Christ on a stick. What the hell kind of crap call was that?

I like the US Men's team home kit, but it seems like they could have done a better job of pattern matching. Once seen and all that . . .
Congratulations to all the winners in the WC today - but man, I hate penalty shoot-outs. It doesn't seem fair to play a team sport for 120+ minutes and then have the decision come down to a one-on-one. My opinion only, but I wish there were a better way.
Editor Dave Perry telling it like it is. Again.

Japan just leveled in the 88th minute! Way to go!
@cwebbonline.com Thought I'd let you know that one of the down ballot candidates in Las Vegas, NV made it past the incumbent! Miguel Dávila, assembly district 15. miguelfornv.com 🎉
miguel for Assembly District 15
City planner miguel dávila is running for Nevada Assembly District 15 because working people deserve better Neighborhoods.

What is it with all the Republicans and finger-pointing? Stabbing the air like it will make what they are saying sound true; sound sane; sound well-reasoned and researched. They all do it. All the time. Do they take some sort of class?
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
I find it fascinating that people dismissing concerns over election rigging/attempts to suspend the midterms go straight to "those people just want an excuse not to vote". Dismissing legitimate concern as hysteria seems disingenuous at best and makes me question their motives.
I wonder if Nathalie Palladitcheff (CEO Ivanhoe Cambridge, Canada) would be open to revoking FOX News lease on 1211 Avenue of the Americas NYC? Might put a hitch in their giddy up.
My sincere wish this holiday season is that when this rabid administration is finally brought to justice they are all - all - forced to wear shock collars while awaiting their turn at the bench. That every lying utterance and every foul spew is met with a painful zap.
I used to be a fairly nice person. Didn't wish harm on others, didn't grave-dance (all that kind of thing). Rarely used the term hate' unless it was describing hateful behavior by others or cruciferous vegetables. I am not that person anymore. They have killed the angels of my better nature. 🤬
This is a solid small charity that has raised funds to provide a little holiday warmth to over a 1000 folk over the past three years. Help if you can (very cute cards - or you can just donate a little, if that's how you roll).

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 10mo agoSo they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc
Glad to read this - because this I understand. It's been common practice for a very long time. Setting up a base on US soil was too bizarre to believe.
@theapocryphon.bsky.social · 10mo agoYes, it's on an existing installation. The same base hosts a detachment from Singapore. And the possibility of the Qatari arrangement was (apparently) discussed back in 2022. I despise Kegsbreath, but I don't think this sets up a foreign military base in the US. taskandpurpose.com/news/qatar-m...
Since each house of Congress makes its own rules - and they do that only to their benefit - can the states impose rules on their elected members that would trigger an instant recall election if they don't do their jobs - or switch party once elected or the other nonsense they do?
Remember when Robert Byrd would pull out his pocket copy of the Constitution? He wasn't perfect, but he certainly understood his professional relationship to that founding document. I could go for some Constitutional "Red Card" action right now.
Today I checked the status of Capt. Wayne C. Irsch, the USAF officer whose MIA wristband I wore daily for over 25 years and still look at every day. His plane, piloted by Col. Norman M. Green, crashed in Laos in Jan 1968. Capt. Irsch is still listed as Unaccounted. You are remembered.
I regularly boggle at Trump's insane screeds - but this one is terrifying. I'm with Mr. Elias all the way. We cannot play tit-for-tat. We have to snuff out this wildfire consuming our democracy.
Speaking as an old crone - I am so sick of these frowsy MAGA females with the beachy waves and evening make-up pretending they know ANYTHING. Even the few with some modicum of education. The administration is churning them out of some factory somewhere.
Over 100 million Americans live with medical debt—disproportionately affecting people of color and low-income families. Medicare for All ends surprise bills and medical bankruptcies, letting families focus on healing, not collections. #DebtFreeHealthcare #HealthJustice #MedicareForAll
Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC
Great ad - and Mr. Turek looks like a great candidate to toss Ernst out of office. Do it, Iowa!!
Josh Turek@joshturek4iowa.bsky.social · 12mo agoI was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
