hosted trivia tonight: a team of girls used one of their numbers as a team name, I texted her and she immediately tried to bribe me 😂😂😂😭

been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

also: one of these days, I need to write up the full story of all of my indirect interactions with _The Other Nate Rathjen_ because it is truly something

okay friends I know it’s been a rough day but hopefully Cindy bellies make it a little better

We should get Ashley Sanchez back as emotional and positional compensation, that trade is why we drafted Croix in the first place

fuck the salary cap

When I think of history-rich Big Ten hardwood rivalries that automatically warrant corporate sponsor-approved commemoration, Iowa-Maryland is at or near the top of the list. Said no one.

if you’re not a figure skating fan you and you watch the ice dance, you’re like “no idea how this works, kinda feels like the scoring is based off vibes” Then you go online and all the figure skating fans are like “oh yeah we have no idea how this is scored and it seems to be manly based off vibes”

I'm old enough to remember the existence of Elizabeth Warren, presidential candidate

Yeah. Hey, do you happen to know anyone who is in a position of power, maybe someone in a powerful role in the Senate, who can do something about all that?

It's one thing to get a "no true bill." It's quite another to get *shut out* in the grand jury.

One problem with the 2nd paragraph here (that I've seen in other articles along these lines). The House is not a continuing body, and Speaker Johnson doesn't carry over as the House speaker when the new Congress is seated in Jan 2027. They have to elect a new speaker before they can do anything

We watched curling for FIVE DAYS and look what happens.

okay who recently bought a croix jersey???? this is your fault

the only thing I can think of is the Spirit were unable to replicate the dynamic between her and Sarr - her stats were down from last season and she’s trying to break into the NT, so maybe she decided she needs a new challenge to get her there

Spirit President of Soccer Operations Haley Carter says the trade came “after conversations about her desire to explore development opportunities in a different environment.”

Washington Spirit announces it has traded midfielder Croix Bethune to KC Current for club-record $100k in allocation funds and $900k in transfer threshold funds, “the third-largest return in NWSL history and a top 10 global transfer.”

live look at me at my desk #nwsl

Been hearing this over the past couple of days, but not the details Sandra has. Staggering NWSL move.

wait wait wait and she ain't even gonna be playing with hutton cause they shipped her to bay of all places?? the hell is going on!!

pardon me while i crash tf out

Washington Spirit trading away Croix Bethune? Rookie of the year and Midfielder of the Year Croix Bethune? To a RIVAL TEAM? The article says Croix requested the trade ... I can respect that but also really makes me wonder/worry what was going down at The Spirit that made her want to leave?

The cat videos will continue until morale improves

Kevin Martin letting out a very prolonged and very Canadian "OHHH NOOOOOO" when the Czechs blew that last stone of the 8th end was hilarious

quite literally did the 99 luftballons thing

I now am left genuinely wondering who would come out looking worse in a scenario in which a Democratic Member of Congress, rather than posing a question to Pam Bondi, just says, "I have no questions for you. Go fuck yourself, dumbass."

...how on earth do you even do this??? #wmata

final 5 sleds going now if you wanna tune in

cracking up at the German luge pair of Tobias and Tobias (yes it is a ridiculously common name)

OH SNAP

OLYMPIC RECORD for America's Jordan Stolz, the best speedskater in the world. One gold medal down, three races to go for Stolz

The El Paso incident is yet another example that nothing said by this administration should ever be taken at face value

this picture would get you fired in any even moderately functioning government

SB 388, ‘Faith in Housing’ aka Yes In God’s Backyard, just passed the senate 🎉

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

lmaooooooo

dear peace monks, you don’t know me but DO NOT GET ON THAT BUS

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Infosec used to be serious

Wendy lives in Clarke County and would have been a _strong_ candidate for the current 6th, but with Clarke and Frederick being (re)drawn into the 10th this is unsurprising :(

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

I like how NBC just puts Leigh Diffey (a career motorsports commentator before he joined them) on anything that involves going fast now track and field? yep! rowing? yep! luge and skeleton! yep!!!

An Only-at-the-Olympics Headline: "French biathlete guilty of fraud wins gold while scammed teammate comes 80th"

The French Biathlete Who Thieved Her Teammate's Credit Card: first in the 15km, wins gold The French Biathlete Who Was Thieved: 80th (out of 90) The Olympics!

THE OLYMPICS OF BIATHLON MESS CONTINUES GOLD MEDAL FOR THE WOMAN WHO STOLE HER TEAMMATE'S CREDIT CARDS

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump. A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges. Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

Spending this fine morning watching the Olympic women's 15km biathlon, which is a wild enough sport before you even get to the fact that the French Biathlete Who Thieved Her Teammate's Credit Card and the French Biathlete Whose Credit Card Was Thieved are competing against each other

Wait, collaboration between the Road Rules guy turned lobbyist and the Fox News weekend host are not technocratic and correct like as if they were done by career government officials. Huh, shocking!
