ah, yes, I see we are entering the 'football/soccer managers failing upwards' season.

Has Hank Azaria always been like this? Because yikes. His comments about Taylor Swift at the Knicks game are atrocious.

Mauricio Pochettino is definitely attempting to channel Russell Crowe circa 2010, yeah? #fifaworldcup #usapar

This US vs Paraguay game is twisting me up. On one hand, the fans chanting “USA” make me feel kinda gross. But on the other, I’m happy the US team isn’t embarrassing. It’s a strange time to be from the US. #fifaworldcup

Jacqui Oatley and Warren Barton were outstanding last night for the South Korea v Czechia game. More of that, please. #FIFAWorldCup

Man, I do not get DOGSO. It should be for intentional tripping or pulling or kicking or what have you. I mean, what is a defender supposed to do in those kinds of situations??? #mexico #Southafrica #mexrsa #FIFAWorldCup #FWC26

The water in Madrid needs to be tested. I mean, it's wild. Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid... 🫣 The folks running things in both clubs and their communication teams are just not serious people. 🤡 🤡 #laliga

Casually spoke of awnings with my husband the other day, one time, about a 20 second conversation, no interneting or what have you, and not long after I got a google survey asking me about awnings. I know this is commonplace now, but it's so incredibly invasive and unnerving.

I came for the booing and was blown away by the singing of the anthem. Avery Wilson was flippin' amazing. #knicks #spurs #game3

One day something advertised as a “cooling” pillow or bedding or whatever will actually live up to its promise. But today is unfortunately not that day.

The great thing about language is it evolves. Yes, the strict meaning of a word may be 'cured meats' or what have you, but sometimes—hear me out—things change. #amcopyediting #amediting #AmPassivelyCallingOutARandomPostISaw www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/wor...

Just saw a news story involving a commercial breeder of cockroaches and...I have questions. The biggest one being: What sort of life takes you down that path? 🪳

If for whatever reason you used to be a real piece of shit, and now you look back on that period of your life with regrets, that is good and laudable, and also, there might be some jobs that you shouldn't have. I do not find this to be especially complicated.

Shark attack, lol 1-0 Spain vs Iraq #FIFAWorldCup #VamosEspaña #ForcaBarca

If I were seated next to an incessant horn blower in a World Cup game, I would cheerily commit murder, and upon hearing the evidence, no jury would convict me. Spain vs Iraq #FIFAWorldCup #VamosEspaña #ForcaBarca

Spain Vs. Iraq Spanish Lineup: Joan Garcia Pedro Porro Laporte Jon Martín Grimaldo Bernal Gavi Olmo Ferran Álex B B Iglesias #FIFAWorldCup #VamosEspaña #ForcaBarca

That this is just normal behavior is obscene.

Graveyard, graveside, but grave site. #amcopyediting #amediting 🤔

I love how Jesse Plemons consistently shows up at Friday Night Lights cast events, and even performs as Crucifictorious. He really doesn't have to do any of that, having gone on to the career he's had, but he does, and it's amazing. www.instagram.com/reel/DY8bZIf...

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

Personal preference time: Knelt is superior to kneeled. Leapt is superior to leaped. And so on. We have "kept" (and only "kept" because "keeped" sounds ridiculous, yeah?) so why can't knelt, leapt, and the like be the go-to standard spelling in the US? #amediting #amcopyediting

How is this just so horrifyingly accurate?

