Hey Colesby, how’d you get through the slog this is working overnight the first night of the first weekend of Mardi Gras?
Glad you asked. I listened to Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen and that was as optimistic as it sounds.

Only 15 minutes later than normal. I’ll be betting on the weekend being worse.
Working this weekend and taking bets on how bad the bus (I take the Tulane bus out) will be despite it not being interrupted by the parades.

Went for my first run in probably 4 months. Various thing kept getting in the way (injuries, minor health issues) but it felt good to be back out and running.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

As much as I shoot at the parks with different cameras, I’ve never been able to take the same photo on the same film in two different formats. Fixed that.
Cameras; Kodak Mickey-matic, Canon AE-1 w/50mm 1.8

Open your US history text and pick out any particular evil thing and I guarantee it traces back to some not-quite-wealthy-enough whites worried they may miss a rung on the ladder they're climbing.

“We are each called to love God first and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Deut. 6:5, Lev. 19:18, Matt. 22:36-40, KJV).
However, that "Greatest Commandment" was never directed to the government, but to INDIVIDUAL believers”.
That’s it. That’s the dumbest thing I’ll ever read.

Speaking on behalf of a religion that actively sought to spread itself to every country in the world whether invited or not, Speaker Johnson would like to share with you the Biblical case for strong borders.

I just want everyone not from New Orleans to see what they do to a road to "prevent terrorism." Instead of just closing it?
This is one side of a road that carries most of the big parades.

Security barriers have been placed along St. Charles Avenue from Calliope to Napoleon Ave. on the uptown side of St. Charles. Serpentine formation will remain in place until after Ash Wednesday>>>https://www.wdsu.com/article/new-orleans-safety-bourbon-street-parades/70224734

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
