My head hurts #RexComus aftermath

Ooooo Peggy just made Errol shut up!! Did she kick him? Pinch him?

Errol has gone off the rails…. #RexComus

So Errol, I don’t think Carnival in Brazil or Venice are looking at New Orleans. I know it’s important but it’s not that important. #RexComus

So Comus is either a sailor or he is also involved in the shipping industry? #RexComus

The Comus Queen is smiling with clenched teeth?? WTH??? #RexComus

This years Queens don’t do the back lean as well as last years! #RexComus

So Mobile was mentioned, but I doubt Errol will ever mention that Memphis had a Mardi Gras that was almost as old that lead to our major yellow fever outbreaks and the loss of our city charter. Of course Carnival Memphis (nee Cotton Carnival) is the successor to the Memphis Mardi Gras. #RexComus

Arthur looks so much better than Errol! #RexComus why is he retiring??

My god. The clapping. It's on like 1.31 and 3.7. #rexcomus

Her dress is SO heavy!!! She is STRUGGLING! #RexComus

“It’s normal to want to throw your baby out the window…It’s NOT normal to do it.” #RexComus

Throw your baby out the window??!!!?!?! Things you probably shouldn’t mention on your interview during the Rex ball as the mother of the Queen… #RexComus

So I’m a bit confused by these balls (ours in Memphis are a bit different) is there no food, alcohol or dancing?? #RexComus

My dog is SOOOO unsettled by my screaming at Peggy and Errol and the TV!! #RexComus

Well I’m glad they didn’t toast the children with liquor Peggy!?!?? #RexComus

There are a number of dresses that don’t actually meet the white tie requirements…. #RexComus

“Merritt Lane isn’t Rex because his grandfather was Rex” BULLSHIT

Maid majors: Exercise Science Communications Public Relations Business Communications Speech and Communications Nursing Kinesiology #rexcomus

The first of many dark rituals has begun. The making of the homages. The blood sacrament does not happen until they get to the Comus ball #RexComus

Final Maid and Duke school counter: Final school counter: College of Charleston: 3 Texas: 3 Tulane: 2 Ole Miss: 2 LSU: 2 TCU: 2 Wake Forest: 1 Georgetown: 1 Alabama: 1 Virginia: 1 #RexComus

Alexandra was holding onto her flowers for dear life!! #RexComus

I rarely drink these days, but I’m in RARE form tonight because of #RexComus

Omg Peggy he sang with Pavarotti??? #RexComus

Ooo I like Cameron dress! #RexComus

Bevo’s escort! That’s pretty impressive!! #RexComus

Things I have googled so far watching #rexcomus: – age of rex queen 2026 (21, looks younger) – how old is errol laborde (79, no comment) – (it slipped my mind) what hotel is across the street from the marriott (sheraton) – how old is the new archbishop of new orleans (59, whoa that's a rough 59)

Did I just hear some offbeat clapping??? To the easiest thing to clap to in the entire world?? #RexComus

Somebody skinned the Grinch and made a dress. I love this. #rexcomus

Did Peggy just say physical fitness was important for Marines???! #RexComus

Peggy repeating everything Errol says for the guests always gets me. #RexComus

Oooo that chartreuse dress with the cape and the feather fringe was GORGEOUS!!! #RexComus

Good lord Peggy you tried to age her 20 years!!! #RexComus

I always forget that 1st Horizon is regional now. It’s weird to see the old 1st Tennessee logos on NOLA broadcasts 🤣 #RexComus

It sure is a sociological experiment Errol! #RexComus

Reconstruction mentioned! #rexcomus

Had to write out my bingo card since I need printer ink but sitting here ready!! #rexcomus

Today I miss my mommy. The weight is overwhelming. And the hurt from those supposed to care for me is massive. Being back stabbed is unpleasant

This OPSEC Special Bulletin went out to the Pentagon during the same time period that SECDEF was using an unauthorized Signal chat. You can’t make this shit up.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Yes

Kendrick Lamar taking psychology at UCLA in order to improve his lyrics is absolutely terrifying

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I typically avoid cable news these days like the plague. I have since 2016ish. Unless it for a specific story like a hurricane. Tonight I am subjecting myself to it because I am so horrified by what happened today in Washington.
