Spirit watch party at the Lincoln Theatre is so cool I’m legit jealous I’m going to be watching from Zion 😭

fart noise

This is great from Jeff: real clarity on why Rodman's potential departure is much more of a bellwether than the handful of big USWNT names to leave NWSL, and on what her leaving would mean for the next players down that list.

TARA TARA TAAAAARA THE EXPLORAAAAAA

This is NOT someone who is looking to leave right away—in fact it is someone who absolutely wants to stay here longer! Berman can dig her own grave if she and the league fumble Trin.

I wonder who led the league in assists this year. Oh, Rose Kouassi? You don't say

I would like to hunt teal man for sport. It would be so easy

I love how much they love each other 😭

I’m sorry but no Monday or Kouassi in the all-NWSL first or second XIs is ridiculous

lol spirit robbed sorry to be a homer but cmon

dunno if i'll ever be over tara mckeown's journey. spent her entire college career, plus TWO pro seasons, as a forward. one offseason they said hey wanna be a center back, she said lol wut ok, started in central defense from day 1, got on the uswnt, and just won defender of the year. WHATDOUMEAN.

the most inevitable force in woso, had to be temwa

Ok this part honoring the first responders that helped King and DeMelo in their medical situations is cool to see

lowkey love this for her, very deserved

we love you star girl

TARA MF'N MCKEOWN

she’s BEGGING to stay and JB is about to let our biggest star walk I’m going to be sick

Trinity Rodman killing it on the blue carpet tonight! #NWSL

We gotta get Hal back on the roster I stg 😤 but so happy for Weezy and Croix

airports: where everything cost ten million dollars and tastes like sewer soufflé

????????????????

the most embarrassing cycle is every four years when I suddenly have to care about men. anyways I’m part Irish and Scottish so 😌

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

man the Stars stuff is harsh yikes

Some people really could use less self-confidence.

There's a lot about this that's fucked up, but moving children's education to the Labor Department underscores such a warped idea of what education is actually for www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Stepping back from commitments... but still teaching at Harvard after emails revealed him using mentorship to extract sex from a student www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

“Olivia Nuzzi is on the phone, she wants to do a profile” starting to approach Isaac Chotiner levels of danger

😈

just imagining waiting a year to publicly drop an atomic warhead on an ex but being like “gotta get that big bamboo metaphor up in there”

“you two—get a LiveJournal” except that’s super unfair to LiveJournal

my wife just shed a tear while saying “it’s like olden times — we’re all online together united in a hate read”

We have to outlaw wildfire and invasive plant metaphors until someone can figure out what the hell is going on

can bad prose be sexually transmitted

I feel so bad for all my amazing former journo buddies who work twice as hard as their dude colleagues to be taken a third as seriously. however, this is incredible content

Oh?

so much fun for many; I made the horrible decision to be on vacation so I’ll be finding WiFi at Zion National Park and dry heaving

I also want to say big kudos to the Orlando Pride. By many measures they were the better team tonight, and they’ve had a really strong season despite some big setbacks. A great, talent packed squad who gave it their all.

District v. Empire IV, for an NWSL Championship

The good news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing thanks to increased investment and competition. The bad news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing and the current salary cap is not gonna cut it. Trinity Rodman is the final test. All in? Or fall behind? www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

Nothing comes between Trinity Rodman and her Coach, Adrián González, when it's team picture time 🤣

OUR TEAM OUR CITY

I really like single site NWSL championship it really makes the weekend something big and important but also imagine if Audi Field was hosting this thing next week

Spirit are really setting a new standard in the NWSL for interacting with the crowd, and I for one am here for it and also need it even bigger and better.

Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one). 😵‍💫
