Any chance someone on here knows the artist who made this ceramic piece? Was bought in KC, maybe Red Star or Belger 10+ years ago? Am wanting to surprise my wife with another piece, possibly. (She's not on Bluesky, so I can only post it here)

Kansas GOP leaders say they're calling off attempt to hold special session to re-gerrymander congressional map. Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids will continue to be able to run in blue-friendly seat.
Kansas Republicans drop push to enter nation's widening redistricting battle
Top Kansas Republicans have given up for now on forcing a special session of the Legislature to redraw the state’s U.S.

So, if a majority of the fans in the Royals "survey" choose downtown for the ballpark, will they pursue Washington Square Park, or will they interpret it as "Oh, cool, we can bulldoze the northeast Crossroads now."

Would love to know if you get a survey email. I'll do same.
Either that, or he's just plain bad at his job.
"Chiefs get all the calls." 🙄
Gene Steratore has never seen something like this in his career:

Intentional grounding was called on Mahomes here, but the referees failed to see that the ball was tipped. Andy Reid attempted to challenge the ruling on the field, only to be told that aspect of the play is not reviewable.

Being led by the lowest of the low. The scum of the earth.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

I knew Hugh Freeze was a creep, and he throws others under the bus for his own failings, but I didn't realize what a despicable man he is.

Yes, I'll celebrate his firing (it's coming), but the Auburn brass should be fired, too. He never should have been hired.

South end of Faurot Field coming along nicely. #mizzou
Hey TV networks, instead of dumping athletes' cuss words after a TD or HR (causing that annoying dropping out of sound intermittently, thus distracting from the moment), just turn off the fucking mic that's closest to them.
They have trouble with the football uniforms most weeks.
Took my own advice about taking the streetcar and supporting businesses on 31st Street, but was unaware of Orange By Devoured until Tim's post. We loved it! We had the Herbie Birdie -- amazing!

What if all the best CFB head coaching candidates do like Cignetti, Rhule, and Lashlee, and stay put?

What will the so-called top-level teams without coaches do?
What a great weekend for Mizzou have off. Without Disney/ABC/ESPN feeding my college football addiction, I'll go find better things to do.
Help out the Martini Corner businesses while their street is shut down: Take the new @kcstreetcar.org extension to 31st Street and walk down to some great restaurants, retail, coffee and more.

Been waiting four years for the streetcar to open by my house, then completely forgot all about it being an option when I walked nearly a mile to meet a friend for dinner in Midtown. Argh!

(I remembered mid-walk, but was too far past my stop to make it worthwhile)
KC2026: "The region’s red-hot sports culture is ...headlined by the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Major League Soccer’s Sporting Kansas City and the National Women’s Soccer League’s Kansas City Current."

Me, rearranging the order of this statement:
Chiefs, Current, Royals, Sporting.

Absolute abomination. We have become everything we say we're not.
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔
