Feels like this should be the Bluesky mission statement, can't say it any better

Getting up there!

DUBS IN THE CITY!!!! #VAMOSUNITED ⚫️🔴

Strong performance by DC Power. They took advantage of a 10th minute red card for Fort Lauderdale, ramped up the pressure, and romped to a 4-0 victory.

Disappointed that DC didn't come away with a point today. DC wasn't great in the first half, but was improved and slightly the better side for much of the second half (after Hopkins and Pirani entered), I thought.

What an amazing gift to the world was Red Dwarf. RIP, Rob, and many thanks.

You live in a time when you can see on your phone high-res photos taken over the weekend by a nuclear-powered rover on Mars.

@capitalcitysoccer.bsky.social Enjoyed the lasted pod. FYI, from MLS roster rules, "To remove a U22 Initiative Slot classification, a club may... loan the player outside of MLS...." Good news there.

See that larger white blob at lower left, and the smaller blob to its right? That's Earth and the Moon. Photographed from the orbit of Mercury.

@brucedunord.bsky.social Bruce, I thought you might have an interest in this DCU podcast with an interview with Sean Sittnick. He's now with DCU, though the interview includes a little discussion of his 12 years with Minnesota United. Good stuff from @capitalcitysoccer.bsky.social.

Time for the Capital City Go-Go home opener! Major League Band with the pre-game/halftime entertainment.

This is a dust devil... on Mars.

Coming up on Programme 4: Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) is BROOKER

Ridiculous that the ref allowed 3 minutes beyond the 7 minutes of stoppage time to allow Phoenix to score the equalizer against Loudoun. There was a case for 1 extra minute. No justification not to have blown the whistle well before that goal.

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre. It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky. But it's us. It's Earth. From Mars.

@eschmitz.bsky.social FYI, I am a QPR supporter and Suriname #22 Kenneth Paal has been QPR's left back the last three seasons. His contract expired and we let him go, so he is currently available on a free. Been playing mid in this tournament. Anyway, good player and available.

@usmnt.ussoccer.com game attended #95.

I'm off on a quick trip to Hartford to support the Stars-and-Stripes! Back tomorrow via Amtrak. #USMNT I'm looking forward to seeing a few friends there and a few more at the Nashville game on Tuesday!

@futbologyapp.bsky.social New requests from the USA: a) could you add USL W League? b) I see you recently added men's NCAA Division I college teams (thanks!); please add the Division I women, also, and please consider adding college men & women in NCAA Divisions II and III. Thanks!

I hit a big round number of soccer games attended on Tuesday. 700! If any friends are on @futbologyapp.bsky.social & haven't connected, please do. I recommend the app. It is good free, but a small sub fee is worth it for extra features like access to past-year schedules & current nearby fixtures.

@futbologyapp.bsky.social Please consider adding the Northern Super League, the new Division 1 women's league in Canada. Six teams. First game was yesterday. Thanks.

This Sunday night in Los Angeles!

Yes, I am one of those sickos who wakes up excited on the day of the @concacaf.bsky.social Gold Cup draw. Bring on 7pm ET! @podcacaf.bsky.social @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social

Enjoying four nights in Toronto, catching Wizards/Raptors twice and live jazz the other nights. Upper deck tonight, lower corner on Monday.

Tonight at 9

It’s the highly anticipated Easy AM 66 Top 25 of the Year!

Vacation hoops, part II. SD Clippers vs Memphis Hustle again. But this time, the Memphis Grizzlies called up the Hustle's two leading scorers from Friday, so things aren't close. Clips up over 30 in the 4th.

We're in the San Diego area for the holidays, so I decided to check out G League action in the new arena in Oceanside -- SD Clippers vs Memphis Hustle. I saw Yuki Kawamura play against the Wizards earlier this month for the Grizzlies and he is in action for the Hustle tonight.

Tonight at 10, it’s the delightful, comedic spin-off of The Prisoner, BE SEEING YOU

Do yourself a favor. Sit down, get back up and adjust the antenna, then sit back down again, relax, put your feet up and absorb the glory that is Easy AM 66:

…”ours is a club that attracts weird, wonderful, fantastic people. It ropes them in, and they cannot escape”

Had a wonderful time supporting @qpr.co.uk yesterday. 1-1 draw with Stoke. All 3 points would have been useful in the quest to stay in this division, but I was overjoyed to be back at Loftus Road nonetheless.

Seasick Steve rocked it last night at Shepherd's Bush Empire. Great show!
