I've been doing just fine with Tidal since 2022, for what it's worth, and there are plenty of services that can port over your playlists. I did it. You can, too.

I swapped Spotify for Tidal last week! It's easier than I thoughtit would be!

Rep. Sharice Davids says Kansas gerrymandering would 'silence the voices' of voters Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature want to follow the lead of states like Texas and Missouri by gerrymandering the state's congressional maps to favor Republicans. U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, a Democrat who represents the state's 3rd district, says the idea of splitting up Johnson County is ludicrous.

"It's actually so ludicrous to imagine splitting up Johnson County," Davids told KCUR's Up To Date. "I've seen drafts of hypotheticals where part of Johnson County would be in a district that goes all the way to the Colorado border."

Seriously. I've been designing electronic and medical products for 16 years. 95% of those products are designed and built on metric measurements. Whenever I try to design something with USA-made parts, it's a huge pain because 95% of parts made here are not metric.

Hey, Mr. President, you know what would help bring manufacturing back to the US? SWITCHING TO THE METRIC SYSTEM. You know, the system that THE ENTIRE WORLD uses to make stuff?

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Kansas is making the 93-mile Flint Hills Trail even better for cyclists The Flint Hills Trail travels through tallgrass prairie and along riverside bluffs. It also offers a chance to stop at historic sites, such as the Allegawaho Heritage Memorial Park near Council Grove.

The Flint Hills Trail in Kansas offers views of riverside bluffs, woods, rolling farmland and the largest remaining tallgrass prairie region — one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. And now cyclists will be able to ride nearly 100 miles of uninterrupted trail. https://loom.ly/3oMei7o

Is there a word for the sensation when you are disoriented and your mental map is like spinning around in your head for a second or two before it snaps into place? It's a very specific sensation for me and "disoriented" doesn't really capture it, imo.

Every few months, Dani and I 70%-jokingly talk about buying the Rio, if you're looking for investors!

It’s not just that Trump admires Putin, he’s adopting his playbook.

Trump’s comments today on Canada (“an arbitrary border”) and Greenland (“maybe more soldiers go there”) is EXACTLY how Putin talked about Ukraine.

None of this is funny. It’s an explicit threat to sovereign nations.

...presuming the FTC still exists in May. 🤞

Can't wait for May 12, 2025 when the FTC's Junk Fee Rule goes into effect and I will finally be able to know up front what concert tickets actually cost.

Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall has blamed the turmoil that erupted at a recent town hall meeting in rural Kansas on “paid Democratic operatives.”

But the people who attended the meeting say they are just concerned Kansans who wanted their senator to hear their concerns.

Partly on this advice, I joined a Mardi Gras parade band last year at age 38. First band I've ever been in, and despite being a beginner at my instrument (melodica), it's one of the most fun things I've done in my life. Thanks.

“This is what gets me through the winter,” says Roger McBride with a grin. “We have King cakes, we're dressed in our finest, and everybody is marching strong.”

This evening's Fat Tuesday parade starts at 8 p.m. at P.R.'s Place and ends in the Historic 18th & Vine jazz district.

KC musicians and Fat Tuesday marchers have made their way through 18th & Vine, the Crossroads, and the Westside neighborhood for decades — rain, sleet or snow.

The colorfully-dressed revelers, known as krewes, celebrate Mardi Gras, the final day of Carnival, before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.

Kansas City could be on a fast track to slower buses and a stunted economy The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has struggled for years to provide fast and frequent bus service. Many suburbs have pulled their funding, which resulted in route cuts, and a feud between...

“It is hard for me to imagine, given these larger pressures — around climate, around traffic congestion, around household spending — how you can have a really effective city without having an effective transit network.”

With no prior experience!

Man, between Joe Pera Talks With You, Reservation Dogs, and Somebody Somewhere, midwestern comedies/dramadies are CRUSHING IT lately! All of these get 5 stars from me, especially Somebody Somewhere.

I really don't understand why reduced speed limits at night aren't more of a thing. Especially in places with lots of deer.

Ours are champagne flutes, but yes, agreed.

Piranesi, Circe, and Middlegame are my faves of the last couple years. Oh, and This Is How You Lose the Time War.

As a lifelong KS/MO resident, Minnesota is the only place I've been that I've heard/seen them called ramps. It's garages everywhere else I've been.

If they can provide solid answers to those, I'm all about it.

If it passes without a better plan for those, I'll hold my breath and hope for the best. 🤞

How you gonna make transit better so people don't have to park?
What's it gonna look like without the fantasy park that no one's gonna pay for?
How you gonna protect the character of the Crossroads and existing businesses that will remain there?
Are you taxing the right people?

I want a downtown Royals stadium so badly (even/especially in the Crossroads), and I still kinda hope the ballot measure fails next week because I think they need a better plan first.

Cybertruck 🤣

No one's mentioned Regina Spektor yet? She's got all kinds of songs about/as little weirdos!
