I just don’t think you can honestly worship a man executed by the state and abide the death penalty.

I will be moderating Fayette Alliance's forum with the At-Large Council candidates later this month! There will be a whole lot of new faces on Council next year - including at least one new At-Large member who will represent all of Lexington. Get to know them! fayettealliance.com/at-large-can...

At-Large Candidate Forum - Fayette Alliance
Hear directly from the At-Large council candidates running for election in Lexington-Fayette County who will be on the ballot in November.

however the election shakes out, a minor lesson of 2026 is that maine is basically an alien planet where everyone is a grumpy old salt retiree at birth and we should consider giving them to canada as an apology and goodwill gesture for what we did to the Expos

Heathcliff Panel:
Two birds are in a birdbath. One bird looks up and sees Heathcliff watching from the bushes wearing a bib that says 'Greg'. The bird says to the other whose back is turned "Just let it happen. We can't interfere with nature."New Yorker Panel:
Nature documentarians are filming penguins. One penguin walks up to the boom mic operator and takes his wallet. The videographer says "Watch yourself, Greg."

Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

Many men rape; many men giggle encouragingly, or shrug indifferently, when their friends rape. Many men rape, and few seem to think that it’s a very big deal

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The only thing you can really hope for from a mass list of this kind, from that type of outlet is most people looking at it and being like, "Yeah, that definitely could be worse," which NYT has achieved each time IMO. But we all get to be happy and mad about some particular point so it's still fun.

I have always felt like Modern Family is a psy-op. I have never even chuckled at it and don't know anyone who is into it. And it's only ahead of Always Sunny by one spot, but still pisses me off that it's ranked higher.

Today is my last day at the Lexington Herald-Leader. After more than seven years as a journalist in my home state of Kentucky and more than four on this wonderful team, I'm embarking on a new (and unknown) chapter. But first, I'd like to recap some of my favorite work for @kentucky.com.

Dude it was an incredible. Lost a few songs because of a 40-minute storm delay in the middle, but the rest of the show was the perfect amount of rain. Lightning struck during Via Chicago, we all got soaked during Heavy Metal Drummer. The bad weather elevated an already excellent show.

I find it so funny in general, but there's an added layer for me because in JD Vance's new book - which for some reason I read - he repeatedly uses "sh*t."

This story - an interview with a woman who lives in one of the 60+ condemned apartments in Cardinal Valley owned by a PA company - went up the morning I got laid off. I forgot to put it here, but I hope you all will read what is most likely my last big story. www.kentucky.com/news/local/a...
