Ahh! This explains the new followers. Welcome!

You should listen to @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social where @michaelcaley.bsky.social and I do soccer yammering that’s occasionally about soccer.

Like today when we talked about Euros (the currency) and the Turkish Lira.

Gonna become one of those pseudo bot reply monsters and just start spamming this graph into everybody on this text based social messaging site’s mentions.
Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

It’s funny how when you really get into shutdown debates people with ostensibly left politics start spouting talking points indinguishable from a Musk fanboy with a DOGE hat about who and what the federal workforce consists of.
Got mixed up because in my chapter the women doing this are teachers.

Anyway, nursing licenses aren't portable, 10k nurses are out on strike without pay in NYC, nurse wages are not as high as you think they are and it's a significantly more dangerous job than GS-14 email jobs.
Is a nurse a teacher? No. So why don't you learn to read at an elementary level, and then you can participate with the rest of us.

Secondly. Why does this website all of a sudden believe Republicans will agree to the limited set of reforms Democrats have proposed?
Why does this website now believe that we have the votes to abolish ice this week
Collaborators,

Nothing short of abolition is going to have any effect. You might as well be trying to defend doing literally nothing rather than “best we can do is pass laws that won’t be followed or enforced”

I don’t care if you grow up, down, or sideways.

Grow a spine.

Every morning I wake up and log into this site and see people complaining that Dems have not pushed the make Donald Trump go away button.
Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

Champions League league phase format is 2-2. It’s just unbelievably good box office.

the things to understand here

-Benfica needed to win by 2 to qualify for the knockouts
-up until this last moment they were wasting time and acting like they had no idea a one-goal win did nothing while their fans screamed their heads off at them

Many are saying Benfica

Premier League teams finished 1,3,4,6,8,12 in the Champions League table.

As you do.
Benfica trying to run it up against Real Madrid because they need the goal difference. Just like we drew it up of course.

Justice for double pivot!
just as we said on the @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social preview pods, a draw should be enough for Spurs, PSG and Newcastle

22-29 all have nine points with 20 to go.

I’m mostly paying attention to soccer at the moment. But somehow the bluesky politics posse is talking themselves into being mad at Dems because they aren’t trying to shutdown every part of the federal government, except for ICE which would continue to operate unimpeded.
January 28, 2026 at 9:17 PM
Athletic, Benfica, Brugge, Copenhagen, Napoli all winning.

That is….not a likely set of outcomes.
