I'm just a simple man but I think one relatively easy and effective thing to do right now if you consider yourself a decent person who finds our current reality unacceptable would be to boycott the NFL. Stop buying official merch, stop going to games, stop tuning in.

Amazing that this guy was the future Tony Stark.

If anyone is wondering what my week's been like, I'm *really* looking forward to cleaning the rat shit from behind my washing machine this weekend.

911 is out, so schedule your emergencies accordingly.

Absurd notion, right? But Kimmel has a golden opportunity here to pull what you might call a "Zelenskyy."

Bruh I bet y'all didn't know Arthur Hardy went this hard (as Brother Martin band director circa 1975).

Evergreen post since 2001.

Me describing my schedule over the next couple weeks trying to get the @antigravitymag.bsky.social October issue and voter guide published almost simultaneously.

Happy regular season to all who celebrate.

Nothing quite as humbling as having Buffalo Exchange reject 100% of the clothes you bring in.

My BFF-SFAM @kellyem.bsky.social sent me this email from 8/31/2005 and what you kiddos need to understand is if it sounds like a telegram, it practically was. I had to find "Wi-Fi" for my "laptop" way back in 2005 and that could've easily taken days back then.

That crazy psychic wind you're feeling is a million people (give or take) all simultaneously time traveling 20 years into the past.

Seeing Fugazi on their home turf at Malcolm X park in DC, 1996. I think the guitar player from Nation of Ulysses / The Makeup did a DJ set.

My journalism career began when I responded to a Craigslist ad seeking a team of reporters to cover New Orleans charter school boards for $50 per meeting. The Lens' Charter School Reporting Corps monitored adherence to sunshine laws during the rapid expansion of charter schools. We set the tone.

Thank you @wadrewhawkins.bsky.social for getting my good side.

If you want to know what it's like on the last day of production of a magazine before it goes to the printer, insert an 8" splinter under your skin somewhere and slowly pull it out over a 16 hour period.

I feel the same way about the Katrina anniversary as I do about my high school reunion. I lived here then and I live here now, so no strong desire to commemorate what I remember and interact with almost every day.

Petition to make the typo "questinos" a real word. Like, "I just got a few little questinos for you, won't take long."

If you're not doing anything tonight (Saturday 8/16) check me out at @courtyardbrew.bsky.social from 6-10, this is my last market with @noladeco.bsky.social before I move to my big boy spot at Left Bank on Tchoup. Nothing over $20 and most stuff $10 and under.

The 4-year-old has forsaken one beloved stuffie for the new beloved stuffie. And it's a little more heartbreaking to watch than I would expect.

Funny thing about this letter to the editor (which is beautiful btw) is it's the *second* time we've gotten an email like this from an immigrant/foreign national who was mesmerized not only by ANTIGRAVITY but by Oak Street as well. It's kind of the sleeper hit section of town.

Latest newsletter is out, check it out for info on upcoming sales and events, including a couple of NOLA DECO tabling events. myemail.constantcontact.com/NOLA-DECO-at...

First time at Buc-ees. OMG it's fucking hell on Earth, a human ant pile. What is wrong with y'all???

I don't know if anyone will get this but I thought it was funny.

Let's not forget in this moment of local media solidarity the work that @thelensnola.bsky.social does, some of the finest in local reporting for a post Katrina New Orleans. Sign up for their newsletter and get powerful stuff like this from publisher @karen70118.bsky.social:

Boomernomics: my parents wanted a Bowflex so did they just order one? Nope, they got their Boomer friend in Florida to buy one cheap off of eBay and then drove there from New Orleans to pick it up.

Me getting ready to describe to anyone who will listen how fascinated I am by this Billy Joel documentary.

Gotta love the SDT French Quarter trash pick up story. A whole lot of man hours and media space burned so that things can stay exactly as they were. As @skookses.bsky.social might say, get used to more stories like this.

You shouldn't fuck over anybody, but you *really* shouldn't fuck over Bella Blue.

Please excuse the numerous OSHA violations going on here.

It's been an emotional month. Thank you ANTIGRAVITY readers and our community at-large. You really stepped up.

Still obsessed. One thing about the Billy Joel era and his music is that it's 100% analog. Nothing but pure musicianship, organic songwriting, not a computer in site. Barely any stage production. No bullshit. Refreshing in this day and age.

There was a time when Robert De Niro playing two separate roles in a Barry Levinson-directed period gangster film, with some of your favorite Sopranos supporting actors, would be a seismic cinematic event. But Alto Knights seems to have come and gone, just another drop in the "content" bucket.

I grew up in the 80s so Billy Joel was as ubiquitous as water to the point where I think of it as Dentists office music. But I am invested in this documentary. Hell of a story.

If you're of a certain vintage, don't watch that new Billy Joel documentary unless you're ready for the earworm explosion.

Some incredibly nice things said about @antigravitymag.bsky.social and other local outlets. For such a swampy backwater we have a deep and storied media culture, would love to keep it that way.

They need to put out a whole album of JB accompanying some BB hits and call it Batistie Boys.

Can we just start calling him Trumpstein?

24 hour marathon of The Wire on HBO so I'm rotating between being ultra productive and not at all.

This is one thing we do: give brilliant writers a foot in the door. We are lucky to have Danny on board and hope to continue bringing up the next generation of writers, journalists, photographers, illustrators, and anyone passionate about documenting life here in South Louisiana.

I’m very happy to appear in print in #Antigravity, which is indie in content and concept. I love being part of a radical enterprise where you can see writers take full swings on a regular basis
