Attention #PVCF25 attendees:

#BronyTravelTips will not be at @ponyvilleciderfest.com , but I can give tips here.

The first of these is to check your flight status well in advance if you’re coming in either to MKE or ORD next Wednesday or Thursday.

I hate having to ask for help again, but when you're suddenly $10,000 in the red because of a bank garnishment I really don't have much of a choice.

This is why USL D1 will fail.
This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

The excesses of America’s most powerful people “would end sooner if more Americans saw what Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk are doing: ushering in a new era of brazenness that will persist as long as people buy the hype and cheer the flexes,” William Cohan writes.
