It’s fine for Peltola to do this, provided it never has a chance of actually becoming policy. But blue staters cheering on the hollowing out of state capacity is legitimately infuriating though. It’s just unspeakably stupid.

Ok, I’ll admit it. I do not believe teaching children to write in cursive matters. It’s not bad on the merits or anything, but writing cursive isn’t helpful to them. But people have *unreasonably* strong feeling about this. It’s basically the most pointless RETVRN take that has its hooks in people.

Absolute bottom of the barrel, worse than the Porter era stuff from the boys in yellow today. #Crew96

Working off of Tony’s (correct) theory that rookies are generally bad, the notion of trading the #5 pick for Zu isn’t actually disastrous *for the next 2 years*. But it has the potential of making the Post-Siakam/Zu prime years, which aren’t far off, really bleak.

What I’m watching is Columbus SC. This can’t be the #Crew96

That’s typical Apple production. Show one split second replay, NYCFC definitely looks offside on it, cuts away never to be shown again. Anyway, the #Crew96 are terrible.

It sucks to be the Pacers for sure, but this means the biggest loser of the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery is either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson.

I hate sports.

I hate how the British constantly butcher our language. But ‘clean sheet’ >>>>> ‘shutout’

Sort of fascinating how MLS and the WNBA are situated similarly, having a literal once in the history of their sport level star in their league, and they handle them in completely opposite ways. Messi is ludicrously oversaturated and the W media has a sneering contempt for Caitlin.

Citing prediction markets as authoritative on anything is just a sign that you are a degenerate gambler. “Who do you plan to vote for?” and “who do you think is going to win?/what is the value of betting on someone to win?” are *fundamentally* different questions.

This is obviously a dumb post. Matt knows it’s a dumb post. But it is sort of sociologically fascinating how much Grumbach and Bonica get under his (and Lakshya Jain who has gone through a full Nate Silver cycle of misery at light speed) skin.

I have no respect for the position of ‘don’t blame it on the refs’. No one has more power on the field of play than them. They *absolutely* can determine the outcomes of games and should never be let off the hook for it. This is a tweet about hockey. But also a tweet about all sports.

I was ambivalent about six-seven until earlier today when my three oldest kids all cheered when the gas pump stopped at $67.

He’s there to steal the determining inbound ping pong ball if it isn’t going to go the Pacers’ way.

I don’t think there is a professional athlete I dislike more than Joel Embiid. But it counts for something that he contributed to making the worst among us, Boston Celtics fans, cry.

A certified Dumb Loss. #Crew96

Someone forgot to tell Hugo that this isn’t an Open Cup game 😏 #Crew96

I was worried for a bit about Max’s World Cup chances. I’m not anymore. #Crew96

Good half. And uh, we are demonstrably better in every way since WAA went down 👀 #Crew96

I treat @ntd.bsky.social as the #1 diesel expert among political scientists. So I have a question: is $5.57 per gallon cheap or?

One lesson from this unbelievably grim story is that MLS fans do not hate Austin FC supporters enough. If Vegas steals a team, they should be jeered in every stadium in the league (besides Austin, of course).

American Haaland opens his account. 💰#Crew96

I like ‘Fertlizer Field’. Maybe we can start collectively calling it The Big Fert. It has more character than ‘LDC’ and we get to poke fun at the fact we have the dumbest stadium name in North America. #Crew96

lol #Crew96

Hugo Picard may just be a flat track bully. #Crew96

Austin FC Fans Start "#MoveTheCaps" Campaign www.thenutmegnews.com/current/2026...

Exhibit #12947 on how declining birth rates is a genuine social problem but folks are incapable of talking about it like a normal person. It’d be good if more people had kids, or if people had more than they already have! Calling childless people sub-human ain’t gonna solve it though brother.

Extremely happy with the 3 points but maybe next time don’t try your hardest to throw them in the trash during the final 10’ 🤞 #Crew96

Unlocked. #Crew96

I'll vote for anyone who makes it illegal for companies to tell you they've shipped your item when in reality they have only created a shipping label.

It’s crazy how similar the Henrik Rydström Experience is to Late Stage Caleb Porter. #Crew96

I wasn’t able to tune in until the 40’, but I’m a fan of this. #Crew96

Get a nice morale boosting win tonight *and* we retain the privilege of getting knocked out of the USOC by a USL team in the next round. This is soccer heritage. #Crew96

Rydström should fully commit to being a track suit manager. #Crew96

The fifth Beatle put on his shootin’ boots tonight. Good for him. #Crew96

Here is @morganhughes.bsky.social’s personal lord and savior. Go Aves.

Why do the Saudis want to get worse at soccer?

I broke my rule of only tweeting at halftime and full time of #Crew96 games. But Henrik Rydstrom brings out the worst in all of us, apparently.

Another totally unacceptable result. #Crew96

Gazdag getting a winner would be such a funny outcome. #Crew96

Ladies and gentlemen, Henrik Rydstrom’s Columbus #Crew96. It’s disgusting.

Slawson’s gotta have one of the highest goaltends per 48 min in NBA history.

It’s a good thing that Orban lost. It’s hysterical that JD Vance spent so much energy, during wartime, to help him lose. Serious question: has any major American politician ever exuded more raw loser energy than him?

Can’t wait for the Nate Silver tweet blaming Joe Biden for this.

The hard work is done in Indy. Detroit has the 1 seed locked up. Sunday: Pacers by a trillion. LFG.

I’m half expecting Adam Silver to turn the lights out in the arena and tell everyone to go home. But this sort of rules.

I’m here with the #1 non-Hoosier Pacers fan in the world to see what could be the funniest game of the entire NBA season. In all seriousness though, being able to watch ball together is a top tier parenting experience. 10/10 will do 82x again next year.

Turnovers aside, I’m glad that this group that has been run out there with the expectation of losing legitimately putting up a fight over the last 3 halves.

Hey look, impossibly cringey people live in Storrs, CT, too.
