AI platforms where users can create intimate, evolving and individualized relationships with digital companions have introduced a daunting new layer of complexity for families seeking to protect their children from harm online.
Her daughter was unraveling, and she didn’t know why. Then she found the AI chat logs.

I think I miss The Civil Wars the most during winter. Barton Hallow (album) hits different when it’s frigid outside and there’s snow on the ground.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

News Alert 🚨 Last week I learned I was elected to be First Vice President of the KY Association of Government Communicators in 2026, which means I’ll serve as President in 2027! Seems appropriate that I received my 5-year service pin today to go along with this announcement.

Only in Frankfort would there be a locally written community theater play with a clincher joke. And yes, I was the only one in the theater laughing.

Congratulations to Noah Kahan and Tyler Childers for being among the few male artists I listen to. I also listened to a lot of Role Model this year. Surprised he didn’t crack the top 15. Harry Styles, this is your sign to release new music.

The majority of tweens I saw on the Angel Tree in Frankfort today are asking for hygiene products for Christmas. Basic needs shouldn’t be any kid’s Christmas wish. It broke me. If you are able, please consider adopting an Angel Tree kid this year.

People are very comfortable saying awful things about the south and Appalachia. There's a difference between valid criticism and classist, rude garbage. Learn it.

Friends, last night: Omg are you here at the tree lighting!?
Me: No, it is Nov. 13. I still have Halloween decor up. Fall decor will remain out until after Thanksgiving.
My most controversial Frankfort opinion is Candlelight should be the same weekend as the Christmas parade.
