i skipped forward 5 seconds and all of a sudden the pizza was in pieces and that pissed me off

made a big ol jar of ginger switchel concentrate for yard work later this week

will y’all shut up about a damn edit button and start screaming to get a human to code this fucking shit of a sns

just don’t do an edit button, jfc. the endless whining about edit buttons is the worst part of every text based social media app. live with the typo or repost it and shut the fuck up.

some of these are tough tradeoffs. 5 minutes won't catch the typo you spot two hours later. one edit means you can't fix the fix. we know. it's the price of mitigating these risks and keeping people safe here. and this is what might be feasible for our small team.

this project felt a little doomed from the start, the gaps of time after he received tax breaks and development incentives makes it seem like he was playing two cities against each other and got a better deal somewhere else.

After three years of planning, a restaurant deal will not move forward.

it's fun when bigots claim to be about "love and respect"

I wonder if all the conditions that the Leavenworth Commission insisted on will still be adhered to, now that it's a federal government installation? This is why you can't negotiate with companies like CoreCivic. You don't know their end game. www.kctv5.com/2026/08/05/c...

CoreCivic sells Leavenworth detention facility to Department of Homeland Security

The Leavenworth facility has been controversial for years and has been the center of legal battles and public debate.

So I'm watching Dobnak's interview from last Wednesday, didn't notice this at the time, but that ball behind him ... pretty sure it says MY WIFE SAID YOU LOOKED JACKED idk the last two lines, but that shits funny, and so is the glasses holder #KCRoyals

okay i promise i'm going to stop local political posting soon but who the hell thought this man was electable to govern an entire state? he raised $286,460.61 in 2 months. that money could have gone to a food bank. charisma score: possibly negative

they will keep trying that shit until their majority is once and for all trounced now that the primary is over, every dem/leftist kansas needs to lock in and help their house district’s dem win their race 🙏

Retired Supreme Court Justice Carol Beier: “This victory is beyond gratifying. Kansans have made their wishes known, and those wishes are noble. The Kansas Supreme Court must remain fair and impartial for every citizen.” #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/08/04/k...

Kansas voters reject constitutional amendment on judicial selection by wide margin • Kansas Reflector

~ when the plains midwest election results are good ~ Look! at what we are "ready for" in the middle of the middle Help! communities fight back against corporate capital See! how we are all in the same struggle nation, worldwide

that's a really interesting quote from the Kansas GOP chair. The hell is this even supposed to mean? How does the amendment make us Detroit??

Update: Kansas voters appear poised to overwhelmingly reject a proposal to rewrite the state constitution and elect Kansas Supreme Court justices, spiking a plan long coveted by Republicans who want more conservative rulings on issues like abortion #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/08/04/e...

Skoog only carrying Wilson county, lol. His running mate is from Fredonia, makes sense.

Wyandotte county election office is guarded by multiple sheriffs at the moment. never seen that for an election before.

i realize it's worked for some in the past, but TJ these days feels like taking a pitcher out of rotation for a year on the hope that a new tendon will fix him, instead of just finding a different pitcher. it's not like there's a shortage of pitchers. i don't like surgery as a "maybe it'll work"

Chinook!! haven't heard one of these in quite a while. Doing the usual nap of the Earth along the Kaw

Ethan Corson, lifelong Kansan. Except for college. And working as a lawyer in DC. And working for the Department of Commerce, also in DC. All of which is fine, people do that. But that doesn't make you a lifelong Kansan! fox4kc.com/politics/you...

I kept having problems with Network UPS Tools (NUT) failing silently and refusing to connect to various UPS's until a manual reboot. This leaves a big gap and failing silently is really annoying. Diving into /etc/nut/upsmon.conf, DEADTIME was set to 10. Same as POLLFREQ. ⬇️

Straight up lying is not a difference of political opinion. I can't see an upside to any person identifying as Republican these days. It's not new, we just always brushed it aside because ignoring is easier than dealing with the reality that around a third of registered voters are so hate-filled.

first, why does bsky need a CEO to begin with? second, anyone who calls themselves a "CEO" of a company that only exists as a conduit for *other people* to talk and share things should not be giving opinions about who he wants on his site. hey @toni.bsky.team, fuck off! we managed just fine b4 u

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

He cites users' ability to mute & block folks as a positive, which is good. It's also why right wing chuds thankfully can't get a foothold here - b/c they violate community norms & get nuclear blocked out of normal people's timelines. Bluesky isn't a *liberal* bubble - it's a *decency* bubble.
