The Sounders lost 8 straight. Then they drew 5 straight. Now they've won 3 straight. Very normal league.

The richest man in the world expressing ever-stronger support for white supremacy SHOULD be understood as a profound political crisis. But our political and media system continues to discredit itself by carefully avoiding any fact it cannot sufficiently normalize.

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

This is the reported $100,000 fee on Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows foreign students to remain for a couple years in post-graduate employment. The fee would devastate the program, making the US even less desirable as a destination for the world's best and brightest.

There was a lengthy article in the New York Times yesterday about how men who had lived almost their entire lives in America were being shipped to foreign prisons with no due process and held in conditions so severe they almost died from hunger striking, and it didn’t even make a ripple.

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Universal healthcare is a wildly popular centrist position. It is also a pro business position as it boosts labor market dynamism and removes what for most firms is a non core operation and cost. Asking how it will be paid for in a system as rife w/ inefficiencies as the US sort of misses the point

Don'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.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

the story of jonah and the whale ends with jonah pissed at God for forgiving the people jonah had been sent to call to repentance. Jonah got so hung up on the fire and brimstone that the good news didn’t seem all that good. many such cases, even outside of theology circles.

So, VAR steps in to give Embolo a second yellow because the referee made the wrong decision in the first place to book Paredes? If it was just a foul, not a yellow, it’s not reviewable. Pure insanity. Game’s gone. Less VAR man. For the love of god

Lorenzo Salgado lived here longer than I’ve been alive, married to his wife of 30 years. Worked a blue collar job building houses to put his three kids through college. A real American and the kind of man they tell you you’re supposed to be. Fascism is so perverse.

This is basically where I'm at too: large swaths of finance, business, media, Middle East govts, and other powerful circles went all-in on Trump—even if some still tell themselves they didn't—so they're now doing a Wile E. Coyote "don't look down" to avoid reckoning with it for as long as possible.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Gonna be some "Belgium is that good" talk and you don't have to fall for these lies. USMNT fell head first into a trash can here, Belgium just accepted the win that was there to accept. Didn't need to get out of 2nd gear.
