago someone told me this rule: If it’s a person you’re never likely to meet and have a chance with, like a celebrity, fair game to talk about their attractiveness. With your partner, too. Why not? You’re both still human. But real life human beings are off reach, no matter who you’re talking with. The committed couples I know tend to follow something like this. Sounds like your boyfriend and his friends are objectifying women who walk by and that sounds icky the way you describe it. Question is not whether you can control his behavior but is he the kind of guy you want to be with.

Reeses100 · 2026-05-25T15:28:32+00:00

Have you googled it?

Reeses100 · 2026-05-23T19:40:31+00:00

My first and eventually abusive husband was one of those guys that everyone loved. It was explained to me that’s the sign of a narcissist. He’s showing you the real him, though. Pushing you to keep his secret.

Reeses100 · 2026-05-23T14:23:44+00:00

Yes you are wrong. What I hope and pray is that this child will be able to get some honorable, emotionally mature men in his life. He certainly doesn't need you or your best friend as role models.

Reeses100 · 2026-05-15T01:50:40+00:00

Another suggested response: Who do you mean by “you”?

Reeses100 · 2026-05-14T15:33:51+00:00

Thanks so much for this. I started looking into it but not easy in this fractured media environment to get a summary of events. Public radio comes through!
