I can take my whole family to most MLS games for less than that. I can get my whole family season tickets to @lansingcommonfc.bsky.social for less than this.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Sometimes it feels weird to spend time on academic research given everything going on in the world right now, but hey, I submitted a revised manuscript today, so here's to celebrating small victories.
absolutely hilarious xG story going on with Wilfried Nancy at Celtic
Listening to @totalsoccershow.bsky.social last week with my 10-year-old was a hilarious experience. It took us 2 hours to get through an hour-long episode because he kept having me pause to add his two cents on every conversation.
I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

Some might say it's incredible the Tigers just won 2/3 against one of the best teams in baseball. I'd say it's perfectly predictable that the Padres just lost 2/3 to one of the best teams in baseball.
Just flew Detroit to Chicago. Pretty sure taxiing from the runway to our gate at O'Hare took longer than we were in the air
There are 6 teams in MLB with winning records against teams above .500 4 of them are in the NL West. Wow
The 2025 away kit is here. Lansing's skyline. The Robin. Our identity. Shout-out to Moneyball for this amazing design. Get yours today! store.lansingcommonfc.com/product-cate...
