Germany punched their ticket to the World Cup with authority, today, beating Slovakia 6-0 in Leipzig! After starting qualifiers with a disappointing 2-0 loss away to Slovakia, they seem to have come full circle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene to Dana Bash: "You should have Nick Fuentes on your show"

Nobody better fall for this shit.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I didn’t realize that @fcstpauli.com’s Daniel Sinani was a Luxembourg international, but he was one of the better, more dangerous looking players against Germany, today. #LUXGER #UEFAWorldCupQualifiers #Bundesliga

I am often reminded of this David Graeber quote:

“The ultimate, hidden truth of this world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”

Like, on a daily basis.

I’ve never seen auroras this red! It’s more vivid on camera, but still really vibrant to the naked eye.

This is a great jersey, but $200!? 😟

Wasn’t a bad way to end my day, to be honest.
Might I suggest an eight minute cover of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” to start your day? tinyurl.com/46uhjztz

The Replacements briefly covered "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on Oct 15, 1985, the first gig of a 5-night homestand at the 7th Street Entry, opening with a song off their new album "Tim"—"Lay It Down, Clown"—and this was next. Video image is the Entry + the Fitz

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
