i have very bad news for everyone (including me) who loathes mandatory hydration breaks: they will become a permanent part of soccer going forward because they allow for more moneymaking opportunities.

gawd let's hope this isn't the opening line to a horror novel

we finally found something republicans are NOT screaming about using ivermectin for, and whaddya know, it's a parasitic worm

my regular coffee place was closed this morning. had to go to dunkin donuts, like an animal

the spurs haven't won since wemby made the team watch 'obsession'

got an offer to get discovery+ streaming app free. looked to see what shows are on it. they should change the name to 'all the stuff that made you stop watching tv +'

hey i'm in tunguska, massachusetts, and you wouldn't believe the boom i just he

wonder if i'm the only person alive who eats funyons with a spoon

The physical transformation Chris Evans pulled off in "Captain America: The First Avenger" -- making himself tiny and skeletal and then super-buff -- is more impressive than anything De Niro ever did. And yet nobody ever talks about it.

nwsl will be to liga mx femenil as mls is to liga mx within five years. (unless nwsl abolishes the salary cap)

Paul's voice has been shot for ~15 years and continues getting weaker. But look at any concert clip and you'll see the same thing: those in attendance don't care. Every concert is an explosion of communal joy. And meanwhile, he keeps writing great songs and making great records.

the mccartney influence on harry styles is large

folks, if the ballroom or arch really get built, they ain't coming down. i don't thing ensuing admins will tear them down. rename them, perhaps, rededicate them. but they'll be there to stay.

clue on jeopardy tonight was about u.s. immigration being cut to just 7.500 in 2025, and ken added, "oddly, almost all from south africa." ken obviously knows why, but only a tiny % of americans do, or are aware of this at all, and if you state the obvious reason why most will think you're nuts.

@frankcogliano.bsky.social good job in my tv last night

centerfold in next month's issue of 'tomcat' magazine #cats #catsky

mushrooms are not non-fungible

there is a 100-percent certainty that american "conservatives" are going to schism and create their own "catholic" church

american conservative catholics have been on the road to a schism for a long time. it just drew a lot closer. and tr*mp might actually become pope of *that* religion.

dems really -- really really really -- need to start continuously referring to tr*mp as that loser, and to all the republicans enabling him, and all those "conservatives" preaching hate and violence, as those weirdos and freaks. constant use of unamerican and anti-american to please.

Jack: Hey, let's run off behind those shady trees, dribble off those Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please? Diane: Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Jack: Okayyyy. Is that a 'yes'?

@wagesofwins.bsky.social who would you take No. 1 in the wnba draft?

they should put "i will beat geno's ass" on t-shirts

Man after teleporting to Waffle House: I have teleported to Waffle House! Kid behind counter: Sir, this is an Arby's

dark chocolate is the kale of chocolate

uconn played terrible in that first half and still up 8. but they won't get away it against sc, ucla or tx

mamdani is the best democratic politician *at politicking* since bill clinton's heyday

local news station promoing its lead anchor's podcast where she talks to a guy who is shown saying those UFO cases that aren't aliens are probably demons.

@charlesgaba.com got an fundraising email in TX from mike duggan that began its pitch, "the democratic party used to love me, now they hate me." uhhhh.... you're talking to the wrong guy pal

we use food delivery services a LOT, and past two orders, for the first time ever, they've been having trouble finding drivers. either our doctors have contacted doordash and asked them to stop enabling us, or gas prices are making folks think twice about driving for doordash et al

@nwslsoccer.com why is victory+ blacking out the spirit/racing game for much of the country (that is nowhere near wash or lou)? is this a glitch? thought v+ was supposed to be doing national broadcasts?

i am once again begging democrats to create, promote, and be ready to implement a robust package of anti-corruption, pro-ethics, and good-government laws, along with *real* (not figurative) guardrails for democracy. 1/2

alarm clocks are woke

@marqevans.bsky.social mr. evans, when will this his theaters and/or streaming? or is it already available somewhere for those of us not at sxsw? can't wait to see it!

there's a headbust in the march 9 issue of the new yorker. what is happening in the world?

in high school circa 1984, i watched one of the worst students in the school go up to the chalkboard before class started and write "bomb iran" on the board, except he wrote it like: BOME IRAN and now that guy (figuratively speaking) is in charge of u.s. military actions

@jasondcsoccer.bsky.social @838carlisle.bsky.social finally managed to find result of wu23 usa-mex game two days ago: mex 2, usa 0. no wonder ussoccer wasn't providing any info. great week for mexico women squads, canada might be just the third-best north american team ...

friend of mine in high school was the school's arch conservative and president of its Teenage Republicans (TAR) chapter. school told them they couldn't use campus for meetings. we libs, who did not have our own club (typical), protested on their behalf. eventually a compromise was arranged. (1/2)

@chris-awk.bsky.social any idea if the usa-mex u23 women match that starts shortly is streaming anywhere?

my biggest fear about the war is that it will lead to terrorist attacks here, which the christofascist tr*mp admin will use as an excuse to start rounding up and, say, concentrating, american muslims ....

@jamestalarico.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social Whoever wins tomorrow, I will be proud to vote for in the general. Good luck to you both! And please, when it's over, put aside the bitterness of a primary, come together, support each other, and rally Dems and Texans! thanks

my guess is that pl@tner loses the general election, probably by double digits. gop is so much better than dems at oppo research. i'm imagining all kinds of horrors about him coming out in the general.

@uswnt.ussoccer.com will the u23 games vs. mexico next week be streamed? tnx

reminder that the vast majority of americans have absolutely no idea what is happening in government/policy/politics outside of the very small bubble of things that affect them directly: (1/4)

i'm going to start doing reaction videos of reaction videos. use the creators' work the way they use the original artists' work.

i'm just glad 6 is no longer afraid of 7

the most unbelievable thing about the 'hunger games' movies? high-speed rail.

Immigrants both join America and enrich it. We don't even think about it, because it's so obvious. We're all out there practicing yoga, using Yiddish expressions, eating in Peruvian restaurants. We're the Borg of nations, absorbing & also changing. MAGA is trying to break our culture, not save it.

toes are ridiculous. i mean, look at 'em
