In light of the Globe's brilliant lesbian bar story, putting out a call to all reporters, especially local ones: please share your quirky features! Weird characters, offbeat locales, bizarre grudges, idiosyncratic policies, cranky gadflies--we want to read about it!

In NC-11, GOP nominee Jennifer Balkcom is airing an almost entirely AI-generated ad hitting opponent Jamie Ager for hosting drag performers at his farm in 2019.
No AI disclaimers on the ad, which features fake footage of Ager dancing with a drag queen.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force.
One used it for five years after retirement, spying on his wife during a custody battle.
Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy.

In a new interview, Ralph Norman says he'll stick with his promise to support Darline Graham as the #SCSEN GOP nominee — but:
“My family is not going to vote for Darline Graham. They’re just not."
And:
"No, I would not do an event with her, and I made that pretty clear."
