The only thing Hegseth can beat is his chest.

And speaking of the #WorldCup, on this day in 1999 the USWNT beat China in the Women's World Cup and Brandi Chastain became a sports icon.

By the way, Liz Oyer is on Bsky. I'm not saying you should follow @lawyeroyer.com but...okay, I really am saying you should follow her.

It's sex pests all the way down. The patriarchy depends on men not being accountable for their behavior and on making sure women fight each other for scraps.

RIP Bonnie Tyler

Ride In Peace, Louisa.

This was my take 8 months ago.

Hey NPR, wanna know why fewer folks are willing to donate? It's because of bullshit like this: "Trump wraps NATO summit on a positive note." A positive note? Deranged babbling & missile strikes against Iran--not most folk's idea of a positive note. NPR used to be a reliable, honest news source.

There's a simple reason he never hears this conversation from "anyone on the left."

It's not that I NEED coffee, you understand. But I find the proper dosage of coffee in the morning allows data to align itself in such a way that it becomes accessible information.

Pay the lady. youtu.be/2yNhMN3foAU?...

was looking for something else, came across this classic

I'm inclined to believe Mitch is as dead as Platner's political career. By which I mean he really really really ought to be dead, he deserves to be dead, but we live in a world where Trump is POTUS, so who the fuck knows?

I dunno...I'm starting to feel sort of bad that I'm apparently the only person who hasn't talked to Mitch McConnell recently.

It'll be months--possibly a year--before I'll be able to ride this bike trail again. Recent flooding has destroyed a large section of it. #ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #bikesky #BikeTherapy

Read this entire thread and be glad you live in a world with judgmental grannies and big dogs and good neighbors. Then do your part to make your world like that world. Maybe one day, with practice, you can become an Asian granny too. At least that's my plan.

Our East Kensington mural project with Nick D’Auria, H.A. Brown elementary, and the East Kensington Neighbors Association got covered on @6abcactionnews.bsky.social today! 6abc.com/videoClip/19...

Had a weird flashback just now. Saw Luis Suárez was playing and all I could think about was a different Luis Suárez biting an Italian player in the 2014 World Cup. Not related, I assume. #SUICOL

Riding an e-scooter over the Women's Achievement Bridge. Looks like fun. #ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #urbanphotography #streetphotography

By the way, #WorldCup Bluesky is solid and has history. A LOT of the people I follow here, I followed during the 2023 Women's World Cup. I'm already looking forward to WWC 2027.

It wouldn't be the World Cup without VAR drama, would it. Sorry to see the match end like this. Glad Messi got a goal, but damn... #ARGEGY

It's like the life has been sucked out of this match. #ARGEGY

Oh man, crushing for Egypt. Just gutting. #ARGEGY

That was a SOLID header. Argentina keeps alive. #ARGEGY

Egypt just WILL NOT be denied. Lawdy, that was a strike. #ARGEGY

Lawdy. Eqypt again! #ARGEGY

Impressive work by Egypt's keeper. Shobeir has been solid from the start. #ARGEGY

With emphasis on the fuck.

Want to know WHY Lionel Messi is so good? It's because he "is perhaps one of the best walkers in all of soccer." His walking "is not a detachment from the match but a conscious action to move through empty spaces of value and claim the control of valuable space.” www.wired.com/story/book-e...

The reason the US sucks at soccer is the same reason we suck at #cycling as transportation--culture. We'll never catch up at soccer until kids of every social class grow up with a ball at their feet. We'll never be a cycling nation until we make it possible for kids to bike everywhere safely.

Women’s World Cup is about 11 months away. FYI.

You know, even for the most desperate Democrats, 13 or 14 strikes and you should be out.

But that's been the case for a decade.

Every time I see Ronaldo I think his head is too small for his body. #PORESP

Good for Belgium for not backing down.

It's astonishing to me that people WHO KNOW BETTER are unwilling to admit the issue is NOT whether the red card was deserved; the issue is the corrupt decision to dismiss it. It's the blatant, flagrant, bald-faced, glaring, conspicuous, unabashed corruption. It's the corruption.

That was as pretty a header as you'd want.

#LarkingAboutInAlleys may not be to everybody's taste, but there's unplanned, artless, unexpected, weird symmetry to be found there. #ricohgr3x #ricohsnaps #photography #DemocraticCamera #urbanphotography

Oh lawdy, I miss living in NYC.

It's the 4th of July. Periodically today I intend to post photographs that show the US flag. #America250 #July4th #photography #DemocraticCamera
