VW spent how much developing the buzz flop?

The yankification of the world cup really pisses me off. Do football fans really want to sit through a pop concert delaying the second half? And why the fuck is the USA anthem being sung? They're not playing. 🤷‍♀️ www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Sounds like gender-affirming care to me.

I like Spain’s chances more against Argentina than against England. I think a lot depends on what type of referee shows up. If they let them get rough and play without all the diving, Argentina has a better chance. They’re better at dirty play.

Maybe now England will decide to play some ball. I mean they have 5 minutes left.

<deep voice> England did not, in fact, begin playing football again after Argentina scored.

High Five from Montezuma Colorado are killing at the Dillon Amp. I’m a fan.

It really is time to take the keys away from grandpa. This man is delusional.

The San Francisco Bay, prior to the percussion mining of the gold rush, was as deep and full of life as the Sea of Cortez. Imagine, if you will, a huge bay teeming with life and hundreds of feet deep. Today, the average depth south of the Bay Bridge is SIX FEET.

I’m convinced the only strategy right now is to give the preening Hegseth some bombs to brag about on TV. It’s a farce.

Breckenridge in the summer is kinda hard to beat. The water is very low right now but it’s still pretty. The NRO concert was lovely too.

NY Tmes exec editor Joe Kahn said in 2024 that the issue of democracy's survival was not a top priority in his newsroom's coverage. Now Trump is sending federal agents to NYT reporters' homes to deliver subpoenas over coverage he doesn't like. I wonder if democracy is a priority for Joe now.

What’s not to like about RFKJr putting the excitement back into cheap Mexican food.

I’m an ice hockey Referee and I know how hard it is to make consistent calls. But these FIFA referees make loads of mistakes, completely hoodwinked by all the fake diving that goes on. FIFA really should make better use of quick VAR to get rid of all the cheating.

this fuckin pos

god i laughed so hard at this headline www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

The new @realinfowars.bsky.social site is delivering the advertisements we really need.

Colorado? Let’s go! @colorado.gov

I said it before. There have to be better candidates than Platner. Let's find one. Can't be that hard.

Your friendly reminder that the USWNT has won FOUR World Cups. And they had to go to the Supreme Court to get paid.

Gefeliciteerd België. Goed gedaan.

Trump has already called the ref. We’ll get more time.

We gonna get 47 minutes of extra time?

Well just call that a “Trump corner”

But he can still lead the vote for a new SC justice from the bed, no?

Is Peacock down? No game? Shiiiit.

Last night during the fireworks. And if this isn't a perfect representation of our current federal government, I have no idea what would be. Fuckin' Sleepy Joe, man...

Mexico doing everything but score.

On my timeline I have seen suggestions that FIFA might have acted in an ethically dubious way. I am shocked, SHOCKED at the insinuation the organisation that awards the highly esteemed FIFA peace prize might not always maintain the highest ethical standards.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/742... Balogun should be boo’d mercilessly every time he touches the ball.

FIFA tries harder than anyone to prove they’re corrupt.

Mbappe diving and then pretending to die. Just embarrassing for France.

A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Our town’s parade was just lovely. No BS. Not too long or short. Loads of happy kids.

I once listened to the entire Taylor Swift discography end to end. Nothing stuck. It was entirely bland and unimpressive. To me. She may indeed be talented but not memorable. I wish her all the best in her marriage.

Totally on board with this idea.

we are one day away from the funniest VAR offsides graphic ever

Don't threaten me with a good time!! #DSA #FauxNews #EatTheRich

Penalty shots is just the worst way to end a football/soccer game. The rules should be changed: Play sudden death until someone scores and every 5 minutes one person has to leave the field until it’s 3 against 3. Stamina, attacking and fast breaks to win. At least they’d be playing the game.

The Australian and Egyptian professional diving teams are having a good afternoon. More yellow cards please. This sport is silly sometimes. #worldcup

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

it’s insanity that so many governments are just going along with the madness of the AI and data center industries

It’s my 10th #WorldCup ancient relic from each country in the World Cup. It’s DR CONGO 🇨🇩 This tumba sculpture was made to memorialise a deceased ruler of the Bambona, one of the peoples that made up the Kongo culture. The thoughtful pose is deliberate to emphasise the wisdom of the ruler. 🕰️C17th

Hydration break:

"Lacking major policy successes or legislative achievements, Meloni will confidently insist she has remained truthful to her conservative principles..." A lack of policy or legislative success actually is a conservative principle lately. "And when you’re a star they let you do it."

Nobody is painting fire hydrants red/white/blue this year. We studied American history all year long in school. We celebrated the melting pot, the explorers, the natives, and the immigrants. We were the UNITED states of America.

That spirit has sailed, my friends. We'll be celebrating our friends, but this country ... nothing much to celebrate right now.
