Must buy when in duty free…

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a Pavlova Tuesday…

One of the world's smallest countries has a new name. Naoero, the island in the South Pacific formerly called Nauru, wanted its name to more closely match how it is said in the language spoken by its people.

Pizza Helsinki style

I got salty about AI bullshit because it's all such bullshit, so here is me being very mad and probably not very clear about how mad it makes me. Do with this as you will. *kicks rocks*

You Cannot Use One Bullshit Machine To Catch Another Bullshit Machine

I really fucking hate AI right now. I really fucking hated AI yesterday and the day before, too, though I think the hate is growing faster and hotter, like a sun about to explode and consume the ga…

What if we actually just did something about the guns instead so that maybe schools could spend their limited and precious budget dollars on higher teacher salaries and actual education instead of anti-shooter technologies?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last wk.

Some schools in Florida, Georgia and Colorado will be equipped with drones this year that can go through halls, smash windows and pepper-spray active shooters if teachers report a threat. The program follows a wave of high-tech campus security spending. https://wapo.st/4gVNMXn

I wanna be friends with this person (bonus points for the Jollibee license plate frame just outside the image)

Sharing this picture of Maddie will increase the Sounders win percentage by 1%* *not a guarantee, consult your doctor before posting.

Why do people think it’s ok to ask a complete stranger to watch their belongings in public? I’m not responsible if someone takes your shit, take it with you.

Guy waiting in the ferry terminal talking to his son: you know back in the day if you were a little bit over the limit but just down the street from home they’d look the other way and just let you go home and now if you’re even just a tiny bit over you’re in jail and that’s crazy…

I never knew that you had to pay for tickets to sit in the grandstands for the Torchlight parade. Also, the price range for said tickets is $60-100 🥴

I’m 100% over our defenders not closing down space faster. Sure, let’s just let two guys barrel down into the box instead of slowing them down in the middle third.

Over the past 3 months I read 11 books… 8 of them were Dungeon Crawler Carl. Book 9 needs to come asap.

If you just feed all of the kids you don’t need to worry if the ones most in need are getting fed or not. This isn’t hard, just feed them all.

BREAKING: The Seattle City Council has just voted 6 to 3 to delay the implementation of universal free school meals to fall 2027, and instead fund a new targeted food voucher program for students and families on weekends and school breaks.

😮😮😮 This game averaged a goal every 4 minutes and the longest stretch between goals was 11 minutes

Alrighty then

There’s a summer cold going around the office right now and I leave on vacation in 12 days so of course my throat hurts now 😭

I hope everyone in Seattle laughing about this partnership in Portland goes and reads more about our new ticketing platform for next season… www.jump.com

The Portland Fire and Portland Thorns have partnered with Treasure AI as the “Official Agentic Experience Platform for Both Teams and Marks One of the First Exclusively Women's Professional Sports AI Partnerships in the United States” I’m sure this will go over well with the Portland fan base

Did France watch the Sounders game the other night and say, “yeah, that looks like a good game plan”????

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

I hope everyone has fun filling out their post match surveys from last night

I mean we have like no healthy defenders and just loaned out another. I’m really not surprised by this result.

Really regretting having already committed and paying for my 27/28 tickets earlier today…

Hi Adrian, I’d like a refund for this one, please:

One thing I didn’t miss during the WC break was having to listen to ignorant men rant behind me during the run of play

Hydration breaks do nothing to help with terrible air quality.

Jeff Kassouf@jeffkassouf.bsky.social · 3w ago

Confirmed via #NWSL spokesperson: two hydration breaks *per half* for Gotham v Spirit tonight due to air quality index above 150.

Quick, someone feed Messi some of that lettuce

Anyone else google the new ticketing platform company that the Sounders are going to be using next year? It’s all AI based garbage and very un-tested. They’ve only run just signed their first major client (NC Courage) last year and are currently in-season with them now.

Anyone else been thinking about how we’ve got a parasitic outbreak in produce at the same time farmers experienced a shortage of fertilizer related to the war that stupid asshat went and started for no reason?

I clicked one sponsored ad about Dungeon Crawler Carl merch and now most of the ads in my feed are related to that and I just gotta say I’m not mad. That was a great move by me.

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.
