Confirmed that the crew working on this is, indeed, Louisville Metro. Why on earth would anyone schedule tearing up the sidewalk next to a polling place on election day is beyond me. What's even wilder is the Deputy Mayor over Public Works (guess who? LOL) votes here. Absolutely fucking stupid.

I'm not sure that there's anything more illustrative of how stupid #Louisville can sometimes be than these pictures I took of the sidewalk outside the Beechmont Community Center just now. Tearing up the sidewalk outside a polling place on Primary Election Day sure is ridiculous.

The tapers taped Trinary System at Le Poisson Rouge last week. Fun show!

This Day in Labor History: May 19, 1920. The Matewan Massacre took place in the small town of Matewan, West Virginia. Let's talk about this key moment of the West Virginia Mine Wars, made famous by the great John Sayles film!

When I call Massie a Bircher, I'm not accusing him of anything he himself wouldn't own. He was the keynote speaker at the JBS's 60th anniversary. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Unsurprisingly not even noticed by Kentucky news media afaik.

Happy 78th birthday to the amazing Grace Jones! 🇯🇲

Please vote for Cassie Lyles. She supports public schools and working families.

Maybe now the Kentucky news media will stop ignoring the blatant antisemitism and bigotry that has been espoused for decades by the Paul family, and their surrogate Thomas Massie.... And then again, it's more likely they'll whitewash it, per usual.

William Paul, the son of Sen. Rand Paul, drunkenly hurled antisemitic insults at Republican Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar “Do you think I’m Jewish?” Lawler asked. “I’m not.” “Oh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew,” Paul said.

Harvey Keitel is 87. Seen here as Qui-Gon Jinn with Willem Dafoe as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Martin Scorsese’s The Phantom Menace.

I'm not sure how much the rest of America knows or understands about the MOVE bombing in Philly, but it was probably the single worst instance of police brutality in American history. I think of it every 5/13 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MO...

yes it's true there's news today but before I get into that can we take a minute to appreciate that 54 years ago this week Ornette Coleman played for the patients of the San Giovanni Psychiatric Hospital and the band took the sound out into the cosmos & it's beautiful. youtu.be/na_3r_bf5gA?...

Oh man, best damn news. John Sayles is finally making another movie! It’s a Western called I PASSED THIS WAY, based on Eugene Manlove Rhodes’s PASÓ POR AQUÍ, starring Amy Madigan and Chris Cooper. variety.com/2026/film/gl...

Happy birthday to the Wonder. An unbroken series of good to great singles, and we can debate whether "Go Home" or "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" deserve top ranking. wp.me/pzXeC-9hw

i'll say it again new streaming platforms are nice but the only way to truly support an artist is to show up at their house with free groceries

"I think I'm getting to be well known in a wider circle, so that people aren't really music lovers. I think a lot of people who might come to a concert now are sensation seekers, and I can't provide that. I can only provide the music." Happy Birthday Carla Bley born May 11, 1936

Randy Michaels, former head of programming for Clear Channel, the guy who brought Rush Limbaugh to national syndication, and alleged serial sexual harasser, is behind this.
