Got a great birthday gift from my folks, a long sleeved Germany 2022 away jersey from Cult Kits!

Happy Birthday to me! My copy of @protagonistsoccer.bsky.social’s The Protagonist: Issue One came in the mail today!

My voice is finally almost back to normal after the Loons game last Saturday. 😂

I am now answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything years old.

I am often reminded of this David Graeber quote: “The ultimate, hidden truth of this world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.” Like, on a daily basis.

Had to go take a few more shots! 🤩

I’ve never seen auroras this red! It’s more vivid on camera, but still really vibrant to the naked eye.

This is a great jersey, but $200!? 😟 www.wildwear.com/original-iow...

Vangers only!

Wasn’t a bad way to end my day, to be honest.

The Replacements briefly covered "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on Oct 15, 1985, the first gig of a 5-night homestand at the 7th Street Entry, opening with a song off their new album "Tim"—"Lay It Down, Clown"—and this was next. Video image is the Entry + the Fitz m.youtube.com/watch?v=lN5n...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

50 years ago today.

MLS, what the heck are you doing with all these Monday night playoff games!? 😡

The problem with the Democratic Party/leadership, as I see it: the party has sold out to corporations and wealthy elites and now (and really for 20-30 years) either identify primarily with those constituencies or are too afraid to do anything that might endanger funding from those constituencies.

On this eve of fifty Novembers the winds still howl the bell still tolls. My breath turns heavy as we drift into the long cold night. The Fitzgerald stirs beneath. I harbor their echoes and cradle her steel. My waves bear the sorrow of all I have taken.

Might as well rename the Democratic Party the Spelunking Party at this point.

Just combed through my follows, which is good to do from time to time, and I was pleasantly surprised to not find very many unfollows.

Got done mulching the leaves just in time to beat the snow! 🍂🍁❄️

St. Pauli

Not a great first half. Do better, boys. COME ON YOU LOONS!!!

Petition to make We’re Coming Out by The Replacements the song the Loons take the field to. youtu.be/HKV8ltdel6Y?...

@mnufc.com fans, show me what you’re wearing for the blackout at Allianz Field today!

I once, briefly, employed a financial advisor. This man, who my wife and I paid to give us advice on how to better manage our money, said straight to my face, “well, you really just need to make more money.” This is the GOP mindset on affordability.

Love you, @dulwichhamletfc.bsky.social

This Angels jersey looks a lot like a Giants jersey.

This is fuckin’ creepy.

I have never and will never buy anything from Temu, but this ad keeps testing my resolve.

HSV are wearing special cancer awareness jerseys today for their match against Dortmund. #HSVBVB #Bundesliga

The thing you have to understand about the rich is that we’re not people to them.

Raise your hand if you’re going to go freeze your ass off at Allianz Field to cheer on #MNUFC on Saturday. 🙋🏼‍♂️

Watching the show Soulmates, and it’s just such an infuriating show.

Hegseth is just such a weird, desperate loser. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Nothing says, “tough,” like shouting about how cool and tough you are all the time. Very convincing.

I love this website, where “this person died” is swiftly followed up by “shame he was a racist motherfucker”

As a nation, we chose to do this. We can choose not to do this.

Happy Friday! Here’s your weekly reminder to set your #FantasyBundesliga lineup. My crew for #Bundesliga Matchday 10 is below, as well as my results from last week. Decided I needed to refresh my attack again.

Damn. Jose Miranda’s going to be one of the great “what if” prospects of the Baldelli era. Had a monster 2021 at AA-AAA, but then just fell off a cliff.

Wow, the sex pest singer is sad that the sex pest politician lost? Shocking.

This is pretty cool 😎 youtu.be/mauxtWbadcM?...

Why does the Oval Office need a sign? Did the President keep forgetting where it was!?

New reaction meme just dropped!

Woke up today to the news

I don’t have an municipal elections today, kind of feel left out.

It was! 🤣

Minnesota United kicks off in Seattle after my bedtime, so I’m saying it now, COME ON YOU LOONS! #MNUFC #SEAMIN #MLSCup

In the realm of unsurprising information, Alexi Lalas uses AI for the art for his podcast. 🙄

Ran into the first AI slop I’ve encountered at work, a graphic used in an annual training.

These fuckin’ posers put (at the very least) an Italian tank, a Spanish cargo plane (you can even see the roundel), and a Swedish fighter jet jet in their, “rah rah American military,” video. For fucks sake. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I knew Josh Sargent had trouble scoring, but I didn’t realize he was an incel too! #USMNT

It feels like they’re just copying the #Bundesliga schedule for the #DFBPokal.
