Elections: Who’s running, what they stand for, when do we vote, where do we go, why are we doing this and how can we make a difference. What’s the point of debating (definitely not informing the public)? Viral moments in politics. And what can we do to take our minds off the vote?

Remembering Oct. 7; preparing for Nov. 3, working with ICE is not cool; fossil fuels mean terminal illness; reflections on the dead and undead; another “No Kings” rally on the way; notes on art, and the joy of music.

Money makes the world go round: Buying “free speech” in religion, politics and sports, and paying for silence. The corpse of Schrödinger’s senator wheels through the U.S. Capitol, while MAGA policies kill Kentucky kids. And finding refuge in bugs, sports and art.

An Appalachian drive goes from paradise found to paradise lost; MAGA politicians treat their constituents like idiots (taking credit where none is due, distancing themselves from their MAGA master and just outright saying as the people who voted for them are idiots); examining the racism behind a local data center; a beloved Kentuckian's take on responsible technology; political action items for the average voter and finding relief in bugs and sports.

Where our hiatuses took us; Kentucky politicians making national news; the state’s economy worsens (while MAGA politicians focus on the irrelevant); the Commonwealth ranks at the top in bottom-feeding statistics, and updates on Louisville’s Community Defense Network.

Visiting our neighbors to the North. Where is our senior senator and what are our government officials doing while we have limited representation? Was our MAGA U.S. Senate candidate behind a controversial billboard? The curse of the "Can Opener." The rise against data centers. And super heroes are just as depressed as the rest of us.

The richest get richer, legislators don’t legislate, and representatives don’t represent. But at least there are diversions!

Our primary election “autopsy” (GOP is evil, Dems are incompetent); a medical emergency portends sad future for Kentucky; get out and visit the state, and Shakespeare is back in Louisville (to like or not to like, with a dramatic reading from a galaxy far, far away).

Election Day in Kentucky and its implications, IVF in the courts and we're out of town at home and abroad.

The Kentucky Derby is at our throats, primary elections are just around the corner and finding relaxation in the countryside and the cityscape.
