Get in!

We’re gonna need a Paul Rothrock mic’d up match. I’d pay just about anything to hear his trash talking, because it clearly, clearly works.

Every American should have to work in retail or food service at least once in their lifetime. And every soccer fan should have to be a referee for at least one season.

Other than the 30 minute allergy attack, the arctic wind blasting through the stadium, and giving up a clown show of a goal in the 2nd minute, I really enjoyed Soundering last night.

Looks great.

I’d watch 90 minutes of a Bruce Arena cam from that match.

JESÚS COOKED THE ENTIRE SQUAD 😭

Nouhou assist! Nouhou assist!

Peter Kingston is for real, btw.

Nouhou was my man of the match. No doubt.

Go Dawgs!

So many international journalists around the stadium tonight looking for World Cup hits.

To Temple.

I am truly interested to see the lineup Schmetzer rolls out today. #sounders

It was bound to happen sooner or later. A student has complained that my class ban of AI is "political" and "leftist". He (shocking) argues that I should not be allowed to ban its use or "punish" students for using it and that doing so infringes on his freedom.

We’re putting the final touches on our new magazine, which will be available in time for the start of the World Cup. It’s clocking in at a hefty 56 pages of content. Think you’ll really enjoy this: sounderatheart.bigcartel.com/product/iv-w...

I'm not interested in the argument over referee bias, please. But this is an excellent example of why language framing matters. One could just as easily write: "Tottenham committed twice as many yellow card infractions as other EPL teams when Gillett was center ref."

How humiliating it must be to pretend to be as dumb as your boss. The "only when the sun is shining" bit is a toddler's understanding of solar energy. In fact, I reckon I could teach a toddler about batteries with a simple afternoon science experiment on my patio. I hate it here.

Every member of this administration is just the worst human being you can imagine.

Huh.

Thanks for the reminder, Coach.

Jackson Park for All.

Fuckin told you to vote for Kamala Devi Harris, you bipedal dunce caps.

Your mission is to fill Interbay for the opener. See you there.

Immigrants are the only damn thing keeping our economy (sort of) functioning. It’s racism. Full stop.

Sports fan: How did the player/ref/coach mess that up? I don’t know, Kevin, how have you still not responded to my email from 5 days ago? Sometimes people mess up at their jobs.

Fun fact: there is no evidence that “ed tech” had improved learning. There are tens of thousands of studies showing that ed tech helps accomplish something (usually an assessment that measures how well the tech was used). But students don’t LEARN more. They just PRODUCE more.

More than zero.

GOP’er: You want health care, education, food, and transportation paid for by the government! Normal person: Yes. That’s right. GOP’er: That’s socialism! Normal person: Oh THAT’S socialism. Then yes. I’d like one socialism, please.

“Business” is a handy catch all phrase here.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Imagine getting on a cruise ship after the news of the last week.

Extreme wealth is a mental illness.

Yes.

I’m moving to NY, man.

Republicans are being used. Democrats are being erased. But make no mistake, when MAGA finally removes every guardrail, they will fully abandon the GOP as well. And none of us will have legal recourse. This isn’t Democrats v. Republicans. It’s MAGA v. Humanity. I wish they knew that.

Big get!

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

In case you were under the impression that extreme Car Brain was limited to the metro area, some residents of Whidbey Island are currently losing their minds because the county is lowering speed limits on short, windy, rural roads from 40 to 30.

The Ballard Boys are BACK‼️ See you Friday night at Interbay! #BallardFC | #UpTheBridges

Weekend at Bernies was a comedy. This shit ain't funny.

When will democrats learn that we don't want lower taxes, we just want our taxes to pay for things that benefit us.

Welcome aboard, Megan Cardenas! 🔥 Another talented midfielder’s set to control the middle of Pagliacci Pitch this summer! Megan is from Spokane but has played all over including stints with Macclesfield International Academy and Halifax Women.

These are without a doubt the weirdest motherfuckers on earth.

One thing this weekend in MLS has shown is that the Western Conference is WIDE OPEN. If the Sounders find their shooting boots, they can win it. The next 3 matches matter a LOT, and the WC break could really work for or against us in so many ways...
