Happy to announce I’ve joined the Board of Directors for @matternews.bsky.social Y’all should go check out all the great work, like this recent article about a school district secretly using money on an unproven AI weapons detection system. matternews.org/community/ai...

As they say, it’s a game of foot and asses.

“So, if government officials, elected officials are getting more clued into the types of data Flock gathers and maintains, and if it’s the kind of thing that is giving them pause, then don’t renew the contracts.” matternews.org/community/po...

This is my calling.

The Telemundo reaction to Elanga's backheel is what I wanted (r @bighoney69.bsky.social)

An Alabama “don’t tread on me” vanity plate that says what I presume is “storming.” This dude was definitely at January 6.

Pride kickoff party at @awolbar.bsky.social come see me!

Tori Penso is currently officiating a men’s World Cup game. I interviewed her way back in 2021 about her journey as a female ref. www.npsl.com/14952/

Somehow it's already time to start planning year-end fundraising for Matter, beginning with lining up Community Match Partners, which is always a challenge but also essential. If you know any businesses/foundations/individuals that might support our work drop the name in the replies. Thanks, all.

Cucho's mano-a-mano on the right sideline, his keep-in, his sublime cross ... gottdam, that was something. #Crew96

I love that these names are back to back in the court filings (OSU professor assault case) Cc: @rooster.info

I need it.

Me- “there’s less than a minute left. So we’ll definitely win. They can’t score two goals in under a minute.” My 8 year old- “but we can score another goal in under a minute.” Hell. Yes. #usmnt

This is incredible. Goats, are they scabs? More at 11. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQWa...

Inspired by Dan’s muscles, good lord. Happy Thirsty Thursday and Happy Pride

I live next to a military base and pokemon go recently added poke stops to every single street corner. I thought it was odd, and welp.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

New life goal is to get someone to finish so hard a squad is called.

The coming CML United vote is set to take place amid what Columbus City Council member Rob Dorans called "some of the most egregious union busting" he has ever witnessed during a weekend rally at Franklin Park Amphitheater. matternews.org/community/ne...

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

Based on the last time the Crew traded a player to LAFC, I can only assume this means a lifetime ban is incoming.

World Cup ready (don’t blame me, blame USMNT for not selling a jersey crop top)

Gonna get a lot of mileage out of this screenshot.

"a goofy movie": a humble title. why it's not even necessarily "the" goofy movie. we simply, respectfully offer you this story for your consideration "doug's 1st movie": the hubris of icarus. the unbridled audacity to imply that this is only the 1st chapter of the Doug Cinematic Universe. pathetic

Turning the ball over *and* missing the final shot. Take the man’s phone away, he doesn’t need to see the internet for a few months.

RIP to the Ripper. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When the post is one character too long and you have to get rid of the Oxford comma…

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

The agent who booked the artists for the Trump state fair event is named Jeff Epstein. I can't.

Look man I love the Rooster more than anyone and this is what we call an unforced error.

wasn’t expecting to read this in the dispatch today

May 31/June 1. Happy Pride (someone buy my windex)

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

Soon.

Coworker keeps interrupting me. Can’t get anything done.

The Samurai Blue were presented with original art by One Piece author Eiichiro Oda and blue straw hats before today's training session. "ONE PIECE will never make fun of the national team's dream, because we believe in a day when Japan will become king of the world."

Roses are red Why’s my dick feel funny? www.thedailybeast.com/brad-pitt-su...

“And these questions are hard enough without trying to talk to a brick wall. … And that secrecy concerns me, just for a number of democratic process reasons, but also because you can’t ask critical questions about how this thing works if you don’t even know that it’s in place.”

This is very funny because I have a friend who got the license plate CVNTY approved

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Googled if Sunderland has ever made the champions league before. AI summary naturally gave me the wrong answer. They didn’t make it this year (and never have before).

This is the funniest injury report I’ve ever seen. Leg. Leg. Leg. Leg. @mattdoyle.bsky.social can I get an investigative piece on NYCFC’s leg epidemic?

IT’S BEEN 16 YEARS 😮‍💨 Columbus Crew are back in the semifinals for the first time since 2010!

One of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Columbus, get out and see this.

wnba accounts are always like “foul or no? 👀” and it’s a slow motion up-close video of Caitlin Clark flopping to her own ponytail hitting her in the face

Do they give out MacArthur genius grants for posting?

Let all pretense that this is about “law” die. The Supreme Court is a group of partisan actors intervening on behalf of the political party they support and against the will of the voters. It is the obligation of the next Congress that is committed to the Constitution to reconstruct the rogue SCOTUS

I took this photo and a puff of air immediately blew into my eye

Told a guy at the bar I’m 36 and he said “no way, what are you, 18 in both genders?” And that’s a banger of a line.
