Good morning, #NewOrleans! I love the smell of the city at this time of year @noladon

I think that's honeysuckle in the foreground

editor,

@editor @noladon Looks like one photo didn't upload fully but the #glitch just adds authenticity, right?

There was a scene in this new #CivilWar movie that reminded me of post-Katrina #NewOrleans. Those memories brought me to tears. It's a powerfully disturbing film, in a good way. Perhaps not for everyone, but I'd still recommend it. PTSD warnings apply. @noladon

So long, #NewOrleans! The train has left the station https://youtu.be/1Y6HlfUMJQ8
Don't fret, I'll be back soon, but I just gotta sneak a peek at that total #eclipse of the sun. I haven't ridden a train in years, and never this line: the celebrated City of New Orleans. Cool name but also kinda confusing — are you talking about the city or the train or the song? Saw a full-size gator out the window. Incredible! @noladon

Yesterday I rode my bike to the Lower Garden District to catch a live performance of the Missa Gaia by the Symphony Chorus of #NewOrleans.

And they recorded it!

Give yourself an hour to absorb the beauty of this #ecospiritual music.

PS: You'll find a complete list of works performed in the video description.

Good morning #NewOrleans! Nutria sighting — don't think I've seen one in City Park before @noladon

editor, to NewOrleans

My efforts to recover old illustrations and convert them into a modern format continue. The latest: Louis Armstrong, the most famous human being from #NewOrleans. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Louis_Armstrong.svg

I drew this a quarter-century ago, based on a photo, for a multimedia collaboration with Dr. Michael White. That never quite got off the ground, but it was fun and an honor to work with him. @noladon

Good morning, ! This should be the tenth day of the new year if our calendar had any sanity, but what the heck: @noladon

Good morning #NewOrleans ! Most colorful sunrise I've seen in a while. @noladon

editor,

@editor I posted this via #Pixelfed and tagged @noladon to explore the Fediverse's vaunted interoperability — seems to work as advertised because I'm seeing it here on #Mastodon

editor,

@scerruti @w8emv @edutooters Y'all ain't wrong, and I do find the history of AI fascinating, and this might be a good time to plug my video https://youtu.be/rrjwZwCxHdQ on that topic, but nevertheless I think Tristan Harris is onto something here. Could the rise of Big Social, driven by "the algorithm," be the first consequential encounter with AI for our society as a whole?

editor, to NewOrleans

Good morning, #NewOrleans! It's cold and bleak and gray and gloomy and windy and a little damp and almost like winter. Not my favorite weather! But I know we can get through this together. Oh and happy Hallowe'en. @noladon

editor, to NewOrleans

Good morning, #NewOrleans. Have a decent day. @noladon

House majority leader Steve Scalise's (R-La.) nearly 30-year government career has yielded him a net worth of about $350,000.

editor,

@z_everson @Forbes
Well I guess, at the intersection of Scalise and Everson, this is as good a place as any to share an article I wrote a few years ago:
https://midcitymessenger.com/2016/06/27/bart-everson-will-scalise-reflect/
Please note that despite having the same surname, I don't know Zach Everson personally.
Also please note that despite our pleas, Scalise has shown no sign of reflecting on #ClimateChange. He remains hugely problematic in my view. @noladon

Good morning, #NewOrleans! Sometimes it's pinkest before the dawn. @noladon

editor, to NewOrleans

This morning, I was shocked to see this major cleanup of the NCF overpass in #NewOrleans. I'm pretty sure it was still swathed in graffiti when I rode home yesterday. Was it done "after hours"? Is it the ghost of the Gray Ghost??? @noladon

editor, to NewOrleans

Good morning, #NewOrleans! Hang in there, fall is coming in just a few days. Don't blink, you might miss it. @noladon

editor,

@noladon Well, that dream turned into a nightmare. Ron the Muffin Man came by peddling his wares, and I said there was no way the #Saints could lose this one, and he said, "I don't know, it's the Saints!"

editor, to NewOrleans

Hey ! Join Crescent City Gaian Guild and Greater New Orleans Interfaith Climate Coalition for a fall celebration. We’ll welcome the harvest season and step into the dark half of the year together. This gathering will feature a brief science demo explaining the celestial mechanics of this seasonal moment. We’ll also have a breath-based meditation, a song, and a communal potluck feast. Saturday morning is City Park.

Details here:

Holy heck! They published my letter after all. As discussed previously: https://mastodon.floe.earth/@editor/111088019674693400 @noladon

editor,

But let’s be clear: even if they made it safe for power lines, plastic confetti should still be banned because it’s hazardous to health and ecology. In fact, this rule shouldn’t just apply to cannons on Carnival floats. Plastic confetti ought to be banned across the board. However, outlawing the practice of throwing confetti is never going to be effective. In fact, that would be grotesque.

@noladon

editor,

I call upon our state legislature to ban the sale and manufacture of plastic confetti in the state of #Louisiana

People like to throw confetti in the air. It’s part of how we celebrate important milestones in life. But a few seconds later, the confetti falls to the ground. It becomes litter, and plastic confetti is the worst kind of litter.

@noladon

editor,

If we have to litter, let’s do it with something non-toxic. If we have to throw confetti, let’s do it like our grandparents did, before DuPont invented Mylar.

@noladon

editor,

Bonus photo for anyone who read this far!
