Ironic Hyundai evangelist, lover of books, laugher at life.

I follow the Portland Timbers and #MLS, generally, just not in long form. #rctid

Pretty excited for the end of 2025, honestly. Not our best year, globally.

Signing Off Ed., November 23, 2025: So Much Epstein, Even More Evil

LINK: tinyurl.com/yc5cfv3c

A scream into a pocket universe to keep it spilling into here. Covers several topics, most tied to the nature of our weird-ass authoritarians.

But also some genuine evil. Good Lord, these people. (1/3)

Imagine being compared unfavorably to this piece of shit. “Needless to say, Pete Hegseth is no Jim Schlesinger, Marco Rubio is no Henry Kiss...

There’s a video somewhere out there of a marine attempting to assist Trump, hands on his ample ass, into Marine One.

Trying to find that (I did not) revealed a vast sewer of pro-Trump authoritarian porn related to him and that damn helicopter.

Google “The American Redoubt.”

Can’t speak to Tennessee, but West Virginia loves kicking its own ass, so this tracks…

…are these places we would miss if we let them go?

I kid, I kid.

But, seriously, would we?

Never say never and all that, but I don’t see a roster capable of actually competing for silverware, even with a much-improved.

You could, however, sell me on a new coach bringing a more enjoyable game-day experience with a side of barely-rational hope any day.

Was put in charge of an RV caravan touring the country. Had a hell of a time keeping people from swiping the RVs at each destination to run errands, but had no trouble laying down the law and people left quietly when I kicked them off an RV.

Good morning. #Musicsky

The willingness to throw hundreds of billions (not gonna say it), is the saddest form of fan-boying.

They want to believe in his genius out of some desperate hope that its glow will shine on them.

Good night. #Musicsky

They killed it. San Diego killed the energy vampire.

Think this leaves my rooting interest as:

1) Vancouver
2) NYCFC
3) San Diego
4) Miami

Fwiw, I give NYCFC the best shot at stopping Messiami. #MLS
I’m not sure “valiant” is the word to describe what Minnesota’s doing out there...
Oh, thank fucking Christ. San Diego scores.

Now Minnesota has to try to play. Right?

This is like watching eleven dudes shove a rock up a hill, only to see them have to start over again and again when it rolls back down.

More enjoyable in the original, honestly. #MLS

The kids coming home from school with scraps of toilet paper still stuck
to their asses, “Mama” having her quiet time caressing toilet paper alone in the bathroom.

I feel like we know them.

And, that big bear’s shits must be horrific.

What does it even look like when I post a link from Qobuz?

Oh. Right. That’s why I stopped trying. #Musicsky

Quote by “an advisor” to Ohio senator Rob Portman, but the complete abdication of their power by Congressional Republicans feels like one of the biggest stories that no one talks about or confronts them over.

The GOP’s total withdrawal from governing is nearly complete, and they’re increasingly determined to push the entire legislative branch into functional irrelevance.

You know, I never really listened to Pavement. Always knew it was there, so maybe that was the hold up…

My wife was pissed when she couldn’t find this song by searching “there are places I remember” on Qobuz.

Said with love. It wasn’t an unreasonable thing to think.

Are they contractually obligated to say “the greatest player of all time” a certain number of times on #MLS Wrap Up after every game Messi plays?

All that feels like a circus after reports about the preventable deaths that followed from Musk's demolition of USAID surface. The singular pointless callousness of that act would ruin him in a healthy country.

Related, this closes with notes on the swamp that weird prick crawled out of. (3/3)
