I’m for just letting the Spurs and Thunder play all summer

Bottoms up

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Busy week

Louisville: St John Center is slated to lose $117,000 in the FY27 budget. I know better than anybody what this would mean. PLEASE take time to email your council person and ask them to restore funding. Sample language is below and you can find your council person here: apps.lojic.org/metrocouncil...

trying to do the most

Daniel Grossberg has been repeatedly and credibly accused of sexual assault, harassment, and intimidation by several women. Him and his allies have done everything in their power to make life a living hell for those of us who came forward publicly—myself included. (1/3)

This week we talked about Trump’s endorsements, big quick hits, and we talked to Tarah Combs LeBlanc. Tarah is running in the Democratic primary in District 33 to have a chance to run against Jason Nemes: myoldkentuckypodcast.podbean.com/e/an-intervi...

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

Any old Hilltop people go to the new place? They’ve started a Thursday comedy mic and I’m on the show tomorrow?

Too much me talking in this episode imo

Someone in the group chat accidentally summoned an AI chat summary and it was just me harassing my friend about not having a library card. On brand.

This is a five-alarm fire for public access to government records in Kentucky 👇

Kentucky’s governor made a rare statement about the management of the state’s largest public university.

Our most popular newsletter from last year is back!

I think we have two great candidates running for County Clerk. We talked to both of them on the podcast last week if you’re looking for some info to help you decide who to vote for.

Me: I’ll watch the dog while you make dinner Dog, immediately once in my care: *throws up*

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

The budget bill passed by lawmakers trims 1.9% in 2026-27 and 3.7% in 2027-28 from Kentucky university general funds.

“To them, your struggles are just a game,” the Kentucky Democratic Party wrote in a social media post criticizing the cards.

Local media is as important as it has ever been in this country, and the journalists (not AI) at Kentucky Public Radio are out there doing the work, sometimes, until very late into the night. Follow along to learn what happened on the longest legislative night of the year.

LMPD does not know the meaning of (or doesn't give a shit to understand) de-escalation. Shoot to kill. That's it. Even a suicidal woman in mental crisis. I love Louisville. But LMPD is the #1 reason I hate this place. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/c...

Legislature continues to stiffen criminal penalties due to young people with guns and wants to lower the age for people to have guns

The legislature done gone and pissed us off

LMAS is at the point where they're going to have to start euthanizing perfectly healthy dogs because they're overrun with strays they have to take and hold for 5 days. I'm crying in my office. If you have the capacity to foster or adopt, please do.

Tonight!!! 7:30pm eastern time!!! It's time to announce the next season of Media Club Plus and we're doing it LIVE with a screenshot stream! twitch.tv/friendsatthetable

Everyone slept in today. I think we had sports stress hangovers.

I am the one late to post these but check them out if you haven’t listened already. We have some fantastic women running for office in Kentucky.

Bahaha

Louisville friends, probably my last time hosting at the Caravan at Midcity Mall!

The Christian and Devens duo is maybe my favorite thing to see on Survivor. #survivor50

The woman, who was homeless at the time, claimed she was the victim of wrongful arrest, emotional injury, severe bodily injuries and delayed medical treatment.

Kentucky prosecutor charges woman who had an abortion with a crime, even though the law makes clear that women who end their own pregnancies are exempt. Then, prosecutor hastily dismisses the charge and *all but admits* that they simply didn’t read the law first ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

No spoilers, but imo, a great first episode of #Survivor50. A Classic showdown in the first third of the show, big elimination, a new era v. old era journey, but a devastating ending to the episode.

“I’m tired of faith being hijacked to hurt people instead of to help people,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.

Big charter school ruling from SCOKY, let’s talk about it (and also about electric bills in EKY): myoldkentuckypodcast.podbean.com/e/the-suprem...

Grateful for @jbaileyky.bsky.social and @kypolicy.bsky.social and the work they do in analyzing policies and effectively getting that information out to the people!

So proud of of @swandre3000.bsky.social and these peeps. They raised a ton of money, but also, at least from what I heard in my household, they also had a lot of fun doing it which is a great reminder that joy is an act of resistance.
