Was there last night. Epic. Have fun!
I can
Uncle Tupelo
I just landed from a flight and was wondering if it happened mid flight what the reaction would be. I assume a mix that would end in a possible fight.
Delta flew me out of the Cincinnati airport located in Kentucky and welcomed me to New York at the airport located in New Jersey. š¤·š¼āāļø
I hope they win every game. As for what I fear? I meanā¦itās college football. My only fear would be that they donāt play the games. āBut what if they lose every game?ā - Well, my friends and I will still text each other throughout the game and coaching searches can be very entertaining. Go CAYTS!

"The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms wonāt touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state." ā Dan Froomkin @froomkin.bsky.social presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
The regime will do what it wants and we only have control over our responses. Let our responses be worthy of our values.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
Perfect. Those words the consultants say Dems should stop using? They don't use them. *Republicans* use them... in the process of saying that Dems use them.
Just walked around this park today with the family and it was fun, vibrant, and beautiful. A great addition to downtown Lexington.
WSJ: āICE has a grueling training process!!ā The grueling training process:
There was a line in @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social newsletter today thatās gonna sit with me for awhile. āEasy to root for, but hard to likeā. Seeing a racist transphobe like Charlie Kirk on the field at Wrigley posing for pics with players is just š¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
Apparently the fine print of the 9 game SEC schedule is making sure each team also plays one quality non-con game. So the Governors Cup lives on!
Iām pre-pissed at UK dropping UL from the schedule because of this.
#WeAreFCPS!
Matt Shaw of the #Cubs runs like Isiah Pacheco of the Chiefs. Pounding that dirt hard!
The ex-Wildcats star, who announced his retirement from pro hoops Tuesday, deserves to be first Calipari-era player with retired UK jersey.
Sing it!
BIG RED ENERGY.
on the occasion of his retirement, i wrote about John Wall, whom i really loved watching defector.com/john-wall-wa...
Iāll also add this about John Wall- he was the best PG of the Cal era. And itās not close. I love Tyler Ulis and this is not shade toward him, but Wall was different. šŖš½ #BBN
- First Number One Overall NBA Draft Pick in Program History - Five Time NBA All-Star - All-NBA Team, 2017 - NBA All-Defensive Second Team, 2015 - NBA All-Rookie First Team 2011 - NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion 2014
Yes. Missed a lot. Achilles injury really derailed him.
I know they didnāt win the title, or even make the final four, but for me the Cal era at UK was Wall and Cousins. So fun, so exciting, so talented. Love them. #BBN
Brett Dawson, a journalist with deep roots in Kentucky sports, returns to his home state after Mat Grafās retirement.
Some stores will offer you a discount on items on your registry that are not purchased by someone. I did this with a wedding registry and got 20% off an X Box.
Thatās awesome! Welcome back to Lexington!