This Julian Alvarez drama feels very Nico Williams-esque. Is there something wrong with Gonçalo Ramos from PSG? He fits the bill, is only 24, wants to leave, and would cost considerably less. And he is more impressive in his limited minutes at PSG than Alvarez. #Barca #FCBarcelona #LaLiga #Transfer

Someone who hates on everything, all the time, starting out at post with: "I'm rarely a hater." lol

It’s now World Cup build-up week Last time, there was fury about Qatar’s issues There’s now nothing even though it all applies to PSG The rhapsodising of Saturday and Pep’s exit shows how this all works And this is as Qatar change how football works www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Not being capable of celebrating a (lackluster, at that!) win without rioting and causing damage is an absolute failure of humanity across the board. #psg #ButAlsoSoManyOtherfanbases

Would actually love keeping the squad as is, never mind Julian Alvarez, and watch Flick engineer a line-up with Raphinha, Gordon, and Fermin causing a triangle of chaos up front, with Lamine just serving them up on a constant carousel. #forcabarca

If I were Bernardo Silva and was at all on the fence about Barca or Atlético Madrid...today would make it very clear that Atléti is not a serious club. Goodness. What a embarrassing crash out. Julian Alvarez being caught in the middle is rough if he's innocent in this whole debacle.

Okay, wow. I am *really* going to enjoy watching him play for Barca. #forcabarca #anthonyGordon Not #anthonyGordan www.skysports.com/football/vid...

We will never know or properly appreciate how many lives have been saved by librarians. The right book in the right hands at the right time. Astounding.

My Newcastle United love is colliding with my FC Barcelona love, and the result is, apparently, Anthony Gordon in a Barca unifom! Let's go! #NUFC #forcabarca

Wow, Femení! Whoo! #barcaOL

"...and exploded as planned." Into the ocean. Can we not.

Really happy Andreas Christensen will be staying at FC Barcelona. When he's fit (which, granted, hasn't been a lot lately) he's a great addition to the back line. Here's to a healthy 2026-2027 season! #forcabarca

You know that whoever they replace Tulsi Gabbard with is just going to be worse, so I'm not out here celebrating.

Oh never mind me, I’m just having my weekly cry while watching the @weratedogs.com dogs of the week. 😭😊

Hootie & the Blowfish Garth Brooks Beastie Boys Jimmy Buffett Steve Miller Band Red Hot Chili Peppers Underwater People Bob Dylan Stone Temple Pilots Taylor Swift Introduce yourself with 10 bands*/musicians you’ve seen live** *2 on here I really did not care for **Incredible how this dates me, lol

Suddenly much less interested in the next iteration of The White Lotus. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you hear the name Marcinko and immediately think about Tracy Marcinko's ruined curls, we would probably be friends. www.youtube.com/shorts/3RkQ2...

Last line is the cherry on top

Some authors try to make the CE's job easier, checking hyphens, aiming for continuity, etc. Then you have the ones on a deadline, doing everything they can to turn *something* over, praying the CE can sort it. Appreciate the 1st, completely understand the 2nd, lol. #amediting #amcopyediting

'Waterline' and 'shoreline' but 'tree line.' Grrr. #amcopyediting #amediting

Always enjoy when I have to verify the spelling of a word like "shit ton" and Merriam Webster Collegiate comes through! #amediting #amcopyediting @merriam-webster.com

I had a feeling this game would be tough to watch, and I wasn’t wrong. At least this first half, yikes. #barca #alaves #laliga

Barca has A solid/improving backline. Don’t buy Bastoni. An incredible/injury prone midfield. Keep Frenkie. Generational wingers/capable backups. Keep Rashford at lower wages. Sell Casado/Balde to give them playing time elsewhere. Invest in a striker. Don’t mess too much with a winning team.

Florentino Perez pulling a Trump. Absolutely embarrassing and also just a load of mentally unhinged deflection every other word out of his mouth. #forcabarca #laliga

Saw some headline about this year's American Idol winner, and I cannot express how pleased I am that I haven't watched since Phillip Phillips won in 2012. #trueblessings #lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoRk...

When someone asks about a specific punctuation situation on the CMoS forum that would help you, and the only response is: "I'd rephrase." #amediting #amcopyediting

All this Real Madrid news, hoo boy 👀 #laliga #Valverde #Tchouaméni #Mpabbe #Rudiger #Carreras

Normal people discourse: “horses” Copy editor discourse: “that single quote is facing the wrong way.” #amediting #amcopyediting
