Janeese Lewis George is running for DC mayor! I've had the privilege of being represented by her since 2020, and she has consistently been a strong voice for progressives in DC. (Favorite memory: she held a virtual hearing on social housing in DC, with constituents able to speak for up to 2 […]

Does anyone else buy themselves vitamin gummies and then have to exert extreme amounts of willpower so they don't OD on vitamins

Ahhh Tom Stoppard passed away.

He wrote a number of plays (& screenplays) of note but for me the work that will always stick with me is Arcadia. I read it as a teenager and have seen it performed several times as an adult. There are certain stories that evoke a feeling so sharply and strongly […]

Commanders specifically ordered Navy SEALs to fire on and kill two survivors of (alleged) drug boat sinking in September. "The order was to kill everybody".

Analyzing this as an unlawful order or as homicide or as a war crime is, of course, necessary, but at the same time it seems morally […]

Oh that's interesting - I hadn't checked in a few months, I wonder if teams adjusted their tactics towards the end of the season

@anakin78z

Gotham aren't dirty but they do commit more fouls than other teams, both this year and last. But I think it's mostly because they won. Pride became a bit of a bad guy after last year, etc

You won't stop procrastinating when you have more time.

You won't stop procrastinating after you get that credential.

You won't stop procrastinating when you have a better planner.

You will stop procrastinating when you believe, in your gut, that you are good enough even if you fail.

If you have a few extra bucks and enjoy the kitten cam (https://www.twitch.tv/tm_baumgartner) or the antics of the office kittens, the Yolo County Animal Services Shelter is running low on foster kitten food.

Did a game happen after this? I don't remember a game happening after this. Megan Rapinoe danced to the Free DC chant while wearing a Free DC flag and then we all went home

Nbd just Megan Rapinoe rocking a #FreeDC flag as a cape at the #nwsl championship game

Almost time!!! Just getting to the tailgate myself.

Leaked Emails Reveal Epstein Helped Fund MIT’s Bitcoin Work Leaked Emails show Jeffrey Epstein funded MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative, helping support early Bitcoin Core developers.

Good rule of thumb: pick technical projects to work on that don't make the leader of a massive child sex trafficking ring want to secretly funnel millions of dollars to you.

How Spanish Managers Are Dominating Women’s Soccer in North America The biggest finals in the U.S. and Mexico will feature coaches from Spain facing off for trophies. Is there a formula or is it just coincidence?

“He just texted me, said ‘Hey, I’m Juan Carlos [Amorós]. I’m here. Whatever you need. Welcome to America.’”

Four Spanish coaches are going head-to-head in this weekend’s #NWSL + #LigaMXFem finals.

I wrote about their connections, differences, and journeys

A black and white cat sits in a basket. Hanging on the wall above it is a painting of the same cat in the same basket.

My cat Rainbow likes to sit in this basket in my bathroom. My daughter painted a portrait of Rainbow in the basket. I hung it in the bathroom, naturally. Then I got a photo of Rainbow sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

Had to get out the door at 7am this morning. Woke up at quarter to six so I had time to shower. Really enjoying cosplaying as a morning person.

Jet lag will resolve just as I'm adjusting to SF time, and when I get back to DC I'll be waking up at noon (normal 9am wakeup + time difference)

Tara McKeown grins while holding her Defender of the Year and Best XI awards. From either side of her, Trinity Rodman and Croix Bethune blow kisses at her.

Lorena over Dickey and Bev over Vlatko are objectively dumb results but idc because Tara McKeown defender of the year!!! Did you know she used to be a striker????

Getting to Know NF-Core (Open Source Project Tours) Open Source Project Tours are recorded sessions where an open source maintainer functions as a tour guide to their project, showing me the lay of the land and answering my questions about how their design reflects the relationships and needs of contributors and users. In our very first project tour, Maxime Garcia shows us around nf-core, a community building build open-source Nextflow components and pipelines.

Finally: don't forget the stickers! (or: why it's important to have fun in foss)

Excited to see Weezy (Kate Weisner) on this list. And Croix! And pleased that both Trinity and Tara are getting a rest.

Very happy for Jaedyn Shaw who has had such a renaissance since she went to Gotham. I hope she chills for one more game then has a completely baller camp for the USWNT
