It’s so fun when the rank and file at media orgs hate their bosses so much they leak like a Pinto. Jim Amoss once addressed the newsroom about not speaking to outside journalists and leaking and I had a photo of him doing so on the Gambit website before he was done.

Moving van arrives Wednesday. A bit overwhelmed. Anyone who’s done a cross country move, please weigh in. I moved from New Orleans in a pod and this will be an 18-wheeler.

The Saints honored Ditka today by playing like he still was coaching the team. Respect.

The social media team doesn’t care enough to notice this happened in July.

If I remember correctly the Church’s chicken next to Fats Domino’s house used to let him and no one but him walk through the drive thru

I also remember Diana Ditka saying of the Saints, “Jesus Christ himself couldn’t turn them around.” Jim Haslett and Sean Payton could. Her oafish husband couldn’t.

From that Sports Illustrated interview in 1998. Worth noting that besides losing football games and flipping off fans, the big tough guy was also SCARED OF MIMES

Ellen could have used it. In her “autobiography” on page 1 she mentions being born at “Oschner.”

I kept a shared calendar. Staff could see who had what days off and what major issues were planned (Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, etc.). They could then make their plans and schedule their own vacations and absences.

The Spelling 🐝 didn’t accept the legit word CHILBLAIN, which would have been a pangram and now I’m rooting for newspaper layoffs due to fake news

We are so far from norms or the law and no one with any authority is doing anything about it. It’s a helpless and hopeless feeling.

I’m so old that I remember when an anchor job at WWL was a sinecure and it was huge news when “Garland” or “Angela” left. Now it’s a revolving door.

There was a place in Gert Town with no one under 30, no curlers, no bonnets. It was painted on the door.

When I was at Gambit we did numerous stories about high rates of new HIV infection in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, as no one else seemed to be reporting it. That’s what took me quite so aback here.

Yes, a weird only-in-New Orleans sidebar to the whole thing. Woman was also sued by LaToya.

Big Facebook controversy over a chain of French Quarter gay bars banning Crescent Care from HIV and other health tests, and given the names involved I think it will escape social media containment and move into local news soon.

I always had a bit of imposter syndrome about not going to j-school, but the current administration cured all thoughts of that. Now I see it as being paid to learn my craft.

Good story. IMO Tabasco adds flat heat, nothing else. Crystal adds depth and draws out flavor.
