My spouse stays at home by choice and vocational call and we are both in support of free day care because we know how hard it is to raise your kids and everyone should have the choice of easily accessible child care.

This movie is going to be brilliant. Terribly upsetting, super uncomfortable, and utterly brilliant. A must see for every millennial.

Can overturn it into a turnover but not call the blatant face mask penalty that causes the turnover? Sure thing. Just gotta protect UW.

Real athletes want to compete. Picking on trans athletes is a way of trying to get extra privileges from the patriarchy it has nothing to do with competitive balance.

The whole "issue" of transgender girls/women participating in sports is so ridiculous and such a complete encapsulation of everything that's wrong with our patriarchal society. Notice there's no issues with folks who've transitioned the other direction...

Yes please? Then the Sounders wouldn't be contract locked on our 3 dps who aren't really dp level in MLS 2026 (also, then maybe ownership would actually spend some cash?!? Perhaps wishful thinking...)

This is a good framing for the moral implications present in The Odyssey. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and the spectacle of it and think it is a true achievement in filmmaking.

The Interpreter (2005) starring Nicole Kidman. We went to A LOT of movies in the theater in High School (not to mention rented a ton more) and this is the only one that was truly utterly irredeemably boring. My friend shouted out somewhere in the middle "when is it supposed to get good?"

Even if you had doubt before this tournament: Messi clearly the GOAT. Two Assists in this semi-final, and clearly the orchestrator of the entire attack for Argentina. To go with an already legendary career of 20 years of world cup play.

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

That 2014 team was so fun specifically because they played with such heart and energy, knowing full well they were often outmatched but not caring. They were a team that fully embodied xDAWG.

It definitely feels like this was a great opportunity for the USMNT but also the game on Monday was the first in the tournament they weren't outright favored to win and perhaps they performed exactly as expected. So what comes next?

I'm ashamed she is my representative. She does not stand up to protect the vulnerable. She does not represent the best interests of her constituents and definitely does not speak for residents of the state of Washington. Also, no one in our region expects their daughters to get sports scholarships.

I hate all crowd shots in sports, especially close in on randos or celebs, while the play is live. Just let me watch my game in piece, I'm already aware I have way less money then them, I'm not in the stadium.

Did it. I'm out. Wilt from 60s is a bit of a cheat code, especially when it's the first pull. LeBron is crazy too because he can play all 5 positions. I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? Play 82-0: www.82-0.com/share?id=v13...

Watching the most recent episode of top chef and am pissed about the quick fire. They completely desecrated the point of this show for a stupid internet crossover and then didn't judge people for their own food. It was a crappy cooking comp stunt, it was not top chef caliber.
