Oh so it's one of those rosters

#USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino on Gio Reyna: "We already know the potential of Gio and the talent. ... We know he's not playing too much but it's a good opportunity in November. ... It's more about to be with him, to share time, to know [him] better" (q from @stevengoff.bsky.social)

the new hotness on the right is recent converts twisting Catholic or Orthodox doctrine into justifications for anti-Semitism (because they were already huge anti-Semites before they converted), and then sandwiching this within seemingly-reasonable claims about US foreign policy x.com/audreyfahlbe...

When your "I'm not antisemitic, it's just that ..." defense is "if we push back too hard on antisemitism I might have to eat dinner with some Jews and that would contradict my faith" ... You're not beating the rap guys

The answer is they can but they then have to pay back the money when (if, apparently) they get made whole.

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

She’s gonna be governor of Virginia one day and it fucking rocks.

here's our @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social interview with Semafor's Liz Hoffman on Everton, 777 Partners, and the increasing risks being taken on by insurance companies and people managing insurance money podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/7...

chalk up another W for "if you want to stay ahead of the trend on global finance news, just become a European football fan"

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Agreed, also I think Jews need to confront a pernicious Islamophobia problem across our temples. bsky.app/profile/ryan...

It is extremely funny to remember that during the mega shutdown during Trump 1 it was flight attendants threatening to shutdown air travel that led republicans to cave more or less immediately.

The difference between an inside straight and a straight is very large!!!! Can we like at least upgrade them to like drawing to two overs first?

This is probably true but mostly it’s the mommy issues.

genuinely fucking funny for Republicans to be angrily screaming that the Republican candidate, who won the Republican primary, ran as a spoiler against the Independent candidate that lost the Democratic primary

Look you can’t say that guy doesn’t understand the assignment.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Oh wow really? Do you not follow American politics? Do you think New York is just another foreign municipality? Shall we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Zohran Mamdani?

My wife has been a federal employee for both of these. So….what do we win?

Zohran is cool and awesome and I’m thrilled for him and all of us but at my core this is who I am: the Jewish guy who shows up to be a world class hater in support of his friend

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

Pretty pretty pretty good.

Thank you middle aged back pain for waking me up and letting me gloat.

I mean yeah centrists believe that people don’t actually want things to change. And that to the extent Trump is radical he is radical in his promises to protect people from change. Dunno that I’d agree but I don’t think it’s a hard position to understand.

It’s a little nerd thing but the positioning of Camavinga and Valverde is weird and interesting for Real Madrid.

It's annoying to keep having to point this out, but the actual DNC has been behind Mamdani ever since he won the primary, which you wouldn't know by reading some posts on here.

Well it’s almost three pm and I have given in and am looking at early turnout numbers. Don’t do this to yourself.

The Barbra Banda stuff is just so fucking gross man.

In 10 years time, Max Dowman will still be younger than Kylian Mbappe is now

Might as well post my election predictions. 1. Zohran coasts to a majority. 2. Spanberger goes big and Jones gets over the line. 3. Nobody has to stay up late sweating Sherrill. Full rose colored glasses.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

“In case you were wondering, it is us, the Republicans, making you touch the stove.”

I'm posting this on BlueSky to (hopefully) disprove a theory I have about this platform. Do people on here understand this is not 'pro-Palestine' activism, despite this individual describing her output as such? That this is in fact the Great Replacement theory so beloved of White Nationalists?

as summarized in the @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social and @graceonfootball.com discord (by @honeybakedsam.bsky.social)

Really really resent the world in which we found ourselves meaning that I only disagreed with the vast vast vast majority of what this man stood for instead of absolutely everything.

Happy halfway to midterms day. Hang in there everybody.

a lot of folks on here see themselves as holy crusaders to harass people online they don't like. that's bad, in my opinion

Nuclear block is great because you rally just get to remove annoying posters from your life. One category of extremely annoying poster is the poster that loudly and authoritatively shouts about a subject they know nothing about while blocking anybody with any expertise to know they’re wrong.

Making voters hate the party: bad Getting voters who already hate democrats to vote for you: good It’s a tricky balance and tbh I think most dems saying they are not like the democratic socialist mayor of New York City is good for them on balance!

The idea that voter preferences matter but also that voter preferences map imperfectly to candidates stated positions just seems so obvious and yet all anybody does is strawman the two halfs of that belief against each other.

I mean conceptually the people who believe the progressives are the problem believe that to be the case *because* of the nationalization of politics.

Classic Blunders 1. Don’t get involved in a land war in Asia. 2. Don’t go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line 3. Don’t call Wallace Shawn “Dr. Strugis in Young Sheldon”

If you see people trying to make this endorsement about anti-Zionism feel free to wish them persistent hiccups at bedtime. This is a prime example of Jewish politics in America having a lot more to do with, well, Jewish politics in America, than Israel.

Sometimes you wake up one Sunday morning and your eight-year-old has decided they’re really into Ticket To Ride now. And out of nowhere you’re just having a great parenting board game weekend.

Moises Caicedo is so so so good. But dear god do you not want to watch a match where the stand out performance is Moises Caicedo.

Tottenham seem really annoying to play against if you think you’re supposed to beat them and not at all annoying to play against if you think they’re supposed to beat you.

Arsenal have allowed four shots on target across their last five Premier League games. 18 teams have conceded four or more *goals* across their last five Premier League games.

NBC Sports obsession with having Gary Neville read the promos is a great bit.

Is anybody gonna like try to implement a specific defensive game plan to counteract the Arsenal set piece template? Like, one of these days? Maybe?
