Really should have expected a new Shaun King grift to drop right about now

Does anybody know if anybody in New Orleans makes crawfish boil soup dumplings — and if not can somebody do this stat?

There’s not much reason to go to Baton Rouge unless you are a strip mall aficionado who loves traffic. Aside, that is, for its two Whataburger locations which honestly make the drive and traffic (almost) worth it.

A great piece by @sravits.bsky.social of @gambitweekly.bsky.social and easily replicatable at any alt-weekly. Just find the gadfly at your local council meetings.

Felt like I saw this newspaper piece before... and I did? But in the alt weekly? 🤔

I'd rather the Swifties come back. They were actually shopping and dining and partying here and not just going from private event to private event.

Meanwhile … And the irony is that nobody will care what any of the actual experts say in like 2 days. But it’ll be too late cause their bosses are either bad or terrified, or they’re afraid it’ll be too late because of same, so they don’t talk. This isn’t how any of this should work!

Well this was fucking fast

Royce Duplessis confronts Helena Moreno about donor email at New Orleans mayoral TV debate www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

This story on a possible lynching is so poorly written, mostly for the “Mississippi police say it was suicide so why are you people acting funny” language. Presupposing cops’ reliability is journalistic malpractice, especially in these sorts of circumstances www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Here are Royce Duplessis’ mayoral campaign talking points for talking to Black voters in New Orleans www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

Space 1999 is the only correct answer

THIS is a better story on the Fox 7 poll than Fox 8 wrote if ya have a login for the TP’s stuff. it doesn’t have the actual poll linked but they don’t own the poll so that’s not surprising.

How high on tech bro cocaine do you need to be to say some simple minded shit like this

Polling is a really shady biz, but this Fox 8 poll story is even worse. The headline says it shows who’s leading. THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SHOWS. It shows who is most favorably recognized. That isn’t the same as who these people are voting for. I Suspect the poll … www.fox8live.com/2025/09/12/n...

This is excellent and more papers should do something like this. Proud of the staff at @gambitweekly.bsky.social for hitting it out of the park every week when so many alt-weeklies have been hollowed out.

Here’s our breakdown of the latest campaign finance reports in New Orleans’ mayors race www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

These are so lovely. We have such a beautiful, thoughtful, talented community and we deserve a government that’s worthy of it.

1. This made me cry (in a good way) 2. Boils my blood how unaffordable the city has become 3. Where else in the country can you get married next to a pothole and it’s cool/fun/normal??

When we 1st decided to ask New Orleans voters what they want the next mayor to do, I wasn't sure how thoughtful folks might take it, though I had high hopes. And man, they really surpassed those hopes with these answers. www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

We asked a diverse group of New Orleans voters what they want to see the next mayor do on day one, what sorts of aspirational projects they should tackle and how to stop the population bleed. Here's their answers www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

It’s been a long time since I studied this stuff so if there’s anyone outchere who knows — didn’t Congress pass laws in the early 80s making assassinations illegal or otherwise tightly control that behavior, which became part of the Iran Contra situation? @kevinmkruse.bsky.social, am I way off base

Any journalist who lets this guy talk without backing up everything he says with at least 3 sources isn’t worth the paper their shitty j school degree is printed on and is never to be trusted

When Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett gather at Bush-Gore recount legal team reunions, they decry politics encroaching on the law.

It is beyond insane that Donald Trump just murdered a bunch of people on a boat and nothing is happening other than him announcing military takeovers of major Black cities.

Read this. Proud of my former paper for describing this in clear, accurate terms.

Crime in Baton Rouge has been worse, but our mayor is a white republican guy.
