This is why I pay for Internet

Call a doctor because I overdosed on serotonin.

TWICE’s performance at Lollapalooza kicked ass.

I’d read those essays.

So as I think about that fourth sentence in her farewell reflecting on what I did in the time that I was there, I do know with absolute certainty this:

Yes, @lawsonsv.bsky.social, you did give something to the sport and fans, and we all became enriched because you are here.

Salud, my friend.

The fact is when you get a sense of that finality, you just want to be able end it on your terms. Sophie deserves all of the flowers & admiration for what she brought to the sport as a writer, a storyteller, much as the heart feels & roots for her to just be healthy.

Since then it's been a passing thought at best if I miss any, all of it since the end of the 2024. Honestly, there are some things I miss, but I don't miss it enough to want to come back. Even writing in general, I might get a spark of an idea, but I don't think about it enough to see it through.

"I haven’t always enjoyed it but I hope I gave something to the sport and fans."

That's the fourth sentence in @lawsonsv.bsky.social's raw & honest bow out of writing about soccer hits me in a way I haven't thought about since I myself logged out of the beat after the 2024 NWSL season.

Chobani Flips in general, and this right here.

“Abe, isn't Homer cute?””

“Probably. I'm trying to watch the MLS on Apple. If people don't support this thing, it might not make it.”

Basketball is dumb, but I got to hang out with @susierantz.bsky.social, so tonight was a win.

One year on, new Reign ownership sees progress but more to do Reign president Maya Mendoza-Exstrom sat down with Ride of the Valkyries to reflect on the club's growth in the last year.

It’s been a year since the Sounders formally took on an ownership role with Seattle Reign. We look back on what has changed … and what can still be improved.

A good movie should take you to a world where it feels real, has depth.

A good movie should make you feel in the moment, good emotions, bad emotions, everything in-between.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is a good movie because it hit those marks. And it has a great soundtrack.
