We’ve got to fly Bill Kennedy around and just have him explain these review decisions. Most of the FIFA refs can’t handle the mic pressure.

So brutal. I’m putting this one up with the Mookie trade as unforgivable decisions that are entirely unnecessary.

Jaylen Brown was as present in the community as any star you'll find. His efforts through the 7uice Foundation, the Bridge Program, and Boston XChange highlighted the bond he built with the city.

Arnold Schwarzenegger really said "Ice to meet you" as Mr. Freeze in "Batman and Robin," and no one said anything. And people wonder why we are where we are today.

Hey Elixir friends! :) Hologram v0.10 is out, now with a real event system. To show it off, I rebuilt Space Invaders in pure Elixir, running in the browser with no game engine. There's a new server-side middleware layer too.

you would think "do not lose track of the 6'5" blonde thor-looking motherfucker and let him get the ball in front of the goal unguarded" would be an easy thing for defenses yet somehow haaland keeps doing it

The rainier cherry harvest has begun in WA. Workers earn $10 per 25lb bucket. This short one month season is how workers save up for winter time as they have the opportunity to save money if they work extremely fast. Some can make $30-$40/hr but most workers don't.

I have two tied for first place. 1. At the end of a museum visit, I suggested to my 9 year old that she would have a “richer experience” if she read the materials accompanying the exhibits. 2. I texted my father about a brand of yogurt he should keep an eye out for.

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:
