Seems like the Iran debacle and ICE occupation of MN are perfect examples of “The Bubble” and how it should be defined. Reps gassed themselves up that everybody loved bombing Iran and kidnapping brown people, they were unaware how unpopular both those things are.

Didn’t we just go through this, where this particular Republican negotiated a military withdrawal, but it was left up to Democrat President to implement? We all remember the universal reaction then, right?

Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.

I think the criticisms of “flow” and momentum are true. For me they really break up the game, in a sense shortening it, a soccer match played in quarters is somehow less symphonic.

So they all saw he was checking out, JD did a media blitz to position himself as successor, they saw he didn’t have it and now the knives are out.

This is going to be so crazy we may finally break the, “if you don’t love every dog, at every location, at all times, you’re a monster,” madness we’ve been living under.

Good opportunity to remind folks, a disabled traffic light is a four way stop whether they are flashing red or not.

Can we all use that penalty sequence to decide that we’re gonna stop the “I have a little trick I do” penalty run ups.

New “puff puff pass” just dropped, “take, took, toke.”

Name a TV show you’re positive no on remembers but you.

Dr. Congo sounds like somebody The Tiger King hired to say how he was treating exotic animals was okay.

My favorite, "I like the Old MN flag" comment. "The new one is too simplistic." Aaaaah...the age old flag design standard, more complex is better. How did we not considered that.

I’d have no desire Haaland go supernova and Norway make a bit of a run at this World Cup. If they do the Vikings fans are going to adopt the Rowing cheer thing and act like they invented it. Just like they did with Iceland and the Euros.

one of the oldest running dialogues in history is "war is a massively complicated political, bureaucratic, and logistical endeavor" vs. "fuck you pussy, war is when you're a fucking badass, oh shit I lost"

If anybody has a reliable mechanic that knows Transits and can deal with a 23’ long +10’ tall vehicle, let me know.

Maybe it’s because I’m dealing with a Ford Transit van and most places deal with fleet contracts and fleet managers get better treatment or just don’t care, but why is it so hard to do things like “Schedule a service appt.” and “Get service done at time of appt. not a day later?”

So did anybody even check if the problem was algae before they tried to fix algae? I’m just looking at a picture, but that looks a lot like tree pollen which is yellowish, and yellow and blue….

Some friends of mine, three brothers and a sister who was determined to compete with the brothers played this exact game. It's been modified over the years, and now any one of them can drop an acorn in your drink from across the yard to this day.

My 1st generation English Aunt lives in KC and hasn't followed soccer much until now, has been going to all the Argentinian parties and events in town. Sent some videos to her cousin (my great-cousin?) in England. Just got, "👎" in response. 😆😂😆😂

The most worrying thing in that Cheeto slurry video is the amount of salt and sugar, both “natural” ingredients by any definition.

Watching a soccer game called by John Paul Delacamera, always takes me back to the ‘80’s when ESPN was showing MISL Indoor Soccer games.

The look of a guy who thought killing a baby rabbit would be more fun than it was.

There has to be a wire frame of some sort in there somewhere. Like if you wanted a mannequin to display a Victorian dress.

Al Pacino as The Penguin.

We have a casualty, taken out by a sunbeam.

Is the Curaçao national anthem specifically sax based, or just that particular rendition?

I get my NBA news exclusively from Bluesky. As far as I can tell the knicks have somehow lost every game by 9:00 pm then won every game by 11:00 pm, and are now champions?

Why is there a curtain printed to be a Whitehouse hung up in front of the actual Whitehouse?

So much worse with Rebecca Lowe, Thierry Henry, and Zlatan having a clearly great time then being forced to throw to Lalas so he can kill the vibe.

$34 may sound a little steep fir a lobster roll, but all that extra claw meat really makes up for it.

“Qatar will need God, but I’m here, so…” -Zlatan

[Bowing head deeply in shame]: “These chips and salsa bring great embarrassment. We have not earned these. I must respectfully ask you to serve as my kaishakunin.”

The USMNT’s performance last night was the best I’ve ever seen in a World Cup, and a giant leap past “best case scenario” in my mind prior to the game, and it’s okay to celebrate a little bit.

Uh, Oh Canada.

Is that Alanis Morisette?!

Of all the corruption and indignities of this World Cup, making us wait 5 hours for another game is right up there.

Folks, I don’t think South Africa has what it takes to win the Cup this time.

LFG!!!!

Thinking about putting on a hoody.

Lot going on today, just wanted to put this here for when Trump claims we need to send the 82nd Airborne to Kharg island to open the Hormuz Straight

How many people would use freeways if they were 1/2 mile long and not connected to any other roads?

I often wonder if the Ice Cream Truck Guy that heads past on my street everyday on his way to the local Middle School for dismissal time, pays attention to the school calendar; or if just one day in June he shows up, waits for a bit...."Well, it was good while it lasted."

Excited for the World Cup to start tomorrow. Been waiting for an opportunity to have Alexi Lalas explain ,why not letting a Somali referee in the country is good, to me.

“Taller” and “height” have actual meanings. I would like to live in that reality again someday.

Need a “Family Guy is it a Terrorist” meme, but for rioter v protestor and the color card is somehow “left” v “right.”

An under appreciated difference between US football stadiums and European football stadiums is European stadiums largely cover the terraces to protect the fans from rain but also provide shade, US stadiums, unless domed, are mainly open to the pounding sun in summer.

I enjoyed Ski-Mo for a bit, but the course and zones for removing/replacing skins, etc. made it seem pretty contrived. Let's get them climbing over actual mountain passes!! Give me a Ski-Mo Tour de France Stagesque marathon of some sort.

Let me check, generalizing a derogatory statement to an entire group of people based on their race (nationality)....yep....that's a racism. The charges would be accurate Michele.

I have yet to hear of a Republican put up against Omar by the Frey Guys. If we can get Angie Craig to drop out, can I just not care about a primary for once?
