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.
In a historic first, USL owners have voted to adopt promotion and relegation, sources tell @theathleticfc.bsky.social.
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.

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.
