🎉: We almost beat the best team in the world!
😢: We were SO CLOSE to beating the best team in the world and fell short in extra time and penalties!

Lots of positives to take away and Come On You Spurs! #COYS

Any chance a Super Cup win gets us in the Champions League next year? That would be nice.

And then Danso almost got it! Amazing!

Now we need Danso to score to get a center back hat trick! COYS!

Mikey, our savior! COYS!

Watching from the oldest Irish pub in Lisbon (no Spurs supporters group in town). COYS! 🤍💙⚽️

Good try Ritchie!

Lacking rumors (which aren’t worth much) I have to hope that Lange and his team are moving to bring in the #10 we need, whether it’s Eze or someone else. While the right time would have been anytime before now, announcing a signing today would boost spirits, even if it won’t help us against PSG.

Finally finished “Oberon’s Bathtime Stories” recently and it’s amazing stuff. But I just heard about Saint Guinefort and that has to be in a sequel. Please @kevinhearne.bsky.social

Pride, Promenade, & Protests! A great day of community activity in Baltimore. Celebrating the diversity of our community, taking back our public spaces, and solidarity with all of those who are being hurt by our current Federal administration. #NoKings #ProtestIsPatriotic 🇺🇸🚫👑

I usually try to follow Hanlon’s razor and assume ignorance or incompetence instead of malice, but this framing of Trump’s behavior makes a lot of sense when observing what is happening in LA and his dismantaling of American institutions.

4/4

“I think what has been so confusing for so many people, because I tend to think everyone's acting in good faith, is that the Trump folks are treating the EPA and Harvard not as fellow Americans and American institutions that are trying to act for the good of America, but as a defeated enemy.”

“Like when you conquer a society by force, when you defeat another nation in war and you conquer them, you often will destroy the institutions that undergird it to ensure pacification to remain in power and then maybe you rebuild them, but you rebuild them in a form that you like.”

“[T]he way the Trump administration treats many Americans is as a defeated enemy, not as fellow Americans.”

Congratulations! What a match. Up the Dons! 💙💛⚽️

Simultaneously our best and worst season in many years!

Come On You Spurs!

2-1 Spurs with Johnson at the far post

2-1, Odobert

Yikes. The season started ok and now we’re losing to Toronto?

Given out last two European semi-finals, it seems like green kits are good luck for us. Might be worth sticking with it despite tradition.

Individual choices we make (biking to work, picking up litter, buying less plastic/disposable stuff) do help the planet, but it’s our efforts to make structural changes (passing a Bottle Bill, improving the non-driving options for a city, reducing impervious surface) that really bring about change.

Thanks to everyone who made this all possible. More to come!

@tbfighters.org had meetings with representatives from every state in the country today as a part of #TBHillDay and while a few months ago we would have been talking about how to wipe out TB, not it’s about restoring funding and minimizing the damage the cuts will have on health worldwide.

Grateful I got to meet with staff from the offices of @alsobrooks.senate.gov, @hoyer.house.gov, Rep. Kweisi Mfume, and @vanhollen.senate.gov‘s staff today (and briefly with @repkweisimfume.bsky.social himself) about the impact that the funding cuts are having on tuberculosis treatment. #TBHillDay

Cynthia Stout, a history scholar, asserted that by 1900 "one-third of Colorado's population were residents of the state because of tuberculosis." (From Wikipedia - Tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs)

Lived in Colorado Springs during undergrad and never knew its history as a TB colony or that Dr. Quinn was based there.

The cover of John Green’s book “Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of our Deadliest Infection”. Please read this book and advocate for the funding and policy changes to end this desease.

Funding for USAID, NIH, CDC, and other public health programs that help address TB and other infectious diseases cost a penny or two of each $ of federal spending. These cuts don’t help solve the deficit, they put us and the world in a much dangerous situation. Talk to your elected officials.

• 150 million people have died since a cure for TB has existed • 2 billion with latent TB infection globally • 13 million with latent TB infection in the U.S. • 155 million TB survivors in the world (~1 out of 50 people in the world)

TB is a curable disease (and has been for decades) but it kills more than 1.25 million people each year. The cuts to TB funding will result in more drug-resistant TB, more death and misery, around the world and here in the US. We have the power to end this disease and have chosen not to.
