Every live performance of Trinidad I hear moves it further from “most overrated song of 2025” and toward “most egregious studio mix of 2025”

it’s that time again

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred

The lack of activism from this iteration of the USWNT feels very correlated to how elite-level soccer has increasingly become a sport just for the rich (which often means more conservative) in this country

it is worth stepping outside the bluesky ecosystem for a moment to realize that everybody everywhere hates this shit. boomer facebook libs are posting like sephiroth. twitter is 10x more ruthless and mad than this place is right now. ICE is never recovering from these few weeks

Working on a theory that a big part of the reason Nazis are able to become popular again is that the generation of Americans who went overseas to fight and kill Nazis is basically no longer with us

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

the league tried its damnedest to mess this up, and if rodman didn't have the connection to dc and the community of supporters at audi field, she would be yet another star leaving. they'll tout this as a league-wide win, it is not, the win is the property of the women's soccer community in dc.

All the birds to Berman! Trinity deserves the world and more. She’s given so much to DC and I’m glad she calls the DMV home.

Just remembered this exists and had to listen to it and then had to share it.

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

Ok Fernando that was cool.

If I were from Chicago I’d still die for Caleb Williams good lord

Found money season. Tons of fun. An actual QB for the first time literally ever. Go Bears.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring your Rams inside.

someone who understands that the point of winning power is to use it

The greatest generation. You're hearing this more and more.

to despair and embrace cynicism was to hand powerful weapons to the enemy

Bouie keeps getting slammed for these sensible and sober minded Takes because there are people who've come to see anything short of maximal Doomerism as somehow complacency - you're saying I *shouldn't* feel maximally bad!??? Yet it is obvious on reflection that maximal doomerism breeds complacency.

The problem with the Dodgers is 10% that they have an unfair amount of money to spend, 10% that they have a geographic advantage, and a full 80% that they are orders of magnitude better at operating a baseball team than any of their competitors. Unprecedented skill issue.

He looks like a 79-year-old Make-A-Wish kid

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

I am once again asking

my guy is going for a war crimes EGOT

Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Losing marquee players to WSL for under their worth $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my NWSL is dying

The full sad trombone that played in my head when I saw the Spirit’s USWNT callup post, thought “hey isn’t Trin supposed to be back now?” and then had it slowly sink in.

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

Should they have cared about all this before now? Yes. Did you reach the right position before them? Sure, here's a gold star. Do we need their numbers to make this work? Yes. Please stop acting like the hipster who knew about this band before anyone else. We actually do need the normies.

it is both true that more training won’t fix the agency’s problems and also true that 47 days of training - picked corruptly and arbitrarily - is a scandal on it’s own that people should know about (i didn’t know this)

the last QB the Bears beat in the postseason was MATT HASSELBECK

GOOD BETTER BEST MOTHERFUCKERS

The Catholic church requires an individual to perform two miracles to achieve sainthood. Pope only needs one more

BEAR THE FUCK DOWN

HALLELUJAH. HOLY SHIT. PASS THE TYLENOL.

ben johnson was the exact dude this group needed

We might have some heroes

Two of my teams did something, apparently

Is Vatican City a NATO member? Because frankly I need the Pope locked in on the Bears right now.

pope up at 3:50am his time in a bears robe pacing around the pope bedroom, muttering real chicago things
