Landry blaming "far left liberals" for why amendments failed IN LOUISIANA is funny.
Amendment 2 went down 65-35 statewide. Without Orleans it went down 61-39. Without Orleans and Baton Rouge it went down 59-41.

For the amendments on the ballot in Louisiana today, none of them better the lives of non ultra-wealthy people. We're truly just voting "no" to not to make everyday living even worse.

Archaeologists have unearthed the huge tomb of an unknown pharaoh at an Egyptian necropolis, a team of researchers said on Thursday, in what they are calling the second discovery of a king’s tomb this year.
Tomb of Unknown Pharaoh Is Unearthed in Egypt
The burial chamber most likely belonged to a ruler in a line of kings once lost to history, researchers said. “It’s a new chapter in investigating this dynasty.”

I loved the second book in this series by @jesslarmstrong.bsky.social. There's a mystery, a touch (or more) of magic, and a great MC. It's great historical fiction. My review was first posted on Bookreporter.com.
