Thinking about the pyro expert company sales guy, who didn't have to try to upsell anything and wasn't going to attempt to reason that at a certain point the show would reach saturation. Love an easy contract. (This is not a knock on the company - the customer is always right 🤷‍♀️)

Brb screaming into the void

Not bad, Minneapolis. Not bad.

WHY IS THIS ONE SCHEDULED

Swamp fireworks

So who can actually see the D.C. show? The White House lawn?

"LET US IN!!"the crowd screamed, and I did manage to get a video of this as my phone began to die "Open the gates, retard!" someone yells

This tactic must be on the pages following flash bangs, tear gas, and other methods used to clear crowds thus far in 2026

Underground transformers exploded. Evacuating around the area too I believe. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSaD6FjH/

Not to be outdone - Bourbon St popping off 🔥

Hey chat I think NYC is the capital now.

What was the polymarket line for 5th of July fireworks

I've never seen listing exceptions, like medication side effects, get an applause.

I'll be live tweeting my favorite inspirational Moira Rose quotes: "You are living an exciting new chapter in the book on tape of your life."

America!

So here for this scheduled tweet of NOLAdotCOM article from 2023 Debate:

Is D.C. holding the fireworks until after he speaks??

Live shot here

First 4th without a dog since I was 25. These things sneak up on you sometimes. 🎆

everyone sheltering at the Canadian embassy is *chef’s kiss*

In lieu of fireworks, please enjoy these alliums, which are kind of like fireworks, only better 🎆🌿 Alliums in Central Park, May 2026

No one asked these questions, but sure if you’re wondering, New Orleans pre-dates D.C. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Did they forecast … a great flood? The greatest flood?

He won’t be able to handle if NY gets their show off and not his

I love all you meteorologists and I’m so sorry you’ll get blamed for this either way.

And the band played on

The Louisiana booth should have just been the emergency managers who direct Jazz Fest weather closures. There were a few wild weather days this year.

The government has been more than happy to use crowd dispersing tactics thus far in 2026.

The free market will sort this out just fine - you have 17 minutes to find and pay for shelter because the gov has left you out in the storm.

This is what we are up against, folks. In emergency management, but also in general

Some state fair expertise or festival expertise may have been a good contract to secure

The AP-er in me hates that they call that guy "Dr. Joe"

Across all sports, I don't think refs should have to physically break up adult players.

Heavy, condensed rainfall is the nation’s greatest weather threat. Stay safe, know your elevation.

The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...

You can’t get much more American than the free press. In March, I founded Lamplighter News to cover the intersections of education, climate and health in New Orleans. And explain how news in the country’s weathervane is almost always relevant nationwide. www.lamplighter.news/p/welcome-to...

“Meaningless possession” should replace the charge of misdemeanor possession

Someone get out on the Mall with red cards.

That woman is all of us. (Well, not enough of us.)
