"Bluesky is dying" bro you're talking about a website full of 38 year olds who have fringe political beliefs and listen to black metal bands with >1000 listeners on spotify, nobody here cares about popularity

Actually wrote about this earlier this year. 1960 Mizzou’s case.

Senate Press Gallery@senatepress.bsky.social · 3w ago

By unanimous consent, the #Senate agreed to S. Res. 833. Recognizing the 1960 University of Missouri Tigers Football team for its undefeated regular season, orange bowl victory and claim to the 1960s National championship.

society if we understood the difference between “no one is allowed to ask these forbidden questions” and “people keep asking these stupid questions and getting answers they don’t like”

ACAB includes Sting

as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

If, at 13 years old, your kid isn't obviously the best player on their team and utterly smoking other kids in their age group, it's not worth your $5k a year and you are getting played. If you have ever been unsure whether your child is the best player on the field, stop spending the money.

at some point, you gotta ask if it would have been better if they'd put the money they put into the pay-to-play into a 529 instead.

I will not watch Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey for woke reasons. Specifically I cannot stay awake for a three hour movie

Watched a BMW drive straight into a retractable bollard trying to sneak into a restricted area behind a bus and it was very satisfying.

I have had to catch like two train connections in France and now I know what the German generals must have felt like at the start of WWI. Timetables are stressful.

It's a great morning to be in a playoff position in the MLS standings. #allforcity

After watching the USMNT crash out of the Men's World Cup, it is useful to remember that the dominance of the USWNT in the Women's World Cup is 100% because of Title IX. The "American Greatness" Gang are willfully dismantling something that produced that same Greatness.

After targeting trans sports under Title IX for the past 4 years, the Heritage Foundation is now turning to destroying it for all women. It wants to replace women's varsity sports with yoga and "protect women's fertility" by ending many athletic opportunities. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We might have lost in the World Cup but my daughter wanted to watch the game with me and then kick the ball around outside after so in the end it was a win.

So any CITY transfer rumors out there? My next few weeks calendar just cleared up.

First half hydration break was apparently nothing but mezcal.

I feel like for a long time there was this debate about international soccer being of worse quality than club soccer and therefore an inferior product. What a grave misunderstanding of this sport and to an extent, the world

Chaos!

Maximum chaos at the Azteca.

Was watching the France game on the 4th with some boomers who were at a friends house. None of them care about soccer generally and spent a good amount of time making fun of the diving. But they were also all in, had been watching all the games and were attracted to the stories.

Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · 2mo ago

i’ve never experienced a collective enthusiasm and fun like this month of the world cup. just consistently blown away how universal the enjoyment is and how deep people are plunging down the rabbit hole. doesn’t matter who i’m with or where i am everyone’s locked in and it rules

Basically everybody on the field is balling out. Bellingham, Saka, Mora, Raul, Quinones.

This is going to be one of those game then.

McKennie and Big Bird are a good match. Both the backbone and unsung hero of the show.

Ella Brockway@ellabrockway.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I believe the charming nature of this USMNT x Sesame Street crossover promo influenced the match result tonight

Really not a good World Cup for the low countries. Dutch, Belgians and Germans all out.

Was literally explaining yesterday to my wife how there is no offsides in your own half, then Mexico score this goal to illustrate the point.

MEXICO GOLAZO

Glad the MLS transfer news is starting to heat up. Looking at you @stlcitysc.com

They should put hydration breaks in the middle of the overtime halfs.

Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT.

Honestly cant get over them signing the thing at Versailles. Irony subtext are dead.

Uruguay flag is the best.
