Who gave the halftime talk at Anfield? My money is on Virgil. The Scousers came out swinging - I just hope they don't sag back. #lfc

Is there somewhere we can go to live under a matriarchy? This patriarchal experiment has gone on way too long and has proved the experiment a failure.

Congrats to Rick Woldenberg of Learning Resources for challenging DJT's tariffs all the way to SCOTUS! I think it's time to buy some early Christmas presents. www.learningresources.com

Why would we care if another Trump-supporting billionaire takes his company offshore? Paulsen's Conn and Selmer make affordable entry level music instruments that many young music students use. Another blow to music education, that builds students' brains. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If anyone needed yet another reason to skip the World Cup in the United States, here is what to expect from the Trump administration: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Here is one of our favorite tray bake recipes. It features halved Brussels sprouts, pierogi, and kimchi. Delicious, but not for those on low salt diets! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021...

Fenway Sports Group has achieved a major goal. As a supporter, I hope this means they don't pinch pennies too much going forward. www.bbd.com/sport/footba...

Walking the family dog just now, we joined local high school students marching in an impromptu protest against ICE. And we're not in a big city already occupied by the thugs. These kids have the right stuff.

Dolly Parton is responsible for more than 304 million books in children's hands. She offers a hand up instead of telling folks to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Anyone else had issues with HSA Bank, aka Webster Bank? Trying to close that account for 30 days. Last night the rep kept me on hold for 60 minutes, until the automated answering came back. Now I'm locked out of online access. If I didn't know better, I'd say they were illegally keeping my money.

Dear Politicians, PLEASE do not use "thoughts and prayers" when commenting on the latest gun slaughter . It has lost its meaning and is code for we are powerless to help. We are sick to death of you not finding a way to ban assault weapons and strengthen gun laws. Sincerely, Majority of Americans

FIFA NY CEO on TalkSport Radio is blowing so much smoke about how safe and secure the upcoming World Cup will be here in the US. You realize that DJT and his minions are actively deporting brown and black people, right? Unless your team is lily white, you and your supporters are not safe here.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Around 300 citizens gathered in Decatur, Illinois for the October 18th No Kings protest. The drivers were mostly supportive, with the occasional coal roller providing laughter. @repmarymiller.bsky.social was nowhere to be seen, as usual.

The museums are being shutdown. Are we great yet? Everyone’s being fired. Are we great yet? Food is rotting in our fields. Are we great yet? The market’s crashing greatly. Diseases are now running rampant. At what point aren’t we great? Our military’s in line at food banks. So super great.

Our first sunflower! It was about 12' tall and the 12" ruler wasn't long enough to measure across. The seeds are delicious as is, but now I'm seeing people roast the whole sunflower head. Is it the way to go? #sunflowers #gardening #harvest

For anyone who needs to keep this info. You have support!

I'd love to watch the US Open women's semis match tonight, but Sabalenka screaming almost to the second Pegula hits the return is gamesmanship. I don't know why that's allowed. When one of her shots goes in the net, the scream stops. It's a form of cheating. But it's Cliff Drysdale's last call.

Wordle 1,535 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 First time to get it on the first try! How much is that Powerball Lottery pot?

I will not shed a tear for this passing. Focus on the Family has done so much damage to diversity in this country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

As an Illinoisan, I'm curious to see how #ManU & #Tottenham deal with the wind at Soldier Field.

What a tragedy and what bravery by Emmett's mom, Mamie, to insist on having an open casket. Race Against Time by Jerry Mitchell @jmitchellnews.bsky.social is a great book for more on the quest to seek justice for those who were persecuted and unalived.

In the Women's Euros tournament, the English Lionesses have triumphed over Sweden on penalties 3-2. Winning ugly, but wow, what drama!

@megancnbc.bsky.social You crushed it! Great job!

Propaganda is just good marketing. Apparently, the USA wants to be the best in the world creating a false narrative. 🆘

This is huge! It was obvious to LFC ticket holders that they were being scapegoated for FIFA mistakes.

Champaign, IL Bad picture, but about 1000 strong, marching around Westside Park.

Watching @racingloufc.com and NC Courage on NWSL+ and the commentators are fabulous! Not yelling, following the action w/appropriate filler info - thank you someone for investing in women's professional sports. #NWSL #NWSL+

It's Still International Women's Day in my neighborhood.

I’m supporting the fundraiser on GoFundMe for Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl, the OB/Gyn who was forcibly removed by unmarked security from an Idaho GOP town hall. She was heckling (covered by the 1st Amendment) and removed by Lear Asset Management men with no identification on their clothes. So it begins.

Is the US Women's Soccer team about to play in the She Believes Cup and it's not televised in English, even on the $$ streaming services? I do speak Spanish, but not well enough to follow the announcer's pace. Is this really how US Soccer wants to grow the game, behind paywalls/language barriers?

Jude Bellingham is my hero today! Watching Real Madrid come back to beat Man City has been a joy!

I'm happy to promote women in the military!

@talksport.com So Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is a great interview. Totally wouldn't accept Andy's guff!

My dad watching the Weather Channel for hours as snow and ice grip the South and fires envelope another area of LA is my generation's equivalent of doom scrolling.

Proud to be an Illinoisan!
