Any chance someone on here knows the artist who made this ceramic piece? Was bought in KC, maybe Red Star or Belger 10+ years ago? Am wanting to surprise my wife with another piece, possibly. (She's not on Bluesky, so I can only post it here)

I don’t have HBO anymore but every time I see a clip from the Thoughts and Prayers documentary I feel absolutely gutted.
I’m not sure I’d make it through it but it should be free for every American to be able to view. Especially on Capitol Hill.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Is Kansas City prioritizing bike lanes over efficient vehicle travel? | Opinion
On several major streets, new bike lanes resulting in a single lane for traffic apparently have created more congestion. From our readers:

I wonder if the parade wouldn't be better attended downtown now that there are more residents and visitors, more restaurant and bars, and the streetcar to move people?
