Bluesky is requiring me to verify my age so I guess I’m out. I’m not using a VPN for this goofy place.

Well. It’s been 6 months. The longest 6 months. A part of me recoils when I find myself settling into and even mildly enjoying this new life I’ve built. But Jette would want me happy; they would not want to be the source of my paralysis. So I must embrace what joy comes.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

I mean, they made up a “Peace Prize” for the One Special Boy & held World Cups in Putin’s Russia, after he illegally occupied Crimea, & in stadiums built with slave labor in Qatar, & they seem to have rigged the entire draw to get Messi to the final, so what did anyone expect?

Two things can be true at once: Balogun should not have been red carded AND FIFA shouldn’t be licking the bumholes of heads of state. I knew better than to get invested in a game run by a sports organization more corrupt than the IOC.

When is Operation Slowdown in Texas?
According to TxDOT, the Operation Slowdown campaign will run statewide from July 18 through August 2, 2026.
How to Avoid Getting a Ticket Due to the increased enforcement protocols of Operation Slowdown, motorists can expect a highly visible police presence on major Dallas thoroughfares. Commuters are highly likely to encounter additional patrol units on key highways, including I-35E, US 75, and the Dallas North Tollway

What if we started criticizing literally everything "unnecessary" in a book/film/show? "OMG why is there an unnecessary food scene? Did we really have to watch the protagonists eat a burger?" "Why is there an unnecessary homework scene? Did we really have to watch the teen hero doing algebra?"
