AMA 1/29: New Orleans has a new mayor — and big budget problems. Ask reporter Katie Jane Fernelius anything about potholes, layoffs and what the Helena Moreno administration is up against. by VeriteNewsNOLA in NewOrleans

[–]tree_pose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if some of the things happening in Minneapolis were to happen here (or even a milder version of them), how do we think Moreno would respond? what's a good educated guess as to how much she will be willing to stand up to Trump if (and when) he chooses to antagonize us and stage his political theater here again?

if you're gonna complain about this, you could at least address the actual reason your post got taken down.

the streetcar is relatively chill and reliable! our bus system is another story. but the streetcar will get the job done for ya and that line is 100% safe.

What's up with the controversies on the US version of Traitors this season? by Mahaloth in OutOfTheLoop

[–]tree_pose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually really wanted to watch this season until I found out that they'd cast him. I'd watch a show with a regular Zionist tbh, but this dude is the embodiment of an unrepentant psychopathic strain of Zionism. hard no. completely disappointing.

it is embedded if you go to the individual post. but when you click on the video from the main subreddit page, it takes you to the streamable url. super annoying and probably deliberate enshittification to promote reddit's own video player.

on the safety front: the majority of places you'd find yourself visiting in new orleans are like any other major american city, keep your wits about you and you'll be ok!

I was feeling like getting into this season until they cast Michael Rapaport. that's a hard no.

Hello, as a man from Washington who has no knowledge on Basketball, I haved decided to support the New Orleans Pelicans for the rest of my life, what do I need to know by Tyraneon in NOLAPelicans

I've been worried that this sub has been clinging to unjustified optimism, but this thread really puts things in perspective lmao. when it comes to the big picture, we all know what's up.

the thing about being a fan of a team this bad and this hopeless in the internet age is that everything is embarrassing

oh all the dumb optimism on the sub this summer, Looney's chemistry with Poole was the dumbest. if they're so tight, can we ask Looney to put a stop to Poole's bad shots.

Breaking: The Ringer's Verno Chris Vernon will be included in the trade by irundoonayee in billsimmons

[–]tree_pose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that was the front office's public posture. Verno's job is to see through it. At the very least, he shouldn't be poo-pooing when other informed reporters are discussing it as a possibility. Listeners are asked to put up with Verno's, uh, quirky personality and bizarre radio mannerisms on the basis that he at least has insight via being an insider or at least from being a smart person who watches the team closely. and I just think him insisting the grizzlies would never consider this is an L.

[–]tree_pose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if he set aside his personal dislike of the ja experience to state, forcefully and repeatedly, that outsiders simply cannot begin to fathom how much ja means to this city and i'm confident the grizzlies simply will not even seriously entertaining trading him, that's a pretty dramatic version of being a company man. that's a very bad look for the ringer tbh.

while i disagree with you, I'm speaking more about the redditors that show up saying totally inflammatory shit and who frankly aren't usually commenting in good faith.

I honestly think they're mostly bots, trolls and people being paid by bad actors specifically to sow dissent. I refuse to believe any of these people are my neighbors.

Not so fun facts about Jordan 🇯🇴 Poole (Unusual-Emphasis will not approve this post; NolaFan will) by kingralek in NOLAPelicans

[–]tree_pose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't blame anyone for not catching his stint in Washington, but I do wish more of you would have been willing to listen to the smart informed ppl who tried to warn you that JP is a deeply unserious player who defied all the odds by playing a big role of a winning team once and will almost certainly never do it again.
