The banner feels like life...which hurts. A lover of books, a laugher at life. Only way to survive. I follow the Portland Timbers (#rctid) and #MLS, generally, and I swear the #music stuff is coming. Thinking this time...
All I want is one asshole’s head on a pike (metaphorically). At least to start. Will take more if and as they come available.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 43m agoFIFA said Wednesday it had apologized for errors made over Gianni Infantino’s failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and that senior staff in attendance at a summit held in Morocco “reaffirmed their full support” for his presidency.
Anyway, Karl Rove mentioned, so I need to share this comedian's bit about working at Fox News: www.youtube.com/shorts/z76kW...

“In Utah, a woman used a tampon to set fire to the church where her wedding was to take place the following day; and in Detroit, a nude man crashed his car into a church after claiming to be Christ.” Every now and then I think about skipping Harper’s Weekly Review…

#LeaguesCup for fun: CIN 3-1 PAC Oussama Idrissi looked strong early, but Evander equalized on (yet) another banger, Pavel Bucha is on one in 2026 (more on O than D?), and Ramirez and Echenique prowled up and down Pachuca’s right. Looked solid/good for #FCCincy #MLS more?
This is nice. Taking every W we get in the times. Good night. #Musicsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=PzJz...

David Roberts@volts.wtf · yesterdayDon't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
I'm back on these threads for a minute. Almost skipped this one because his presidency didn’t last a year (1881). James A. Garfield (1831-1881; 😳), the U.S. 20th president, was most famous as the second to be assassinated. But who was he and what’d he do? (1/9) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A...

CNN@cnn.com · 2d agoThe US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
Weird phrasing, but I’m still hoping these are the changes I have pined for since the mid-90s. Am I expecting disappointment? Yes. Yes, I am. #MLS

My subconscious has had me on a lot of missions lately, tracking someone down, infiltrating this or that. It even handed me a special assignment last night. Sadly, I was diverted to “finding golf balls duty” before it started. Good morning. #Musicsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=6heY...

Grotesque, sad and evil and, for the hundredth time, ICE gets caught lying about a criminal record. Burn the agency to the ground, make all these shitty men unemployed and live out their days in fear of going to prison.

Struck by how rarely you hear or see any political figure talk about climate change this bluntly.
Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3d ago“The climate emergency kills,” he said on Monday. “And that’s why it’s not enough to address the consequences, which we do; what we have to do is reduce its causes, anticipate its effects, and, consequently, better prepare our country to protect people’s lives.”
One under-appreciated point: Schmetzer’s not used to doing this, talking about what’s falling apart. The “what goes around comes around” thing tells you it’s deeper under his skin than he’s trying to let on. And the Sounders absolutely did lose that game 2-0… #rctid
Cal Bluechel@calbluechel.bsky.social · 4d agoBrian Schmetzer was asked if Saturday night could push the #Sounders into panic. He adamantly denied panicking, but his venting of frustrations included a bizarre aside about the Timbers Army tifo:

The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.

“Last year, [FIFPRO, the global players union] recommended that playing seasons be capped at around 55 matches; this came in the wake of a growing group of elite players exceeding 69 or 70 matches in a single season.” Intriguing li’l nugget & agood idea. ($ site) newrepublic.com/article/2137...
