If anything, everything is worse (and stupider) than even I would have imagined. Again: not a surprise, but still constantly shocking.

Absolutely agree

Couple more months of this shit and Miami gets the World Cup Final

Looking forward to May, when I'll start paying attention again

Um, are we going to be able to get packages from Europe again, or is that just permanently over?

I've given Alexi Lalas so much latitude just for being in this photo

But not the worst way

the irony here is that Trump spends the entire clip talking about Chicago, which will not be hosting any World Cup games

cool, cool

impressive as fuck

I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Always fun to see

"Defined by"? I'm going with "wasted by"

Nooooooooo Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt

“An American attack on a fentanyl lab might make Mr. Trump look strong before his base. But the vast networks of organized crime, and the U.S. drug market that keeps them going, can’t be so easily blown away,” Ioan Grillo writes.

I have *never* seen anything like this, in any sport

Hmm. Sounds bad. But we can no longer trust what the government says, so

My formative experience with crime is when I tracked a stolen iPhone to a house when photos showed up in my stream with meta data intact. I gave the address to the police and they couldn’t have been less interested in doing anything with that information.

The hardest of hardcore from El Kartel de Juarez calmly, politely invaded Times Square

Miami would like to continue with the fraud, thank you

Hating on Tom Brady remains good fun. But also the quickest I've ever dropped a documentary. Three sentences into the intro, Brady asks if there's another team in Birmingham, and then asks if that team is in the Premier League. And I'm like, Am I caught up on Drive to Survive?

It is kind of shocking how rapidly things are going, and we all have to do stuff like send emails, buy groceries and do laundry like it's not

I wish the best to the couple I saw get engaged tonight on the beach in Surfside. Candles, flowers, music, photographers - the works. But I gotta say having the violinist launch into the love theme from Titanic is not the greatest omen

Sweet. "The U.S. Navy will permanently cut its stream of data from three weather satellites essential to hurricane forecasters this Thursday, with the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season just weeks away." michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/navy-set-t...

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

"The only reason these serial killers’ names don’t ring in the ear with the horror of Jeffrey Dahmer’s and Ed Gein’s is because they have not killed or eaten anyone. But we’d better keep them behind bars to be safe. They could start at any time!" www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Officially adding this to my short list of conspiracies I am inclined to believe. Also on the list: - George W. Bush wore a wire in a 2004 debate. - Michael Reinoehl was murdered

as with many things, there is a relevant 20 year old @thisamericanlife.org story for this www.thisamericanlife.org/293/a-little...

God Bless America hits different under fascism

To be filed under "Headlines You Never Thought You'd Write": "Donald Trump keeps FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself"

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Does Infantino think *everybody* likes fascist dictators as much as he does?

When walking across the pitch leaves you clearly winded

We need more shots of Trump looking miserable at a soccer match.

This singalong is just for a commercial on the big screen

Hey Doral Toyota, saw your new commercial. Any thoughts on *why* we are living "in a world that feels unpredictable?" A world, you assert, "where everything can change in an instant?" Any context? Anything happen in, say, the past six months to cause this instability? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEeQ...

Mexico deserves to lose for wearing black uniforms

apart from its inherent qualities as a comic strip, I really appreciate that Watterson resisted the urge to franchise and merchandise C&H. There's no animated movie, no tv show, no line of toys, no ipad game. it exists in its entirety as a comic strip written and drawn entirely by one man.

I’m not sure how we host the World Cup or the Olympics without countries boycotting. Julio César Chávez Jr. arrested by ICE 4 days after Jake Paul loss

A for-profit detention camp in which migrant children were detained in tents had to be abandoned in Homestead in 2019 due to a hurricane approaching Florida. If a regular summer rain is causing this new Everglades detention camp to flood, then this place is not equipped to handle storms.

Thank you FIFA for finally answering the question of “what if the team that won the Champions League last month played the team currently in sixth place in the MLS’ Eastern Conference”

"Emotions explode at the Colosseum of Chaos!!!!!!!"

When I first heard this song was coming I was very worried that it would be cringe. But it's alright www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUXx...

I'd expected the worst. It's worse than I'd expected
