If you've not seen it, this would be a perfect opportunity to watch Sneakers. Redford, Poitier, Dan Akroyd, River Phoenix, David Strathairn. It's just a ridiculously fun caper film.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

If you coach kids, have kids in youth soccer, read this entire thread. If you have sock puppets, come back and repost/ like it multiple times...
I’ve been mentoring several coaches and did a coaching clinic for a club recently and the coaches who have been on the US coaching education path all keep reporting to me that they are getting teaching and advice that seems totally at odds with all the best teaching and advice I’ve ever received.

2) “Realism” is relative and subjective.

For me, I am less concerned about whether an activity “looks” like soccer aesthetically as I am about whether the player actions, behaviors, and decision are realistic, based on what I want to see when they play 11v11.

(And that isn’t hyperbole, I have the receipts)

Oddly enough (well maybe not so odd) I’ve taken multiple courses in Austria and Spain, and earned my UEFA-B in Wales, and never had any problems passing a course.

And I never felt like I had to try and be anyone other than myself in order to do so.

In the US, I struggled in the C license because I didn’t take the above advice. In the end I said “F- it! I’m coaching my way, and if it’s not good enough so be it” In the C it was. In the B it wasn’t. I was failed by a coach whose college team literally couldn’t/wouldn’t string 3 passes together

So many activities, tools, etc. that I have found transformative and effective, tools that you’ll see in use in top soccer countries, are on the “bad” list.

Rondos = bad
Non-directional games= bad
Neutrals= bad
Multi goal games = bad
Conditions and restrictions = bad…..

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

I’d love to see the breakdown of the 120k per match between:

- Local market home/away team fans
- Out of market fans
- The Inter Miami average upwards skew
- Eastern European gamblers running 5 team MLS parlays
This is especially insanely bad when you consider that MLS on Apple TV is a GLOBAL product.
Garber says on Apple TV, MLS is averaging 120k viewers per match

Nothing grinds Tom Nichols' gears harder than this simple fact.
Eventually, every generation realizes the liberals were right.

They were right abt the new deal.

They were right abt the CRA & Medicaid.

They were right abt Vietnam.

They were right abt supply side econ.

They were right abt Iraq.

They were right abt the ACA.

And they were right abt maga.

No matter what age they are, people often say they feel the same as when they were a kid, and wonder when they'll finally feel like an adult. But they never felt like a child - it's simply what it feels like to be alive, to be you, an awareness and nervousness of being.

Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media. But I decided to teach it anyway. So I built a school, instead.

500+ students online and in person.

My first independently operated course and lecture begins TONIGHT!

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

in 2020, these guys who fancied themselves the world's true leaders bore witness to the power of a large-scale social movement so big that it could shift public policy and strip power from them within their own organizations. it undermined their entire sense of themselves and they lost their minds.
