Hit me with the Kirkland Signature

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

"Equal obligation" among citizens and government agents to "avoid violence" is a Hobbesian view of governance, the kind explicitly rejected by the Framers in favor of the Lockean social compact. The state is a trustee, the agents fiduciaries, the citizens beneficiaries. Read a book you dullards.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Bill Nye: The United States has been the world's leader in science for decades. This president and the members of his cabinet suppress science to the detriment of our health, well-being, and international competitiveness. It is a formula for failure.

When do we start the Paul Rothrock Ballon d'Or conversation

WorldCon attendees crowdsourced a Reading List of books mentioned in panels, and it's beautiful!

“Be elegant in triumph” “Hawk too-ah in defeat”

Inter Miami spent $44.5 MILLION more than the Sounders on their starting lineup ($52.1M v $7.6M) only to lose 3-0 and then throw an epic meltdown of a tantrum. Money can't buy class. Or a Cup, apparently.

The amount of chill that Obed displayed when the greats of his childhood starting bullying him was so impressive. The kid is amazing.

SOURCES: in an effort to get ahead of miami’s RHONJ-style brawl tonight, MLS is banning clint dempsey for two years. (does she ever get tired of making this joke? no she does not.)

Leagues Cup trophy is an awfully bignshot glass. Just saying.

So, @supersecretsqrl.bsky.social and I drove by this intersection earlier today. Maybe it was a sign. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 📍 Seabeck, WA

Andrew Thomas named Goalkeeper of the Tournament. Pedro de la Vega wins the Golden Ball.

WHY DO I THINK THEY HAD TO RELOAD THOSE CONFETTI CANNONS AND COULDN'T FIND THE GREEN

Do I think the League's Cup is stupid? Yes. Do I also celebrate winning it over Messi and the most rediculous team in MLS who get their own rules written for them to field Barcelona circa 2012? Also yes. I'm complex, I contain multitudes.

Miami and Seattle get into a minor melee after Seattle wins the Leagues Cup

There is no better representation in American Soccer than the Seattle Sounders. NASL, USL, and MLS. Founded in 1974. Culture. History. Trophies. Sounders. 🐳 @SoundersFC
