24 years in this house and first time I really could vote against the shithead in LA-01. (Was Vitter and Jindal before Scalise).

I don't know if it's good or bad for him. I can say that I would be very surprised if 14/25 goes for him. It was 59 Dem voters in the primary and 17 Rep voters and one of those was me pulling a Rep ballot to vote against Letlow after voting against Cassidy. I'd have to pull some historical results.

And of course the sample ballots never showed anything until now.

Well Holy Shit. I finally get to vote against Scalise. We are 4/25. They really need to update the maps. I kept reading and checking maps and nothing ever showed anything changing for us.

Without doxxing myself (but I can be looked up any number of ways), we are outside that poinylt at the corner of Fontainebleau and Broadway. I knew the district was disputed but every map I have seen still shows us not in the district.

The map on the right does not include our house.

Did district 1 change or is Geaux Vote wrong? Geaux vote is saying we are now in Scalise's district?! But from everything I can see we are still not.

House map according to the federal government.

And if you do anything at all home-related on Reddit, you will be sucked into a rabbithole of suggestions about r/AskElectricians, r/drywall, r/cabinetry, etc. And they are all full of WTFs like that.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the highly competitive arena of baby naming. Through making several Extremely Reasonable Assumptions (namely, that parents are myopic, perfectly knowledgeable agents who pick a name based solely on its "uniqueness"), we create a model which is not only tractable and clean, but also perfectly captures the real world. We then extend our investigation with numerical experiments, as well as analysis of large language model tools. We conclude by discussing avenues for future research.

Yes, I will go to lunch. But it's their economy, so they can take me to lunch. With their gas. Because my time is valuable, and they have fucked the country, their neighbors and the world and if they want to talk about what they have donez I can give them lunchtime on those terms.

I know this isn't the point, but I shop off a list and do not use delivery/pickup and I use the Harahan Walmart because we go out there weekly for music lessons. It's under construction but I feel like it's faster and much more likely to be right than online or Amazon. But yeah, everything is shit.

Got to start the vicous cycle somewhere.

Closing schools won't solve the enrollment problem. Closing schools won't stop the population loss. It will only make it worse. When a city forecloses on services to children and shuts down generational community anchors, it loses itself www.nola.com/news/educati...

New Orleans is likely to see school closures. Alumni, parents are preparing to fight back.

Due to low enrollment at L.B. Landry High School and across the New Orleans public school system, fears of closure have returned.

This was a two act play by the Russians. It’s both a tragedy and a comedy.

A cop upstairs in the Dallas PD when Oswald is shot. A guest who had a nice dinner at the Ambassador Hotel. Bin Laden’s neighbor. Someone at a bathhouse near the Roman senate. In each episode, there are hints in the background but, otherwise, they just don’t know.

I have an idea for a prestige TV show: The Guy Who Didn’t Know In each episode we see a day in the life of a person who isn’t aware that something world-changing is happening around him.

Also, pretty clear HBO Max is using AI to translate its show descriptions into UK English, because look what they call John Candy…

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Bullying/blackmail/protection racket, too. He does have a full crime family repertoire. Which shouldn't be surprising.
