As children many soccer supporters would get a Panini World Cup sticker book. This became a tradition for many. Trading and swapping stickers was community building and great fun. Football grounds often had swap days for kids as events. It was all relatively simple, buy packs of stickers...

The timing of Vancouver on the eve of hosting eye wateringly expensive World Cup 2026 games whilst the reality of its MLS franchise being sold to Las Vegas is crystallizing paints such an amazingly gross encapsulation of modern football. The "people's" sport has lost the plot. #VWFC #MLS #WC26

kinda wild how voice assistants were so bad for so long it collectively lowered people's expectations of software that "works" enough to prepare the soil for an incredibly inconsistent but sometimes useful new technology to gain enough adoption to get good

It's absolutely absurd that the Vancouver Whitecaps are potentially missing 18 of their 25 man squad yet are still lined up to play the Seattle Sounders in an MLS competitive match this evening.

People are rightly tearing this apart, but it seems to me that the bigger picture is that it's the next step in a chain of logic that leads to "a war will help revitalise both our depressed economy and our aimless young men."

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

It looks like the cover of a cheap 1970s sci-fi paperback called something like The Vanguard Projection, about a crazy emperor who's ravaged his entire planet to build a psychic machine that can send evil thoughts to everyone in the whole universe at once.

538 getting shut down on the day when they show that Trump's approval rating has now fallen into negative territory is suspicious timing. With 538 gone, it will be easier for Trump to pretend that he's popular and what he's doing is popular.

The golden gear is from the German Labour Party, a unit of the NSDAP, which was the only legal “union” left after 1934 when the SA ransacked Weimar union offices and dissolved them all. This isn’t a dogwhistle, it’s a slap in the face, a dare. We need to get this Nazi out of our government.

This, in addition to conflating pleasure of consumption with difficulty of production. Of course engaging art—even if challenging —is tied to pleasure. Creating art? Is labor. Pleasure may not even factor into it at times. That process can be arduous at times. So ppl give up when it’s frustrating.
