So excited to support Bike Easy on their e-bike workshop in partnership with Blue Bikes and the New Orleans Health Department. Outreach, engagement and education are so important with this, and Bike Easy is leading the way. Thanks to WGNO for their coverage. Link in the comments.

Hearing that Lola's Restaurant was struggling was the excuse we needed to pay a return visit after way too long. Put in the order for the paella practically before we sat down, with the garlic shrimp order put in as well. Love this place so much. #lolas #neworleans

Finally made it out to #Gianna. Everything was very good, even if some items felt a little on the salty side. But man, that seared shrimp campanelle. Amazing. Donald Link FTW once again.

Ashton Daniels and Duce Robinson repeatedly saying the Seminoles need to “get back in the lab” and “clean things up” is the best tribute to Tim Curry I think of. #GoNoles

"Say more" and "Say more words" may be the most annoying new interview technique, often used as a follow-up. Looking at you, "Morning Edition." @npr.org

Looking for recommendations for a new portable charger for my iPhone. Any suggestions? I've had great luck with the brands I've used but that was years ago and you never know what new brands might be out there. Trying to keep it in the $50 range if possible.

Look! Before Opening! ca. 1950 🎨Roland Davies
Safety poster featuring a bicycle rider crashing into the freshly opened door of a car. The car's driver appears surprised by the crash. Text: Look! Before opening!

This and the other Roland Davies poster ("Mind that Cyclist!", above) were created for the UK's Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in the 1950s.

From the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi #RIPMarjaneSatrapi
Page from the graphic novel titled The Bicycle, in which a girl reflects on her youthful revolutionary ideas. She tells her friends how the revolution- in this case the Iranian revolution- is like a bicycle, in that it falls when it stops moving. The next panel shows a bunch of people lying next to a giant fallen bicycle with the words, "So went the revolution in my country."
