Why what happened?
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm a match between their men’s teams to take place in Atlanta in March 2026.
The match could end an almost 12-year absence for Cristiano Ronaldo from playing football in the U.S.

Seeing countless vibrant, joyful trans people posting selfies and progress pics for Trans Visibility Week is deeply affirming.
Trans people have always existed. They will always exist. Having the bravery to be yourself in public is a revolutionary act.

I'd say I'm not surprised because I'm mostly not, but those numbers are staggering actually.
I've heard the "how long do we need to feel guilty" line from family/friends a lot but for 90% to not even know about British slavery in the Caribbean, wow

'The Stooges' to 'Funhouse' is one I'd throw in the mix here
Good evening Bluesky. What do you think is the sharpest rise in quality between a first album and a second album?
My choice is from "Frank" to "Back In Black" by Amy Winehouse.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies
