“Seats don’t make noise, concrete doesn’t intimidate opponents, parking lots don’t cook barbecue. You do,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt wrote.

BREAKING: The Kansas City Chiefs are leaving Arrowhead Stadium to move across the state line to Kansas to build a new stadium

Looks like the KC Chiefs are going to get a new stadium on the Kansas side of the metro.

Economic genius Donald Trump explains how he comes up with tariff rates

Days after FIFA gave him a medal, Trump’s DOJ started dismantling a major corruption prosecution that ensnared dozens of soccer executives worldwide. Another shameless case of the president corrupting our justice system. And all it took was a shiny object. youtube.com/shorts/jq48e...

Cheers for Kelce. Something good came out of that stinker of a game.

Next time you’re applying for a job, any job, be sure to mention you were able to pick out a giraffe during a regular dementia test. Let’s see how it plays out.

KC Rep's A Christmas Carol is wonderful, and Gary Neal Johnson is an excellent Scrooge. Big shoes to fill for the Rep.

Happy Winter Solstice! On midwinter’s day, the sun sets between the pair of stones that form the largest trilithon at #Stonehenge Farewell to the shortest day of the year, as we look forward to lighter days ahead! ☀️ #StandingStoneSunday #Archaeology

Rick understands the reason for the season. What a lovely man. 🧵⬇️

Catching up on some reading tonight. This is a really interesting article on the tech bros obsession with setting up their own cities/states (fiefdoms).

Trump Says He Doesn’t Want the Best for His Enemies, but There Is Someone He Wants the Best For www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/o... This is really well done and worth a read I’ve gifted it

Who could have seen this coming?? "Having elevated her in large part for her willingness to say outrageous things about her opponents, people on the right are now surprised by her willingness to say outrageous things about them."

DOGE produced the largest peacetime workforce cut on record, but spending kept rising.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Kerry Kennedy, niece of JFK: "Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building."

Finished Ripple on Netflix tonight. Really liked it. I'm a sucker for the interconnected story genre!

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

So glad I didn't waste my time watching the speech last night. Dave has a good summary and fact check - in two minutes!

Big Oil Is A “Hard No” On Venezuela youtu.be/2nJYOhe3vww?...

Laughed so hard at this, now I'm coughing.

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency. He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.

I already shared my top 10 worst pardons of 2025. But 10 wasn’t enough to cover all the truly horrific ones. So here are 10 more of the year’s worst pardons for your consideration. youtube.com/shorts/89vnJ...

“In Trump’s case, his sociopathy is destiny. His narcissism; his lack of conscience, remorse, or empathy; his pathological lying and grandiosity; his sense of entitlement, impulsivity, and aggression; his cruelty, predatory behavior, and sadism—these are the forces that drive him.”

This is a cool gesture from Cincinnati Bengals fans following Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ injury.

Gorgeous.

It’s the last dance as we’ve known it for the Chiefs. But history, their own and what they’ve been chasing, holds lessons about the crossroads they face.

Interesting similarities between Mahomes and Brady now include ACL injury in the 9th season.

The world lost Rob Reiner on Sunday, along with his wife, Michele. An actor, writer, producer and director, Reiner leaves behind an incredible body of work. These are the movies that stood the test of time: https://wapo.st/4acgBvj

He looks good (and no orange make-up!).

Things can happen?? Like students living through a mass shooting at their high school and their college??

"Donald Trump, the billionaire saint of perpetual grievance."

😻💯

Cool. Cool. Administration wants to set up cash reward system for turning in your friends and neighbors for thought crimes.

Love this example - the important space between everything and nothing.

Complete and total anti-fascist bad-ass! Respect ✊

…

The Trump administration has scrapped a plan to mint quarters to honor the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and the Civil Rights Movement. Instead, the Trump administration plans to issue a $1 coin with Donald Trump’s face on it.

Host: 25 years ago, measles were declared eliminated in the US. But of course, that was before vaccine denier RFK Jr. became the Health Secretary. Now, measles cases are surging for the second time this year. 84 new measles cases were reported nationwide in just the past week alone.

"In lieu of having a health secretary who is committed to keeping American citizens safe and healthy, we’ve been offered the tepid consolation prize of an expired midlife crisis that’s been in slow decay since the mid-90s."

I love year-end photo reviews. Great top photo list here.

Well this is a fun way to start a Friday.

With the Chiefs’ season the brink, let’s take a closer look at how we got here.
