Spent the day shuttling kids from one activity to the next, and was reminded for the 10,000th time that we have designed Atlanta for the sole purpose of moving cars through it, and we're also fucking horrible at moving cars through it. #atl Anyway, here's a link bookshop.org/p/books/life...

Can't remember the last time I stopped watching before the final whistle. I'll note it down somewhere, I guess, Wolves away is the one that broke me. At least I missed whatever crap led to their second. #AVFC

Alysson has put in more effort in four minutes than most of the squad has all night. #AVFC

This is brutal. One of these teams might be relegated by the end of March, and if no one one told you which you would rightly assume it's Villa. What's the last good game we played? Newcastle away? How about two good games in a row? Sometime in December, I suppose. #AVFC

We're just so easy to play against right now. Pack the midfield, don't let Rogers get on the ball. That's it. #AVFC

Fuckin christ. I know it's good to be generous but let's not go overboard. #AVFC

Buendia wearing his wooden boots tonight. #AVFC

Destroying media institutions and a 250 year old country because you’re so mad you look like the Hardly Boys

Maybe I'm not a reasonably smart person like Dr. Robert Brewer (there's one against nominative determinism, BTW) but how would allowing breweries to sell beer directly to bars mean more drinking or more drunk driving? Cut out the middleman and suddenly bars are giving customers local beer for free?

Or is it? That's just what he asked us to call him. His name could be Isaac, or Jacob, or Dave. (It's probably Dave.)

Someone please make sure you get Griezmann's unguarded thoughts on what it's like to move to Orlando after spending your entire adult life in San Sebastian, Barcelona and Madrid

First 11 for Wolves: Martinez Cash Konsa Pau Maatsen Onana Luiz Sancho Barkley Rogers Abraham Has to be, right? The only possible adjustment that would make even a speck of sense to me would be Watkins on instead of Barkley, to play 2 up top. Depth and form issues don't allow anything else. #AVFC

Whatever we're paying Tielemans, apparently it should be about 10 times more #AVFC

How does Watkins not even swing at that? Awful showing. Barkley, Sancho and Tammy on, please. Replace the whole front line. #AVFC

If we can get enough people to tell him he's out of shape, he'll lose his mind, quit his job and go on a starvation diet. If you see him out, yell some shit at him. "There goes Love Handles Hegseth!" "Hey, it's the Secretary of Spare Tires!" etc

You can't eliminate religion from politics; people are religious and politics is people. Whatever your beliefs, we're fighting against a right wing movement that is deeply immoral. It's silly to sideline people who share your morals just because they have a Biblical basis and yours is humanistic.

I did this and as I was working through our remaining fixtures, after going through Chelsea, United and Liverpool's, I thought "shit, if these predictions bear out we may be hanging on to 6th by our fingernails." Then I went back to the top and we were still 3rd, two points ahead of United. #AVFC

Between the Bournemouth oddity and today's all timer of a shit show, I'm a little worried Digne has a head injury #AVFC

Haha Chris Kavanaugh having a wild one

I know Villa are strapped for cash, are we allowed to do a Go Fund Me to buy out Bailey's contract? #AVFC

Finally got around to watching the last Mission Impossible. I have this thing where it's hard to invest in stakes like "annihilating the whole planet," so it was cool to see MI try a new way of getting people to relate to all 7 billion people on Earth: give every single one of them a speaking part

As recently as 2015, this would have been the lead story in every paper and news broadcast for weeks, and the hearings on the hill would have been grueling and lengthy. Now it's like the fourth-dumbest thing that happened this week and will disappear by tomorrow like a fart wafting away in the wind.

Check this shit out motherfucker [I make every game start at the same time behind a paywall and fire @mattdoyle.bsky.social, it’s unclear what kind of move I was even trying to do]

Most of these guys have been in the team for years now. How is it possible they've never met before? #AVFC

Call an ambulance please, I'm having trouble breathing. I just heard a Spurs fan suggest they hire Klinsmann, and another guy said it's not a bad idea

Weird that this is framed as a smart strategy for Arsenal, and not an unsustainable fluke. #AVFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

I've been an Ollie Watkins partisan for years now, but he looks completely done. "Lost a yard of pace" might be overly generous. #avfc

Don't push that button, it makes free beer

I'm thrilled Villa got out of the Duran situation when they did, and especially for the value they got. But I can't help feeling bad for him. He clearly gets terrible advice and isn't mature enough to think about the long term. The dad in me just wants to help him. #AVFC

"I won't do it and you can't make me." This woman has the emotional maturity of a toddler.

Maybe I'm crazy, but if Villa get the price down to ~20MM for Elliott I'd do that deal. He has some clear limitations in size & pace, but there's a player there, and one Unai can get a tune out of. Basically, show him all of Buendia's actions this season and tell him "this is what you can be" #AVFC

Liverpool signing Jérémy Jacquet for 55MM. If I'm not mistaken that would be a club record at Villa. It's the fourth-highest fee Liverpool have paid in the last eight months, and about 12% of their total spend over the same period. Quite the level playing field! #AVFC

Melania (2026)

I kept track on my phone, the ball was out of play for over two minutes of the 10 added. I know we do it too, so I don't say this to slight Brentford. Time wasting is a scourge on the game. #AVFC

I hate the long throw trend. I get it's effective but I don't watch to see the ball not in play. Put a time limit on throws or something. #avfc

Should be what, 12 minutes added? #AVFC

I swear we concede within minutes every time we go up a man. Bizarre. Awful goal to give up. Brentford will sit very deep in the second half. Need to score early and make them come out. I'd like to see Onana on for Bogarde here. I like Lamar but he doesn't have the on-ball skill for this game.

Come on Villa. They may not be PSG but they're still professionals. I know the game doesn't matter that much but you have to play at least passable football. #AVFC

If any non-propaganda outlet journalist ever gets to interview him again, I propose the first question: "You're very open about your religion. Do you believe in hell?" Nod thoughtfully at whatever answer you get, and then. "No follow up. Just curious."

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths. Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power. Fire Stephen Miller.

Who could have foreseen that this "just doing an intellectual exercise here, it's an interesting question to think about" guy would turn to specific advocacy when given an opportunity? Just another self-styled Free Thinker groveling for attention from His Royal Highness

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

@ossoff.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov @repnikema.bsky.social Smell that? It's blood in the water. The heroic people of MN have given you an opening. Bovino might be out & Noem right behind him. This is the time to apply pressure. Don't rest until Stephen Miller is out of the government. Homan too.

Hey Siri, show me the 3rd most unappealing panel discussion ever

Cool Airbnb commercial, kind of implying that Airbnbs have surveillance cameras near the beds, a thing I'm always a little paranoid about

Who's "we," you thickheaded asshole? Your district is four hours away. Mind your business, and keep minding it all the way over to wherever it is you go when you fuck off forever. #atl

Very good first half. Need to marshal the wings a bit better but we've handled them well overall, and created a ton of danger offensively. I don't think anything from that half will be in Watkins' career retrospective, though 😬 #AVFC #UTV

Come on Sancho, how many chances are you going to get? We should be 2 or 3 up at this point #AVFC

Watkins hasn't trusted his left the entire season, and I'd love to know why. #AVFC
