If you’re of a certain age, then I’m sure this view of the Artemis II launch riddled you with anxiety for a few moments.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Looking forward to getting djt signed US currency notes that will almost certainly land in my palm with helpful suggestions and directives scribbled in by my fellow citizens with their own Sharpies.

Ursuline's Dandy Lion regales the crowd during the Krewe of Carrollton

I don't think I could better parody the state of the Washington Post opinions page than an essay from a crypto guy and the legal academy's worst amateur epidemiologist that earnestly argues that "stolen land" rhetoric is misguided because of statutes of limitations on lawsuits to recover property

New from me: Neutrality isn’t moral clarity when one side is building power and the other is pretending not to notice.

Musk didn’t start a new party. He wrote a tweet.

#colbert turns out to be the past imperfect French participle of "Smothers Brothers"

I think about this comic at least once a week

Voting works. A New Orleans city jail tax proposal passed by one vote. Pick any three voters and any of us could say "we three put it over the top." 🧵 1/

Among my regular passengers on the 44 are two young boys who ride with their grandma from California and 6th Ave all the way to Silver and Palou. The older brother is possibly a 2nd grader. Last night as they were getting off my bus, he handed me this hand made envelope.

Apparently you can't spell "principal" if you have no principles.

These two are the spirit of Mardi Gras (well, at least part of it)

FWIW as former editor of my school paper, I'll run it.

Happy 50th Birthday, “Saturday Night Live.” It was fun to write about you from a New Orleans perspective, 2002: www.nola.com/gambit/mardi...

Daughter in high school asked me about "who" and "whom." I gave her two references: 1. Comden and Green, from 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗺 we get "One Hundred Easy Ways" in their show 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘯 (oof, YayText). 2. Page 87 of 𝐷𝑟𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐸𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ (YT, you're not much better with serifs) @bcdreyer.social

I guess we're rather a bit past "gentlemen don't wear hats indoors."

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID. They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide. What insanity and cruelty to break that.

The real op ed, truly the opposite of what the editor published.

That time when I wrote this seven and one half years ago

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

@lisamurkowski says after seeing today's footage "I can't see how Donald Trump could be elected to the Presidency in 2024". Senator, may I introduce you to 2016?

www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts... I was going to say this should get produced as an animation by Robert Smigel, but it's so perfectly written my imagination worked just fine.

www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... Thorough piece. It's a big part of how we got here. Now do Trump. You won't need to speak off-the-record to 50 close associates for that. Given who owns WSJ, I'm not holding my breath.

So *this* is what it feels like when a President breaks a promise. We might have never known. Thanks, Joe.

The Saints blocked the crushing irony of a 63 yard game-ending field goal. Rest in peace Tom Dempsey.

@emptywheel 3 ?s: How long could a Special Master could delay the process—days/weeks/months? Does this work out as a favor to DOJ by taking "indict now or wait till elections?" off their table? Do you suspect most of evidence collection/building a case is done already?

@dynomight7 You appear to know about air filtration, or at least more than Wirecutter. Would love your analysis of central HVAC filters, if you have the MERV to do it (pun intended). High-end, expensive pleated, or see-thru fiberglass? Let 'em fill, or change more often?

The path of destruction in New Orleans is clearly indicated by Entergy's outage map. Arabi is actually just over the Orleans parish line, in St. Bernard, but it's still metro New Orleans. 3 miles west would have yielded a populated path 6x longer.
