Spent 3 hours at CPKC Stadium this afternoon in the broiling heat. After repeated weather delays, I finally had to take my party home about an hour before the @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social game eventually kicked off. Beautiful stadium. Can’t wait to watch a game there.

Reading up on the new FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, not to be confused with the CONCACAF W Champion’s Cup. Gotham FC’s win in the latter last night earns it a berth in the former in January. They’ll face the South American champ with a path to possibly play Arsenal in the final.

Also have to applaud @python.org and the community for really investing in bringing new people and experiences to #PyConUS. It can take a lot of intention and work to make a programming conference a welcoming space for everyone to be “good weird” together, and we all benefit.

I drove to Wheeling yesterday to go for a run.

While I’m in Pittsburgh, I had to get some py-rogi.

I’ll see myself out.

Came to Pittsburgh to talk about investigatory journalism at a tech conference and wound up at the first game ever for the city’s brand-new women’s soccer team at their riverfront stadium.
Extremely on-brand.

Wow. Was not expecting to see myself on the big screen this morning. 😆

The @pycon.us main hall is massive. @elainew.bsky.social is killing it, cracking jokes and introducing us to the conference agenda and the code of conduct, influenced by Pittsburgh hero Mr. Rogers.

Oh Duo, never change.

I feel real weird about tonight.

Thanks for all the reading suggestions, folks. I have a full semester's worth of books to take on, but will still accept more recommendations, especially books about women's soccer.

Excited to inaugurate another edition of a long-running family tradition for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
