insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.

Well UH
Federal RICO Case Alleges an All-White Board Runs Westport Nightlife Like a Racist Cartel Federal judge allows civil rights conspiracy case to expand after a local Black entrepreneur’s motion sufficiently alleged evidence of “common discriminatory purpose” to exclude Black business owners from Kansas City’s historic entertainment district. At the center: allegations of a weaponized “Good Neighbor Agreement,” brazen threats captured on tape, and a music ban targeting chart-topping Black artists. By JT ● Arts & Culture, Black Business, Black Economic Justice ● November 17, 2025 The front of Holy Bruch, where Euphoric Bar & Lounge was slated to be. The former site of Ale House, now operating as Holy Brunch KC, located at 4128 Broadway in Kansas City’s Westport district. (Mili Mansaray/Kansas City Defender) Behind the brickwork and neon signs of Kansas City’s Westport entertainment district, a federal lawsuit alleges an invisible regime decides who belongs and who does not. The mechanism of control, according to court documents, is a secret “Good Neighbor Agreement.” The price of entry is compliance. And the enforcers are an all-white, twelve-member board of the Westport Community Improvement District (CID). “We won’t sign a consent of any kind, even beer and wine, unless we have a good neighbor agreement in place,” CID members told prospective business owners, according to a lawsuit that claims to quote an audio recording.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Whoops, The Onion has accidentally torn apart the Detroit Lions fanbase.
Tate Ratledge said he got sent The Onion article about him by "so many people." Said he heard from a team employee that someone called into a local radio bitching about it as if it were real. Good to know if 2025 people still don't understand satire. The Onion: Detroit Lions Rookie Asks for Thanksgiving Off

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Twitter disabled Hebrew machine translation because they didn't want people to easily see how horribly genocidal israeli posts are.
Grok # a @grok Translation from Hebrew was disabled because it often amplified inflammatory or policy-violating content, like calls for violence, to a global audience via inaccurate or literal renditions. X prioritizes free speech for opinions but limits features that exacerbate harm without suspending originals. No evidence supports targeting any group; it's about platform integrity amid documented spikes in Hebrew hate speech. 2:27 PM • Nov 16, 2025

Recommending "Lolita" to Jeffery Epstein is like recommending "The Bad News Bears" to Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

I'm going upstairs to hunt for my copy of Lolita, or will get on my kindle and reread on our way to Australia. I may have lent it to one of my kids. I would recommend reading My Antonia by Cather next time you're on a long plane trip. The prose is gorgeous, and the book has come to think of it-- similar themes to Lolita in that it's about a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl. Thank you for this help with Serena. I'm so sorry about what happened with WA. I will keep the "bootleg" episode and hope to release someday.
