I'm not even rooting against Argentina at this point I am rooting against FIFA

Do you know how I mad I am to say that Paredes didn't deserve that yellow card? Me?! Standing up for an Argentinian player? Fuuuuuuuck. Good play.

Man, tomorrow is gonna suck for the USMNT.

Man turns out having your insane president stick his nose in places where it doesn't belong, breaking rules and upending norms is a way to really inspire a whole country's national team to play like they're on fire and dog walk you. Whodathunk?

We deserve to lose

I don't want to be patriotic on main or anything, but I wouldn't mind a USA win in this game. However, looking at how they're playing...not looking likely.

If anyone near you is crying about sports this is probably how they feel

belgiums win feels suspicious.

@midnightburger.bsky.social - I need the holopicture! My life will not be complete without the holopicture! 😭

After earthquakes shattered much of the capital in Venezuela, Project Hope's Cesar Jimenez says rescue crews are racing to save hundreds trapped as international aid arrives and hospitals struggle to cope.

He's such a millennial.

Watching Caprica for the first time and Lady Featherington is a sister at a school, Jared Kelso is a pyramid player, and Esai Morales continues to be hot as fuck. 10/10 so far.

My favorite part of Sam's newsletter (derogatory to Spam Cam) is that he then called the producer of the podcast and said "Hey homie, you mind waiting until after I'm nominated to publish this?" if I had that kind of audacity I'd be unstoppable.

What you wish you could be doing in New York right now is what you could be doing when It happens. HAVE A PLAN.

I've been thinking about the EM work being done in the background during the World Cup and it's so neat thinking about how needs are different than a disaster but still the same (people be people). Hope everyone is having fun!!

@slingtv.bsky.social - why in the world are none of today's World Cup games available on FS1 OR Fox????

Chicago is in my top 5 favorite cities and this trip cemented it for me.

It's not: • Independent • Worker-owned • Autonomous • Sustainable • Ethical • Anti-fascist • Liberatory if it's: • On Substack

If you make carrot cakes on the regular, does it matter how you grate the carrots? #askacook

Relistening to @midnightburger.bsky.social for the 80th time, and I'm on episode 36. I had missed the part where Zebulon says "oh! les escargots! 😡" Friends. I feel like I should be doing an embroidery piece about this. God I wish I was a better artist.

My continuity of operations class is being taught by a guy from Chicago and it's adorable how he discusses threats for the east. Hurricanes have levels. Ice storms are "no big deal". I called him a hater and I am glad I don't have detention as an adult.

I really, really, really love Continuity of Operations planning. Let me use my anxiety for good and in service of others. 10/10!

Does anyone make math workbooks for adults trying to have a problem that can be solved? Like a coloring book, but with math problems. So much of my work is not concrete and it would be nice to do a worksheet where I can answer everything on it and know if it's right or wrong.

Won't someone think of the $70 million dollar jet owners? Absolute bread and circuses take from this op-ed.

System of a Down

I really don't know what to do with these people. I, a dedicated socialist, voted for your shitty candidate because I knew what the stakes were. All people did is object to genocide, which is the baseline moral obligation of any human being.

I'm feeling the kind of bored I haven't felt in a while. Like, time to get an ill-advised tattoo bored.

'Disappointed,' 'Surprised,' 'Betrayed': 12 toddlers who were trying to play with fire after being told they could not play with fire.

This is where I - a Dominica. - fucked up by moving to Western NC. My Mountain to Plantain ratio is at an all time low. I went to a store that wanted $2/plantain. Excuse me???? This is the country my ancestors dreamed of.

also, I just ✨question✨ the secret service "letting" 4 types of attempts to go down. you're telling me that it's for real and the secret service is that incompetent? gun violence is a part of our lives AND this is sus af.

Recovery is a marathon. Helene recovery is an ultra marathon...in hell. Saw the news that the forestry service was effectively being dismantled and whatnot and I just...need a cigarette. There are thousands of acres in WNC that have a stupid amount of fire hazard debris and FEMA won't touch it.

new fun drinking game: take a shot every time a coworker says, “i’m scared for this fire season” (please don’t do this. you’ll be teleporting to a waffle house by 10am)

Is increased light sensitivity a thing that happens when you get older? I don't think I'm close to perimenopause yet but is this another thing I can blame on that? I've never wished I had Rx sunglasses more. 🫥

Casper has a type and it's blunt scientists! Bless him.

I'd use my friend making abilities to just be besties with the Iranian naval captains. They'd open it for me exclusively tho.

That's not the first Dominican who has been let down by 4 inches from an American man

United States baseball, continuing the American Dream of failing upwards. #WBC

DR just got fucking robbed #WBC

Fuck this WBC I hope the USA gets obliterated by the winner of Venezuela v Italy.

Team USA advances to the WBC finals on an awful botched strike call.

Ending a WBC semifinal on a call that bad is shameful.

GET THIS UMPIRE OUT OF HERE WHAT THE FUCKKKKK DR WAS ROBBED

That was a dirty call by the ump. I would've rather lost to Korea than to the US. #wbc

I can't compete with this.

Watching Star Trek TNG and there's an episode called Unnatural Selection about genetically modified kids. I want to knowwwwwwwwww what happened to them? Did they die when their parents died? Did the quarantine on Darwin Station really last forever?

Kids are wild because what do you mean I had the most traumatizing therapy session of the year and my 15 year old texts me "What's your favorite dead nation? I think mine is whatever was in the Songhai nation."
