I go places and write things - about history, about football, about other stuff. New book - "The Way Back Home: Wandering the Renaissance & Reformation of the First Flemish Anabaptists" (Pandora): https://a.co/d/fcSMuxu
I moved these clowns to spam, but this one was worth checking out. The Oval Office lapdog is desperate! Now don't let him get away with it. Infantino has to go. (Had to go 2+ years ago tbf.)
My parents are on holiday in Norway. My mom, uninterested in news from home, is only concerned with how Trey pitched on Wednesday and what might happen before trade deadline. Love you too, Mom.
The boycott came two months too late, but well done on UEFA.
#sportswashing I enjoyed the World Cup (not the last 20 minutes of that semi-final though 😢). But it should never have taken place in the US, and @julesboykoff.bsky.social put forward a solid argument as to why not A relatively short, but good, read on why FIFA probably needs abandoning now ⚽️
Quite a bit of fun with 2 outs for the Blue Jays. 2025 vibes.
Absolutely fascinating to see people learning about the Sea Peoples and Bronze Age Collapse after watching a movie. This is one of many such positive, indirect outcomes of The Odyssey. (So, Bible-readers, we ready to have a chat about the Philistines?)
Counterpoint: Ignoring it entirely (JOMO) has left me more financially secure than at any point in my life.

Descaling and rinsing my coffee apparatus like the grown-up I am.
Never do this country again. This is a fucking abomination.
Spain-Argentina is the right World Cup Final, as well as a clash of contrasting styles. From me: www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/colu...
Opinion: Poise versus passion for historic World Cup final
All things considered, and despite the howls of partisan rivals and conspiracy theorists, Sunday’s World Cup final is probably the right World Cup final, and for all the right reasons.

Harry Kane saying holding on is "not good enough at this level" is a not-so-subtle dig at Thomas Tuchel.
Konsa AND Burn seems a bit much. But you knew what you got when you appointed Tuchel.
Infantino with a line straight to the referee's headset.
Elliot Anderson has been everywhere, doing anything. Phenomenal player. Shame about his employment choices.
Enzo Fernandez is not going to last the 90 at this rate.
Elliot Anderson has been elbowed in the back of the head, and Jude Bellingham has taken a shot from Alexis Mac Allister. We've played 3 minutes.
