for centuries there have been stories by Māori about a green glow from the forest floor, which were written off as superstition because no Europeans ever saw them ... it turns out there's a bioluminescent fungi, mycena roseoflava, whose dim glow can't usually be seen due to light pollution.

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

Get it out of your head that we are having free and fair elections in 2026. Texas is the model. This right here is tyranny. That's not an exaggeration. They won't do this everywhere, but they'll do it in enough places to ensure they win a majority.
