The KC Star sports page presently has a grand total of ZERO articles about the Current on it, which says about all one needs to know about the KC Star sports page.
KCMO restaurants keep shutting down due to employees contracting COVID. Listen, I want shit to be open as much as anyone, but maybe, just maybe, we reopened far too early.
It’s not even the finale, and what just happened on
@nbcthegoodplace
is one of my favorite moments on modern TV. Just a show that understands what it is.
I hold four simultaneous, Arsenal-related views:
1. It was time for Wenger to leave.
2. It is time for Emery to go.
3. We desperately need a new manager w/ a tactical model that suits the history of the club.
4. That manager should never be Jose Mourinho.

around today? You could even just copy and paste the statement below. You would lose points for lack of originality, but you would at least be doing something.
My mother, my hero, has advanced lung cancer. It’s still not easy to say, much less write, but it’s reality. I’ve known for almost two weeks, and it hasn’t gotten any easier. All I would ask of anyone is each and every spare good vibe you have the energy to give her. ❤️
I would happily show my vaccination card to enter any restaurant, bar, venue, gym, or any other location where fun can be had, for the rest of my life, if it meant never again having to spend time around people who are too dimwitted and self-aggrandizing to just get vaccinated.
My mother spent a year at a vo-tech school and my father did not graduate from high school. Towards the end of my high school experience, my family needed welfare benefits just to survive. I graduated Top 20% from Wake Law, and my sister has a PhD in Genetics from Stanford.

Love seeing the newly-eligible receive their first vaccine doses today. The impact of

simply cannot be overstated. Such an incredible act of kindness and compassion. Someone ought to buy that guy a beer (or three).
Y’all, I’m just so fucking proud of
@nate_bukaty
. My boy is gonna end up announcing some World Cup 2026 matches. Hell, at this rate, kid might end up announcing some World Cup 2022 matches. Dude has put in some WORK. Just makes me so insanely happy.
At some point this season, I would really like to see Leno, Bellerin, Koscielny, Sokratis, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Özil, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

I want
@SportingKC
to beat St. Louis because their city sucks, their fanbase sucks, and their club sucks, but I mostly want SKC to beat STL because I want to see
@ZachIsHere
shine on the biggest stage in the world.
They could increase taxes on me, forgive student debt, and increase the minimum wage to $15-20/hr, and I would be just fine w/ all of it. Society is about vastly more than our own individual finances when there are others who are in need. This is not difficult.
I remember sitting on my back deck w/
@nate_bukaty
so many years ago, as he detailed his plans to join the broadcast crew for
@SportingKC
, a fairly significant, but well deserved, journey. Four days from now, my friend will be announcing Guadeloupe v. Jamaica. I’m insanely proud.
Well, I guess I can check crying in the gym parking lot off of my list. Everyone, meet my nephew, Charles Leven Daugherty!!! I absolutely cannot wait to meet him.❤️
All I have to say about this weekend in KCMO is the following: If you choose to take part in this weekend’s Chiefs-related madness, especially on Saturday and Sunday, TIP WELL AND TIP OFTEN. This weekend is bound to be an absolute hellscape for servers and bartenders. Be nice!
Kids who never had the opportunity to learn how to behave at restaurants, breweries, airports, etc., become adults who have no idea how to behave at restaurants, breweries, airports, etc.
Barstool is bad. Liking Barstool is bad. Any dude who feels this way is bad. I mean, JFC. Get your shit together, people. Following, supporting, and liking anything that comes from that website is actively supporting nonsensical shit like this.
this may shock you, but here’s one of the “good ones” from that cesspool being incredibly fucking weird and misogynistic, and doubling down in the replies
Eighteen months post-diagnosis, and my mom is still alive, the cancer is presently in stasis, my divorce is finalized, my estranged father has passed, my pouch of his ashes has been spread at the foot of stand-in Mt. Doom, I’m as strong as I have ever been, and I’m still here. 🙏🏽
In all seriousness, at this point, why should the rest of us suffer? Just institute a vaccination requirement for all indoor activities and call it a day. We did our part, let those who chose not to suffer. Adopt the France model.
Whelp, gonna enjoy my one and only maskless indoor concert experience of 2021. Right call, but, and I cannot express this vociferously enough, fuck literally every anti-vaxxer who made this necessary.
White people from wealthy backgrounds ALWAYS have an unfounded belief that they worked harder than everyone else even though everything was handed to them.

The idea that school vouchers would positively impact low income school districts, the belief that we should not subsidize school lunches for low SES kids, and/or the refusal to teach a science-based (as opposed to quasi-religious) curriculum in public schools.
Regardless of tonight’s outcome, I will always be grateful for absolutely everything

has accomplished, including her role as a massive streetcar advocate, and the absolutely instrumental role she played in
@NewKCI
, the biggest infrastructure project in KCMO history.
The role of law enforcement, much like their elected counterparts, is to set an example, not flaunt their privilege for political means. Serve your community. Drop the riot gear and wear masks during non life threatening community events. Take care of the community you serve.

Listen, we can discuss policy, and empathy, and entry-level functionality, but, HFS, I’m just happy to see two people who actually know how to wear a fucking suit.
I told my sister I was starting therapy on Thursday, and we just spent the last 1.5 hours having the most important and impactful conversation we have had in 20 years. So, that’s it, right?!? Problem solved! Thursday free!!
