You know what’s great? When you meet Bobby Murphy (@heartsofpine.bsky.social) the pasta aisle at Hannaford. Gotta love small town soccer.

If I see one more white dude out here canonizing Kirk I am going to lose it.

We can stand against all gun and political violence without making the guy who spewed so much hatred into a saint. I promise it’s possible.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Hell yes.

The vote will bring pro-rel to American soccer for the first time. Expected to start in 2028 with the launch of new USL D1 league.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Been saying for a while on the other site that this next few years could be massive for USL. World Cup etc. in the US, MLS going behind an Apple TV paywall - USL could become to go-to TV league for casual fans and also attract new local supporters to games.
NWSL and the USL Championship drawing more viewers on network TV than MLS for their respective finals.
Network Television Audiences - 2024 U.S. Soccer Professional Finals
1. #NWSL - 967,000 (CBS)*
2. #USLChampionship - 431,000 (CBS)*
3. #MLS - 427,000 (FOX)

* - Most-Viewed Games in League History

Seems like something to talk about.
