"Bringing out the 'good china'" for our guests is spot on for KC with the World Cup coming. Plus public investments in small, local businesses that have been needed for years.

"Dashcam Nation" is actually a good book title about the rise in hit and run crashes and lack of community trust on the roadways.

health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I miss the robust KC Twitter hive mind of a decade ago, but I'm going to try anyway:

Can anyone think of any local buildings or houses that have been physically relocated post-1940, aside from the KC Young Matrons clubhouse that was at 51st & Oak?

People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us

Feels weird to sign a petition to save a big box store. But the losing the Midtown Costco really would create many voids that can’t be reasonably filled by a bunch of mom and pop stores in current economic system

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Free to jaywalk: How Kansas City killed the discriminatory law it helped to invent Kansas City, Missouri, became the first major city in the U.S. to repeal its anti-jaywalking ordinance, after research found that tickets were being disproportionately issued to Black men. It’s a full-circle moment, because Kansas City was also the first city to criminalize jaywalking more than a century earlier.

After helping create the crime of jaywalking in the early 1900's, a deadly incident and discriminatory charging methods pushed Kansas City lawmakers to start looking deeper at these laws β€” making it the first major city in the country to completely repeal its jaywalking ordinance.

Kansas City bus riders unionize out of frustration over service cuts and constant budget fights Constant fights over bus funding have meant service cuts and long wait times for riders. Now, dozens of riders are launching a union, and they hope others join to make service better for everyone.

KC's new Bus Rider's Union launches today!
