@CourtyardBrew @jazzcatmama But based on the photo it looks like the medical office tower across from the hospital

@CourtyardBrew @jazzcatmama It’s right at prytania and delachaisse. Didn’t want to walk the dog too close so I don’t know more

Big fire near Touro hospital right now

It seems like everyone thinks this is Michael Pollan endorsing RFK but I think it's just him carelessly retweeting an article in which he's mentioned? Either way my takeaway is we're in a fraught and interesting moment when it comes to the politics of food

Oh to be a fly on the wall at this meeting

I’ll be reporting on President Trump’s @Interior Department for the next four years. If you work at DOI, BLM, FWS, NPS, USGS or other agencies and have information to share now or in the future, please get in touch: jimmytobias@protonmail.com

This conversation for Madison BookBeat was one of my favorites in a long time. Hope you'll give it a listen! wortfm.org/we-do-not-make…

Got to meet a bunch of very cool new friends this weekend who wrote a bunch of very cool books

@bencosgrove Fair enough and I should go there more often!

@BoyceUpholt It's only on a real technicality that Jean Lafitte doesn't count, though, imo

Life in the red zone, sigh

I’ve walked across this spot several times while in Little Rock for work, and like @BoyceUpholt, I’ve never really known what to make of the place. He tried to peel the onion a bit here: open.substack.com/pub/southlands…

My dentist was way too eager to prescribe me opioids for a root canal that caused me almost no pain

Gonna be in Grand Lake, Colorado, tomorrow and Thursday morning with a little bit of downtime. Any recommendations?

@jasondovemark @MattWeiland @wwnorton Julia mentioned this to me last week! Congrats -- can't wait to read. You're in good hands!

Some personal news, as the kids say ... I'm beyond psyched to announce that I'll be working with @MattWeiland and the good folks @wwnorton on a book (a manifesto no less!) about the shifting baseline syndrome and antidotes to environmental amnesia -->

Tonight at 6pm PT / 8pm CT, I'm doing an online reading via the Yakima Valley Library. Just realized it's open to anyone, anywhere in the world -- so please feel free to tune in! yvl.org/a-o-l/

River-related academics: consider submitting proposals for this conference in Minneapolis next summer! ucowr.org/conference/cal…

Liz and I went to the festival a few years ago, and found the whole thing so depressing--especially when the execrable Clay Higgens rode past atop a darkly militaristic bus--that we had to slip out of town, down the bayou. Somehow this seems unsurprising. lailluminator.com/2024/09/30/tes…

I was so honored to be up at @LSU's Center for River Studies last week. @clintwillson, @LSUCWprogram , and @LouisianaCPRA we great hosts!

The stories coming out of Western NC remind so much of thae 1927 Flood. We decided back then that disaster was justification for completely ensnaring the Mississippi in infrastructure. How about we decide this one is cause for addressing climate change?
