Much like real Bushido, poster's bushido is a post facto romanticization of an earlier era of uncontrolled conflict, constructed by the inhabitants of a more centralized system to justify their own pretensions.

Yes, adopt the calendar of a region with no continental climate
After years of debate, MLS will switch to a European-style calendar in 2027.

The move will create ripple effects for teams, transfers, rules, and TV audiences.

So...what now?

For @backheeled.com, I break down the biggest questions facing MLS post-schedule shift ⤵️
The biggest questions about MLS’s now-approved calendar change: Transfers, roster rules & TV viewership
Just what kind of impact will switching to a fall-to-spring calendar have? And what other changes will accompany it?

it’s good this happened and it’s another reason the death penalty should not exist. this never should’ve had to come down to a last minute decision by a governor. we suck at the death penalty, get rid of it

The Tenth Charlie Cale is when the series gets really timey-wimey.
Absolutely wild. I could understand POKER FACE being too expensive for Peacock to want to continue it, but the idea of losing Natasha Lyonne in the lead role and replacing her with Peter Dinklage makes it such a profoundly different show. I mean, he's great, but Charlie is the heart of the series.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Kurt Vonnegut's passage about Armistice Day in "Breakfast of Champions" always hit hard.

He wrote this to make sure everyone knew what we lost when we changed the name of the holiday to Veterans' Day.

As much as I find common cause with my more radical friends I (reluctantly) oppose the hardline proposals to summarily incarcerate every ICE agent. I urge everyone to consider the centrist compromise of abolishing ICE
Veteran ICE officials @nickmiroff.bsky.social spoke with view the use of masks as an unquestionably negative development. But it’s not going away anytime soon, Miroff reports: https://theatln.tc/acMM0axK

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

What a bunch of scumbags
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

RFK Jr wants your kids to die, suffer, or somehow be stronger for it while all their family and friends suffer and die
First RFK Jr. wanted to take fluoride out of water and has had some success in Republican jurisdictions that think scientific evidence is for chumps.

But that wasn’t enough harm for him, so now he’s restricting kids’ access to fluoride supplements.

People should use their SNAP benefits for whatever they think they need. Both because any effort you make to micromanage purchases is inefficient and cumbersome and because people who need help aren’t obligated to perform for or satisfy others in order to eat.
