Don't watch the Saints lose all by yourself this Sunday. Come out to the Broadside and enjoy some great Cajun music and good company with the game on in the background! I'll be on the drums - would love to see you there!

Last week at #ire25 I told fellow reporters to write off of documents โ€” and to implore editors to greenlight these stories, even without family narrative, because it opens the door.

We published this story this morning and have already been contacted by a family who experienced the same thing.

This entire River District thing is going to be a boondoggle, too. The last thing this city needs right now is more office space.

This is really cool from @sophiasgaler.bsky.social - a new app that helps you quickly translate longform work into snappy video content.

Who/Whom

If you can answer the question with "him" then you use โ€˜whom.โ€™ --> they both end in โ€˜mโ€™.

If you can answer the question with โ€œhe,โ€ use โ€˜who.โ€™

-Whom are you going to the concert with?
-I'm going with him.

-Who broke the toaster?
-He did.

Supreme Court allows Trump to remove migrants to South Sudan and other turmoil-filled countries | CNN Politics The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Donald Trumpโ€™s emergency request to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their homeland, including places like South Sudan, with minimal noti...

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants to countries they have never lived in, including places where they will likely be tortured.

โ€œI cannot join so gross an abuse of this Courtโ€™s equitable discretion,โ€ writes Justice Sotomayor in a blistering dissent.

My serious expression belies the joy I experienced playing live music again last night after a break of several months. A lovely wedding reception in Ruston, Louisiana, with a buffet featuring the best loaded mashed potatoes you ever tasted.

What have you done lately that brought you joy?
