i dont think yall understand how hard it is to get a compliment out of our mama. her highest praise is usually "decent." a few days ago i sent her pictures of an almond french manicure and she said "why are they so pointy." for something to be GOOD? ENJOYED? LOVED?! unheard of. go read the article.

as a former striker and midfielder i feel like every team should be allowed one (1) offside goal per tournament if its only a litttttttle bit off. and if it's a particularly good goal, style points should cancel out the offsides. some goals should be allowed to stand!

my spanish is decent but not at the level where i can understand 100% of what the world cup commentators are saying. nevertheless, i think i'm gonna go back to watching in spanish anyway bc i am SO tired of all the comparisons to other sports listening to argentina/austria in english on fox

sometimes i decline because a topic is too far outside my wheelhouse and i wouldn't do it justice. invited reviewers aren't always a good fit for a manuscript, even if the editors think otherwise. and when they rightfully decline, they shouldn't be penalized for the editors' misguided judgment

@thejop.bsky.social announces the right to refuse consideration of manuscripts of those who have declined to review 3+ times. Careful who you co author with!

i would like to know what everyone with floor seats does for a living, their net worth, and how many crimes (financial or otherwise) they have committed. put those stats up on the screen too, as a little treat
