Yesterday the White House announced plans to ask Congress to rescind approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports public radio and TV stations. This is a serious threat to your public radio stations. LPM receives about 5% of its annual budget from the CPB.

Schatzel is gone and this will now mark, for some students, 4(!) uni presidents at U of L.

Linking my work I did at the Cardinal about her. She was rarely available for an interview, but we got one!

Firstly, my conversation with her back in April of ‘23:

There's probably something to be said about how the degradation of online spaces by AI spam and the degredation of physical spaces by suburbanization and hyper-individualism combined are gonna lead to people being the most isolated theyve ever been. I imagine this also makes polarization worse.

After losing by nearly 100 votes in 2024, I knew I wanted to continue fighting to break the GOP Supermajority.

Republicans outspent Democrats 8:1 in 2024. They spent over $500k in my race. We must fight back.

That is why I have decided to launch Better Bluegrass.

Some TARC stops still have so much snow and ice that folks with mobility aids have to stand in the street to board. These are on busy roads, usually near intersections. People with disabilities shouldn't have to put their lives at risk to use transit.

For being the NFL GOAT, Tom Brady is woefully underwhelming as a commentator.

You’d think for someone of his playing acumen he’d offer SOME higher level of insight. Am i the only one?

Fans definitely have in-game anxiety atrophy. We’re all getting re-used to staying in a game for 40 minutes, riding all the swings. For three solid years none of the games mattered. Boundaries were easy to maintain. Welcome back to proper sports co-dependence, Louisville fans. Let’s get toxic.

Cardinals’ stock just keeps rising.

After the mediocrity of the Mack era-and then the whole Payne debacle-it feels almost foreign to see this level of success this soon.

Really thinking they can close out the rest of schedule strong!
