Outside my favorite coffee shop on the square in Perryville, Mo., this morning.

I'm not hopeful, but I don't want to be hopeless.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Going yesterday to Gillham House Antiques in the former Stine & McClure funeral home in Midtown led me to this cool bit of history: The Neo-Egyptian Revival building completed in 1912 for Stine & McClure in downtown KC -- which still stands today at 9th and Oak. theclio.com/entry/157232

Went to Gillham House Antiques in Midtown KC yesterday and we got a view of these Nelle Peters buildings like we'd never seen before. Want to come back when the light is better. (Gillham House Antiques was pretty cool, too)

Instagram has lost its mind.

I'm looking for some Snoopy swag for my niece's birthday and some local stores have what I want online -- but not at their bricks and mortar, of course. Sooo.... I can't get it at the local store -- but I CAN get it shipped slower and more expensively than Amazon. ☹️

By virtue of some of my music choices (The Cure, The Cult, etc.) and my political views (I think y'all know where I stand), my almost-17-year-old Goth intern has proclaimed me to also be Goth. I'm not convinced.

They were right. The sun is coming up. Another great photo by my wife. #MidtownKC #CityLife

Nick Bolton with back-to-back impact plays. Great open-field tackle on Barkley before pressuring Hurts into a rushed throw.

Ol' @rozone74.bsky.social didn't like me comparing Chiefs conspiracists to MAGA -- neither of whom like facts. My first known time being blocked on Bsky! 🤣

Just heard a radio ad telling me that Missouri farmers urgently need my political support. Hmmmmm.

Saw this text on a t-shirt and decided to make a graphic.

Our poor intern was on the wrong side of the building where we had an event early this morning, and I didn't hear my phone nor feel it vibrate when she was calling and texting me. 🥶

Yesterday.

Thanks for reminding me to mute and block all references to “barstool” on Bluesky.

You might consider logging on to the Social Security website and downloading a copy of your information--like, your latest statement. It's a multi-step process to get into your account if you've never done it before now. Good luck y'all.

"...this isn’t really about logic. This is about reverse engineering a way to invalidate the league’s best team. We’re in year seven of watching Mahomes’s team be better than our favorite teams, and ... it’s easier to imagine a vast conspiracy than to admit that our teams can’t beat these guys."

Your money is now under the control of an unelected foreign billionaire

“You know what it is?” Sharpe asked. “Now, Josh Allen, their fan-favorite, didn’t get to go [to the Super Bowl]; Patrick Mahomes [is] going again. Now it’s an issue…”

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind. abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

What’s with the never-ending flashing lights in Midtown? Cristo Rey on Linwood, the back of the storage place near 34th and Broadway, and tonight I noticed another off-and-on light south of the Uptown. Every night. For months, if not years.

America: "Uuuggggggh I'm so tired of the freaking #Chiefs. I probably won't even watch, everyone is so sick of them." Also America: www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...

It’s so wild that 7 years ago the NFL owners of all the big market teams got together and decided it would be in everyone‘a best interest to begin rigging games to benefit a small market city and their rookie quarterback from well known superstar pipeline school Texas Tech!

Love when there's an angle I've never seen.

Decided to merge my former "Downtown Loop" account with my personal account here, so brace yourselves for more photos of my wife and me, our dog, my corners of the city, and my college sports team.

“By excluding the key detail that the NFL upheld all the calls protecting Mahomes in the divisional round, Schefter opened himself up to criticism.”

well, my team's going to the super bowl again. best of all, everyone else is really, really happy for me

KC Film making friends. I am putting together a monthly workshop where we can gather and mess with gear, talk shop and create images and friendships. It most likely will be on Sunday afternoon. Hit me up with your info if you would like to be a part.
