Every day, as my departure this summer becomes more and more real, I could about cry that I"m going to leave New Orleans, but also, every single day I find myself seeing something that makes me think "I gotta get the fuck out of this state". #nolasky

70% taxes on the highest tax bracket from 1980 / 1981.

I am at the Tree of Life in Audubon Park. There's a wedding starting to set up. I'll likely leave soon. Both of the young women photographers who are shooting the wedding also have vintage super 8 cameras for shooting video. #nolasky #photography #cameragear

#nolasky I can't imagine Calvin wouldn't be a shoo in for this office after what the state did to him.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

I recently bought my cats a rope basket. Onion is a fan. #photography #caturday

The man just made himself the face of racism in America

The lib dems. Really?

70% of people in jails are awaiting trial.

The white moderate is a road to nowhere.

This week, Donald Trump asked a child, "You think you could take me in a fight?" So we at @today.yougov.com obviously polled Americans on the topic. Our results:

Talk about barking up the wrong tree. (whether it's a scam or legit) #fuckice

"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works

Does anyone have any reference photos or movies for visual inspiration for modern urban horror set in the 70s? Not something set in a period mansion (Legend of Hell House) or a place that the occult invades (The Exorcist), but one where the 70s modern occultist is actually hanging their hat. Thanks!

Sometimes, randomly bopping through actors' credits in IMDB, you uncover some truly cringe worthy shit that not only got made in the 80s and 90s, but got equivalent to 2-3 seasons in modern television. Air America. Good guy "undercover" agents starring Lorenzo Lamas. www.imdb.com/title/tt0170...

new Live Laugh Love dropped

Happy 504 Day #nolasky

You know, I don't wanna be that guy, but if the restaurant across the street had to turn into a music venue for only one night out of the last several Jazz Fests, fuckers coulda done it on Saturday night. The band is really good, but they have a PA and open windows and I need 2 go 2 bed before long.

HELL FUCKING YEAH CALVIN Calvin Duncan cleared to take office after federal judge grants TRO www.wwltv.com/article/news... www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Here's an idea that's occasionally surfaced in my head when prompted for ~30 years. In an alternate universe, @alyankovic.bsky.social's 90s Amish themed rap parody wouldn't have been the Coolio song. It would have been about the Rumspringa and done to the tune of Wreckx-n-Effect's "Rump Shaker".

Slightly diminish a book - Gödel, Escher, Bic: A Disposable Plastic Thing

A thing to troubleshoot at some point is the plug-in or combo of plugs-ins that lets me have a featured image on my blog posts & crossposts them to bluesky breaks if I add a specific message or hashtags to the bluesky post. You may see these twice until I figure that out. #photography #nolasky

Beautiful Day, Nice Walk I took advantage of this gorgeous day to walk about an hour and twenty minutes from mid morning to noon. I shot half a cartridge of 110 film and took some cell phone and HTC Re shots as well. Some of those are here.

Super nice day. Managed to get 4 day old chocolate chip cookies from the huge day old basket at Levee this morning plus a prosciutto, fig jam, and mozz sandwich to come back for at lunch & get hot pressed. Went for an 80 minute walk & shot half a roll of 110 plus a bunch of cell & HTC re pics, too.

The Catholic Cemeteries by the Fest have a sign that says “listen to the music forever” with an ad to get your plot near the fairgrounds. I love my city. #nolasky #nolatwitter

#Overheard in Audubon Park just now: Fitness Lady 1: I'd rather, like, marry a younger guy that I like- Fitness Lady 2: You could be like my mom and marry... (Moves out of range) #nolasky

Took my Sony camera out to get my first rainy shots of the #v60crosscountry, a thing I always enjoy doing for the first time. I swear the car is gray. #sonyohotography #carphotos #wagon #carspotting #automotive #volvo #volvocars #wagonlife #photography

For every meal a food bank provides, SNAP delivers 9 — at the same cost. The average SNAP recipient is only on the program for two years. Listen to my convo with @grangerforla.bsky.social & @danielle-nava.bsky.social here. #SNAPWorks #FoodSecurity #Conrad4Congress #Election2026

The war against black and brown people is one of the hottest fronts in the class war. If you don't get that, you're not really paying attention and you're missing out on a key piece of the history of activism against Jim Crow, segregation, mass incarceration, and police brutality in this country.

This is another thing that you should be well aware of, especially if you're anything of a weather nerd. I've seen and noticed the shift in my lifetime, lived in some places "that didn't get tornadoes" and then did. Nice to see it documented/proven. #climatechangeisreal #climateemergency

Straight up, fuck you, Andy Serkis.

This Weeks Onion Magazine: You’re Not Wrong, Babies Are Getting Worse: Enshittification Comes For A Once-Beloved Classic

That person's the same moron who would've said this about Virginia and Georgia recently, Colorado in the not too distant past, and even California in my lifetime. Fuck the people who live there. Fuck doing the work to change things. Just jettison the places where I'm not currently winning.

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

1/2 I was telling people in a friends slack yesterday that despite my many misgivings about him, if I wanted to be sure to retire Susan Collins this year, I'd probably vote for Platner in the primary. After my initial wave of revulsion to some of the shady things about him, I've still followed...

For the sake of all that's good, please help get rid of this vile man by donating to his challenger @doitjewett.bsky.social who would make an AMAZING rep For Louisiana AND America!

I went in a dramatically different car direction. #automotive #photography

This decision in Louisiana vs. Callais was the death blow for any hope of maintaining even the promise of multiracial democracy in the USA in my lifetime. #votingrights

The text of a Facebook post I wrote in 2022: The fundamental difference between the US left and the US right is that the left believes that government can and should be used to help people while the right believes it can and should be used to hurt and punish people.

The British did a better job of renovating the White House than Trump is doing.
