“sometimes you’re ill-prepared. Accept that, eat shit, and do better next time” has done more for me than any cutthroat succeed-at-all-costs messaging ever did

unironically as part of project 2029 or whatever we should plan a total redo of the 250 celebrations but extra woke. it can even overlap with The Trials

Death to ultimate team, I can not imagine for the life of me the appeal of that mode I skipped 26 and looks like I’m skipping 27

what a quality free agent fantasy pickup this was for me

Quite the stain on our history that we now have a prolonged period of admitting zero (0) genuine refugees and instead slapping the label "refugee" on the apartheidists we are importing because they remind a single rich white nationalist of his childhood.

the now-decades-long saga of tubman on the $20 bill is a great, if somewhat unimportant and symbolic, example of the democrats' lack of ability to Just Do Stuff

are the 2026 nats good? are they fun to watch? they at least keep everything interesting…

It’s true that at present the insider-trading Democrats won’t do anything about it. The answer to that is not “nothing will ever change” but “we need to replace all of them too.” if your only answer is to say “nothing will ever change,” hey that’s what they say, too. Good job joining up with them.

If someone is expressing a desire for something that is wrong and twisted to improve, coming in to say “nothing is going to happen” is like pooping in a public fountain. It may result in a little bit of relief for you in the moment, but now we’ve got a turd in the fountain. Thanks for nothing.

tfw you’ve just finished pissing on jefferson davis’ grave

in all honesty, Belgium shouldn't participate in this sham appeals process that is clearly being made up on the fly to provide a false appearance of fairness. i'll take it back if they win the appeal but i'm not holding my breath

US looks increasingly like a captured petro island in the world economy: "You wouldn't know it if you live in the USA or consume US media and politics, but the fight between EVs & ICEs is basically over...ALL the growth globally is in EVs" Polycrisis Podcast open.spotify.com/show/78cVf8D...

worst of all, this appears to have unified the Belgian team, just when I was so close to turning the Dutch-speaking ones and the French-speaking ones against each other

In the “everything is college football” category of this story: Billable hours stay undefeated

Kind of wondered what it be like to be a Ohio State fan

“20+ years of Dan Snyder bullshit makes one really good at finding really good hopium/copium.” god some of worlds best philosophers are all hidden (quarantined?) in r/nfceastmemewar

I love how with so many foods/drinks we get the exact same "it's bad for you, wait no it's actually good for you, shit idk just do everything in moderation" routine.

Minimum wage job: takes training to do at all quickly and without losing a finger Medium wage job: takes training to do at all quickly without making a million dollar mistake CEO: doesn't need to be literate, can burn $70 billion on any stupid idea he wants, infinite ketamine

UEFA rn:

All of a sudden we love birthright citizenship I guess

Real "coach who regularly has a dog play because there 'is no rule against it' mad that opponent is bringing a team of dogs" energy from uefa here.

OK sure, great, but I don't that helps much. He's 80 years old, woefully out of shape, and probably doesn't even know the rules.

once every 4 years the world collectively smokes the entire carton

it’s *the* greatest sporting event in the universe and by the end of it i do not want to think about soccer til the next election cycle

Crazy thing is a Mexican Baguette would go crazy in any country not England.

The Naval Academy enrolled women 50 years ago. It’s not celebrating.

I decided to translate this and turn it into a needlepoint chart

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Nation Turns 250 Despite Presence Of Irish https://theonion.com/nation-turns-250-despite-presence-of-irish/

@stevengodfrey.bsky.social i’ve never felt more seen as a dc sports fan than i did in yesterday’s phantom island

i was in maryland through high school, spend college in south carolina, and have been in texas ever since. and i’m about to move states again. i don’t really feel like i have a home state anymore

“…I believe that not one above whom it then waved but blessed his God that he was loyal to it, and whose heart did not swell with pride towards it, as the emblem of the Republic before that treason’s flaunting rag in front.” I will never not feel a catch in my throat when I read those words.

Just after the battle of Gettysburg, Lt. Frank Haskell of Wisconsin set down his memories of the fight as he had witnessed it from his perspective as a division commander’s aide de camp. I like to revisit it every year because of the way Haskell uses his words to paint a vivid picture for the reader

most irritating part of "how can you root for the US did you know we are bad" is why the fuck do you think I got here without thinking about all this and coming to my own peace with it why do I have to be in the slow lane with you, ever you missed this meeting I'm not giving you my notes
