If you follow #redistricting in #ncpol (specifically, in the #ncga), you've come across reference to the "Stephenson" county clustering rule

@mapblake.bsky.social's resource is the best explainer I've seen of how this process works. It's still here & free. For now. As Marc Maron would say--do it up

The Hidden Cost of Child Care Gaps in North Carolina’s Economy Lack of access to affordable, high-quality child care is a barrier to labor force participation for working parents in North Carolina and affects our state’s economy. In 2024, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the NC Chamber Foundation, and NC Child released Untapped Potential in NC, a statewide study that estimated that child care-related work disruptions cost North Carolina’s economy $5.65 billion annually, driven by $4.29 billion in employer costs and $1.36 billion in lost tax revenues.

nadequate child care funding creates a harmful ripple effect across North Carolina’s economy and well-being. It’s time for #NCGA leaders to prioritize child care funding in our state budget. #LoveNCFundNC

This made me laugh.

I see where this meme is going, and it is fairly accurate, but I would say there has been crossover of kinds in late modernist thinking. For instance, Husserl’s work in phenomenology took him to eidetic reduction, which essentially holds intuition as foundational to knowledge.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the points being made. I just find it ironic.

I do find this a bit ironic given the same institutions were all too ready to limit and deny academic freedom when it came to individuals not willing to advance its particular brand of orthodoxy several years back.

From the start, America chose debate over silence. Our Founders showed us that open discussion leads to progress. It’s time for independent voters in NC to join the conversation! 🗣️✨ #ProudToBeAnAmerican #NCVoters

We've heard it this week from voters: “I support what you’re doing, but I’m afraid voting Forward helps the extremes.” This fear stems from winner-take-all elections. Instant Runoff Elections can change that by allowing ranked choices! 🗳️ Let's push for meaningful election reform! #ElectionReform

Republicans may have a slight edge in NC voter registration, but the real headline is the rise of unaffiliated voters—39% and growing! This isn’t apathy; it’s a call for change. Let’s listen and lead! 💪🗳️ #NCPolitics #VoterVoice #ChangeIsComing

Being American means embracing our differences. The Constitution encourages debate and compromise, shaping our democracy. In NC, independent voters hold the power to decide our future. Let’s celebrate this spirit! 🇺🇸 #ProudToBeAnAmerican #NCVoters

Evan Hess joined the Arrington Gavin Show for a deep dive into leadership and civic responsibility. 🤝 It's time to prioritize accountability and put country over party. 🇺🇸 Tune in for a healthy democracy! 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch #NCVoters #ForwardParty #CountryOverParty

Had a great time with the team. Let’s keep pushing #Forward

Grateful for the inspiring ideas and leadership at the NC Forward Party Leadership Meeting! Excited about ballot access in 2026 and supporting Forward-aligned candidates in 2025. Special thanks to April Montgomery for her strong leadership! 🙌 #NCVoters www.aprilmontgomeryfornc.com/sign

Day #2 at the Gun Show has been very successful. Ton of signatures.

Best moment of the day was speaking to the Vendor next to us…He asked “what are you here for?” We said, “working to strengthen our democracy.” He patted the guns he had for sale and said “So am I.”

I saw this and, as someone that is both European and American, I think it is appropriate to stand with Greenland on this one.

Pretty much
