This timeline really sucks. Don't know how Speed can justify a multi-million dollar park while cutting an entire department whose focus is on making the arts accessible to everyone. Budgets are value statements. They show what you really believe in.

#UPDATE | Republican Kentucky State Senators Chris McDaniel and Donald Douglas added their voices to Rep. Matt Lockett's public call for Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent Demetrus Liggins' to resign on Monday.

Garlic is a helluva drug.

Why do football players not put in their mouth the mouth guards they attach to their face masks? Isn't it just a weird fashion accessory at that point?

The Decemberists make for a perfect coffee shop soundtrack.

The NFL is unreal, man. Are we getting the game of the year in Week 1?

ABSOLUTE. CINEMA. 🙌🍿 The Bills rally back from a 15-point deficit in the 4th quarter to stun the Ravens on a game-winning field goal.

I may have just watched the most incredible football game I've ever witnessed.

Baltimore is getting away with so many calls, it's ridiculous.

PHOTOS: Over 1,000 Labor Day "Workers Over Billionaires" protests were held across U.S. today, taking aim at President Trump and other wealthy Americans, and his administration's policies.

BREAKING: We're getting word that Bill Belichick will start super senior Bom Trady at QB in the 2nd half.

Is there a mercy rule in college football? Asking for a friend.

Watching LSU reminds me that I have no earthly idea why a team would choose its away colors as its home jerseys. LSU basically wears white for most of their games. Idk I'd hate it if I was a player.

The next song to come on was "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve, to add further context.

It will never cease to amaze me how Jars of Clay's pinnacle hit "Flood" somehow crossed over to mainstream. I'm at a brewery in the year of our Lord 2025 and this 1995 song is randomly playing here. #ccm #excangelical

Well, Stoops will beat my 20 point ceiling expectation but blow my 10 point win bet. It does not bode well for this grueling season to win your first game by 8 points is all I'm saying. #bbn

In case you were wondering why Jamarion Wilcox, last season's breakout offensive player, has not recorded a carry: He is not dressed out today. Mark Stoops will provide more information after the game, according to UK.

That throw to Kattis was about as good a throw as a QB can give to his receiver. Then the very next one, everyone looks totally lost. Very concerning looks on down the field offense. #bbn

If I were a betting man, which I am, Kentucky is going to end this game scoring 17 points, 20 at most. #bbn

I've resisted the Jon Sumrall hype but it is worth noting Tulane is beating the pants off Northwestern and UK is leading Toledo by 8. I'll let you decide which is a better opponent - the worst Big Ten team or the best MAC team. #bbn

Kentucky getting off to its signature slow start against a MAC opponent. A lot of the chatter has been on seeing Stoops return to form with tough defense and a strong ground game. Well, this is also signature Stoops. #bbn

Just checking in #BBN. Haven't watched the game to now. FTR I bet the Cats as a 10-point favorite. Wanted them at 7 but such is life.

"These kids were literally praying," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. "It was the first week of school. They were in a church. They should be able to go to school or church without the risk of fear or violence." https://bit.ly/4fZGEqo

To my friend, Gov. Tim Walz, Kentucky is holding all of Minnesota in our hearts. 2/2

American children should be safe and feel safe in their schools, yet today our country faces more heartbreak as we learn of another school shooting, this time in Minneapolis. Britainy and I are praying for the families, students and teachers affected. 1/2

It is extremely ironic how much of the campaign was about "kitchen table" issues: inflation, affordable housing, etc. And yet the presidency we get is tawdry issues like this. I can only imagine the buyers remorse some have who thought he would actually solve their problems.

“It is reprehensible to hear (@mayorgreenberg.bsky.social)'s press secretary speaking with such contempt toward a reporter and attempting to bully him simply for asking questions,” the SPJ’s board said. “Intimidation of this kind undermines democracy and the public trust.”

Journalism is hard enough these days without having a press secretary yell at you on the phone for asking questions about an issue of public concern. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg should be ashamed for this attack on press freedom coming from his office.

The mayor’s spokesperson recently lashed out at a local reporter for asking questions. Press freedom experts say it’s part of a growing trend. lpm.org/investigate/...

Bad news for Kentucky football — this means one less "gimme" win from here on out.

"DC is the capital of our city."

It's not a career. It's not a calling. It's a terminal hobby. You will die doing this. Become a writer.

You ever just reach that point of the day where Michael Scott just starts singing in your head:

This is a really excellent policy!

Most certainly the greatest point guard at UK under John Calipari. Re-watching old highlights, it is still just mind boggling how fast he was with the ball.

“Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into Swansons.”

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) referred to Israel's war in Gaza as a "genocide" during an event in her district yesterday, per a video clip obtained by Axios.

My hot take of the week: bars would be better off without playing loud music in the background.

I miss when this was the internet.

Want to have an epic start to your work day? Listen to the Jurassic Park theme song in the background and I promise you, office work will feel like a life-and-death adventure.
