Better team won. They better win it all. England and Argentina don’t look like championship teams.

Killing self (soccer team of country I don’t belong to is losing)

1 FRANCE FRANCE FRANCE ALLEZ LES BLEUS 2 Spain ig 3 Las Malvinas soy Argentina 4 Watching The Rise of Skywalker Clockwork Orange style on loop for 24 hours 5 Ritual Disembowlment 6 England

> Norway goal Life is beautiful and full of meaning > England goal Kms

I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but I highly doubt McConnell is weekend at Bernie-ing himself to deny (checks notes) Republican Thomas Massie a longshot bid at a 2-month term as Senator

I don’t care that Argentina won. I just need England to lose.

Kinda crazy that for all the hand-wringing about corruption in Russia and Qatar hosting the World Cup, the one to actually break the barrier and do a Corruption in regards to on field events is the fucking US.

There’s this weird thing with libs where the death penalty is icky and rude until the Civil War is brought up and then suddenly they’re openly fantasizing about murdering everyone in the south because that somehow doesn’t make things worse.

NEVER go up 2-0 on Belgium in the knockout rounds

My American casual soccer fan suggestions for rule changes, from basic to more wacky: - The fouled player takes the penalty kick - Consistent yellows for dives with 0 contact - No offsides in the box - 90s-00s MLS style PKs - Second half of ET is 8 played on 8

The more SCOTUS exists the more I feel the critical flaw of the US Constitution was English common law coupled with a democratic base

This game has been a war

I’m gonna poffertje myself

Do you ever yearn

Messi is gonna own the world cup scoring record for about 20 minutes before Mbappe takes it, who will then own it for like 5 seconds until Haaland passes him

Build that Curacao keeper a statue to rival the Colossus

I love telling people “I have a really good knock knock joke but you have to start it”

As a guy that sometimes pretends he’s both Scottish and Bostonian, I really hope the Tartan Army gets a result against Brazil and tbh after that I believe they can

Sportsball update

Me when my dream girl drops a dm out of the blue and we talk constantly for a year and the moment we have a chance to meet she ghosts me

Changing it to “Department of War” is good and should be permanent, just for the opposite reasons the change was actually made But for the love of god I need this admin to stop trying to make “warfighters” a thing. Sounds like a 10 year old talking about action figures.

World Cup comes to US, has ad-breaks mid-half.

Hot take but group stage >>>>> knockout rounds for a World Cup.

Their mayor muslim Their bagel jewish Taylor Swift is the greatest songwriter alive Knicks in five

The 2024 election if Biden or Harris had said “I love the inflation”

This is still so funny to me

Do not get me wrong, I like Zohran and think he’s doing good things, but no mayor in the US is this powerful. He’s been in office 6 months. NYC’s low crime rate has been a WIP for decades.

I am to live in such a way that my wikipedia page winds up beginning: Liberty Socks (1995-2036) was an American-French author, poet, and privateer during the War of the Eighth Coalition.

Slightly crazy story idea: Elizabethan era romantic comedy with Shakespearean dialogue but they have smartphones for some reason

I think my most populist opinion is that the economy is meaningfully bad for reasons that traditional metrics can’t demonstrate

Since when have people started to treat LOTR and Narnia as these deep classics in the vein of a Brontë or Joyce?

I think I hate AI-bros more than MAGAs at this point (Though there’s a good amount of overlap)

Real talk: I think the 2020s are objectively the worst time to be alive since at least the 80s. Everything about society, politics, culture, living standards, is genuinely worse.

OpenAI ad has an incorrectly set up chess board in it.

I’m gonna be a curmudgeon about the NBA again: There’s no excuse for Detroit’s arena to be 90% empty at the end of this game. Idc that it’s a blowout. Show a tiny bit of support for your team having its best season in 20 years.

This is the first story I tell all my English students

Checking in on the bad place

The existence of a Pop Culture Jeopardy is a sign of civilizational decline

If there was a single-issue “shrink cars by 10% and force half of white cars to be repainted a new color” party, I’d vote for them

British people are constantly trying to weasel out of responsibility for their part in slavery and colonialism with this weak ass shit about how they stopped slavery a couple years before the US. This timeline is meaningless in the context of history. You don’t get a cookie for this.

I think the hot take I was the most right on was “We have 10 years after 2020 to ban gerrymandering or else it’ll ruin American democracy”

Studied a particular chess opening to beat a coworker and it paid off.
