Inspired by cities with real, expansive transit systems, I’ve created an updated @CATSRideTransit fantasy map. It consists of Light Rail, Streetcars, Commuter Rail, Amtrak, BRT, and monorail. Below is an Area Map, a System Map, and an Uptown reference map.

Despite polls closing at 7:30, there will be no results posted for North Carolina until at least 8:15 pm. NCSBE voted to extend the voting time of the South Williams-Tabor City Courthouse precinct in Tabor City until 8:15 due to a technical issue at this precinct that slowed down voting. Two affidavits were filed that estimated 15-30 people left as a result. Voting has also been extended to 8 pm at the K8 Holloway Recreation Center in Kinston because the printer wasn’t working. A voter who works in Greenville left without being able to vote. Meeting still ongoing.

NCSBE emergency meeting notice at 2 pm. Watch: ow.ly/v9PR5103tnY. Meeting is routine protocol to review any issues at polling places & consider recommending extending voting hours at affected precincts. It's classified an emergency meeting per public notice requirements.

NCSBE is holding an emergency meeting to consider extending voting hours at several precincts. This happens almost every election and isn’t cause for panic. One of the precincts is on App State’s campus

Just in: The Hornets are teaming up with two real estate firms – Lincoln Property Company and Vision Ventures – to acquire Queen City Quarter, aka the EpiCentre.

Hay que tener cuidado y ser justo con las acusaciones a Owono. Me explico: Su temeridad ha acabado en tragedia porque además de su error, también ha habido una cadena de negligencias en los servicios médicos. Su acción es la principal causante de la desgracia pero no la única. Esto hay que tenerlo muy claro. Tacharlo de asesino me parece una barbaridad. El Fútbol es un deporte rápido y de contacto. Las decisiones se deben tomar en cuestión de segundos. Raro es el fin de semana que no hay algún choque parecido a este. La diferencia es que la mayoría afortunadamente acaban en golpes fuertes que no pasan a mayores. Y ahora yo le doy la vuelta a la jugada para que ustedes reflexionen: ¿Qué hubiese pasado si Owono en el momento clave de la acción se hubiese apartado para evitar el choque? Pues que la jugada hubiese acabado en gol del Tenerife y el portero hubiese sido altamente criticado por 'salir a por uvas'. Con esto lo que quiero hacer ver es que es muy fácil dejarse llevar por la corriente acusadora cuando ocurre una desgracia de este tipo pero luego los aficionados somos los primeros que estamos con el cuchillo preparado y afilado para criticar sin piedad los errores propiamente futboleros. Pero hay que saber mirar la imagen en panorámico y meterse en los zapatos de los demás. No me gustaría ser ahora mismo Owono. Una decisión en centésimas de segundo ha costado la vida de un compañero, algo que le perseguirá en su cabeza el resto de su vida. Debe ser sancionado y seguramente su castigo sea ejemplar. Nosotros como aficionados debemos condenar la temeridad de la acción y nada más. Owono no quería acabar con la vida de un compañero. Owono no es un asesino. Reflexionen antes de disparar.

Driving bans, arrests, sue the offending driver into oblivion. Why do we tolerate such daily incompetence?
◙UPDATE: Too many people are trying to access the feed at one time, causing it to be a little jumpy, but you can still see, I-77 NB before exit 33 Mooresville, is SHUT DOWN.

We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Subway ridership on Marathon Sunday was over 3.1 million, the largest Sunday in RECORDED @MTA HISTORY. Above ground and below, New Yorkers were on the move in record numbers!

So this kind of got big lol. Here's a followup. First, it was a minor inconvenience, we were stuck for 5-10 minutes, so It was not the end of the world. I was frustrated at first, 5 seconds of panic, and then I just had to laugh. In the beginning of the video a girl is laughing/shouting "I Have to go to the bathroom" which is hilarious and not many people noticed that. The metro guy was very friendly. He hustled to get us out. He was very apologetic. The crowd had just had a very very very long 1 hour 45 minute metro ride home, but everyone was still friendly to the guy. The metro ride home was more annoying than being locked in because it took twice as long as usual. So when I saw the lock, I was like "of course!" lol. No, Dan Quinn is NOT running the metro, despite the speculation from fans.
Washington commanders fans get locked in the metro. It took so long for the train to get home that by the time it arrived at the final station, there were no employees there and all the doors were locked. So tons of people were just trapped. It normally takes like an hour to get home on the metro but today it took two hours. So everybody was already like frustrated. Thank goodness the commanders won lol Anyways, your final update, somebody showed up and let us out. The game ended at 11:27 PM and I got home at 1:59 AM. I may never Metro again lol

The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

"Trunk or Treat" represents one of the most depressing examples of the breakdown of the traditional neighborhood and the rise of car culture. In "trunk-or-treat," parents drive kids to a parking lot so kids can walk from car to car and grab candy out of the driver's candy bowl. In a traditional neighborhood, kids set out from their homes, trick-or-treating nearby and walking up to greet neighbors at threshold of their homes.
These kids have never heard of trunk or treat

This loser wasted the time of 6 city cops because he decided it was worth it to skip a $3 fare. Pay your fare, losers.
If you thought the NYPD couldn’t be even more useless, it takes six cops to detain a person for fare evasion. Then another three to slam someone against a wall for $3.

Here’s the explanation - remember @wmata isn’t actually normally open this late on Sunday nights and the system becomes exit only when they do special things like this

According to video footage, last customers from that train were exiting the mezzanine around 1:43 am, at which time the station manager followed those customers to allow them to exit via the outside gate. The total time the customers were unable to exit was less than 10 minutes.
