For the first time I rode my acoustic bike to CSA pickup and have you seen a more Kansas City picture in your life? (and no matter what the bottle says, ooh boy there was sweat)

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Current are requesting $50m *less* than original ask. Asking $185m from City Council AND an agreement to backstop the bonds. So it's 13% of the overall development, and the team will pay debt if revenues come up short. Most stadium deals are 50%+ public funding with no backstop.

KC offers revised $185M funding amount for CPKC Stadium expansion - Kansas City Business Journal

While KC's funding offer for a Royals ballpark went up from an earlier proposal, the opposite could be true for expanding CPKC Stadium.

the bar is in the basement for husbands in What to Expect When You're Expecting. Also know that this paragraph appears in the chapter "The SEVENTH Month"

Picture of a section from What to Expect:

FOR DADS

Picking Up the Slack(s)

If you think you're tired at the end of the day, think about this: Your baby mama expends more energy lying on the sofa building a baby than you do bodybuilding at the gym. Which makes her a lot more tired than you've ever known her to be and a lot more tired than you can even imagine. So pick up the slack. And your slacks. And the trail of socks and sneakers in the hallway Beat her to the vacuuming and the laundry and the toilet cleaning-the fumes from the cleaning products will make her feel sicker anyway. Encourage her to watch your cleanup routine from a fully reclining position on the sofa-even if that's always been your favorite position.
