Meet Charles, the Norfolk, Va.-based “Lab-a-lion” whose owner-cut mane (in honor of Old Dominion University’s mascot) was so convincing, that people called 911, freaked out that it might be an actual lion. (In case you need some spelling out, it’s a dog.) Try topping that, other weird news stories today.

A video of the post from yesterday.

A black female naval officer has shattered a piece of the military’s glass ceiling. The Navy has promoted Michelle Janine Howard to the rank of three-star vice admiral, as she stepped into her new role as deputy commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces headquartered in Norfolk, Va.
She becomes the first African-American woman to achieve that rank.
This is the latest in a string of firsts for Howard, who was the first African-American woman to command a warship, the first female Naval Academy alum to reach the rank of rear admiral and the first African-American woman to be in charge of an Expeditionary Strike Group at sea.

Today in Black Herstory.

When people say “Nor-folk”

My mama always used this handy phrase to teach others how to pronounce Norfolk properly: “Neither drink, nor smoke, norfuck.” She’s a classy broad.
