ayyy I got the prediction wrong (yay) but I did accurately anticipate the way Lou City's record-breaking regular season hung heavy 'round their necks once Detroit City had their goal

Also: It is settled that Devon Amoo-Mensah is the greatest of the NISA All-Stars

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

the #FM26 beta bugs - and yeah, sure, there’s lots - don’t change the fact that I’m once again walking around meat-space, daydreaming about what I need to change to make Chicago Red Stars* the best side in the world

Liverpool's increasing messiness looks to me like a changing of the guard in real time. This front office is decisive and lethal. I'm guessing we see Mo move in January and players who can take minutes from VVD coming in because wow, they're melting in front of us

lemme just phase in here to say: holy fucking shit, Shohei Ohtani

people toss around the idea of 'generational talent,' and usually I'm skeptical - but this dude is just exactly that, like a player you'd create on an editor in a simulator game when you're 14
