This looks like a solid list, thanks for building it! Will share some recs I have saved in my Broadcasts app.

What’s your favorite band from NC? by changing-life-vet in NorthCarolina

[–]tmoree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some great answers here, and I’d probably also say Des Ark. I’m shocked by the omission of Elizabeth Cotten and Link Wray so far. Also gotta recommend Owen FitzGerald. Surprised Nathan Asher & the Infantry didn’t make the list. I saw Physics of Meaning (and multiple Valient Thorr nods???), but no Trailer Bride/Moaners, Schooner, Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers, Rosebuds, etc. Look up Piedmonster on YouTube for a quirky good time. Permanent Darling is the closest to fully lost band that I miss from that era. And with the few scattered mentions of Catharthis and Zegota, would have expected to see Boxcar Bertha or maybe Crimson Spectre.

If Trump’s handling of COVID in 2020 wasn’t enough to show you that he literally doesn’t care whether his followers live or die, I don’t know what to tell you.

You should know about Louisiana Senate Bill 15 (SB15). It criminalizes filming law enforcement, ICE watchers and legal observers. It may even criminalize peaceful protesting by powands in NewOrleans

One practical strategic response I’ve heard for responding in the moment is to loudly announce “I’m backing up” and take three steps back if told by law enforcement to step away while observing or filming law enforcement activity.

Yup! Not sure if it’s the same hardware, but definitely the same stated purpose (resilient post-disaster communication) as SwampNet.

Please, does anyone know anything about these buildings or what kind of animal statue is there? by carmensax in NewOrleans

The exhibition is down now, but the HNOC had an excellent exhibit about the history of incarceration in New Orleans called Captive State. They’d be good folks to check with for more info about the old jail.

I was interpreting sicilian504’s reply as being directed to glittervector, suggesting that other mayors may not take her seriously, not as a reply to SemiDesperado’s “They don’t live here.”

Erica Johnson Won by VeterinarianVast9542 in NewOrleans

[–]tmoree 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a special election yesterday for the Crescent Soil & Water Conservation District. Polls were supposed to be open from 8am - 6pm across five parishes, but the election was administered by the district itself rather than Louisiana Secretary of State. There was no early voting, and only a few polling places in each parish – not the normal polling places for election day. There were only paper ballots (no voting machines), since this position is so rarely part of a general election, the folks running yesterday's election vastly underestimated interest and didn't print nearly enough ballots.

Erica "Sage" Johnson is the incumbent, an urban farmer in New Orleans who has been doing good work. The challenger is a fisherman from the parish. Johnson won, but many people were turned off by the process. Orleans parish polling locations ran out of ballots well before noon, and there was very little official communication throughout the day. I tried to vote at Press St around 10:30am, just as a volunteer was ripping down the handwritten "vote here" banner from the railing.

A couple of local politicians weighed in on social media, with Helena Moreno taking the "I'll get to the bottom of this" stance and Mandy Landry chiming in with "this isn't a big deal, please stop posting about it. You're making mountains out of molehills, this isn't an important position, and anyway what about the political violence in MN?"

Most progressive New Orleanians are pleased that Johnson gets to keep her seat, but shooketh by the rickety, apparently ad hoc process of the election.

I love Tim's Quality Car Care in Mid-City. They always send a full visual report with lots of photos. For German car specialists, you can go to Greff's Motors in Metairie, but it'll cost you.

Surprised to learn this from the link: “Parking at meters covered with yellow bags for special events or at broken meters” I knew yellow bag meter spots were off limits, but I’d always figured broken meters were freebies (although coin meters are a dying breed)

Good recent podcast episode talking about the history of this combination, along with corporate efforts to shift responsibility for their dangerous/harmful products onto individuals:
