RBW never really seemed to find his spot between back or midfield. Maybe a good opportunity for him to find a spot in Nashville.
Per sources: Nashville SC is closing on a deal that would send Reed Baker-Whiting to Nashville SC. With depth at Winger/Wingback it makes sense for #Sounders to make this move.
I'm sure new Nashville assistant Chris Little was probably a factor in the club's interest in Reed.

Love it. More teams should be signing young players of the year from lower divisions as a flyer.
We have transferred Mark Bronnik to the Seattle Sounders’ org after Seattle triggered his release clause for an undisclosed fee.
We wish all the best to Mark as his young career develops from here, and thank him for his time with the Owls!

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

We turned our neighborhoods into surveillance panopticons to help Amazon get a foothold in thousands of law enforcement agencies, chiefly because it wanted to cut its annual shrinkage from package theft by a few percentage points.

💙📚 Beautiful. Terrifying. Heartbreaking. Fascinating. Historical details from the mind of a master researcher, but related with a touch so gentle it sometimes stings. I have faced waves I thought mind end me and know that fear. Bacon brings the story alive.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.
