I recently reported that Bossier Parish, Louisiana, voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom rules I'd ever seen. It begged the question: Why? Enter Aurora + Shae, who were allegedly attacked by an anti-trans mob near a Parish bathroom in May. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Trans Couple Brutalized At Louisiana Park Bathroom, Then Charged By Police

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

Sometimes you be wrong and that’s okay

idrk what a nodal return means but I hope it involves a soft landing 😅

Someone finally told them. The stretch of land SpaceX is looking to acquire is situated between the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge to its west and an Audubon-owned site, the Paul J. Rainey Sanctuary, to its east. Both provide key habitat for migratory bird species.

We have delayed or stopped over $130 BILLION in data center related costs. WE ARE WINNING!! Don’t let up!!

People keep saying that AI is inevitable and I’m here to tell you that no the fuck it is not. 😘

I’m trying to bring solutions instead of just critiquing people. I do data center work EVERY DAY and I learn in real time that not everybody has the same knowledge base as the people on this app. Some people’s awareness of AI starts and stops at the forced application of it. Each 1 Teach 1 🙏🏾

Jeff continues to sell off Louisiana's future with empty promises of wealth. Yes, Louisiana needs more diversification in its economic base, but he's just colluding with billionaires who will lay waste to the environment, hire very few locals and pay no taxes. #NOLAsky www.nola.com/news/busines...

SpaceX is planning a rocket-launching spaceport in coastal Louisiana. Here are the plans.

After months of speculation, a source close to the deal has confirmed an 18-mile stretch of coastal south Louisiana called Pecan Island will be the site for a new space port for Elon Musk's SpaceX.

@oksoboom.blacksky.app has offered to make flyers, share templates, and teach DIY classes.

I mean… duh? But for people/ orgs who are cash strapped? I believe in paying people for their labor AND I understand that many people do not have the means to right now.

maybe we just pay graphic designers instead of cutting corners and costs, altogether

Maybe we can treat this like community moderation by gathering a group of volunteer flyer makers so that our folks don’t feel like they have to rely on the poison machine.

Yall, please, I beg, STOP MAKING AI FLYERS!!!! 😭😭😭

The fact that we are giving mf Pecan Island to ELON MUSK to blow our coastline and its already fragile ecosystem away has me shaking mad this morning

The AI flyers are killing us. Literally.

the cost of generation, transmission and gas plants built to serve the data center — and how much of it Meta actually needs — feeds directly into what ends up on ordinary Louisianans' utility bills, since ratepayers can be on the hook for infrastructure costs www.wwno.org/2026-07-31/j...
