Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Long-rumored loan agreement to send F Gonzalo Tapia from São Paulo to the Columbus Crew is finally done, per source. Tapia will fill an international slot but he will not be a DP. #Crew96 GM Issa Tall has a temporary DP slot to replace Wessam Abou Ali (knee) and is looking to fill it in this window.
Nothing says top global league like changing the playoff format every other year.

There is also the added benefit that all Columbus has to do get back at Pachuca for poisoning our boys a few years back is to serve them a single American salad. #Crew96
Yes to this, and also why I struggle to understand transphobic professional female athletes. You think this little of yourself? You think ANY guy can just show up and beat you? This is just garden variety sexism, against yourself?
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”

FFS, typing at a LLM is Not. Research. "Research" implies that you are developing a large body of knowledge, context, and EVIDENCE from which you are developing assertions. LLM output is just gives you an assertion, and it's wrong half (or more) of the time.

I would expect that within the next 24 hours, we will hear that Akhundzada is being loaned out. Where? Probably to a club located somewhere between Izmir and Kars. He needs to play. It is a loan.
If Neriman Akhundzada Is to exit the #Crew96 this transfer window, it would mean add another con line item to the Henrik Rydström experiment. Anyways, that’s the rumor floated by an account that follows Central Asia football.
The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
Milton Valenzuela returns to Columbus this week. He now plays for Atlas. Yesterday he got a red card in a game Monterrey won 2-0. Diego Rossi scored for Monterrey. #Crew96 has its tendrils everywhere.
A better moment to say this would have been any time during the last two years of "pure hell."

Brais Mendez is the 23rd player to score in his #Crew96 debut in all competitions. The first since DeJuan Jones and Dylan Chambost both did it on 8/9/24 in a 4-0 win vs. Kansas City.
Always said that Brais Mendez is what the #Crew96 needed to get a result in Miami .
