Update: The mother of the teen has posted bond as of Friday evening. I'll be continuing to update this story with Louisiana Illuminator || bsky @lailluminator, Pulitzer Center and Greg LaRose

Seems legit.

Hey NOLA Ready, maybe we should give the OK for neutral ground parking a little earlier than 10 minutes before the heavy rain arrives.

I did a thing. #geauxvote

You have to appreciate that the man tasked with updating the OMV’s 50-year-old mainframe shares a name with the man known for “Summer of ‘69” - maybe the last time that mainframe worked as intended. fox8live.com/2025/04/02/lou…

Good for Rory. Good for golf. Great for Zurich Classic! ⛳️

Not me checking my budget to see if there’s room to buy a new set of golf clubs …

I keep waiting for a push notification to tell me John Foster has captured the escaped inmates from OPP

In case you’re wondering, Entergy generates electricity, but MISO controls when and where it’s delivered to customers.

While it’s encouraging that a PSC member is getting answers, it should be noted the federal govt, not the state, regulates MISO. Accountability in store? Way too soon to say.

Again, it’s still early, and maybe these details will come. But this is the norm for a regional power distributor that doesn’t have to answer to state or local regulators.

#UPDATE about today’s power outage Follow N.O. City Council Utilities Committee for more info

Good explanation of what’s happened. Note that you can expect any higher power costs to land in a future bill. MISO will be pressed to answer why the peak demand load wasn’t anticipated. Pretty sure they have access to weather forecasts, too.

I would be reluctant to call what’s happening “rolling blackouts.” Maybe “partial blackout” because “rolling” implies planning was involved. So would “brownout.” #wordsmatter #wordnerd

Public utility, as in publicly traded among shareholders - not as in public service

I wonder if any data centers in the MISO footprint had to reduce their demand today.

Buc-ees is the new Blue Bell flavor reveal of the news cycle.
