Google Maps often provides some fun pronounciations. The Google Maps lady says Mebane as "muh-BIN" but I just asked the Google assistant (different voice) who pronounced it "ME-BAYN"
Know there's a lot going on right now, but if you need an escape, I wrote about the Ochocinco-Raleigh thing. If you think you've heard someone mangle a North Carolina pronunciation worse than he did, I urge you to call and leave me a voicemail www.ncrabbithole.com/p/this-is-an...
This is an incredible way to pronounce "Raleigh"
A former NFL wide receiver has been to North Carolina's capital city, and yet he pronounced it in a way that I've never heard before. If you can top it, give me a call

Not going to link to the video. You can find it and see for yourself.
The car was stopped. The "cop" who shot her literally stepped aside as he fired his first shot then fired twice more into her open window as she attempted to drive past him. Do not believe when DHS says "self-defense".

The whole damn final episode went hard: Hawkeye and the chicken, Charles and the band, BJ and Hawk saluting Potter.
But as for an actual *ending* scene that becomes the lasting image of a series, this is the 🐐

I've been preparing for a week to self-loathe and hate-watch the Falcons/Saints game because I know the Panthers would do exactly what they are doing right now.

Yeah but what if Freddie is unplayable?
Bad injury news for the Carolina Hurricanes: Pyotr Kochetkov is out for the season after surgery. The goalie trade talk is already loud, but the smarter move? Ride Brandon Bussi, hope Freddie Andersen rebounds — and add a veteran scorer. linktr.ee/ogtriangleme...

Welp it's on to Tampa. Offense with a complete stinker today. 14 points off short field turnovers against the likely top seed in the NFC is suboptimal.

Can confirm. We had 2 of its Chrysler Town and Country predecessors for a total of 18 years and just traded last week for a new crossover since the kids are grown and NGL missing the van. With all the seats down it was big as a cargo van. Drove that thing all over the country.
we rented a chrysler pacifica for our trip down to see my folks after christmas and i now totally get why people like minivans. this thing rules.

You've got so many folks out there claiming to be Christians yet failing to do for least among us as Christ commanded and then there's the GOAT, Rick Steves. Literally putting his money where his mouth is and using his wealth to help folks
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I don't think there's enough reporting on the devastating impacts Mango's trade war with Canada. Was recently in Tampa and rental car counter was dead and CSR said it was like that even at Thanksgiving because Canadians aren't coming to the US. Great job by the stable genius.
It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

The Thin Red Line. Critics slurped Terrence Malick's directorial return but it was a mushed up 3-hour mess. About 2 hours in, came to a break in the plot and a big pull away camera shot. Looked like the end then jumped and went on 45 more mins. Never heard an entire theater moan in unison before.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

The most effective thing Mango did the first few weeks was throw some reporters out. Access means more to them than dignity or solidarity so they will just take whatever he shovels. The White House press corps version of bending the knee.

Enough. The White House press corps must him out
