USA plays Dominican Republic tomorrow at 8pm ET.
Vladdy will soon avenge us, and he'll have a ton of fun doing it.
Canada missed some golden opportunities to make history. But still, a very respectable showing and score against a loaded lineup. And now we can watch DR joyfully dismantle the US team in a couple days.
Ah, I did not notice that detail, good catch
Many Canadians are not visiting the US at the moment, and there was only a few days notice for this game. More Canadian fans were in the DR for the group games, I think.

Fake education, but very real tuition fees. The worst of all worlds.
1. Win it all for the Dominican Republic
2. DO NOT GET HURT!
Thank you for keeping up the fight and not letting these things slide by without being called out. Losing all these battles feels inevitable now, sadly. The anger I hear when talking to people I know, online and off, has not found any effective political voice for at least a decade now.
Do pork belly futures rise and fall in tandem with bao futures? 🤔

Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.
I read mostly old books, but that's partly because clowns like these guys have created a world where the media is polluted with AI slop, traditional publishing has been rendered unprofitable, and real experts have been usurped by bullshit influencers. So this is a bit of a weird admission, no?
But I'm sure they accept your monthly premium payments from outside of the US without complaint.
Driving a car is dangerous and drivers have no more 'common sense' than transit riders. So why aren't cars programmed to blare loud safety messages at the driver through the speakers every two minutes? This is really no less preposterous.

Almost everyone who remembers WW2 as an adult, or even a teen, is now dead. The brutal lessons of that time are now being forgotten and discarded.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
It’s #internationalwomensday #iwd and once again I’m showcasing my mom’s work. And even though she abandoned her art to keep her family together in spite of everyone trying to pull us apart, any time she does pick up a brush her work comes across so effortless like she never stopped working.
I was reading a summary of this recently in Mary Beard's 'Parthenon' book and was struck by exactly the same thought.
High speed rail through transparent underwater tubes. Count the lobsters and sharks as you zip by.

I refuse to read this, but I glanced at the photo and will just assume that's the same guy with and without glasses.
True, but before the ban there was plenty of opposition to the speed cameras at the city level, including all the repeated vandalism that the police seemed unable (or unwilling) to investigate or prevent.
Meanwhile, modest measures like speed cameras, red light cameras, and stricter traffic enforcement to make our roads safer are vigorously opposed and sabotaged, even though far more people are killed or injured on our roads than on public transit each year.
The last point is it, maybe. "All streetcars should be subways! All subway stations should have platform doors! Every station should be staffed with a team of cops! Oh wow, all that will cost billions, I guess we can't afford public transit anymore, what a shame, buy a car."
"Many Americans already take a dim view of A.I. and feel as if they are being frog-marched to a future that they neither asked for nor wanted. If A.I. robs some of them of their livelihoods, knocks them out of the middle class ... wariness will quickly give way to rage."
In 1890–91, Monet painted 25 views of haystacks in Normandy.
Each canvas captured different weather, seasons, and light. 🌾
We've been watching old episodes of Foyle's War lately. The grim rationing situation of the 40s and 50s is a reminder of how much the UK suffers without mass food imports. There are 20 million more people now, too.
“I threw those two creeps out on their ass! Then they followed me home, beggin’ me to take a test drive. And let me tell you, talk about roomy. The Rivian combines the smooth handling of a European sports car with the rugged drivability of a sturdy 4×4.”
