He also pronounced Frei as "fray" as if he wasn't the most ubiquitous keeper in the league for the last decade. And constantly ascribing cultural stereotypes to players based on their nationality. Maybe he's one of those guys that came from hockey or basketball last year and just doesn't know.

Dear @mls.bsky.social, please find a tv provider that doesn't use and brag about using cell phones to capture live sports broadcasting.

Seriously, if you're gluten intolerant (and don't have an actual anaphylactic wheat allergy,) you're wasting your time making focaccia and pizza with anything else.

United States: "We need to focus on finding ways to increase shareholder profits. Replace labor with AI."

Italy: "We need to focus on finding a gluten free dough for foccacia and pizza that tastes as good as traditional dough. Extract the gluten from the wheat to feed our gluten free population."

I think they are more likely to relegate this media to irrelevance. People already know 60 Minutes is no longer legitimate, for example. No one seeking truth will look to these networks for it.

This 2,000-year-old glass Roman twenty-sided die (d20)

Romans were rolling d20s long before Gary Gygax invented Dungeons & Dragons. Historians aren't sure what game this was used for. The symbols are Greek letters acting as numbers. (Imagine trying to carve "XVIII" legibly onto one side.)

I sit in 119, def heard ECS singing it over the sounds of my very loud "Boooooooooo" at the ref in front of me.

As a fan in the stadium for a #Sounders game, here's the deal. Anytime VAR asks to pause a game, #Soundwave should be notified to play until the pause is over, to ease how much it absolutely sucks to have a VAR intervention.

I heard the Hawks Nest is being renovated for the World Cup. They hid the band in the away supporters area. And maybe they have a new stadium A/V manager this year, because the band volume was very inconsistent, but improved as the game went on.

Whenever I see someone use the word "hella" as fluently as you just did, I feel like my Gen X perspective is still important in the world. That's so boss! Word.

2026 has so far proved to be the return of print magazines, and I'm here for it. I just received the #roadsandkingdoms first edition (and you should too if you are a wannabe food traveler like me.)
And @sounderatheart.com's first effort has a date with my mailbox very soon! Here's to paper and ink!

I’ve been asking for two days, where’s the MN National Guard? It’s past time for them to be deployed. Walz knows this. He was a higher-ranking reservist for twenty years. This is a full-on assault of Minnesotans and American Citizens.

Betting on actual people dying? Heck yeah. Except it's not betting, it's trading, it's a nightmarish vision of hell, it is American and it is called Polymarket. A key investor? Peter Thiel. By the great @brianphillips.bsky.social.

If you're looking for a nightcap after, he plays a great bad guy in Absolute Beginners as well. (It also features Sade, and Ray Davies from the Kinks.)

Lot of talk about “wow they killed a WHITE woman” and yes, racism is the original sin of this country, far far more Black/Brown people are killed than white, that is all true.
But angry insecure men killing women - any woman - for not obeying them is a thing that is older than any nation on earth.

In case any other nations out there are interested, I think someone just normalized kidnapping a foreign leader to prosecute them for war crimes. Is The Hague busy this winter?

All true. Not measured in there though was the fact that it was so fun to watch. I agree though, greed is good, and I wanna see this group get as much as possible. Especially precient while we still have Obed

I think if Tsukunome could take a bench wing our outside mid position, and we get some good midfield bench help (or RB help so Alex can play mid,) we'd be indecent shape. Any more than that would be awesome.
