You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Unrelated note: Please don't say "Like Girls Gone Wild?" in a hushed tone on your work phone. It's creepy.

Was it hushed and awed? Like he was mentioning El Diablo Robotico?

Meanwhile. Falcon outside my window. This is good for taking the mind off stuff. Unfortunately, that includes work. Bad tea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was it hushed and awed? Like he was mentioning El Diablo Robotico?

Hushed and eager. Like he was mentioning Jasmine during the thrall.

More canal breach flooding predicted

Tuesday, 6:35 p.m.

Mayor Ray Nagin issued an urgent bulletin through WWL-TV at 6:30 p.m.

Nagin said efforts to stop the flow of water at the breach on the 17th Street Canal are failing, which means the floodwaters will rise again.

Nagin said the waters will soon overwhelm the pump, shutting it down. He said the water will rise to 3 feet above sea level - or 12-15 feet in some places of east Jefferson and Orleans parishes.

Nagin has advised residents who have not already evacuated to do so as soon as possible.

Silence means security silence means approval

I'm watching still more video from New Orleans. It's an addiction, I tell ya.

It's just... I'm speechless. They're showing thousands of people who have been rescued by private boats standing on the freeways. Just... wow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Where is everyone supposed to evacuate to?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oz.

How far to Mexico?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's it. New Orleans is going to be the Lost Submerged City without that levee fixed. Fifteen feet under? That's not so fixable later.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm wondering how they're going to get people out of the Superdome (not to mention everywhere else, but there's what, 60,000 people or so there now). Helicopters are the only real option, right?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Boats?
