Damn man. First Diane Keaton and now D’Angleo. Black Messiah was a staple when I was designing the paper in college.

I don’t think so? But next time I go I’ll ask. If not, I’ll let him know he should add something.

Y’all go support my guy Marco Polo out in Arabi.

This isn’t a request. It’s a demand. I need him to succeed.

Wish there was exit polling for mayoral races. Think the narrative around Moreno winning would look different if it were the case.

Master P casually yelling “Hoody Hoo” and Silkk rising from the floor to the instrumentals of “It Ain’t My Fault” would be the most epic finishing move.

Today marks the third month since I started learning Spanish again. What’s even better, I am noticing progress. In “One Battle After Another,” there are Spanish-speaking characters speaking Spanish with no subtitles. I understood a good part of it.

Still a long way to go, but celebrate small wins.

Not that I’m not excited for this. But does No Limit have enough hits to compete with Cash Money? More importantly, who is even available at this point from No Limit?

Sinus infections and stepping outside thinking it was cooler weather do not go together.

Mother Nature needs to crank up that AC.

It sucks Sean Penn is who he is because there’s a lot that could be said about his performance in One Battle After Another.

James Gunn says he doesn’t see John Cena as a wrestler turned actor — “He’s an actor”

“Every actor did something before they were acting, and that just happens to be the job he had before this. Because he is fantastic”

Shun the “New Orleans can’t support three professional teams” adversaries no matter how right they are.

I want hockey here damnit.

Hurt my heel several weeks ago. Been nagging me while I trained for the Chicken Fest 5K. Finally sought treatment. But was worried it wouldn’t heal in time for the race.

Looks like my heel is doing fine now. 🍻 🎉 🙌

Wonder where those know it all “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” kids are now?

New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.
