Second-line parades face challenges as NOPD announces stricter enforcement of regulations With the New Orleans second-line season just weeks away, an announcement by the city police department that insurance requirements and other rules will be more strictly enforced has alarmed members

This piece fails to convey crucial context: NOPD just told the clubs for the first time that they have to pay for โ€œinsuranceโ€ for trolleys, but not what kind, or how much. The clubs literally canโ€™t comply, and parade season starts in a couple weeks.

I firmly believe the ent-shittification of all our technologies is contributing. I didnโ€™t need their help to ruin my Maryland-public education spelling or grammar.

I was already Krewe of Typo royalty, but since moving to Germany, even my spellcheck is crossed up with 2 different languages. I get zero help from my phone.

I agree with you. I guess my concern is that, coming from the southern United States, where monuments to the confederacy are revered as sacrosanct, that the AFD could repeat that tact here as well.

I understand the monument being erected. What I donโ€™t understand is that after 80 years of Erinnerungskultur that a monument honoring the โ€žheroes that servedโ€œ the years 1939-1945 wouldโ€™ve been adjusted or removed by now.

Looks like an LLC called 1212 Royal bought the property, but thereโ€™s almost no info on them on the secretary of stateโ€™s website. Thereโ€™s only one agent listed and theyโ€™re using Royal St address as legal and mailingโ€ฆ

BREAKING: Der Adenauer ist umstellt. Die @polizeiberlin.bsky.social bei der nรคchsten rechtswidrigen Beschlagnahmung. Diesmal mit Kran!

Offizieller Grund? 2 Dezibel (!) zu laut. Was hier lรคuft, ist keine Lรคrmmessung, sondern ein politisches Manรถver gegen eine unliebsame Stimme.

Iโ€™m only going if Jimmy Johnโ€™s makes specialty subs featuring Advocare ingredients for the occasion.

Awesome. They used to do a thing where if you tagged them on social media, they would bring a free order of bacon to the table, but I may be dating myself with how long ago that was.

If you need any different ideas, I can check with my mom and sister that still live there. They may have some more up to date recs.

I would say Iron Rooster or Carrolโ€™s Creek depending on budget & if you wanna be more casual. Another spot for lunch downtown would be Galway Bay, itโ€™s an Irish pub, but when they took over the lease for the building, they bought the previous restaurants crabcake recipe.

Vielleicht- und hear me out - ist der Schienenverkehr keine marktwirtschaftliche Einrichtung.

Denkmal fรผr Gefallener Soldaten mit eisernen Kreuz

Hallo Bezirk Steglitz-Zehlendorf, was zum Teufel ist das fรผr ein Denkmal? Ich hรคtte gedacht, dass der Garde-Schutz nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg aufgelรถst wurde. Feiern wir auch die โ€žgefallenen Heldenโ€œ der NS-Zeit? Das kann nicht im ernst gemeint oder?

I see how for you and most people, it can be depressing. I think my brain is just broken from hurricanes and trying to hide in bathtubs during tornadoes, now not having to face that. The weather here is oddly one thing I canโ€™t seem to bring myself to complain about.

Moved here from New Orleans, US last year and Iโ€™m also actually enjoying this weather instead of 40 degrees daily. I may grow tired of this eventually, but I doubt any time soon.
