Maine, you have a choice: A Senator who helps Donald Trump hurt Maine and then tells us how concerned she is or somebody who will stand up against him before another family in Maine has to pay the price. I owe the people of Maine everything and tonight I'm asking for your vote.

didn’t he just appear on stage with a noted yankee fan and fascist? find me a bostonian or #redsox fan who wants him redeemed. not even twelve-year-old me would.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Trump's opponents cannot simply wave away that existence; this does not mean he is more popular than he appears to be, but it does mean that he has support that is genuine, committed, and non-artificial, and there is no easy answer to that problem other than denying them power through politics

one that i blocked and squirted in sucked but the rest were cannons from close range. somehow in the second half i turned into an nhl goalie on a heater and made like 10 saves, maybe two with my hands. i would have liked to have been in the field and marked their most obnoxious player though.

our opponents had a core of players who did not belong in c-league and played like assholes. who went quickly up 4-0 and brayed for more. except then we somehow cut it to 4-2. i was in goal the whole game eating shit for the team. i had very little chance on any of them…

to be clear, full credit to seattle for game planning them well—start physical to knock them off kilter (surprising more teams don’t catch on to that, it has worked since the heaps era), and trust your defense. different game if #nerevs have more attacking bite before the half though.

3-0 flatters seattle who defended outstandingly and countered perfectly, but im beginning to think #nerevs might be screwed without fofana, yusuf, and harrison.

i got caught upfield for one after recycling the ball for a chance turned into a jailbreak. unlucky. some really tidy passing, a few fuckups under pressure. three good shots on goal. should have scored or assisted on the last. oh well. we won 5-4 and the cold weather speed is here.

rob c. @rcolonna.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
went up 3-0, then down 4-3, against a team that was dramatically younger and faster than us. a couple of those were cannon shots from distance, one was an impossible angle. whatever. but we cleaned it up, and resumed pressuring them in the midfield and it paid off.

incidents on the bike exist on a continuum between | daily unpleasantries <------------> actual danger | this one was in that sweet spot just shy of actual danger, the spot where i can make a dramatic escape and a big scene with the finest profanities & gestures for all to enjoy. close one, though.

and you try to be respectful of their momentum; if i see one slow for me on foot or on bike, i try to clear their way sooner, because it is a hell of a thing to start and stop. but you know, the default still has to be 'stop'.

one of the underrated joys of riding the seaport daily is getting to interact with 18 wheelers in the city. today i nearly interacted with one head-on because either they didn't see me as they hurled into their left turn, or they did see me and couldn't waste $9 diesel by lightly tapping the brake.

one of my kid's spelling words this week is 'draft', so when asked to write a sentence with it, he lazily suggested "I went to Draft Kings." we revised it to "I see a lot of ads for Draft Kings but I don't know what it is." in summation, every day is a good day to ban online sports betting.

i played a half in goal tonight and made two whole saves. on the second i smashed my pinky out of joint and went to feel it and found it very crooked indeed. anyway as play went on i was trying to flex it, then it suddenly went back into joint. reader it was the most amazing feeling. but we lost.

A digital illustration based on a scene from the German Expressionist silent film Metropolis (1927). What we see is a robot woman seated in a chair, colored in gradated maroon shades. She's a shiny brass color in a sculptural art deco style staring implacably or incomprehendingly outward. Two sockets on either side of her head and many such other sockets on the chair have wires leading away out of frame. The background, colored in shades of blue is divided into radial sections with lightning bolt edges. (All these colors are purely notional as the source material is all black and white.)Around the chair and the robot are four sets of equally-spaced concentric triple rings or some sort of energy or electricity. Riding the top edges of these rings is jaggedy, electric lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration of Max Headroom, a shiny, fast/talking electric man who lived inside a TV who we all liked in the 80s. He has a very tall head with an odd stripey blond hair cut and a goofy grin. He’s wearing white wayfarers and a shiny white, wide shouldered jacket over a lilac colored shirt and black bow tie. The background is intersecting colored perspective lines sort of forming the idea of a box. Colorful type following the perspective of the walls reads ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’.

my first game over fifty. we didn’t steal a win shorthanded against a younger better team, we earned it cleanly with scrappy goals on the counter and frustrating their offense. it’s so nice when you just know your presence is fucking them up without even touching the ball.
