Ah got it — sorry, that row layout was the wrong direction. Let's undo it and go back to image on top, text below (stacked), just more compact so it doesn't feel elongated.
Step 1 — Delete the block you just added (the one with .nc{flex-direction:row} etc). Remove this whole thing:
css@media(max-width:640px){
  .nc{
    flex-direction:row;
    align-items:stretch;
  }
  .nc__thumb{
    width:110px;
    flex-shrink:0;
  }
  .nc__thumb img{
    height:100%;
    min-height:130px;
  }
  .nc__body{
    padding:.9rem 1rem;
  }
  .nc__h{
    font-size:1rem;
    -webkit-line-clamp:2;
    display:-webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-orient:vertical;
    overflow:hidden;
  }
  .nc__ex{
    display:none;
  }
  .nc__cat{
    display:none;
  }
}
@media(prefers-reduced-motion:reduce){
  *,*::before,*::after{animation-duration:.01ms!important;transition-duration:.01ms!important}
  .sr{opacity:1;transform:none}
}
