As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

With 5-3 victory at shambolic Inter Miami, Chicago Fire ends an eight-year MLS playoff drought — and leaves the befuddled D.C. United organization with the longest rut in the league (six years).

Watched Josh Johnson perform a comedy special last night, made a couple of jokes about Youth Soccer. His set was really funny in general but my weird soccer brain was like "even he identified youth Soccer tournaments in the US are whack and make you really tired for no good reason" 😭

“Any selective admissions process that ignores income, privilege & structural access while targeting race‑based efforts to increase diversity isn’t leveling the playing field. It’s cementing it.”

In 1950, Adorno argues that the authoritarian personality is in part a result of the US treating the news as entertainment.

He says here politics looks boring in comparison to sport, which encourages apathy. Implied is the fact that "entertaining" news is part of authoritarian projects.

Note also that the lawsuit alleges that because race and class are correlated, providing free tuition to lower income students is also racial preference.

Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
