You don’t have to understand every lyric to appreciate the moment, sometimes unity sounds different than what you’re used to… and that’s kind of the whole point.

That’s because music is universal. It connects people, it doesn’t separate them. So we can’t claim to be proud of our diversity and then get upset when someone speaks another language, celebrates a different culture, or performs music that isn’t tailored to us.

All of this outrage over Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl is honestly weird to me. I grew up being taught that the United States is a melting pot. That our differences aren’t supposed to divide us. They’re supposed to be celebrated. They’re part of what actually brings us

Indy definitely isn’t laying down in this game. Seattle probably wakes up in half two but I’m loving the fight today

Daniel Jones' looked much better on his last run. That injury seems to be improving, which the Colts predicted.

@LouisvilleFB Just an incredibly sad showing from all 3 phases. Can’t believe I’m worried about effort level of the team going into the rivalry game vs UK. This team needs to be better.

My faith teaches me that food is lifegiving and meant to be shared. From the miracle of fishes and loaves to the Last Supper, we are called to feed and care for each other. The Trump administration prohibiting SNAP benefits is wrong. We should be fighting hunger, not causing it.

Y'all gotta go watch Quenton Nelson and Tanor Bortolini. Those dudes are absolutely slaughtering people together this year.

My faith teaches me that you love your neighbor as yourself – no asterisks, no exceptions. That stands even if we disagree. No leader should take pride in having hate for their opponents. Hate leads us nowhere. It has no place in our country, in our society or in our politics.

@stoolpresidente No. This is not “one of the darkest days in American history.” So much hyperbole here or a lack of knowledge of American History. Should we be condoning political violence? Absolutely not. Charlie Kirk in no way deserved to die. I hope his shooter is prosecuted to the fullest.

RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

@CMPiagentini @courierjournal Behavior plays a role, but behavior is shaped by environment. We can predict crime, income, and life expectancy by zip code. Areas with fewer resources tend to have higher crime and lower upward mobility. It’s generational and I was raised in a low income area of Louisville.

@Just_Torrence @courierjournal The east end is loaded with people who moved there from south and west end. The people who moved were law abiding people who were sick of the crime. Nothing to do with where you are born. Has to do with how you behave. Grocery stores will always build in low crime areas.

status quo and without discomfort, change doesn’t happen. Let me be crystal clear. I am not advocating for violence, however, it is naive to ignore the fact that, throughout history, violence has often played a role in driving real change.

Movement in 1960s America. Mainstream society didn’t begin to make police brutality an issue until the violence was caught on camera. First with Rodney King, and more recently with George Floyd. Protest isn’t meant to make people comfortable. It is meant to challenge the

I support today’s protests and sincerely hope they remain peaceful, as many have in recent weeks. That said, we can’t ignore an uncomfortable truth: throughout history, meaningful change has often come only after unrest. Think of apartheid in South Africa, or the Civil Rights
