Two thoughts on the Chiefs after trouncing the Ravens: 1. All the people saying we were witnessing the end of the Chiefs have been outed as having no clue what they're talking about 2. It's a little disconcerting that all it took to go from bad to good was one player returning.

I'm not normally a political reporter, but this one has big ramifications for #KansasCity. Got another one coming out tomorrow about the special session's other goal: making it harder for voters to pass laws. axios.com/local/kansas-city/…

Fascinating partnership and use case for using AI in a highly public-facing implementation. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Mayor, and looking forward to seeing how this works out.
While our people and their good judgment will always be the front lines of our work, AI as a tool can help deliver more efficient solutions and follow-up to our residents, so that we can better solve everyday concerns. Proud of our work w/@BloombergDotOrg axios.com/local/kansas-city/…
