“How Meta Got Everything It Wanted” reminds me of city leaders crowing over their savvy deal with AirBnB, which was actually a giveaway to the industry. AirBnB once offered me $3000 to write a quick piece on New Orleans neighborhoods. I turned it down and you’re welcome.

A lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

August 1st is Coming ⚔️ During the 2026 #lalege Session, the City secured major #SWBNO reforms with the passage of HB 1243. Now Act 938, the new law officially takes effect on August 1st, marking a new era of accountability for the Sewerage & Water Board. www.instagram.com/p/DbLdypOj2zp/

Happy Father’s Day, New Orleans! Being a dad has been the greatest adventure of my life. Some days I’m teaching my kids how to play video games, and other days they’re teaching me patience. The days can be messy, loud, and unforgettable all at once, and I’m grateful for every second of it.

Celebrating Juneteenth — Freedom Day. Today, we honor the enduring spirit, achievements, and contributions of Black people throughout our nation's history. The trailblazers and pioneers of our community upon whose shoulders we all stand.
