If the rumors are true about Louisiana Tech, I fear my argument that Jeff Landry’s the most powerful governor since Edwin Edwards is even more cemented.

It took six months and by far the hardest stretch yet, but I have completed 25 total days worth of comprehensible input Spanish in a little over a year. Got to do my final hour of level 4 with my good friend Rubén from Chile with a crosstalk session. Next up: level 6
Derek J. Amaya@derekamaya.bsky.social · 7mo agoNow at level 4 with Dreaming Spanish! No more Duolingo, and I've completed all Babbel lessons. I’ll continue comprehensible input, read guided readers with audio, and find someone to crosstalk with. May start practicing speaking later. ¡Vámanos!
It’s a tough team. First game of the season. But I have never the same hype everyone else did with Shough.
Anybody know what this sound could be? Sounds like a duck or goose. But I’ve never heard them this loud at night.
25 years ago today, Ms. Scambra did the impossible. She sat down 20 scared, confused, and vulnerable fourth graders and just … talked. To the best of her ability explained the unfolding situation and answered all our questions. I know with the weight of today that this doesn’t seem so important.
Ocean Springs is lowkey really cool. Every single stop on the Amtrak Mardi Gras line is a good time.

We talked about this during my last crosstalk session with my Venezuelan professor. Highly recommend reading. This is one of those stories that will fly under the radar over the next decade, but will have more impact on our daily lives than you realize.

Me: “Country music sucks!” Me when “Life is a Highway” plays:
Louisiana. Our leaders are showing that its stupid flagship university’s football team in its shittiest city is more valuable and worth more to fight for than your healthcare, basic human rights, and education. Act accordingly.
Louisiana. State leaders are showing you that its stupid flagship university football team in its worst city takes priority over basic human rights, healthcare, and education. Act accordingly.
But for the opposite reasons this meme was probably created for.

Old me would have blocked this account. But Lane Kiffin era me wants them to bear witness the generational trolling I will do when it ultimately fails.
About as bold a prediction as you could possibly make. It would have to exceed the already lofty expectations for the site. Not entirely impossible, but my god temper the expectations a bit. It’s not an election year after all.
When you respond to the Hispanic office cleaner who said “Hello” to you with “Hola! Hola!” And she responds back with “Como estas?” And you say “Bien. Bien. Y tu?”
Bring back that high octane LA Tech offense baby!!!

Made a friend from Copiapó, Chile, through crosstalk. Been practicing over the last several months. They shouted out me and New Orleans last night on a Deportes Copiapó post match radio show. The New Orleans Saints - Deportes Copiapó pipeline about to go wild. 🔥
Those new fentanyl billboards with Jason Williams looks like Jason is about to use the fentanyl. Completely unnecessary for him to be on the billboards.
New Orleans if they fixed Franklin Ave. and N. and S. Robertson Streets.
If this man married a New Orleans woman in this heat, his ass would have called weeks before his A/C went out.
Someone really looked at a live crawfish in mud and said, “That would taste good after boiling in some spicy water.” Absolute legend.
