I feel like Old Louisville is ripe for a used bookstore

when the people who shuttered USAID learn of a diabetic single mother and her disabled son starving to death 9,000 miles away because of aid cuts, they don't see failure or dereliction or tragedy, but rather success: the people they view as unworthy of life are dying

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

BREAKING: Bill Nye says Trump’s NASA budget cuts are “extinction-level.” The White House wants to slash science missions by up to 47% — gutting Earth monitoring, planetary research, even live missions to Mars. Nye warns: this will cripple U.S. space leadership. EU and China will take over.

Almost exactly 32 years ago today, Louisville lost a massive warehouse building in the heart of our downtown live on MTV. While the lot would eventually become a nice green space, this seems like a lost opportunity for a ton of new housing if the building was reutilized instead.

Love the St James Art Fair but kinda entering Karen mode over my neighbors using our pedestrian court to sell parking. Its public ROW but the city won't do anything about it.

Fifth St between York and Broadway is now two way. So this means all of Fifth between Broadway and Gaulbert in Old Louisville is now two way!

Drivers are willing to sacrifice the lives of pedestrians if it means they can cross a bridge 1.8% faster

Good to see the dangerous ass slip lane removed from 2nd and Main. It made this intersection one of the worst for pedestrians downtown.

Overlay permit application meeting coming up for Louisville's next (planned) skyscraper

Looks like parts of Main Street downtown have been downsized to two car lanes + one unprotected bike lane. Seems like some early action is being take on the central phase of Main Remade between 2nd and 10th streets.

I love LMPD man. 10 shots fired in front of my apartment at 6am, towards an elementary school, and the cops never bother to show up after being called.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

New Field Notes is up covering spatial disparities in Louisville's bike and pedestrian Safety. Historical disinvestment resulting from things like redlining still has a profound impact on our built environment and our safety within it: www.udstudio.org/stories/spat...

I wont be able to make it, but tomorrow UDS is hosting a tour of the Trager MicroForest. Learn more about it and get some free coffee/snacks. www.udstudio.org/stories/sept...

Comments to the EPA led by KY Attorney General Russell Coleman made a series of false or unsupported claims about the science of climate change, including suggestions that higher carbon dioxide levels would bring "net benefits" for "millions of Americans." www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

Vibrant, successful downtowns are built on density and walkability. This is something we knew over 100 years ago, but we destroyed much of that so we could displace black residents and make driving more convenient.

Checking discord while at the office and seeing my buddy who gets paid more than me play video games at his work from home job

Also, a new *temporary* transit hub is going in at the Former Greyhound site which is currently an empty field.

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

Happy #TrolleyTuesday These are two of my favorite old pictures of Louisville's trolleys. The first shows 4 trolleys on Liberty St on a 1938 afternoon. The second shows the interior of a Louisville streetcar in 1929.

extremely disappointed to see @repmcgarvey.bsky.social on the Yeas here

It has begun.

Hard not to feel silly doing basically anything now amongst a background of genocide and blatant fascism. All this horrible stuff happening and I am worked up over an assignment for grad school or stuck in a meeting or something.

coates is genuinely a generational writer

Bike lane progressing on Main Street

Many of the biggest hot spots for car crashes downtown seem to be at expressway exits 🤔🤔🤔

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Got an email about a minor mistake i made at work after office hours

One of Bari Weiss’s reporters over at the Free Press was shocked to discover what Columbia students are reading in class: lol wat

Impossible for the avg Louisville driver to comprehend a bike lane

Environmental activists say LG&E/KU, Louisville and Lexington aren’t meeting their pledges to eliminate carbon emissions in the next 15-25 years, as the utility seeks to build more fossil fuel plants.

Really need Louisville Metro DOT to create social media pages so I can be annoying at them

Have to look at jobs for my practicum class and there are so many in Chicago I am qualified for but I cannot actually apply to any until I finish my degree in late 2026

Do we think its about to happen fr

Nature spotting downtown rn, caught a glimpse of this rare and beautiful creature

This is now seemingly the most popular thing I have ever written lol

Infuriated this section of cards is empty. I need to know what this means.

This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.

If "GrAPhiC dESigN iS my pASSioN" was a flag, it would be the #Louisville Metro flag, adopted in 2003 after the city and county merged.

Does anyone know if this emergency alert is a test?

UofL does not need another parking lot. www.louisvillecardinal.com/2025/08/opin...

Been helping with a study in the microforest every week and get to sit in a spot with this nice view most of the time. Always cool when a view of buildings is framed within greenery.

How long must we be forced to endure this national humiliation

This story made me so mad when I was reading it because I *know* it's true. For no reason, here's a comparison of Mayor's Office staff from 2021 and 2025.

Big fan of our city's historic landmarks

One Park finally happening? www.wdrb.com/in-depth/fin...
