Do littering charges ratchet up based on the value of the liter?

Truly insane reworking of “professional” degrees. Nurses are the literal lifeline.

In micro/maybe macro New Orleans school updates. District's director of accountability, Max Daigh - Chief Data, Portfolio and Accountability - has left, per personnel records. He had a one year stint w/OPSB right after the Kennedy graduation scandal, left 2020, returned 8 months ago, left 5/8/26.

NOLA Public Schools superintendent asked what kind of feedback charter school leaders gave on the Charter School Accountability Framework: "They completely dismantled the aspects of where we were at that state." (in 2025)

In corporate renaming of things the "Comprehensive Evaluation" is becoming the "Enhanced Data Review"

Do the beach and the water ever really touch?

The star tribune's profile pic looks like the Onion and Mother Jones looks' like Click Hole out of the corner of my eye and both are equally possible most days.

I'll be on "Talk Louisiana" with Jim Engster this morning at 9:05 to discuss the recent Louisiana elections. www.wrkf.org/podcast/talk...

55 percent of qualified voters were women

I keep reading it as Trump REX … and oh man … don’t let him know there are kings that rule New Orleans streets for a day.

New from me: A study published today by JAMA backs up what providers have said for years about abortion bans and other restrictive laws affecting miscarriage patients as well.

In keeping with the American health care system.

This is more public engagement here — for renaming a building — than there was at any level of New Orleans school governance when it came to closing Douglass High School

I’m exhausted by passive, pass-the -buck statements

Scalise just endorsed ~

This is medieval times shit

If you're wondering if Ross Barkan's plagiarism was limited to NYMag: No, it was not. He's written for @nytimes.com 16 times. I looked at his most recent story, from last summer, about Zohran, clicked on a link in his context paragraph, et voilà. First: Barkan Second: @dankaufman70.bsky.social

Worked all weekend - I need the Bayou Boogaloo report?

Any Minneapolitan area folks want/able to take in an 8yo Australian shepherd mix? Uncle is having some medical issues and this pup needs a temporary and maybe permanent home.

If Mr. Bergside could spend every lunch break entering sentences from our high school essay into google to look for plagiarism imagine how quickly New York Magazine can complete this review.

In my day, we had to stand up to play video games Beautiful sight

Jasmine for good measure on a Sunday morning. Off to kidnap more plants for my flower (death)bed.

Going to pitch a ProPublica interactive that is just a video of whether and how easily I can open my front door each day. It’s the best indicator of drought.

We think of the Southeast as a water abundant place but these rapid changes between drought and flood are going to keep happening and it’s causing tremendous ecosystem stress

They’re rounding up for Cassidy

Longest bike ride in years. Thanks public infrastructure!! The connected park is lovely. All waterfront should be public ✨

Working on a story where this chronicling made the most sense

Oh god that blush line is .... no comment

I would love to get paid to give this expert analysis on TV: "we knew it would come down to who turned out to the polls"

Yet again, I'll point the coasties and northerners to Louisiana as the country's weathervane. And we all watch election results on Saturday night - how committed are y'all?

Oh yep...wasn't thinking about how much longer this lead time is

What...is the highest percentage a constitutional amendment has been rejected by

Jefferson Parish going for Cassidy

Dead heat for the democratic run-off

In love with this litmus test

This is going to be fascinating parish-by-parish analysis

In things you definitely care about: I can tie my hair back in a bun for the first time since brain surgery 💅

Very limited results in, but the parish-by-parish is interesting too Bill Cassidy only leads in the republican primary in three parishes: Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge and Jefferson

Ceremoniously removes the Geaux Vote app like the Parade Tracker

a trump administration official could stand in front of a burning building full of people and do nothing and the NYT would still call it “ethical issues”

Sometimes more horrifying than the acts itself are what they are reduced to in writing: ‘VIP snorkel’ That tells you everything you need to know.

Either I have a type or they do

Yesss The youth need gathering places where they can destroy pizza buffets

Ya see the lil story about your old neighbors down the block? youtu.be/seZaWs73y-8?...

People will point to Louisiana, where the Jena facility is located — but dozens of states send people there:

Through the normal course of reporting today ~ these words together are most definitely a band name: Redaction Batch

Oh?

I should know the answer to this and I don’t. No Party voters select whether either the republican, democrat, or no party ballot. You fill out a form to declare this. Does this lock you in any way for the general? Is it recorded w the Secretary of State in your record? Or only used in tallying?

Everywhere else it’s just Saturday
