Unpopular opinion: Lockdown era AEW was peak AEW era.

Nature is healing…

Someone told us this week we shouldn’t bother with Bluesky. We protested. There’s a growing legion of soccer on the platform, we said 🤷🏼‍♂️. Help us prove them wrong. As thanks: Here’s recent work on our new stadium, Fort Wayne FC Park, which will have capacity of more than 9,000. FortWayneFC.com.

"I didn't go to [my team's] home playoff game because I didn't think a first round game was very important" is maybe one of the most shocking things I've heard as a fan.

This is art.

“Like the polar ice caps, we have witnessed Your Mom shrinking from outer space,” Dr. Sykes said. “Unfortunately, there were some downsides, too: Several grocery stores went out of business, and next year’s congressional maps are in flux now that Your Mom fits in a single zip code.”

Great stuff from Jon, who spoke with @switchbacksfc.bsky.social defenders Duke Lacroix and Garven Metusala for the piece. It would be tremendous to see Les Grenadiers at next year's World Cup.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

A note for the folding Dems… ask a Blue Dog Democrat how well keeping the public option out of the ACA in 2009 did for their career. (If you can find one)

Burn the whole thing down.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

NEW: North Carolina FC became a model of mid-market operation in the U.S. lower divisions. On Tuesday, they joined a lengthy list of former clubs. On the former Carolina RailHawks, and questions about the USL's plan to add more jeopardy to its ecosystem. jeffrueter.substack.com/p/so-long-sw...

Not thrilled about this. @switchbacksfc.bsky.social www.facebook.com/share/p/1ABu...

A modern great of lower division U.S. soccer, one of the final active players with ties to the NASL. Anyone else feeling old?

When you finally run out of fucks to give.

Elián González, Trump, and What Happened to “True Conservatism”

Tonight's #USL-C regular season contest between the Charleston Battery and @switchbacksfc.bsky.social was abandoned at halftime due to unplayable conditions. The game will be replayed in full on Monday, Oct. 13. Kickoff TBD. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

Searching around to see what happens when a USL game is abandoned at halftime (like @switchbacksfc.bsky.social at Charleston Battery, and all I can find is nothing. Just a giant pile of nothing. Anyone know? @njemurray.bsky.social?

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

I used Dr. Bronners peppermint soap on my bits and it was like snowmobiling pussy-first through a tundra

Great afternoon volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa with my #USL colleagues. Lots of happy dogs taken for walks, even little Bongo, who's recovering from a bump on his head. Find out more about the great work HSoT does and find your next furry buddy -> humanesocietytampa.org

It's that time for our PLAYOFF PUSH!! We need all the energy at Weidner Field for the last two matches of the regular season 🔥 #beCOS #Switchbacksfc #coloradosprings

zuckerberg trying for John Wick this Halloween but ending up more ghislaine maxwell

Seeing how this @switchbacksfc.bsky.social season has gone, it makes me more appreciative of how last season ended. We used up 2 seasons of magic last year.

She nails it 🔥 You’ve been silent about school shootings, but now you have something to say about Charlie Kirk being a good dude? Friendship over.

NBC Sports 4K test card goes hard

Omg lol

Week 28 is in the books, so where does your club land in my USL power rank? I’m diving into all 24 clubs, featuring: 🔵 Hadji Barry and red-hot Hartford 🌳 The Peter Wilson effect ⚓️ RIFC’s massive bubble win www.backheeled.com/usl-champion...

50 players from across the #USL-C, #USL-1 and #USL-2 have been called up for national team duty this year, across 22 countries, primarily in Concacaf. World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup, Nations League, they're competing and making an impact. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

BREAKING: Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison for coup plot

Ok, I'm going to be the bitch to go there. I don't remember the felon saying anything like this about any of the other shooting victims in this country, including the children who were recently gunned down in a church at their school.

@switchbacksfc.bsky.social's Garven Metusala and Duke Lacroix both in the starting lineup for Haiti as they visit Costa Rica in @concacaf.bsky.social #WCQ at 10 p.m. ET on Paramount+.

JD’s mom was not getting drugs from cartels, she was a nurse who was stealing painkillers from her patients. Her patients suffered and she got high. As a medical professional, I will tell you the lowest life form is someone who steals drugs from their patients. Zero sympathy for JD or his mom.

You know, I kind of get why Bsky use has been slowing down, b/c I myself am trying to be ~*online*~ less these days. But it kind of sucks as a signal to orgs like, say, my USL club that they don’t need to migrate over here from Twitter after all, just when BSky’s become most useful w/ notifications.

Looking at you @switchbacksfc.bsky.social

@switchbacksfc.bsky.social haven't been the fastest starters in the #USL-C this season. But, as defender Akeem Ward said, "It's not about how you start. It's about how you finish." An impressive second half engineered a vital victory against Monterey Bay. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

@switchbacksfc.bsky.social's Duke Lacroix is in the starting lineup for Haiti in its #WCQ opener against Honduras. Check out his story, in his words, then stream the game live and free on @golazoamerica.bsky.social at 8 p.m. ET. #USL-C

Timely reminder from the USL Players Association that the Championship’s CBA expires on 12/31. Undoubtedly a pivotal contract impending as the USL looks to enact a pro/rel system. Also “gearing up to start (bargaining talks) in the USL Super League,” whose second season kicked off last week.

I’m just realized @nicollewallace.bsky.social shirt says smile… and it worked. I smiled. ☺️.

It's groundhog day in the US again.

It’s actually been about 7 hours and 15 days since that guy threw a sandwich at law enforcement.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

"We wanted to affect the community, and we wanted to make a difference and that’s what we’re doing, and that’s what you're seeing." At the @tampabayrowdies.bsky.social' Original Era night, the impact the club's early players made on the region was on display. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...
