I would throw your baby and your momma into traffic for these smoked and fried soft shell crabs that’s how good they are
FYI Clancy’s has them fried smoked soft shell crabs again AND THEY ARE STILL LIKE GOD GIVING YOU A MOUTH ORGASM
Anybody else in Louisiana getting locked out of @bsky.app cause of the Mississippi block?
Apropos of nothing it’s always important to get syphilis treated quickly before it turns your brain to Swiss cheese
Just saw two lonely Susan Hutson campaign signs on St Bernard so I guess we know what she spent the last $12.47 in her campaign account on
Bill is Susan Collins-level concerned

Senior year of high school, Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation Tour, Cap Center, floor seats. While I don't personally remember much, allegedly I MIGHT have overdosed on accident on somebody's momma's pills I allegedly found in her alleged medicine cabinet and MY momma thought i had the flu and kept me in
there's no way that bama is only 14 years younger than me
You know who can prove their residency after a disaster? NO ONE And that's not the point - no one should be denied services. This will be disastrous to even attempt to follow. DHS moves to bar aid groups from serving undocumented immigrants www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Wait so is this an AI that decided to become a fake journalist and write pitches for fake stories and then write the fake stories all on its own? Or a person who used an AI to write the pitches, email responses and stories? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
This is a great look into how killing neighborhood schools in favor of a charter system focused on profits and test scores above all else post-Katrina dramatically reshaped not only music education but how and even if kids can get into music www.nola.com/gambit/music...
I'll be honest - not sure I've EVER seen a chemical company say "sorry" in a press release before this.

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
As I recall (lot happened since June) Louisiana passed a notification law this year that puts onerous reporting rules on platforms — ostensibly to “protect” kids but part of the Christian anti-speech platform — which could lead to this sort of thing happening here
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Listen I love that anything goes in New Orleans but this bama needs to be put in some kind of black site
Ive never seen the 2024 voter mindset summed up so perfectly.
My god, This Must Be The Place is such a wonderfully beautiful jam
It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

Am I the only person who enjoys raw potatoes?
Also if anybody on here gets a statement from Cantrell’s office could you send it my way. The mayor keeps taking us off her press list lol
That sounds vaguely familiar yeah. And very on brand
Seriously though is Mayor Cantrell even in the United States right now?
So did Gilbert Montano roll on her?

KISS wrote a song about an old dude creeping on an underage girl so that tracks
I am genuinely curious if they had abs in real life or if they were like those Pac-Man pops in the 80s that looked like a melted Picasso

Louisiana state Sen Royce Duplessis went on the the OG Murda show to distance himself from New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell and ended up dodging Murda’s unhinged sexist, anti trans and xenophobic questions www.nola.com/gambit/news/...
“About 850 officers and agents took part in a ‘massive law enforcement surge’ across Washington DC on Monday night and… …made a total of 23 arrests.”
watching national reporters who live in DC do this is really embarrassing. no one speaking at this conference was raising a legitimate issue.
What the fuck is this
El Paso is legit cool! It’s a particular kind of cool, for sure, but still fuckin rad. And Juarez is one of my favorite places on earth. Ya just gotta get through the racist, classless expanse of Texas or the bathtub meth lab known as New Mexico to get there which sucks
Bari Weiss is the fuckin lamest cult leader ever
The existence of not one, but an entire chain, of Trump burger joints NOT owned by the shit bird himself should finally end the “no Houston is actually a really cool place” bullshit. Everything east of El Paso sucks in Texas

Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill … Maybe have a lil Native Tongues reunion with everybody who’s still alive/willing to be on a stage together too as an added treat? Get Doechii to MC the whole thing? Tell me that would kill.
I was listening to a Native Tongues playlist and reminded me of the sheer number of certified bangers women MCs put out in the late 80s and 90s is just astounding. I would fuck SO HARD with a festival lineup of Queen Latifah Monie Love MC Lyte Salt n Pepa Roxanne Shante Lady of Rage Missy Elliott
Quite the “Latinos are animals who you put down when they’re busted” and “Black people are lazy” racism combo

Its clearly dumb to frame the NYC shooting this way. But its also equally dumb for journalists to uncritically accept the argument that "cops prevent crimes" like they're fuckin' Tom Cruise and the rest of the precog gang preemptively showing up to stop crimes before they happen.

New Orleans City Council President JP Morrell fires back at Sen. Royce Duplessis over 'Trumpian' comments www.nola.com/gambit/news/...
Yeah that’s a huge thing in town. There’s also a private group that gives businesses cameras, which is a pretty Orwellian work around of peoples’ reluctance to be snitches for NOPD
I saw a post on Facebook by a pro-surveillance group arguing restaurants in New Orleans are closing because tourists aren’t coming, which is because they think the city is insanely dangerous, which is because we need more surveillance of citizens. Which is so cynical and fucked up
