A Missouri appeals court has upheld the convictions of a 34-year-old man in the killings of Kara Kopetsky and Jessica Runions, two young women who disappeared roughly 10 years apart in Cass County.

Don't forget to vote in these elections today! Local elections are where your votes carry the most power!

I just had Grandma's Pizza from Clay & Fire last night and my god, it's one of the best pies I've ever had. I'd put it up there with Extra Virgin and Pizza 51.

This place will remain a waste land!

Just curious how people are doing after that crazy storm that passed through the KC area on Friday afternoon.

I'm still without power in Waldo 48+ hrs after the event. While I avoided any property damage or injuries, I do have neighbors that had trees crashing down on their houses. Luckily they seem to have come out otherwise uninjured. I saw two houses behind McGonigle's/Fareway Market on 79th and Ward Parkway where very large trees fell on the houses and smashed vehicles.

How are you all doing? Still without power? Braving the heat or found refuge elsewhere? Receive any storm-related damage?

Since web searches are almost useless for this kind of thing anymore, I wanted to see if anyone here has KC restauraunt recommendations for vegan eating. Been living here a couple years and have been to and like the Fix, Mud Pie, the Wooden Spoon, and Blue Koi, but I'd love to have more options.

Went on a bike ride around the city with some folks yesterday. This is one of a few pics I took along the way. It was a great day to ride, if a little hot.

Full Twitter thread from Mayor Q:

Four years ago, advocates for our new American community; in homelessness outreach; and those seeking better services for all, approached me about a municipal ID program, helping our residents access checking/savings accounts, build businesses, and access better city services.

Today, we are ready to implement. With my sincerest thanks to WeDevelopment Credit Union, proudly founded as a Black-owned financial institution based at 30th and Prospect with city support, the new Fountain Card will be accessible to all Kansas Citians—removing barriers to all.

The Fountain Card can be used as ID and to access all city services, the library, transit, banking services, and more. This will be transformative for access to opportunity for everyone present in Kansas City. We look to grow even more places for card deployment. I am proud.

If anyone wants your work featured in the banner and/or the icon, feel free to comment here with your work.

It looks like Lemmy community icons display at 120x120 px and banners display at 736x230 px, but you can upload larger images than that. So whatever you submit, try to keep a 1:1 aspect ratio for the icon and 16:5 for the banner. If something ends up needing resized, I can deal with that part.

Original content from members of this community only, please. If you want credited in the sidebar, also drop your preferred @ in with your submission.

I'll give this thread a while to gather submissions before making any changes and if there are multiple submissions, I will use the most upvoted. If there are no submissions after a while, I may end up using some of my own photography.

Went to the new terminal for the second time today and parked in short term parking. There are lights in each row that indicate where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!

2nd time visiting the new terminal today and we parked in short term parking. The garage has indicators in every row that show you where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!

Hopefully this saves someone a trip to the curb because I always forget about holiday delays.

Also it's election day. Go make our city council better

Hi,@PlaidDragon@midwest.social make me a mod of this community and I'll inspect the issue.

Don’t forget about the upcoming election on June 20. Early voting is available now.

KC Tenants Power (the political sister organization of the KC Tenants tenant union) has done a lot of work and research to prepare this voter guide and imo, it’s the best progressive guide out there. This election has some of the best and most progressive candidates we’ve probably ever had.

Hey KC! Is anyone alive out there?

I'm driving an RV from Colorado on I70 soon. I've had Joe's before, but it was a bit of a trick getting my vehicle in and out of Kansas City.

So, do you know of any roadside BBQ worth trying? Bonus points if there's a campground nearby.
