Percy is done

Temperature just dropped 10+ degrees with wind gusts over 20mph. Something is coming.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

Loving a politician is dumber than falling for a stripper

Sea level rise combines with other factors to create extreme risk for this former swamp. These factors explain why.

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

If police drones are benign observers of what’s already public, why are their records state secrets?

Have someone that looks at you like this

House flowers, New Orleans

Build me an army worthy of Mordor!

Rain puddle reflection, S Claiborne at Jefferson, New Orleans

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

What Louisiana has and continues to do to Calvin Duncan is so fucked up. It's a wild story.

My impression on meeting with various disaster related organizations (government and non-government) around the state in the last two years, is that things have pretty much gone backwards since Katrina. Not in a linear way, but that is where we ended up

Paying every local influencer to be a hype man is superb media savvy. But at some point folks are going to look back and remember that last year was better than today

New Orleans has never been more in debt, more likely to flood, had more unsafe water, or more mass surveillance

Quote of the day: “OMG you drive a mini cooper and have a bomb ass dog. I’m going to be your wife”

Sometimes the little moments in life are beautiful. I suggested that I should be kind to someone unwell who has been harmful to me. That southern matriarch glare in response communicated to me untold wisdom

Knee is back 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve contemplated leaving NOLA. It’s tough fighting battles that no one cares about. But tonight reminded me of what I love about the city: my neighbors. They were all up in my business in ways I didn’t even know. And they spoke up when it mattered. I couldn’t be more grateful

New this week I looked at a pair of of new research papers that evaluate the cost of police vehicle pursuits. One finds that fatalities from pursuits have increased substantially while the other shows more pursuits meant more crashes but not less crime in NYC. jasher.substack.com/p/new-resear...

I filed my taxes today. I’ve never hated it more. I don’t want to write checks to a corrupt pedophile to fund war crimes. Fuck Trump

Love seeing former fosters living their best life

Eventually what they will do is build a City Council Ballroom on Duncan Plaza and shove all the city workers into We-Work spaces 20 miles away www.nola.com/news/politic...

Most organizations: from the DoD, to Fortune 100, to startups have had increasing unresolved vulnerability counts for decades

Get ready for $200 oil

Trump “will pay a French energy company $1 billion — not to build clean energy in the US but to kill it. The developer, which was set to invest in wind projects that could have powered more than a million American homes, will be paid to simply walk away.” wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/04/06/t...

I’m not paying for a shiny new city hall for a government that can’t make payroll or keep my drinking water safe

You folks are brutal. I call it as I see it. I always bring evidence. I do my best to minimize bias.

The future of the Democratic Party is fighters

Folks, Moreno is looking past New Orleans. She wants a statewide office. Mayor is just a step on the path and New Orleans is only a passenger on the ride as she shifts right

Maybe I’m built different but I couldn’t sit smiling next to a piece of shit who’s whole career is premised on harming my constituents

Seems like they all know they are commiting crimes?

Fuck it. Do it live. Push to prod

The good news is that the pain from training BJJ last night sufficiently motivated me to schedule a follow up with my orthopedic surgeon

How your data is powering Trump’s surveillance state
