I am shooting my shot.

I love writing op-eds.

@teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you.

ooo... just like the NFL!
In addition to flipping the calendar, MLS is apparently planning to move to five divisions so you’d play your own division twice (10 games) and the other 24 teams once. Playoffs would be determined by a single table.
MLS owners are *expected* to vote on flipping to fall-spring calendar at Thursday's BOG meeting. Changes to competition format also expected.

Let's see if it actually comes to a vote, but implications are enormous.

Exclusive details with @tombogert.bsky.social:

Just some meaningless sales nonsense to check some boxes that they met some criteria for making tickets available to the masses
Fans with "right to buy" World Cup ticket tokens have a Thursday deadline to act.

There's just one problem: they haven't been told how much tickets will cost, but the least-expensive tickets are hardly available, leaving those impacted feeling scammed.

This is an example of the bipartisan Boomer mindset. It's a literal example of the "wait until it's your turn" us Gen Xers have been living under since we've been teenagers.

It's a silly name just from the jump. But, even more. Think about it - it's a soccer club named after another sporting event. It could be cool if it was spinning out of an already existing organization. 🤷🏽‍♂️

BUT.... now I'm holding out on my dream of a return of fringe on soccer kits!

I mean they *should*, but this has been a recycled narrative since (at least) the second Obama election.

But they went all in on bigotry and authoritarianism. And now they control everything with no apparent responsibility for their highly illegal and massively damaging actions.

So why change now?
“.. Republicans are hardly going to admit it, but they should evaluate whether Trump’s push to ignite a redistricting arms race may have made it easier for a blue wave to wipe out more Republicans than if they had left their maps alone.”

Oh look. They are still doing the thing the shutdown was supposed to stop.

Who knew? Golly gosh. Those silly Republicans! See you at the Capital Grille for a nice chuckle about it!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
