You ever think that trees damaged by a storm is just nature trimming its toenails? #kansascity #kansascityweather #storm

Update: I asked "Why are you so wordy" and it replied "Fair criticism." ... Plus, another 160 words.

Why is ChatGPT so wordy? I correct it on one thing and it gives me a 340-word response. 🙄

@chris_stritzel Loving how we rerouted one of the rivers to flow along Broadway Blvd

Just once, I'd like to encounter a customer service line experiencing average call volume.

If I get another PR email starting with, "Travis, Kansas City is a World Cup host city," I'm going to lose my mind. Yes. We know. #worldcup #kansascity

There are a lot of bizarre concepts and money grabs happening around KC — but one of the more intriguing and impressive projects coming to fruition is the adaptive reuse of this 120-year-old bridge as an entertainment district and trailhead. https://t.co/rlCQ9Po0yE

@TheKCPulse heads up, the building you have pictured in your original post from Jan 8 is 304 W 10th, not 934 Central.

@fox4wx Nice! Thanks!

@DanniBoatKC @ChickenNPickle @fox4kc These are great!

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.

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.

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

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 https://t.co/0B1lzc5548

So 582 people downtown KC said that Chick-fil-A was one of the top retail choices they want to move in — and now it has. Wondering if the other 32,000 people feel the same? 👀 #kansascity #ChickfilA
