I seriously cannot make this shit up. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope KC responds and makes the state look so fucking stupid. I have my critiques of KC but I'm rooting for them here.

It's truly unfortunate that Catherine Hanaway is doing this. Even if the intention to remove the MBE/WBE guidelines doesn't come to fruition, this will have negative consequences for the city. The city is already run by a ton of white men! And the history of Kansas City (and the state and the country) that set up systems to disadvantage women and minorities will be much slower to become equitable. It's so sad to see the country regress but to my understanding, Missouri has always been much more regressive and backwards.

Lawsuit supporters logic is to give the job to the most qualified person/organization. Someone even posted a comment that "Hiring should be merit-based. Ok, I have a suggestion then because THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE AND IS A WHITE MAN! Hahaha Let's talk about that underqualified man in the highest elected office in MISSOURI. Based on the logic of this lawsuit, let's remove him and put Quinton Lucas, Mayor of KC, in place. Way more qualified to be Governor.

Anyway, would like to hear what everyone else thinks of this.

Does anyone else hear the deep rhythmic explosion sounds outside right now? Almost like fireworks, but deeper and more powerful, and at a very regular pace. There isn’t any thunder in the area right now.

I’m in OP, and it sounds like it’s coming from the north-northwest.

Edit: based on the widespread response and general agreement on the direction, could it be heavy artillery practice fire at Fort Leavenworth?

Enjoy this picture I took!

I know the whole world works this way. But it still blows my mind how we can spend so much fucking money to build shit for sports but not enough to fix the real problems in our local state/county.

I understand the appeal to build a better stadium to completely hook the masses and distract em with sports. Just like the Roman’s and coliseums, building shit to distract the peasants with entertainment from what’s really going on 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The situation between the local governments in Portland and the Blazers (namely owner Tom Dundon) has deteriorated to the point where relocation is a real possibility: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7457423/2026/07/19/tom-dundon-trail-blazers-portland-mota-center-nba/

Kansas City has been through this same song-and-dance a number of times, but this seems more realistic than ever for a number of reasons:

1. The two top markets without an NBA team, Seattle and Las Vegas, are getting expansion franchises, and the league would rather cash-in on the expansion fees versus moving an existing team there and miss out on that windfall.
   
2. The next two “trendy” markets, Austin and Nashville, are also no-go’s because they’re in the Spurs and Grizzlies’ existing markets; the league would almost certainly block a second team in Tennessee, for instance.
   
3. Dundon isn’t looking to sell the team and the Blazers would be a tenant wherever they go, which means KC wouldn’t need to put an ownership group together (which has hampered past NBA/NHL efforts), nor would we need to build a new arena, though they’d most certainly ask for a renovation as part of a relocation agreement.
   
4. The only other markets in play also have question marks- San Diego’s arena isn’t built yet and would be opposed by the Lakers and Clippers; Tampa may be opposed by the Magic; etc. an international move (Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico City) also hasn’t been discussed to this point.

Realistically, it may come down to us and St. Louis if the Blazers relocate. You hate to see a city lose their team, but there’s a non-zero chance the NBA returns to KC for the first time since the Kings left for Sacramento.

I just saw that In-N-Out is expanding to Colorado and even Idaho. Kansas Citians crave In-N-Out- it would be so profitable. Do you think we'll be getting an In-N-Out anytime soon?

"But Revitalization Unlimited is all but admitting that its goal is not to build a data center tower. It only proposed a data center tower because that’s the type of project that will receive the highest possible appraisal, which in turn would produce the biggest tax deduction for its investors."

So, it's even worse than a data center- it's a gigantic investor scam dressed up as a data center.

I've been wanting to find new places like this to make some new connections but I'm having trouble finding anything, looking for any good recommendations

There is a show at the Unicorn Theater right now called Sound Mandala that is so so sick. It’s essentially a 360 sound experience — there’s like a hundred speakers and it’s put together by a very cool professor with a team of other engineers. Please go check it out. It’s very much worth the price of admission.

I don't know what has been happening but for two weeks now I have had strangers coming up onto my porch, not knocking, not ringing my door bell and leaving within a minute or two. I have a camera so I can see faces but these aren't people I know and I don't have family or friends that come over unannounced. I don't want to be paranoid but at my old house something similar happened where I caught a female trying my doorknob then digging through a flower pot for a key assuming no one was home. But it feels familiar like someone is expecting my door to be unlocked.. I keep it locked because I work from home and have small children. But I need another perspective, am I being paranoid?

Learn from my mistake. I have a medical condition that flares up unpredictably, often necessitating an ER visit or hospitalization. A couple of years ago I ended up in the hospital on voting day and really had to advocate for a ballot hard. Not because staff didn’t want to help, it’s just not something that happens often. A staffer in a different department just heard about my insistence and called my county election board, who sent out two staffers who brought an absentee ballot, verified my registration, sealed and took my ballot with them.

Also, nursing homes are federally mandated to ensure their residents rights to vote are facilitated, unless deemed incapacitated.

Good evening yall!

My sister was unaware that there had been a chain of stores in the area named Dahl’s in the 90s and for the life of me I can’t remember if there was one off of 87th or 95th Street and I-35

Spotted along Armour Rd.

Been thinking about getting back into the sport after years of not touching it. World Cup finally made me give in. Any locations, teams/leagues I could check out to get some games and get warmed up? Something friendly/beginner would be great, though I could go up to intermediate if spots are a bit more competitive since I do have a long background in the sport.

Lots of stuff including metal going out Thurs night for bulky trash pick up Fri. 9700 block of Richmond Ave in south KC. Take what you can use. Come Thu night or Fri morning. Don't bother the residents. Thx.

Can we get at least one of these jerks out of office?

It came in a few minutes early, and the guy at the Freight House gate was kind enough to let me in to see it! It will be on display all of tomorrow and leave at 9AM Thursday.

Not exactly local politics, as it's a state-wide thing, but very important locally as well.

This was that car fire on 35 southbound yesterday by the ferris wheel.
