Zugzwang.

Jurgen Klopp has said it is "crazy" that the presidents of FIFA and the US discussed Folarin Balogun's one-game ban before the sanction was itself suspended, as has been widely reported.

Imagine caring about Taylor Swift’s wedding right now.

Best game so far being currently played. Cabo Verde!!!!!!!!

Increasingly afraid this will be the summer I dress like Gene Kelly in An American in Paris.

Vozinha may be my new favorite player.

Time to think about footy and nothing but footy for the foreseeable future

Was very excited to watch Braquo, a French crime drama I’ve been after for years, only to find that @amazonprime.bsky.social had, for no discernible reason, made the only audio dubbed into Spanish. Por qué?

Thinking of working on an app for the parents of toddlers that lets you know the best coffee shops where you can also watch construction through the window.

Somehow I didn’t expect motherhood to involve quite so much time watching videos of garbage trucks.

The best part of every Wong Kar-Wei movie is the scene in a restaurant where something devastating gets said but you don’t get to hear it.

Everyone loves Sunday scaries but I like to notch it up with a Saturday spiral.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Not sure that No Other Choice was my wisest option after getting fired, but I sure did enjoy it.

I guess it’s time to watch Satantango again.

Something very full circle about my two-year-old happily dancing to Liz Phair’s “Fuck and Run” after all the times I cried to it.

Now that Udo Kier has died I will have to rewatch The Kingdom because no one has ever played a Danish baby like that man.

I don’t know about other mothers of toddlers, but sometimes it helps to listen to Rage Against the Machine’s Wake Up about fifteen times in a row.

I feel like a yearly mammogram appointment should come with a coupon for a free latte and pastry of your choice.

I admit it, Hey Jealousy always makes me want to cry.

Incredibly powerful words from Pastor David Black.

Dreamed I was driving and there were dozens of raccoons lounging in the road, which can’t possibly be a good omen.

Annoyed that I have lived this long without knowing that Tony Leung is in Hard Boiled.

Nothing worse than when you have no dinner ideas but somebody else’s apartment smells amazing.

Every day, every hour providing a new reason to be absolutely depressed about it all.

Just thinking of what we called doomscrolling a few years ago and what I wouldn’t give for that now.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Turns out the baby was not quite ready for gochujang.

How come I have reached this age without knowing that heated up sweetened condensed milk is the best thing ever?

New unpleasant feeling: jealous to the point of nausea.
