Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

wow loving the new major Svelte release

pretty sure the Scotland FA is not just sitting around between World Cups waiting for phone calls from state senators inviting them to made-up soccer tournaments, but go off

"NO SOCCER NO PARTY": Should Mass. keep the World Cup party going with a new international soccer tournament? The Legislature is considering it, including an invite for Scotland. on.nbcboston.com/K3DrIY8

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. They want you to be apathetic. Don’t be. | Will Bunch

Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

Fwiw I have found myself subscribing to even more journalism and newsletters largely in the belief that simply reading long text documents now gives you a simple and definitive advantage in the world

not saying any of that falls on the shoulders of Pochettino but you do wonder what made it worth the 400% salary bump over his predecessor for the same result as WC22

all social media platforms should implement a “filter usmnt takes from people who hadn’t watched a game before last month” button

I wrote about Partiful, the event invites app, and the cloud over it that the company can’t seem to shake: Its founders background working for Palantir. Gift link: www.theverge.com/report/96063...

What is Partiful selling?

A Palantir-shaped shadow follows the event planning app.

Incredible work by Ronaldo to become the first person to score at six World Cups but exit the tournament having severely dented his (on-field) legacy anyway

I think this is happening

can’t stand Tuchel or England at large, but damn if giving that team the blueprint of the last 30 years of Concacaf qualifiers (and it working to perfection) wasnt a wonder to behold

on top of all the broso, how nice to have @bostonlegacyfc.com back today. My first time at the Rhode Island stadium, what a facility, justice for the PawSox

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

been waiting 20 years for someone else to show up to the monthly Justice for Mastroeni meeting

Only three previous US presidents would have had occasion to lobby Fifa for the suspension of a red-card ban

idk, hard to believe that this administration would stand up for a guy who’s only on the USMNT thanks to birthright citizenship

The Guardian understands that the White House did lobby Fifa to rescind Folarin Balogun's one-game ban v Belgium: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Lopes Cabral hit that from New Bedford man

this isn’t even a hot take! ignore bluesky weirdos who never even thought about soccer until last week

Jake@brehlol.bsky.social · last mo.

Hot take, national team soccer in general requires a certain level of ignoring your country's politics, thats not limited to the US.

Think Portugal should consider trading Cristiano Ronaldo for Paul George and two firsts

more talk about balogun than ballot box…this is whats wrong with society

Matt Brown@mattbrown.bsky.social · last mo.

Some of you are a little too worried about a RED card in soccer and not worried enough about the ORANGE man in the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if “Country Roads“ is gonna be our soccer song all of a sudden it should be the Twiddle version

that’s two tourneys in a year where Senegal got screwed, unbelievable

I've been tracking the keeper kit colors for the group stage. Only using ROYGBIV categories, because there are different shades. I've decided that Morocco's gk kit is in the spectrum of yellow today, as is Haiti's. Every time the keeper kits have been in the same color category, it's been a draw.
