ate my child’s leftover cookies last night, as is my god given right as a father. got an upset tummy. told child “my body paid the price for those cookies” when questioned about their whereabouts. she is now repeating “my dada paid for my cookies with his body” to anyone who will listen.

I am, against my will, watching a college a cappella group perform. and we need to either bring back bullying or legalize violence against men in shorts and neckties. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable here.

the one MLS guy left on the team fucked it up. I’d like to point that out. we need to achieve zero MLS guys before we can become a truly competitive soccer nation.

we are mere hours away from a well intentioned liberal poster landing on “I’m only going to root for CAF squads for the rest of the tournament to demonstrate my opposition to corruption in football” as the moral high ground here. it’s gonna be sublime.

You motherfuckers have Will Stancil posting about it now. The absurdity we’re gonna have to deal with now. The dumbest fucking posters on this dumb fucking site who hadn’t even heard of soccer until ten minutes ago gonna reverse polarize themselves into the most absurd soccer takes ever conceived of

the red card was bad. the process for overturning it was worse. if you are an American soccer fan, you can and should still root for the U.S. to beat Belgium. it does not make you a morally flawed person to do so.

at my neighborhood fourth of july event, a brass band plays the national anthem, we’re currently doing a community reading of the declaration of independence. the kids will do a parade on their bikes afterwards. this is the place many would have you believe is some kind of treasonous hellscape.

No matter what the Supreme Court says, No matter how hard the fascists cling to power, we will fight for all our trans community. Sports are integral to youth community and development and cannot be denied to our trans kids.

Big props to Brad Lander on winning his primary. Dude has done the moral thing many times and put his body on the line against ICE. He even came to Minnesota during the ICE Occupation to see the injustice firsthand. It’s nice to see moral courage rewarded by voters.

one of the funniest parts of the Randle trade is watching folks who insisted and were absolutely certain two years ago that Karl could never be the #2 on a championship team now try to talk themselves into the notion that Jaden or Naz might become that. and…guys. come on now.

ARod and Marc Lore are among the poorest NBA owners and certainly the most over leveraged. any analysis of the Randle trade probably needs to start there. it doesn’t make us better, and isn’t intended to. it is meant to make the team cheaper to run, and it’ll do a great job of that.
