11 clubs that changed the course of football history
In my first book, Origin Stories: The Pioneers Who Took Football to the World (2021), I explored the roots of football around the world. A handful of remarkable clubs really stood out. Here’s why.

Highlights here: www.fifa.com/en/watch/aUF... Kaylee Hunter is a “proper footballer”… right up there with the likes of Sinclair or Fleming. Could watch her all day. Hope I get to see her in Winnipeg next year in the NSL but I fear she will get a big transfer to Europe first.

Politics of Cars @thismachinekillsfascists.bike · 14/09/2026
A huge benefit of going from one car per driver to one per household, is it inherently decouples trips from the car. People no longer identify with "their" car. Sometimes they'll drive, but it increases conceptual space for considering transit, walking, or biking for each trip.

To honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Manitoba Museum will be hosting its annual Orange Shirt Days with complimentary admission to the Museum Galleries, Planetarium, and Science Gallery from Sep 30 to Oct. 2. Thank you to the @https://nctr-um.bsky.social for their support.
A word graphic. On a teal circle to the right is an orange t-shirt with the words “Every Child Matters” on the front accompanied by a floral motif. Text below it reads, “Orange Shirt Days @ the Manitoba Museum / Every Child Matters / Sep 30 – Oct 2 / 10 am – 4 pm / Complimentary admission. No ticket required.”

A great idea. Added bonus for drivers would be a huge increase in choice of safer fuel efficient vehicles.

Stephen Wilson Jr. at Winnipeg Folk Fest. The man is a snake oil salesman. I’m not buying. If you want to play the "Everyman against the system/People's Champion” card you better back it up. See Billy Bragg for how this is done but hey, cool Butch Vig production on your pedal steel.

For 90% of the game, Haaland just lurks around. He hardly even pays attention to the ball. But then - out of a sudden - at the exact right moment, he awakens, scores a historic goal, and immediately goes back to lurking around. He cannot be replicated.

From me, on a "track-meet" round-of-32 World Cup match that, while not pretty at times, showed Canada's mettle: www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2026/...

Opinion: Canada gets its moment of glory
Alistair Johnston said it would be a track meet. It was that, and then some.

Imagine that, reducing speeds = saving lives. Will the Manitoba Government finally make is easier (less expensive) for the @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social to reduce our residential speeds & will the city adopt the true safe speed of 30 kph? Seem doubtful but I remain hopeful. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social

A final update for all those who helped, and those following. On Saturday, Lidiia made it to the nursing home in Kyiv, thanks to everyone’s support. She was a bit confused the first day, but I’m told she’s since settled in and is doing great, cared for and safe. Some photos from the evac.
