SLU hosts Dayton in the A10 Final Sunday at Noon.

Dayton held a 10 man SLU to a scoreless draw at Hermann earlier this season. SLU was 24th in the RPI heading into tonight, Dayton was 109th, they'll need to win.

Do I think the Pope looks cool here? I do.

Do I think it would be cooler if he stood up for our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings and smacked around the American Bishops who voted to deny trans care in Catholic hospitals today? Yeah. I do. WAY fucking cooler.
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

As long as City SC has been in the league, I've said it's ridiculous that the team makes six and now seven trips to the West Coast each season for games while playing Chicago once and Nashville, Cincinnati and Columbus maybe once and probably none. A Central Division would do so much for City SC
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.

What are your expectations for CITY’s 2026 season?

For me the expectation is to host a home playoff match or a semi-final/final appearance for the USOC.

Might be demanding a bit much, but 2024 and 2025 were pretty big flops.

And it was on this day, this hallowed day, we all, as a people, agreed to never again say the name Kim Davis, so she could slink back to her normal life, living in a candy cottage, cooking and eating children who took the wrong dark, crooked path through the woods.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

The top four seeds all advanced in the A-10 men's soccer tournament, so it will be SLU vs. Davidson on Wednesday at Hermann. The teams didn't meet in the regular season. The other semi is Dayton at Fordham.

Dayton beats Rhode Island on PKs in the A-10 women's soccer final after a 0-0 tie. Good news for SLU's faint tournament hopes. A Rhody win would have dropped Dayton into the at-large pool, and Dayton has a better resume than SLU (and there was no way the A-10 was getting 3 teams).

2025 has been like that portion of It's a Wonderful Life after George wishes he had never been born and all of a sudden the world is worse for it and everyone is living in Pottersville.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
