Chris Richards is the easiest USMNT player to root for (other than being a defender). In a team with some guys whose actions and beliefs can let you down, Richards is there as a thoroughly solid dude in every way. He also understands the beauty of America

Watching Oscar Cluff hit the offensive glass is legitimately mesmerizing

What's it like unionizing your Starbucks? Nick, a shift supervisor in Missouri, shares their store's story about what motivated them to get organized and create the change they wanted to see at work!

Cursive defenders I cannot list the number of ways in which I do not fucking care

You fucking loser

Ok … cool … this is promising … wait HOW MUCH?

Until they get rid of the draft, nothing will meaningfully change.

You know, once a jury has made its decision you are extremely justified in dropping the "allegedly"

Listening to the Russian Revolution series of Revolutions again and boy it sure is interesting how often the insistence of Nicholas and Alexandra that the urban populations weren’t real Russians and their protests didn’t represent the actual people keeps coming up

Dying empire embroiled in a quagmire of its own making attempts outlandish conquest to restore faith

it is fascinating to watch this bill all come due at once. pickle-brained Discourse Types convinced themselves she had mass appeal because they personally liked her brand of bullshit and never understood that the propaganda that works on them is not broadly appealing.

There are estimates that place the number of unique books in the world in the neighborhood of 150 million. 150 million different books, stories, worlds, characters. Surely you can find something other than Harry Potter to read and enjoy.

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

"If being political is what it takes to bring Gael home, or to get Deiver to his spelling bee, Accurso said, then her conscience leaves her no other choice." Read my story on her efforts here: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hell yeah ✊

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

seeing various pics of ICE at airports and they don't seem to be wearing their face masks which is weird because I was told it was an absolute security necessity for them to conceal their identities

You cannot go on vacation without having to receive permission both tacit and explicit from roughly 50 feds every step you take along the way. It’s been good practice for us for all of this. To inhabit a place where the law isn’t real for any other purpose but the potential for punishment.

Spending half your life promoting the child-molesting Duggar family will tend to leave that stain on you.

Ban replay

“Grinding” is not culture.

Fuuuuuck noooooooooooo

Watching the tourney brought this skeet to mind. I miss having joy about the things I love.

Folks - who knows where I can find a printable bracket with game times?

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

Replace the turf tho

BUILD A BONFIRE, BUILD A BONFIRE 🎶

Assists in this tie between Sounders and Whitecaps: Tacoma Defiance loanee Peter Kingston: 2 Tomas Muller: 0

It always shocks me how much people complain when the Sounders approach games like this. They’re good at it! They will make you bash your heads against a wall for the entire game and then put you down the second you fall asleep even a little bit!

Could not believe we were bringing on Kingston to close this out.

Sounders doing a pretty great job of staying organized and taking all the sting out of Vancouver.

Cannot believe that first miss was worth less than .8

The closest he will come to apologizing but pretty glaring that he is open about Israel trying to escalate

✊

Cannot believe how terrible this turf is in Spokane. Embarrassing for that stadium.

Snyder Brunell is a MENACE

Wasn’t sure what to expect from Jordan Kent, but I’m enjoying his enthusiasm. He’s having fun. Sports should be fun. You’re ok by me, Jordan.

Keep these posts coming that contextualize the $200 Billion ask for unfettered military murder in Iran.

this would have funded PBS for 400 years

men showing genuine affection for each other, celebrating something they did together, as a collective. let this be a model for masculinity, not the fake hardo military bullshit

Before 9/11, the thing that athletes representing America were proud of and loved about our country was our diversity of thought, religion, ethnicities. Even conservatives said these were good things in the 90s. But that's woke now I guess.

I love that Dickie V is still so full of wondrous joy. Sports broadcasting needs about 2000% more of that.

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

I want to make this clear: this was almost certainly part of a policy that hit thousands of people, just because of their countries of origin, as part of a “pause” that no one has mentioned restarting yet. bsky.app/profile/dara...

As someone who watched Jamie Moyer for years, this is indisputable.

The Dem talking points are so exhausting. How about just: “This is illegal and wrong. Just like our war in Iran is illegal and wrong. And I’m against things that are illegal and wrong.” It doesn’t have to be framed against cost of living to be bad, ffs.
