72 percent tarpon 14 percent oil 14 percent Nash Roberts

Up in New Orleans, Nash Roberts was methodically checking all the indicators. Roberts was an independent meteorologist and televsion weatherman. In 1957, however, most people still got their forecast information from newspapers and radio. That was unfortunate on

Yeah he tried to have it both ways. Here I’m referring specifically to this exchange (re: NYT)

In a televised debate this evening
Mr. Duke said: "Of course I apologize for things that I have said that have been improper. And I do repudiate the Klan or any other racist organization or intolerant organization that exists in this state or in this coun try. I think we have to all work together, but you don't make up for past discrimination by putting new discrimination on people with these affirmative actions programs and policies."

Mr. Edwards responded: "Mr. Duke' has given us 20 years of hate and hurt.
If he is really reformed, let him go back into the community and give us 20 years of healing and help and then come back and ask to be Governor."

When I screw around with an LLM, this is the one part I can never get past. Quickly, whatever initial wonder I experience fades into annoyance as the LLM turns into a dumb reflection. Good since I'm sorta inoculated by this effect. Bad because it's difficult for me to comprehend others' experiences.

Indeed, people may do well to remember that speaking to a chatbot, especially one with persistent memory, is often less like chatting with friend or neutral arbiter — and more like talking to a hall of mirrors.

One last thing. This bit from Ebert’s 1997 review of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe.

There's a learning process that moviegoers go through. They begin in childhood without sophistication or much taste, and for example, like "Gamera" more than "Air Force One" because flying turtles are obviously more entertaining than United States presidents. Then they grow older and develop "taste," and prefer "Air Force One," which is better made and has big stars and a more plausible plot. (Isn't it more believable, after all, that a president could single-handedly wipe out a planeload of terrorists than that a giant turtle could spit gobs of flame?) Then, if they continue to grow older and wiser, they complete the circle and return to "Gamera" again, realizing that while both movies are preposterous, the turtle movie has the charm of utter goofiness-and, in an age of flawless special effects, it is somehow more fun to watch flawed ones.

One of my favorite things about NASA culture is astronauts talk in better prose than most writers.

“We have a beautiful moonrise and we’re headed right at it,” Reid Wiseman, the Artemis II mission commander, said from the spacecraft as it ascended atop the rocket.

Who dat.

The meme of Rosa with the dog from Brooklyn Nine Nine with the dog replaced by Saints QB Tyler Shough's head and the quote changed to "I've only had Tyler Shough for a day and half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

This is the most insulting thing that anyone could possibly write about LSU

LSU football is a power unlike anything else in the state, perhaps the single most influential and powerful entity across the boot of Louisiana.
More than the NFL's New Orleans Saints, yes. And the seafood industry even. The oil rigs too.

GUMBO GUMBO JAMBALAYA

Down on the bayou, they've got a sayin'.
C'est tout!
It's pronounced SAY-too and it's Cajun French for,
"That's all."
And that is all. For Brian Kelly.

Shall I put it in south Louisiana terms? With the arrival of gumbo weather, things got quite spicy on the bayou (I'll see myself out).

It's a reason the state's politics and LSU football are tethered to one another, linked forever, symbiotic organisms coexisting for the good or bad — a relationship that began 100 years ago when former Gov. Huey Long, known to lead the LSU band in its march across the field, orchestrated some political maneuvering to help build Tiger Stadium itself.
Politics and LSU Football — like hot boudin and cold couche-couche (Google it).

They all said nothing here but OT said less nothing which mathematically I suppose is more?

What makes you qualified to run the city of New Orleans?
As a father, former businessman, and lifelong community advocate, I bring a unique combination of lived experience and leadership. I understand how city government should work because I've seen it. I know what it means to serve the people, not just in title, but in action, and I'm ready to lead a New Orleans that works for everyone, with no one left behind.

appalling anachronism in this princess bride baby book wherein the kid is wearing a brian urlacher jersey instead of a walter payton one

I am not hating btw if I were rich and recently recovered from an infected penis hair-tourniquet I would probably get a very nice suit too

if you can’t read the image you are probably better off than I am, so I’m giving you a chance to stop. Still here? Okay.

It’s a snippet of a times article reading:

Fast forward to the summer of 2020, when
"a tiny hair" wrapped into a "tourniquet" around that excess foreskin "in the shape of a gift bow," as Mr. Shteyngart wrote in The New Yorker. The knot "could not be prized loose using tweezers, and any attempts to dislodge it with my fingers only tightened it around the string of superfluous skin," he wrote. It would not loosen, and his foreskin began "releasing what looked like a stream of pus."
