Louisiana Early Vote: SATURDAY - 364K total votes, on track for 508K-551K. We'll likely pass the 2019 governor's runoff (504K) - Ds win the day by 10.6K, erasing (and then some) all R gains since Wednesday - Black voters were 42% of Saturday's vote (now 34% overall) - Rs are now behind pace in EBR

Some fun langiappe. New Orleans is close to making May 2016 primary early voting and is on track to meet other milestones such as the 2025 mayoral race and 2019 JBE runoff election. 🤞🏽in the 28-32k range after Saturday. Take a friend to a early voting second line!

Day 3 (10/22 Results) Y'all still vote tho! Day/day increase 32%. Black voters overperforming (.59%). DEM voters overperforming (6.7%) but the lead is shrinking. Orleans #3 in vote count. District D winning in Orleans. Predicting Saturday turnout will pass Nov 2022 primary & possibly JBE 2019.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

My phone has always been inundated with GOP spam texts. No matter how many numbers I blocked, it was nonstop. Most recently I was getting a dozen+ Paxton texts daily. Today is the first day in a long time I have not received any GOP texts. Silence is bliss. 😌

Quick question - where in New Orleans has a thick juicy burger? Nothing against a smash burger but the craving is thick patty

I don’t know how to represent the noise that I just made in letters so I’m just gonna let y’all imagine it

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Meta’s LA data center will use “more than four times the electricity used to power all of New Orleans on the hottest summer day.” !!!!!!

The 7a Wednesday: Now a named storm, Isaias' track has shifted east. Expected to become a hurricane in the next 24 hours. "Interests," that's us and through the panhandle, should prep.

I remember a time when hurricanes used to start off the coast of Africa and we tracked them for WEEKS! Now these mfs getting a rolling start in Mexico!

Welcome to your October 2026 ANTIGRAVITY! We open with a riff on time, enter charming and balanced Libra season, remove smelly stains from our sofas, exorcise our disdain for the paranormal, grieve and recover from pregnancy loss, and endorse (controlled) flamethrowing in our gardens.

All this rain is throwing off my bulk fermentation for sourdough cinnamon rolls I’m making for friends. 😣 Getting crafty with a DIY sourdough proofing box. 🤞

FYI #nolasky Hurwitz Mintz was slammed & overwhelmed with the surge of customers. Once news of the store closing hit social media & local news this morning, demand exploded. If you go, be prepared for long lines, the store AC struggling to keep up, and the HM sales team doing the best they can. 🙏

Long shot: Do I know anyone on here who's good with audio design / audio editing? I would like to hire someone for a tiny project -- a one-minute loop of spooky ambient sounds, like using stock audio -- but it's gotta happen today, as the deadline is tonight. I had someone but they totally flaked.

Just out here on Bourbon already getting emotional waiting for The Krewe of Dolly’s Memorial Parade for our beloved Dolly Parton. 🥹

At Ochsner for my mom’s appointment. A nurse called a patient name, and an elderly couple walked up. The nurse asked how they were doing and the man said, “I’m fat and sexy, how about yourself?” The nurse was clearly thrown by that and said, “Alright, follow me.” 😂

Yesterday was the 56-year anniversary of when the NOPD rolled into the Desire Projects of New Orleans with a tank & guns & had a stand-off with the NOLA Black Panthers, which I detail in the story linked in OP. It all started after the mayor had two Black police officers infiltrate the Panthers.

four years later and I still think this is the best nonfiction piece I've ever written. I talked about the racial climate in America (largely New Orleans) that led to a Black vet going to war against the NOPD. Research required: 6 books, a plethora of 60s and 70s reporting, and a documentary.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
