Hey Jon @jon_wertheim, seems like Alcarez & Sinner deserve serious consideration for Sportspeople of the Year. That photo of them with arms around each other after the ATP Finals says it all: the best at their sport, full of respect for each other.

Hey @jazzfest why did you stop enforcing the no chairs and blankets areas yesterday? It made a big mess at Congo Square and caused problems at the other main stages. This is your best new rule of the last 20 years - enforce it!

[Keith Twitchell @twitchell_keith]

Just wondering: has anybody looked into whether @RepMTG is a Russian agent? She and a lot of other House Republicans sure spout Russian propaganda just as it comes out from the KGB.

We are wasting a lot of time banning books. Quite justifiably, we are now adding those dastardly dictionaries and rape, murder and sex-filled bibles. But why waste all this time when there is a simple solution: let's just ban libraries! #bookbanning #library

Wore my @Pierre_Thomas jersey to the Saints game yesterday and they played maybe their best game of the season. One of my all-time favorite Saints is still contributing to the team!

Maybe we in New Orleans should get some folks together and launch a "Louisiana Committee" to advise Jeff Landry on what needs to be improved in the state. At least we would all be actual residents .... #jefflandry

Check out my latest venture, with my friend James Moises, wine person extraordinaire: https://t.co/XAye9awU9e. If you love wine and you love New Orleans, we have some fun and entertainment for you! #winelover #winetasting #NewOrleans

Another observation from France: the authorities love to make tons of rules, but don't much seem to care about enforcing most of them. This cultural attitude may explain a lot about New Orleans ....

[Keith Twitchell @twitchell_keith]

After a week in Paris, I can say that there are many ways to describe the City of LIghts -- and one completely legitimate ways is to call it one giant stairmaster.

I hope you will join me in supporting Global New Orleans @globalNOLA today (https://t.co/dQBIQbCIMD)! Also worth support: @BetterNOLA @UrbanConserv and many others! #GiveNOLA Day #GivingStories.

Congrats cashless @jazzfest for a truly epic fail! I've been going to JF since 1980, and I have never bought less food and beverage than today. Not gonna waste half an hour of my Fest in a line. What a (predictable) disaster.

[Keith Twitchell @twitchell_keith]

Kudos to @jazzfest for respecting the many gig economy workers in New Orleans who operate largely on a cash basis by going cashless at the Fest this year. Looking forward to the longer lines as well.

Observation from NOLA On Tap yesterday (other than beer festivals need more Port-o-lets): I saw friends out there from all the way across the political spectrum - maybe what the world needs is more beer diplomacy?

My @BizNewOrleans weekly blog is being converted to a monthly piece for the print magazine, so herewith the last edition, fittingly a look at one of our local wine industry players: https://t.co/70OeDZjayb Cheers and thanks for reading!

How ironic is it that, in his relentless, insatiable pursuit of power, @SpeakerMcCarthy @kevinomccarthy gave up pretty much all his power?

Think New Orleans is recovered from Katrina? Get the real story in my @BizNewOrleans blog: https://t.co/TLsOwCa0Hx We need ALL of our city back.

Green thumb or not, there's nothing like some greenery around the house, and here's a great source for everything plant-related (and more) in my @BizNewOrleans blog: https://t.co/wmRP1sAJHi
