Window into the mocking with which foreign media is treating the situation. The latest on the live of Le Monde, France’s paper of record: “We’re being told Trump wants to file an appeal with Infantino alleging that the Belgian team played soccer.”

Stunned that “Jared,” “Campbell” and “Amon-Ra” didn’t make the top 15.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Canada was supposed to get crushed, but the program’s DNA kept this a rivalry for one more night, at least. And nobody embodies that DNA like Marie-Philip Poulin, playing hurt, in what might have been final Olympic game. United States 2, Canada 1. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...

To be fair, rules 2 and 3 are probably just good for all non-cat-related activities, too.

I, for one, am just happy the Losgeeles Dodgers are finally getting their due.

Amazon Music going from Wazzu’s fight song, post-win, to “Boomer Sooner” is a vibe. Heisman for all!

After EIGHT years, we finally have a functional sidewalk open to the public, across the street in my neighborhood.

A good day for books! Shipped this 208-page bad boy on the Tigers from @freep.com off to the publisher today, right on time, which means it’s time to dig into the latest from @sheaserrano.bsky.social !

This went live last night - a big PDF bundle of the books I've written at Image. Includes The Wicked + the Divine, DIE, Phonogram, Ludocrats, the first Power Fantasy, We called them giants, etc. Basically, this is the stuff I got into comics to do, and a great chance to grab it.

My apologies to @megaholt.medsky.social , as my mini-Mariners fandom crash — I called losing all 3 ALCS home games and I am not dealing well with being 2/3 right now— led to a regression into my English lit major … all of which seem to apply to the M’s:

This! If I hadn’t gone for a basic ass physical in 2023, I wouldn’t have found out that my heart was failing. If @theford.bsky.social wasn’t married to me, he would be dead from either sepsis, diabetes, a stroke, or cancer—all before 45 years old.

Convinced this rain is the Baseball Gods’ last-ditch effort to stop me from ever seeing a Mariners playoff game in person.

Today in jerseys spotted at Mariners/Tigers Game 3: Cal Raleigh, Ichiro and … Jesse Winker?

I can’t believe I got it. #Jaguars

Well, that was a heckuva wild-card series in Cleveland. Excited to get a game or two in Detroit in the ALDS for the whole @freep.com crew to cover.

Lol Tesla's fake robotaxi is asking riders to tip. Comical shit. sfstandard.com/2025/09/15/t...

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

Well it finally happened

And there it is, with the official Apple signage. Now all my neighborhood needs is for the Tecovas shop to open.

interesting if very specific statistic

With how many late afternoon/night games the Lions are playing this year, having a 1 p.m. start against the Bears felt almost like a 9 a.m. game for the Monday edition of @freep.com, with great coverage from @davebirkett.bsky.social and so many others.

Judged solely on vibes, this TD should either count double, or count for zero points, and I’m really not sure which.

As a Coug of a certain age, I thought I had a cap on the wellspring of my hatred for the Los Angeles schools. UCLA is bringing me joy I didn’t know existed. Explaining to my MSU-alum wife @megaholt.medsky.social — Coug-splaining?— the saga of how UCLA got here … with a full Big Ten sked ahead …

The PAC-12 tried to keep this contained in a nice 1130 pm start in Pullman, but, noooo, the Big Ten decided to spread UCLA-25 all over the damn country.

You hate to see it

Well, my downtown Detroit neighborhood finally has Apple Store signage, if not an open store yet. The gentrification rolls on. At least it’s somewhere I’m likely to go to (unlike the Chick-fil-A in development hell for the past year or so).

This sentence is basically one Steilacoom away from a Washington State citizenship exam.

Lions (fans) catching strays, but none of this is wrong.

"Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher Scores Last-Minute Equalizer for First-Ever NWSL Goal" has to be the most NWSL After Dark sentence in the history of human existence

it's very true that Nazis can be welcoming and accommodating TO INFLUENCERS who they want to help them spread their message. if Nazis are being nice to you it isn't a sign they are more "welcoming". it's a sign they find you useful.

It’s tough for @megaholt.medsky.social and I to get to Eastern Market most of the time, so when Eastern Market veggies come to us at the Y downtown, we have to go. And hang out with the squirrel passing on gifted cherries in favor of burlap bags.

One of the things we should probably acknowledge about Harry Potter is that as an IP it was hard carried by some incredibly talented people, Alfonso Cuaron directed the 3rd entry between Y tu mamá también and Children of Men, it was kinda lightning in a bottle that they're not gonna recapture.

I have some mean kitty-wand skills.

Y’know, I bet if @theford.bsky.social and I found a place and picked a weekend or something-like, a Caturday-to set up a Kitty Olympics, people would totally bring their cats and participate. It would be amazing.

I’m not saying Texas State is or isn’t a proper Pac-12 school, but getting this ish done on June 30 when the deadline for 2026 is (likely) July 1 is a helluva “filing 25-page reports at 11:59 p.m.” vibe from my days at Wazzu. #GoCougs

So when do they fire the mana … oh, wait.

Thrilled to see Murray State represent here.

For years, I joked that Spokane (where I was born, and about an hour north of my alma mater) made its way into the 1960s and decided to never leave. So … I guess 1970 finally hit?

My five year old got gassed at a soccer game tonight.

Spokane is a real football city

Lego cat 😂 #CatsOfBlueSky

I grew up on The Beach Boys, handed down from my Boomer dad in the days when they were making guest spots on Full House. He never played Pet Sounds once for me; he stuck to the stuff from 65 and earlier.

Success! Got it all put back, got changed into real clothes, and made it to the bank literally just in time (aka: one minute before close 😬) to get a new debit card! Went on a walk with @theford.bsky.social, pet Lasagna the cat (someone in Detroit adopt her please!), and got food for the boys!

The Bucks, Cavs and Knicks, to the Thunder:

I... oh my god. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Yes, little Apple has turned the litterbox into a urinal he uses whenever he sees me peeing standing up.

So, in new news… @theford.bsky.social and I had to combine our creative thinking skills in order to create a new trash can for our bathroom. Why did we have to do that instead of just using a normal, taller trash can w/o a lid, a small can w/a lid, or putting the can under the sink, you ask?
