Coming soon to the new Trump Kennedy Center #RexComus
Good morning New Orleans.
Today is Ash Wednesday, also known as the Worst Wednesday of the Year in New Orleans. In the Catholic church, it is the beginning of the Lenten season of austerity and contemplation before Easter. For New Orleanians, it's the start of Fish Fridays at every restaurant.
Yes they are.

When I turned 40, I had 320 short story rejections and no books published. A few years later, I've published a short story collection and two novels with another on the way. Believe in yourself like someone who loves you.
We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow.
Here it is:
Selma, 1964:
Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
Average Sunday show interview:
OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats
HOST: how will you pay for it?
OFFICIAL: tariffs
HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money
OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed
HOST: thank u for ur time
New Orleans Community Organizing Fair Sunday January 11 11-9 at the Broadside
Looking forward to seeing folks out at the org fair this afternoon/evening
Help me to understand your math. www.pewresearch.org/politics/fac... says 46% of the US population identifies with or leans toward the Republican party. So 30% of that would be 14%, not 3%?
Art of circles around flowing text: the flowing text reads “This is how change happens” and inside pairs of circles it reads “our actions are working/they are not enough” “nothing we do is sufficient/everything we do matters” “we must be strategic/we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously” and “time is of the essence/we have to work for the long haul”
I think about this basically every day now.
While everything nationally is terrible right now, I am excited for New Orleans’s new Mayor to be inaugurated on Monday.
I’m beyond ready for new energy in City Hall, and I think Helena Moreno is the perfect person to bring it.
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!
It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize
But I was hoping for Karlheinz Stockhausen + Spacemen 3 instead
Gotta love WTUL for their music block of Rachmaninoff + Acid Mothers Temple this morning
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'
#3157 A helpful tutorial
I haven't been to Portland in forever but these costume party ICE protest videos make me want to go back. The Board of Tourism could run them as ads
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleepin' on the sidewalk
No more eatin' my brains

The guy, kind of a long angular face and beak of a nose and raggedy teeth
Every punk band got that one bassist who looks like the first zombie in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

Cultural Regions of the US
This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
Chocolate Watchband unironically seems too mainstream for VOR but this is a fun track either way
the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.
