Gonna call it. Barring a miracle, France 🇫🇷 won this easy peasy.

A reminder that DOGE cut the $15 million dollar funding for a USDA program whose entire purpose was to keep screwworm flies from crossing into Central America and the USA. So if you, your pets, your livestock suddenly become infested with flesh eating maggots, you can blame Elon Musk and Trump.

The Telemundo World Cup feed is better for two reasons: they don't air commercials during the hydration breaks, and they don't have Alexi Lalas. #WinWin

Paraguay 🇵🇾 is its own worst enemy. Every positive run of play is thwarted by an unforced bad pass.

100% agree!

Before blue dyes were prominent, many human cultures didn't have a word or conception for the color blue. The ocean was the color of wine. The sky was a pale white. No we see blue and say "aha! yes, that's sky blue or that's dark blue..."

My favorite matches so far in this Cup: USA going down a man and then winning 2-0, and plucky, technical, athletic Cabo Verde coming back not once but twice against the World Champions and the GOAT. Top class, Cabo Verde 🍻!!!

Erling Haaland Norway 🇳🇴 #WorldCupFIFA player gets Texas 🤠 treatment ❤️

This guy is a helluva goalkeeper...

Canada 🇨🇦 is out 😢. The kid says "they should've brought on Alphonso Davies and played him until extra time..." I can't argue with that. They had a lot of good moments in the Moroccan 🇲🇦 final third, but no finish. And then they got their pants pulled down on the break.

OMFG this is hilarious!

Canada 🇨🇦 gives the ball ⚽️ away cheaply with too many players pushed forward, Morocco 🇲🇦 then scores a 2nd on the fast break. 0-2 #CANvMAR

I just ate three plant-based hotdogs. They are amazing - made me just as sick as the regular ones! (Eat responsibly) 😆👇

Happy #IndependenceDay Eve! We're better than one serial abuser and his toxic, warped mentality. 'Best of' show for you today is from Monday, where I talk about the loss of Sunny. 3-5 PM on @am950radio.bsky.social 9 PM on @wcpt820am.bsky.social Late nights in Seattle, Alternative Talk 1150 KKNW!

Happy 4th of July to those who appreciate that America is a melting pot of many different flavors, not just angry, uneducated mayonnaise.

Right now, on the eve of July 4th, I've never felt more strangely empowered. I obviously have to either love my country, warts and all, wish for it a better future, OR just give up and leave. Anyhow, I've got to wake up tomorrow at 10AM (PDT) to root for my beloved Canadian brethren.

Two places I want to visit and spend my admittedly quite scarce tourist bucks: Côte d'Ivoire and Cabo Verde. Not that they need a dumbass sports fan from the States to show up and be a relentless dick about town. It's just that I've spent the past weeks googling these nations... and OMG beautiful!

Same here. 👍 🇺🇸

Also, once again, my love goes out to Algeria 🇩🇿, the birthplace and football training ground of my spiritual-mentor, Albert Camus. Really fucking great run, you deserve more.

Anyone else feel that given the USA team's performance thus far 🇺🇸⚽️, that the knockout rounds are actually quite immense and properly terrifying? On one hand, this is the first time in decades it's felt this way.

Cabo Verde made their fans very proud tonight. So inspiring...🫶 What an amazing run in this World Cup. ⚽️🇨🇻

I kind of love how "current events" (hint: the disgrace of Trump, his criminal cabal, the abject moral and degrading failure of MAGA, the ongoing foolish & dangerous obstinacy of Putin and Bibi) has framed the World Cup in terms of brotherly love and reconciliation in a way I've never seen before.

I just joined the Democratic Socialists of America. Fuck it. I have no qualms. Let's roll you motherfuckers!

If you will be touching off pyro, here's a few tips: always wear eye protection, keep a bucket of water nearby, keep kids away from your pyro stash, don't drink and pyro, do not mod or misuse your pyro, keep your audience safe, etc. This is common sense stuff, but people forget.

I'm a fan of object-oriented programming. Our brain is literally wired to conceive of discrete objects, agents, actors etc. A lot of critics of OOP are focused on the wrongheaded methods we use to teach OOP. No in practice we do not build employee databases starting with Person. We use SQL Lite.

The goals and sending-off won over countless American fans, but Flo Balogun's comments today should win over even more ❤️🤍💙 📸: @tombogert.bsky.social

My wife when I tell her that I just got an 11 AM tee time on Saturday, and she'll need to watch the kids. 😂

This is in Jackson, Mississippi. Not Seattle, or Los Angeles, or Manhattan, or San Francisco. This is in Jackson, Mississippi. The pendulum swings.

I think in order to be a halfway decent goalkeeper you've got to have laser sharp reflexes and a high pain tolerance.

Deroy Duarte 🇨🇻 nutmegs the defender 🇦🇷. Embarrassing. Score 1-1

While driving back from Washington (having procured some pyrotechnics), I finally got to try Face Plant, an award winning plant based burger restaurant. It was delicious, like, it tasted like In-n-Out Burger (although the fries were different). Next time I go, I want to try the milkshakes.

I’m a terrible Liberal Democratic Socialist Lefty. I like both fireworks and a good air show. I also read books so break even?

How is it that every American doesn’t get the same healthcare as their representatives? Why do we tolerate this? We all deserve so much more

Damned how transparent are their evil machinations!

I’m glad I’m not a gamer, like I need any more shit in this shit salad called right now.

Trump has made the USA a genuine shit hole country.

If you can sit there and watch the shit-ass flaming orange piece of dog shit wrapped in bacon and stuffed in an adult diaper… watch this criminal bring the USA into ruin without becoming DERANGED with anger… Then you might just be a fascist simp and a bootlicker. You might be in a cult. #TDS

Poverty, lack of education and right-wing propaganda have destroyed America. If China was able to bring 800 million citizens out of poverty, the US can afford to help 300 million live a decent life.

The LUNACY is growing exponentially...

This is another BINGO!!!

"Using a meme format, tell me you have such little intellectual capacity that you can't grasp actual history, nor can you parse current events outside of a very narrow narrative lazily spoon fed to you by the news outlets that validate your pitiful wish for any kind of personal greatness."

USMNT's victory tonight reminds me that we Americans 🇺🇸 can step up against all kinds of adversity, even when it comes from within. I don't think we have any kind of a chance against Belgium, but our next real victory will come in November.

Fuck. Well, this is going to be a tense 20 minutes plus stoppage… 😓
