Obviously haven’t been there in 5+ years but Doyle’s articles would do 7x the pageviews of what we considered a standard piece. He’s what brought people to the site. Know there’s still hardworking people there doing their best but this is the final nail in the coffin of the old MLSsoccer.

REPORTER: Families are upset because warnings didn't go out in time. What do you say to those families? TRUMP: Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

What a summary of the anti-trans movement: March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000
The Fencingtracker.com page for Stephanie Turner, who competed in a mixed gender foil event on 3/23 and finished 8th of 32 competitors The video shows Turner taking her position on the fencing strip-blade ready, uniform on— only for her to toss her mask aside and take a knee. Sullivan approached her, thinking she might be injured, and asked if Turner was okay.
"No," Turner recalls telling Sullivan. "I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man."
The video of Turner and Sullivan went viral after it was posted to Twitter on April 2 by the Independent Council on Women's Sports
(ICONS), a far-right organization which aligns itself with known hate groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom. It is not immediately clear how ICONS first acquired the video, but it catapulted Turner into the national anti-trans media ecosystem.
Less than a week after the post, the XX-XY Athletics Fund-the non-profit arm of an anti-trans clothing brand by the same name— dubbed Turner a "Courage Wins Champion," awarding her $5,000 and mentorship through a
"leadership program."

The Republican Party is more or less built on reactionary opposition to the Democrats policies rather than their own actual policy ideas, and unfortunately the Democrats’ most recent policy was “having a strong economy”

So Justin Trudeau is now saying the tariffs have been paused for 30 days as they implement a new border plan. Basically, after the markets freaked, Trump backed off of the threats while Mexico and Canada essentially promised to do things that they were already doing.

AB is charging $5 more per keg. however, this makes no sense when you look at the data: over 300 kegs can fit in a single truck that pays a $21.60 charge. that’s 7 cents per keg, or $0.0006 per pint of beer, and not including labor or gas savings. AB is actually just price gouging.