Both Brown and the offense can be bad at the same time. And they are right now.
Terrific work as always from @pbump.com
Another good move is to keep some ones in your pocket so you can bribe small children to bring you food and drink.
164 years later, South Carolina finally occupies Washington.
Youāre not free until weāre free, youāre gonna need a team for that
This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.
Whining about crime is super effective for right wing politicians because there's never going to be zero crime, so it's a good way to constantly sell total bullshit to the two dumbest groups of people in the world: republican voters and the entire media
Why a bunt attempt with Happ? Feels like a massive vote of no confidence from Counsell.
Everything wrong with the teamās offense all right there. Gross.
The top of the 8th was just absolutely brutal for the #Cubs. Two on and no outs. First Happ attempts to bunt twice (I hate sac bunts) and fouls both off. Then Cubs are gifted a wild pitch to get 2nd and 3rd and no outs. And then Happ/Tucker/Kelly go 1-2-3 Ks.
"Zach Calzada started football when āOld Town Roadā was the most popular song in America" is an INSANE line
Taylor Swift is a jam band. She: Plays 3-hour shows Has a hit 10-plus minute song Has a in-jokes for hardcore fans Has fans travel thousands of miles to see her Plays multi-night runs at the same venue Has fans hang out before show, selling bootleg merch Impresses two bearded middle aged podcasters
PSA: I taped a 70-minute podcast with Mark Pope (at his urging!) earlier today. It will be in the feed tomorrow. Pretty great hang and a lot of new ground covered.
āSon, the world's lied to you about what a man is. A man listens for what others need, rather than taking whatever he wants. There, that was the talk. Don't tell your father I waited this long to do his job.ā -Hell is a World Without You, @jasonkirk.fyi
During the tribute, fans can pay their respects to Ryno at his statue while viewing the private funeral service on the Gallagher Way video board. Fans will also be able to learn more about his storied career through his personal collection of memorabilia which is now officially part of the Cubs
First- great band with a lot of great songs. Second- a little surprised this is the only one you know considering their biggest song (Blue) is also off this album.
Democrats run on this simple platform: The GOP is a party of pedophiles and people who protect pedophiles. They send the military to take over American cities. They use your taxpayer money to build concentration camps and employ kidnappers. These things are true.
it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist
One of the new Publix in Lex (Palomar store) has a bar. Called āPoursā. It has draft beer and offer sip n shop.
They play Ole Miss week 2, so you may need to recalibrate
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYCās program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. š§µ x.com/andrewcuomo/...
UK fan here and Calipari was extremely consistent in this and that is always how the announcers would describe it. Drove me nuts.
āDonāt let perfect be the enemy of the goodā This implies that pandering to bigots is āgoodā
Not saying he aināt a good manager but itās clear we all over estimated Counsellās Impact on their success.
Just spoke with God! Apparently that secret chord that pleased him so much was actually just a D7#9, like at the beginning of "Here Comes Your Man."
i really didn't want to read about oasis AGAIN but unsurprisingly, Yasi Selek's piece about going to Wembley is perfect. mostly because she's a fan and she gets it. she is right that there's no point in seeing those shows over here. www.fast-loose.com/p/i-think-th...
Psst, Lexington peoples! We're throwing a party at the Loudon House later this month -- free and fun will be had! (Shiny graphic by @joshaboldt.bsky.social!)
Hearing rumors that the Roberts Court is going to issue a 6-3 ruling declaring that sex trafficking and pedophilia are Totally Legal, Actually.
A moment for something so close to our hearts.

Heās #JustJed. This is what he does. Extremely risk averse. I blame myself for thinking heād do anything else.
I appreciate all you do.
Heās #JustJed
As someone who was born and raised in KY, and has NEVER hunted and has zero desire to ever huntā¦itās crazy how much I love the Sierra Ferrell/Tyler Childers songs about hunting/hunting dogs. Just totally my jam.
the quotes in here are great
I will add that, moving forward, we all need to understand who Jed is as a President. Heās not AJ Preller. Heās #JustJed
I made a promise to myself before the season to enjoy it and not worry about what I canāt control. But Jedās actions, or lack thereof, are making it difficult.
someone on tiktok said this song is āNot Like Us for white peopleā
It's time to hold ICE accountable. It's time to defund ICE. I said what I said.
itās almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the āscary muslimā button
Itās always right to do what is right. And thanks to Dem Govs like @andybeshearky.bsky.social , schools across the country will get every dollar owed to them.
If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list
Here are all your questions answered on why you should leave substack, and how to go about it. No more excuses. Just go.
This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and thereās a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

If I'm known for anything I hope it's being ahead of the curve on this thing being awful and not important to anyone in Kentucky but a small number of journalists and sadistic political operatives.
Iāve always felt it amplified the worst part about politics.
This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover
Before Michael Jordan took over, before Mike Ditka's Bears were at their peak, Ryne Sandberg was Chicago's biggest star. He helped create a new generation of Cubs fans. He was a legend in a city of giants. And he'll be remembered forever. http://dlvr.it/TM9mQg
Ryne Sandberg was more than just a ballplayer. He was a man who changed a team, which transformed a neighborhood, which helped turn a bandbox ballpark called Wrigley Field into a mecca for baseball fans for decades to come. š @pwsullivan.bsky.social
This is the jersey patch the Cubs will wear for the rest of the season to honor Ryne Sandberg:
Ryno remains my all time favorite Cub. I knew this was coming with his cancer diagnosis, but still sad news.
With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.
Sabrina is so mad she has to go get Paige from school because she skipped algebra #wnba
My reaction when I see Ben Brown getting another start for the #Cubs today.
Just watched over an hour of Jackass on YouTube with my kids. Could be great. Could be a disaster.
Weird Cubs game when the two worst hitters in the lineup go DEEP!
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...
If Kindness is the new Punk Rock than Teachers are the new Punk Rockers.
Added a weighted vest to my fitness journey after reading @channel6.bsky.social advice from a strength coach. Only con so far is my wife told me I look like an ICE agent.
This whole thing is a delight but Hroniss popping up in it made me giggle
āLocal Shrimpā is not a bad name for a band.
Trump froze $96 million meant for Kentucky schools. Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social took him to court. Now, every penny is coming back to our schools. This is what fighting for our kids looks like.
