Take me back to Carnival Season and let me have this lady's vibe and energy for a few days. 🎭

Gulf Coast Life yall

From the ancient world of 2012, here's my favorite fireworks fail video ever. Up there with Back It Up, Terry for me, for sure. Them motherfuckin bootleg fireworks shit youtu.be/UocjQ5uiucg?...

Motherfucking Bootleg Fireworks - Subtitled Versionyoutu.be I saw this video and thought it was amazing. I then thought that people might want to see what the camera man was actually saying.

Happy 4th of July! Here's some vintage firecrackers.

Everyone: "Have a Happy 4th!" Railroad folk & basically anyone doing shift work:

7/3 & 7/5 the Island will be showing Jaws on the beach. You can watch from in the water, where very real sharks patrol their turf for food. 🏝

PeePaw went to the Waffle House. You think he'd ever seen pre-shredded taters come out of a carton before? He probably shouldn't be eating that. Also, what kind of lotto did they hold to see who got to be the "customers" in there at the time?

fuck load up on your physical media if you can. torrent like a madman if you can't. streaming isn't coming to save the day. behave like you got a hot tip about plans to burn the Library of Alexandria.

Sony Group Corp. will reportedly cut around 250 jobs from its recordable media business' key manufacturing hub “It will also gradually cease production of optical disc storage media products, including Blu-ray discs, according to the sources”

The area in red is basically what I consider to be The Deep South. The gold area is the Creole Coast. The Northern Caribbean. French Louisiana. Etc.

A couple quick Southern hot takes for yall: 1. Sweet Tea sucks. It's not as popular on the Gulf Coast as it is in the heart of the South, which leads me to... #2. The Gulf Coast is not the Deep South. It's too Catholic and Creole and Caribbean and French and Spanish to be.

For the first time in my life, I bought the big pizza box thing of eggs at the store. And then left them in my car overnight. 🙎‍♂️

Saw my first cybertruck in the wild today, so I guess I'm out the game.

Our horror movie club meets every Monday during October, but we do a couple meetings through the year. This Monday is "Radical 80s Sports" night. So we're doing this double feature. I ordered Godfather's pizza, bc that was what we had when I was a kid. Which pizza is the most 80s to you??? 🚴‍♀️🏄‍♂️🍕

I finally caved and upgraded my phone. It should be here early next week. I am sending this transmission via a Samsung Galaxy S9, like a caveman.

People think of the 60s as being wild, and they were. Mais, look at this ad from 1961. 😮

Geez. They're already lining up out there. 😢🌀

One of my coworkers brought me a huge tupperware of Shrimp Creole, which was my mom's specialty. 🦐⚜ 🥲

@ajmacready.bsky.social Happy birthday, muh dude!

A champion has passed into the next realm. A guy who used to set up on the side of the route every Fat Tuesday and cook grits and grillades and hand it out to whoever wanted it for free. May whoever runs across you in the afterlife be well-fed and rum-soaked. 😢

Remain diligent, Gulf Coast. 🙏🤞

I, for one, appreciate the increased difficulty level of the #EldenRing xpac, Shadow of the Erdtree. People had gotten too comfy with cozy ol grandpa, Elden Ring and From Software.

I have a few 4k discs. Movies that I love, but hadn't made it past the DVD era in our library. Herein, I will rank them, based on how much of an upgrade it feels like. Ghostbusters 4/10 -some of it actually looks worse than DVD quality Animal House 5/10 -not too noticeable [Continued]

Just had my first Creole tomato & Blue Plate mayo sandwich of the year. It was like a treat from the gods.

Tonight, me. Tryna drink a 12 pack of 8% beers. Don't think less of me. This tweet took like 30 minutes to properly composed Here's the best gif ever

Taking care of my dad. He watches Newsmax constantly. I don't know if yall are familiar with this channel, but it's like a jumped up Fox News. He doesn't watch Fox anymore because it's too liberal 😆 Every commercial is aimed squarely at boomers. Meaning, medicine and shit like that.

Paying by check satisfies some latent luddite tendencies in me, but it's super annoying when they don't cash it for weeks.

I see a lot of facebook posts, and other social media, disclosing "where the locals go" secrets. Whether it's in New Orleans, or on the Island, or in your own home town.... SHUT THE FUCK UP. You don't want your favorite poboy shop or watering hole inundated with tourists, I promise.
