I wish Grant was here to see this; I think it would have been a high point in his life to interview Messi over burnt end sandwiches at Gates

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

Way too many ostensibly left-leaning folks & outlets rely on lookism for cheap barbs. It's the one thing I hate about John Oliver

When I started covering DC United in 2011, coverage was robust - MLS had its own beat writer (my dear friend @cboehm.bsky.social), I provided granular coverage for DCist, Black & Red United went further - and Goff, a real legend, covered the club like a big league team.

They now have no coverage.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Drove past the house we grew up in in Mission, & the current owners have a πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ flag hanging out front. I should've stopped to say hello & solidarity, but I'm a ball of anxiety on a good day, so this is my sheepish way of saying thanks. An unexpected joy today. I love you, Kansas🌻

Probably, but the studio wouldn't allow her to be hard-napping and so: uppers for Judy, sing, zombie

As we celebrate #blackhistorymonth we reflect on the impact black players have had on both our league and the MLSPA.

My SME 10th grade biology teacher was a finalist for McAulife's slot. TV carts were rolled into the cafeteria so we could all watch the news reports of the explosion. A usually dynamic, loud cafeteria was almost entirely silent, like a kind of shared hope had been stolen from us.

I got Peacock specifically to watch Poker Face (excellent show they cancelled after 2 seasons), but I can say it is far & away THE WORST streaming service of any I have ever had. Constantly buggy, slow, crashing. No care at all was put into it

This line ought to set off a huge alarm at MLS HQ:

"The Loons were negotiating transfer deals with Slovenian midfielder Tomi Horvat and Dutch defender Cherrion Valerius, but both players cited concerns about life in Minnesota for them and their families as why they declined contracts with MNUFC."
