my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

โ€œIndependence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raidsโ€ is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just canโ€™t make up.

Historical reality, happily, isn't constrained by the same standards of likelihood that apply to fiction. Where I live, No Kings Day demonstrations are about to coincide with the observation of Kamehameha I Day, celebrating the Hawaiian monarchy, and the two events originate at the same location.

The manhole covers are a bit clunky to collect. I have a feeling that cards with these creatures on them could be a big hit, though.

My proposal for this was to have each team drop a player and then play for 10 or 15 more minutes. Still tied? Drop another player and repeat.

Games that got down to a 1v1, goalie-v-goalie match would be intense, but it wouldn't often get to that point.
