Beautiful passing on second goal.
Saba’s free kick was a rocket.
But you may not see a better header all year than Togashi’s.

Very well put. Watching their games used to be one of the things I looked forward to each summer. Now, as you said, it’s just depressing.

For the life of me, someone please explain that halftime substitution.

Why in the literal world did you make this substitution?

With the MLB All-Star Game happening next week in Cobb, there's about to be a barrage of propaganda about what an economic success it has been. This isn't true. I wrote up a report with all the data 3 years ago. It's a net cost to taxpayers of -$15 million/year. www.kennesaw.edu/coles/center...

Go down for brats and beer on the Terrace at the Memorial Union on the lake at UW. On a sunny night, watch the sailboats go by. One of my favorite spots in the country.

Trump officials take steps toward a radically different NSF Efforts to shrink staff, budget, and focus have alarmed members of Congress

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

One constant thing I've seen the last few years and continuing this year -- we just cannot play the ball out of the back smoothly.

Going over. I'm hopefully optimistic that Penix is the real deal. If Ulbrich can just get the defense to be middle of the pack, that would really help.
