One thing it clear no matter how this ends: this Argentina side is not beating France if they meet them in the final

Should be a clear and obvious red card for Unai Simon under the standard set by Balo's red card last night.

Free my boy. Free Flo Balogun.

That goal brought to you by birthright citizenship!!!!

Absolutely love how willing Dest is to run at defenders

Thomas and Alito's dissents start off with some of these most complete nonsense I have ever seen. They are completely and totally inventing things out of thin air to suit their policy priority of creating a permanent underclass of non-citizens.

Absolutely ludicrous that this was not a 9-0 decision.

It's the right outcome, but the fact that the birthright citizenship case wasn't 9-0 is fucking insane.

Revisiting this after penalties. "It's just Paraguay" looking a little silly now

US playing this Paraguay side off the pitch 4-1 doesn't look so easy now does it @germany

I love the Pacific Northwest, but I have come to the conclusion that too many things are filmed in British Columbia. I know those woods!! Those woods don't exist everywhere!!!

court expansion or don’t bother putting a (D) next to your goddamn name

You never know what's gonna happen with this guy, but look, if he wants to have "Donald Trump stopped legislation that would have lowered your housing costs" hang around Republicans necks in the midterms... www.bbc.com/news/article...

I haven't read this whole thing because I am in the middle of writing a dissertation, but the summaries I have seen are very encouraging and I don't think there's anything actively bad in the legislation.

Due respect, this is not the "lack of respect" I was talking about. I'm talking about the large number of people who told me the US were going to finish third in the group, or even get grouped, because they were "obviously inferior" to the other sides.

The lack of respect people show the US team is actually a bit crazy. If any other team had a front three playing for AC Milan, Monaco, and PSV with a midfield playing for Bournemouth, Leverkusen, and Juve, people would rightly view that team as a dark horse for the tournament.

By the transitive property I think this means we should beat Türkiye 4-0 or 5-0 next week. Insane for the US to be in a position where we could actually rest all of our starters since we already clinched the group.

If I had a nickel for every time that one of the host nations of the World Cup, while playing at home, had their opponent get two red cards. I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

With Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands failing to win their first games at the World Cup one thing is becoming clear with regards to European sides: you are not allowed to win if you've been ruled by the Spanish crown at some point.

Has anyone checked in on Nets fans?

Olivia Rodrigo's "expectations" is about to land like a hydrogen bomb in the Silver Lake dating scene.

Behold! Food so bland it would only be on the kids menu!

Knicks only losing the game that Trump showed up to? Bro ruins everything he touches but couldn't ruin this.

I've seen enough we're going all the way. We're winning the World Cup.

FIFA execs need to be sent to The Hague for ticket policies resulting in a bunch of empty seats right at midfield. Completely unacceptable.

More generally today was a day entirely made possible by transit. Took the Big Blue Bus to Sawtelle for a party for a friend graduating with his PhD, took the E Line to downtown for the meeting (watched the second half of the Mexico game, can't do that while driving) and then the D Line back home.

I had a meeting in downtown LA today end at ~3:45. I was at the La Cienega/Wilshire stop at 4:13. The D line extension is incredible.

Sometimes this app has the juice man

Amid *gestures vaguely at everything* one bright light is that it does seem like it's shaping up to be a banner year for housing legislation in California.

The Knicks really have the Mandate of Heaven huh?

This is a great way to ensure that only independently wealthy people run for Congress at all.

Aside from the fact that Raman did not in fact concede in her speech on election night...it's weird that Republicans are making such a meal out of the idea. It's not like concessions have any legal force...

We are about to have to once again watch this man go to 6 more sporting events until he finds a crowd that won't boo him. He's found another way to ruin the World Cup.

The number of texts and emails I have received about primary elections in LA/California in recent days is *way* higher than previous years. Speaks to just how competitive these primaries are this year.

Just has been done here.

I have finally gotten all the data from my field experiment on local mobilization and run the preliminary analyses. I have uncovered the worst kind of result known to man: mixed results.

This is correct obviously. But there is a strain of leftism that I think takes this to an unhealthy extreme wherein people do not believe that they have a responsibility to contribute towards the maintenance of the state or social order full stop.

What on earth happened to this guy? Like five years ago I remember him being a normal, even good governor??

My little sister was on to something huh

In other news, it's shaping up to be another banner year in terms of good housing legislation in California this year.

Genuinely my entire Twitter feed is this insane Ube Ice Cream discourse. What are we doing? What's going on?

So we're all supposed to believe it's coincidence that the Knicks started to routinely make the playoffs after Soul 22 finally came to earth? That this was a fictional movie?

Always very funny when a team throws a position player out there to pitch once the outcome of the game is beyond doubt. Rojas with an unfortunate ERA of 45 here 😂

I'm not saying there were any lingering doubts about just how much the Republican Party is Trump's party now, but if you had any...Paxton's convincing win in the Texas senate runoff should let you know know that both the base and the politicians belong to him.

Thanks for the opinion Ted but I'll gladly take higher gas prices in exchange for not having every breath I take be full of toxic fumes.

Democrats should run on corruption and then also do a bunch of other good governance reforms while dealing with corruption. Start with dramatically increasing the amount available to pay congressional staff and creating a national program to allow state legislatures to pay staff more as well.

Friend who won the first four years of our group's Fantasy Premier League annual mini league has failed to win for the second year in a row.

I am unsure whether this is one of my hottest takes or one of my normiest takes - probably depends on the audience - but man we have to stop doing this thing where we act like people are irredeemably evil if they have relatively minor policy disagreements with us.

And the reason I’m complaint about this is that, frankly, if I can’t mention it to my biggest social media, my other ones need to pick up the slack! Donate for my livestream on the 13th. Help immigrants and make me watch a dogshit movie: tinyurl.com/jakestreamdonation
