(But only if you bring good vibes. Vibes at spirit matches are typically immaculate.)

FEELING SO GOOD. Also psyched that we got several instances of Tara the Explorer, Gifts from Gift, PLUS we got some Tenacious D(eb) excitement in there too.

The second evolution of Tara McKeown You can say it now as if it has always been: Tara McKeown is a center back. Of course she is, and a damn good one at that. She's been playing the position for years, never you mind how many. Tara McKeown is a center back. Not just any center back either, her prowess at the position, which includes specialized 1v1 defending, has also made her a frequent starter for the U.S.

Washington Spirit defender Tara McKeown has excelled at the rare transition from forward to center back. Now, she's becoming something else entirely.

Very well could be. Just one of the angry asshole dc United “fans” who like hooliganism more than soccer?

BIG ditto! So uncomfortably weird. But I also felt so much better by the whole 1,000 people joining together to say f**k off to that guy and regaining the joy.

It was definitely him. We were three rows in front of him. Definitely a disturbed man. Hope he’s bounced from Audi for the season.

Anti-chant guy started in immediately with curses and slurs. He was solo. Wearing all spirit gear (and pride spirit gear at that) but only cheering for Vancouver. Very strange dude.

Except Decemberists lyrics don’t involve a mass casualty incident… I feel SO horrifyingly bad for the people who were tied to those upper level masts and just had to watch their death slowly come at them. 🤮

You know she left the game, right? And you know mild concussions can pass the immediate concussion protocol, right? And you know that Hatch being able and feeling empowered to a few mins later, stop the game to get medical care is a fantastic thing, right?

5 days of doxycycline for a sinus infection should not cost $50.

American health insurers are scam artists.

Honestly? I hope they do *blatantly* admit they're going to ignore a 9-0 ruling from SCOTUS. Might make SCOTUS sit up and pay freaking attention? Could be hopium though....

Very good point. I'm very happy to "register for a few hundred conferences per weekend" if needed.

I can also tell someone who hasn’t purchased any clothing in several years - every non-prestige company has marked up their “normal” prices so they can near constantly “offer discounts” to make it seem like you’re getting some deal.

Ah yes the “they deserve it” argument.

And fabletics is just regular fast fashion gym wear by the way - just sports bras and running shorts and the like.

Fabletics is posting a “Tariff Surcharge” on their receipts. I hope other companies follow suit.

Look how hard Abbott is fighting to disenfranchise Texans, or outright not hold elections (see the current vacant seats). Texas COULD be in play if we worked a few more cycles at it.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Life’s too short to spend time around people who can’t stop one-upping other people.

All my dark humor can think of is "at least they won't be shipped off immediately to some gulag in another country"?

All right I got fed up and had to write this.

although, an app also opens up the avenue for more persecution... I can see someone being stopped at a border with a legal visa/citizenship, and then the mere fact that they have this app on their phone makes them "suspect"
