@alexsands_ @brad_briner @zeanes No thanks. We need competition. Not monopolies. Healthcare is already expensive enough.

Raleigh's WakeMed is seeking to merge with Atrium Health. State officials are already calling for scrutiny of the deal. "[W]hen suppliers consolidate and competition is reduced it is the consumers who suffer," Treasurer @brad_briner said. @zeanes axios.com/local/raleigh/…

@JeffJacksonNC competition is good, right? We already know our healthcare system is terrible, and it's getting more expensive with additional consolidation. These are monopolistic practices. axios.com/local/raleigh/…

@weatherchannel @wxbrad

Stunning video shows an ultra rare phenomenon of iridescent clouds, which appears when sunlight interacts with lingering raindrops in the air after it rains.

@WhiteHouse What a joke of an administration. And a huge embarrassment.

@DirtyTesLa Let me just throw a random hypothetical at you that will never occur in most people's lifetime.

If anyone was curious

@RtaxiTracker I'm confused by the website/data. Is there a bug or did one Austin Supervised turn into an Unsupervised? I thought two were discovered today based on the chart, but only see the details on one (sorted by Recently Discovered)

@CMPD @CLTgov care to do anything?…

Only a 3 mile round trip. At least 2 blatant red lights ran. 1) If you’re in the intersection when it turns green for the other direction, you easily ran the light. 2) A bit outside the full video view, but a full cars length behind me when the left arrow hit red. Still went

@CltLedger if neighbors can keep residents honest over water violations, why can't we apply the same logic for traffic violations? Reckless driving poses a much greater risk (e.g. injury or death) to community members. @CLTgov @CMPD @JoeBrunoWSOC9

@SawyerMerritt @DillonLoomis @RtaxiTracker And most of the ones discovered today were discovered via automated data sync by @RtaxiTracker Folks, get the app and turn on the feature.

@themichaelkonen @DillonLoomis @RtaxiTracker People should count all they want. We’ve been waiting for this shit for 10 years lol

@SawyerMerritt up to 32 now! @DillonLoomis I know we're not supposed to be counting, slightly lame, but the needle is starting to move ever so slightly @RtaxiTracker

@thogge Yesterday was April 1st, not May 1st. Right?!

Every day we get closer to running out of unique sentences ever typed.

@Red_on_Bottom How big? How many ounces (ish)?

$19 without beer. $12 with beer.

@unusual_whales 🤣🤣🤣

Scott Bessent: “Trump has shown that he is good at getting energy prices down”

@verge Still not Tech…Let your parent company @voxmedia cover this. Stay in your lane. The demise of a once great brand.

@JeffJacksonNC This is a great recent video on how our voting system is flawed. It's shocking how things have changed in the past 20 years. This needs to be addressed as it's driving the wedge. Highly recommend a watch by ex-WaPo, Vox, NYT journalist @Max_Fisher youtu.be/LJefxb2dSMY?si…

This interview with former Senator Ben Sasse is strong stuff. He’s using the time he has left to speak honestly about life and politics, and a big part of his challenge to us is to find a way to repair our political conversation. One of his main points is that the addiction to outrage that social media has fueled has done nothing to help us reach practical solutions to hard problems. He's absolutely right about that, and I really respect that his final political project is conveying genuine hope and encouragement that we lift ourselves to meet this moment as friends, neighbors, and citizens.

@ewarren @Thiss_Youu feel like there is a good one here somewhere.

The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market. Fewer choices = higher prices for you.

@DillonLoomis @Tesla @MidwestSafetyYT @CLTgov @CltLedger @JoeBrunoWSOC9 instead of allowing city employees to drive one of the safest cars on the road, city council decided to block the use of these vehicles due to political reasons. A massive disservice to city employees on the road.

New bodycam footage from a brutal head-on collision shows officers on scene praising Tesla's safety "That car is amazingly safe" "Oh, Tesla saved her life" Still the most underrated aspect of @Tesla 🎥 @MidwestSafetyYT

Almost every single time I get in my car, I see a traffic violation. And I’m not even driving far. Just now on 11th Street. Not one. Or even two. But three cars run the red light. And @CLTgov & @CMPD are completely OK with it. Why no one follows any rules anymore. @JoeBrunoWSOC9

@jobyaviation @flybladenow @wiesenthal Such a great acquisition!

When we acquired @flybladenow's passenger business in 2025, we gained a team that has spent more than a decade proving that vertical flight belongs in the fabric of New York City. This week, the BLADE team welcomed our electric air taxi into the network they built. From the Downtown Skyport to BLADE Lounge East and BLADE Lounge West, every flight was made smoother by their hospitality, their expertise, and their commitment to showing New Yorkers what comes next. The future of vertical flight in this city is electric. And thanks to BLADE, it has a foundation to build on.
