More than once this "feature" has gobbled up my limited internet usage, sending me into throttling from my ISP for days. This is not just annoying, it is bad. For example, throttling makes getting traffic information on google maps impossible. I don't know why Bluesky hasn't just fixed it yet.

Yes, but if one logs out and logs back in, it is on by default, whoch can can cause one to gobble up internet usage without intending to. The default should be "off."

Stop autoplaying media as default on login.

Mark your calendars: The ribbon cutting for the
S&WB power complex is supposed to be December 18. It was originally scheduled for November 13, but was cancelled. (5/5)

We don't know how things have moved on the rest of the
S&WB power complex equipment since 11/19/25, because the website updates don't mention them. So we don't know if SFC 2 became "available" at the end of November, or if testing of turbine 7 has started. (4/5)

The first 30 day reliability test of S&WB SFC 1 - required under contract - failed October 24 due to a "trip event" which has yet to be explained. Despite over $300 million in public dollars, S&WB refuses to provide the public with details of its investment. (3/5)

The last comprehensive S&WB power complex update was provided at a meeting on 11/19/25. It claimed static frequency changer 1 (SFC 1) would be wrapping up the redo of its 30 day reliability test in "early December," but with no exact date given. (2/5)

If sewage is escaping the system, strongly suggest you file a complaint with LDEQ.

It would be nice if they didn't charge an arm and a leg to access public records.

This is not a one time thing. Both Moreno and Legislative Auditor Waguespack said today the city would be coming back again next year for another short term bond, and probably for years after that as the budget gets chewed up. Waguespack said the city needs to look at once-a-week furloughs.

Canary in the coal mine. Mounds bars were introduced during the height of the Great Depression.

The process for moving every S&WB employee to the state civil service is already underway, and a constitutional amendment in March might nuke every local civil service in the state. The current threat is part of a much bigger plan.

Identical radio silence from nolaready, which also apparently shuts down on Friday afternoons.

What is most interesting is that the S&WB FEMA reimbursement data indicates the dropoff began well before the government shutdown began Oct. 1. Reimbursements leveled off a month before that. (7/x)

BUT the S&WB Chief Financial Officer Gray Lewis pointed out the dropoff in FEMA reimbursements at this month's finance meeting, connecting it to the federal government shutdown: "This is an area we are monitoring with our partners at the state because of the government situation." (6/x)
