There is always a departure that stings, and Ella is that one this year. Geyse is in a tough spot too.

This is where we are in 2025. A Republican saying Duterte style extrajudicial executions: Bad! is news.

I spent a lot of time arguing with people who seemed to believe that not having a "super team" was somehow a bad thing. The move for Howell, the Shaw trade, the rookie signings. All of them worked.

She hit the ground running Lewis. I watched Sky Blue in person at Yurcak. Hailie Mace signed in Australia to avoid playing for Sky Blue. That is what Yael walked into. A shambles.

Yes, nicely done Jason. I think we chatted after Gotham's hilarious loss to Houston. Even then I had a feeling they would pull it together when it mattered. Particularly after the Shaw trade.

That Phoebe Hoban Basquiat book is terrific. Weirdly delayed audiobook version out next week too for those so inclined.

Asking how many games there are was the chef's kiss. Now that's prep! Well done President Imbecile!

One cannot make up this type of despairingly imbecilic nonsense. I'm *reasonably sure* that someone spending thousands of dollars to come here and watch their national team is *already* "in love with the sport of soccer". Then Grandpa Halfwit asks how many games there are. His brain is dead.

That seems likely. His mother is super involved in neighborhood matters, in a good and welcome way.

There you go David: I had no clue he had run for any kind of office previously, strengthening your point that he was not the best candidate. I'm sticking to my original point though: it was Soren's race to lose. He avoided stepping on the obvious rakes.

Josh is a pleasant fellow with zero political experience and even less name recognition. To me it's a miracle he received as many votes as he did. Soren has had a long time to, how you say, *fine tune* his message. Compare his campaign literature this time around compared to his run against Andrea.

I'll say the same for Frey. At no point did it strike me as even remotely possible that he would lose, despite the near total absence of visible enthusiasm.

We live in Ward 8, across the street from Josh's mom. I don't see anything in your analysis to disagree with but *also* - you are giving people way too much credit. We know ride or die Mpls people who *barely* know who these people are. Name recognition pushed Soren over the threshold, full stop.

That should have been a penalty and a series altering red a few minutes into the first match, but, you know, whatever.

It is genuinely inexplicable that a professional referee could miss such obvious red cards. Kicking a player is a pretty straightforward no-no, and pushing a player in the back on a breakaway removes any possibility of getting the ball so....

I spoke to this gentleman in person many years ago and he was pleasant and reasonable. All those years of tossing Trump's salad have had an unpleasant impact on his personality. Go looking for your soul while you still can Tom.

I'm just coming to this nonsense. I work in the real estate side of finance and it's interesting to me that, apparently, Minneapolis is simultaneously a dystopian hellscape *and* a place where houses in Kingfield still sell for 2 gazillion dollars.

*Also winning the Commissioner's Cup in New York sort of means something if one squints at it in the right light.

As someone who has been to most Lynx home games since the Katie Smith days, I'll never stop thinking of last year with an asterisk. Stewart traveled twice before she didn't get fouled by Smith. That was Byron Moreno level nonsense.

It's weird to see a young player with an idea of himself so out of step with all empirical data. Ramsay was happy to see the back of him at MNUFC, Clark succeeds for a few weeks in Montreal and immediately starts woofing. That turned out to be, how you say, premature.

To me it seemed like the plan was to play Shaw 45 and Esther 45. Which seems reasonable.

I was a freshman in college in 1986. I thought the squat in the film Suburbia was romantic and that Jello Biafra running for president was a splendid idea.
