Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space.

"The chemical, called 6PPD-Q, is formed when fine tire particles meet ozone. That happens anytime new chunks of tire are exposed to the air, meaning the particle may be nearly ubiquitous in car-heavy environments."

Vermont Green have gone unbeaten in the regular season for the second year in a row. I wrote about them here last year. Article also relevant to the 'support your local club' movement on the back of the World Cup.

If you’re ever lost in the wilderness, just build a cycle path because someone is bound to pull up in their car and park in it.

LOVING THE CUP?: Then buy the book: Around the World Cup in 40 Years frontrow.soccer/y4l20

The US women's team has 4 world cup titles and 5 Olympic gold medals. They're a heavy favorite for the women's world cup next year. The Men's team has 0 in both. The women get the job done.

The technical term for getting beaten soundly by Belgium in soccer is “getting waffle housed.”

Booed the mention of NYCFC on the broadcast, as you do.. #USABEL

FIFA's own rules dictate that if a government tries to intervene in a disciplinary matter - that team is disqualified. Not happening to the USA though, despite trump making that phone call. Wonder why. 🤔 Fuck Trump. Fuck Infantino. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

THREE extremely unethical situations at the World Cup require more football stakeholders to challenge wrongs. 1. Banishment of the Somali referee 2. Balogun red card political interference 3. Treatment of Iran team Players/managers/officials/administrators. Pressure on FIFA should be unrelenting.

🚨 BREAKING: UEFA has released a statement expressing disbelief at FIFA's decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's red card ban in the Round of 16, saying that it "crossed a red line." #FIFAWorldCup As always the USA ruins everything and anything it touches. 😡

Americans: Trump is corrupt and he must pay for all of his corruption. Same Americans when they delude themselves they can win the W*rld Cup: this isn't corruption, justice is served. USA! USA! USA! Not all Americans, but more than enough, and that's why we can't trust you aside from individually

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

FIFA just effectively cancelled a US player's Red Card because Donald Trump asked them to. It's time for an end to the corrupt FIFA they are now fixing the games and disgracing the sport.

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

Messi is just a good dude. And this is why if you are a Ronaldo fan, you are a piece of shit. I don't make the rules.

RALPH ZAMARIPPA has been the club’s Swiss Army Knife since joining. He’s ambipedal, meaning he’s just as skilled with each of his feet. He lines up at both fullback positions & in the center of the midfield. Zamarippa joined NYIFC via our acquisition of Borgetto FC in the summer of 2025.

@garrykasparov.bsky.social Every new sanction on Russia demands the question why wasn’t it already in place. Stop the incrementalism. Stop reacting and apply overwhelming sanctions that will cripple Russia’s war machine and economy now. x.com/kasparov63/s...

These cops need to be fired, and that they won’t be is why people think ACAB.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

Kinda wild how Americans are way more into the World Cup, a sport they mostly do t give a fuck about, more than the country’s 250th birthday. Can’t imagine what caused that to happen. No clue. None.

U.S. building codes accumulate rules without cost-benefit analysis, favor industry incumbents, and create cost gaps other countries don't have — a basic elevator costs $158K in NYC vs. $36K in Switzerland. cayimby.org/blog/shining...

the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I learned that Kat Abughazaleh spent 12 bucks on a basket of fast food shrimp.

Happiest moment of the tournament so far this for me. How can you not be delighted for those players, those fans, and that manager. Vamos Ecuador!!!

Drinking the tears tonight of former Woodhaven residents/retirees who sold their houses to the soccer-loving browner folk they not-so-secretly despise for ‘100% not-racist reasons’. Jenifer was a craven machine apparatchik who went out of her way to make her fellow brown neighbors feel unwelcome.

Big props to Brad Lander on winning his primary. Dude has done the moral thing many times and put his body on the line against ICE. He even came to Minnesota during the ICE Occupation to see the injustice firsthand. It’s nice to see moral courage rewarded by voters.
