Saw the 34th Street-Penn Station subway entrance and it's awesome. Well done, @mta.info.

Signed up for a FanFest ticket for Thursday night. Food options look pretty good. Definitely planning to take KCStreetcar from Plaza to WWI.

Refrigerators should come pre-installed with a battery. The more you pay, the longer your fridge lasts on battery.

Is this just my Google Maps' satellite view? I use Google Maps (mobile app and browser) a ton when I visit other cities. For visitors to Kansas City over the next several weeks, the version I see doesn't have many of the new physical landmarks from the last 18 months. Can we do an update?

Any automotive types in my feed? Getting an oil change and the work flow of the technicians includes driving the car through this piece of technology. What does it do?

Audi Field in Washington, DC, will host the 2026 #NWSL Championship on Nov. 21. Also hosted the 2022 final. The Spirit have made it one of the best atmospheres in the NWSL. Annual reminder that the NWSL only has limited options for stadiums that can block out a ~week in November (and sell it out).

Tonight would have made for an incredible World Cup match at Kansas City Stadium.

Lily mode activated.

From Spelling Bee to World Cup. Let’s Go!

Back in Missouri after 10 days away. Rollin' to Kansas City on the Chief.

The @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social over the Mississippi.

Catching up on the latest FIFA World Cup 2026 Merch drop featuring authentic host city jerseys. Here's the one for Kansas City. Tempted to grab one, but man, that price?!? store.fifa.com/products/fif...

So I used AI this morning by "inputting" the characteristics of a bar/restaurant I really enjoyed yesterday in Washington D.C. and then asked the AI to find me a similar place in Chicago. It worked pretty well.

Grabbing brunch at LuLa Cafe in Chicago’s Logan Square and spotted this really amazing speaker set up!

Now arriving: Chicago.

Took the Metro Blue Line to the Eastern Market in D.C. today and sooo glad I did. Had a really fun lunch at the Lobby Bar. Highly recommend.

Just passed Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Jammin’ to Hit Parade while gliding on the Amtrak’s Floridian through West Virginia. 🎧

Supreme selfie.

Back on the rails and heading west.

The Current get the job done 👏

Bee bash to celebrate this year’s @scrippsbee.bsky.social at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum!

What a night last night! Congrats to Shrey!

"You are pure joy." — Head Judge Mary Brooks on #Speller213 Logan Bailey, who has won hearts here at the Bee! He started spelling before he could speak, and he hasn't stopped since. As the only Finalist debuting at the Bee and at just 12 years old, he's sure to make a BEEturn next year. #spellingbee

#Speller 20 Oliver Halkett is a spell-peater and a 2025 Finalist! His thoughts on returning: "Since I got 7th last year, I really wanted to go farther. The problem with 7th is that it’s harder to do better. Now, I’m here! I have no idea what’s going to happen, but I'll try my best." #spellingbee

The @scrippsbee.bsky.social finals starts soon… 8-10 pm on Ion and spellingbee.com

Prepare to be spellbound and BEEdazzled! The Scripps National Spelling Bee starts at 8/7c. Get all of the details on how to watch here: spellingbee.com/watch #spellingbee

Checking in on the sights!

Thanks for the buzz, @minakimes.bsky.social and welcome to the hive! 🐝

We’ve reached the semifinals of the @scrippsbee.bsky.social! From 247 spellers, only 54 remain. #spellingbee

Ananya is from the Columbia area!

Does SGA have an issue? Hands are always on his knees and has been out of sorts on offense.

Today’s offices:

10 minutes out from the start of this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee! #spellingbee

Sorry to any Cleveland peeps, but the Cavs look not great.

For my Kansas City-area followers, three spellers from our area are competing this year: - Beckett Griffin (No. 125) from Lee's Summit - Alex Mayes (No. 126) from Ray-Pec - Jon Allen (No. 129) from Polo, Missouri (Beckett competed in last year's bee and finished 100th!) #spellingbee

I have a cool assignment this week to work the Scripps National Spelling Bee! The competition starts tomorrow from Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. You can follow along at @scrippsbee.bsky.social and watch at spellingbee.com. #spellingbee

Brunson definitely reminds me of a player.

Was having dinner a few blocks away from the White House at the same time as tonight’s incident. All our group is OK.

Bee Week!

Getting things set up for this week’s Scripps Spelling Bee in Washington D.C!

Adjustable mood lighting at the citizenM in the NOMA district in DC. Pretty cool.

Union Station 3 of 3.

It’s a rainy afternoon in the Queen City of Cumberland, Maryland.

Good morning from Pittsburgh.

Very full Southwest Chief Train No. 4 loaded and Chicago bound.

Good morning. First of three Union Stations on this trip.

What would be the correct order: Install home battery banks charged by the grid during low price periods and then add solar as conditions warrant to charge the battery banks, or install the solar first?

Nearly 66 percent of Roeland Park remains without power at this hour. We need to do something different with our power situation. Maybe the time has finally come for rooftop solar with battery banks.
