FINAL PASSAGE: House votes 85-11 to repeal law prohibiting insurance companies from canceling/refusing to renew policies that homeowners have had with company for at least 3 years. HB611 has higher cancellation hurdles for policies already in effect. Bill to governor. #lalege
Who will lead the new city of St. George? What will be the timeline for governance? How will the city provide services? When will the new school district be formed? Those are some of the questions that remain unanswered. businessreport.com/business/whats…
We no longer hyphenate double-e combinations with the prefixes pre- and re-. That's because of common usage and dictionary preferences. So it's now preelection, preeminent, preempt, preestablished, preexisting, reemerge, reemphasize, reemploy, reenact, etc.
To celebrate William Shakespeare's 460th birthday, here are his 46 best (and strangest) insults:
No one is going to read it! Go crazy. Get nuts. Prince said it first: We're all excited. We don't know why. Maybe it's because we're all going to die
VIDEO: Watch as the storms approached and moved into Baton Rouge early Wednesday. Look closely, and you will spot a shelf cloud. #LAwx
I can address this. 1) There truly is no plan at this time – the developers will provide that. We are not yet at that point, however. Remember, we are still early in this process. We expect TAF to have proposals from the developers by June 30. I hope this does not strain…

People who are “mean” are weak. The world ain’t been kind to you? You use that as an excuse to be insufferable? Rude? Evil? Childish. Kindness isn’t naive, it’s transcendence of the human condition. It’s strength. Mean people have nothing to offer. Kind people offer it all.

Question for those of you out there, who have successfully navigated a mortgage: Is there a journalism outlet that you regularly went to for info? Or was it info from bank websites or elsewhere?
I was told by an orthopedic surgeon Monday morning that what I was feeling in my leg was just a bad cramp and nothing to worry about. I'm glad I decided to take myself to the ER Monday night because I knew something was really wrong. It was a clot and it might have killed me.
I have a lot of respect for doctors but everyone misses stuff. The last few months have taught me that you need to be your own advocate in medical situations. Listen to the experts, but listen to yourself as well. Speak up when you need to.
The simple checklist to rapidly improving at Jiu-Jitsu: - train with partners of varying skill - positional training every day - strength and conditioning 2-4x week - don't cut weight - use techniques to learn concepts - compete often - get tapped often - train wrestling/judo
We no longer hyphenate double-e combinations with the prefixes pre- and re-. That's because of common usage and dictionary preferences. So it's now preelection, preeminent, preempt, preestablished, preexisting, reemerge, reemphasize, reemploy, reenact, etc.
To celebrate William Shakespeare's 460th birthday, here are his 46 best (and strangest) insults:
No one is going to read it! Go crazy. Get nuts. Prince said it first: We're all excited. We don't know why. Maybe it's because we're all going to die
The Best Jobs For Anyone Who Wants to Train As Much As Possible Unfortunately, I could only list jobs that I have experience with (and people close to me have experience with). What jobs did I miss?
I've done a good job of maintaining good relations with the many crows in my neighborhood. But I fear i've pissed one of them off by clucking at it, and he's now taking revenge (pooping on my car)
One of my small joys at the capitol is teaching people about Lizard Time (soaking up heat on the steps until it’s unbearable). It’s critical to get out of the cold and dark for a little bit #lalege
This photo from the Eclipse is funnier when you realize that the pyramid is a Bass Pro Shop 🎣
i'm excited about the future, both theirs and mine, but today is hell. many thanks to @aNateScott for giving me a job that hurts this much to leave. and thanks to my FTW colleagues for making every day here weird and hilarious and so, so special. onward, forward. -30-
@MMartinelli4 i really just wanted to say i've had the privilege of working with a staff of truly wonderful people for three years who also happened to be insanely smart, funny and good at the internet. it hurts to leave them knowing how rare it was to find them in the first place.
@MMartinelli4 but this isn’t a linkedin ad about how to replicate this environment at work — partly because i don’t believe employees should feel pressured into creating personal bonds, partly because it takes more than creating a positive culture for that environment to happen organically
I haven’t worked at many places where the staff took care of each other the way this one does. we even have a designated slack channel to organize kind gestures whenever someone is going through something significant, whether good or bad. (s/o to @MMartinelli4 for taking that on)
it was the same when she died, an incredible outpouring of love from people who owed me nothing. i’ll never have the words for what their support meant to me.
their response was to ignore me (smart) and send food delivery gift cards and venmos for coffee and just the most beautiful, encouraging words that i clung to on the darkest days. i was floored.
shortly after i started the job, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. i had to start traveling to md anderson on a regular basis for her appointments and wanted to make things seem as normal as possible for the staff by downplaying how difficult that time was.
but i was lucky to have a staff that did lean into it and the belief that you can tell great stories, no matter the subject, whether you’re eviscerating brett favre or ranking cereals or writing this spectacular headline (s/o to @marycclarke)
