Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Stranger Things review, no spoilers.
Good ending, execution wasn't perfect but solid enough. As almost exactly the target demo (3-4 years younger than the kids, from a small town with a surprisingly large government presence, still have my D&D books from the 80's/90's) it resonated significantly.

I can’t remember anything specific but I’m sure it was a USMNT “fan” ranting about MLS and/or pushing pro/rel.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

During my week off I took on a project and got Futbology updated with every match I've ever attended
The Rapids season finale in October turned out to be the 300th live match in my life
274 of those matches have been at the Dick, 279 of them have been Rapids matches. I've attended 19 other venues

Soccer version, stumbled into Eric Wynalda sitting half in a car in the parking lot of FC Dallas' stadium holding court on a variety of subjects with a couple of Dallas fans at the 2005 (or '06?) Supporters Summit.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Spent time in a little art gallery on the Road to Hana on Maui with Weird Al. He was just stopping in to get directions to some place he was taking his daughter(?) for a party. We did not interact.

My wife gave me a kit for Christmas for my collection, this year’s USA women’s kit! Perfect timing for next year’s World Cup and probably better looking than whatever Nike will come up with for the men.

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

Oof, the fan survey is horrible. Asking marketing-speak questions about each of the 4 crests the team has used. What does Party vs Battle even mean?

Calling it now. Either the FO chickens out and we stay the Colorado Rapids or we go exactly where they want to go but won’t say because it will “come from the fans” and we finally become Arsenal Colorado, 20 years later.

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

To go semi-conspiratorial, maybe MLS wouldn’t agree to send Messi here unless they played at Empower because of how crappy the facilities are at the Dick now. 😁

In the most MLS trade of all time, Toronto FC traded their first round draft pick to Colorado for a video analyst/assistant coach.
Colorado then used that pick to select a player already under contract at their club for 2026.

Gotta love the Rapids using the 30th Anniversary as their cover for moving the Messi game to make more money while they haven't said a word about this upcoming season being our 20th at the Dick.

Can confirm. Sealey played on both the right and left, but mostly on the right. Dropping $2 million in GAM is no small matter. Wonder if Calvin Harris will be headed elsewhere.
