Someone on the other site asked me why I kept saying we would win something this year, last season. I read about Ange and his philosophy. I took the time. And now we’re Europa League champions

Unless you're a fan of a mega-successful club or a glory hunter, sports fandom is awful, a relentless slog of unhappiness and pain. Until it isn't. 17 years is a long time to wait. I've been so patient. And that long, painful wait and all the near misses make days like today all the more sweet.

Ange's unreal second-season tradition continues and he has every right to be completely insufferable about it

If you are a Spurs fan you should be absolutely the most obnoxious celebrator anywhere today, you can and should pretend this was the only competition you played in this season. Leave the angst for the summer.

Winning at Duke is great. Kansas? Really cool. Kentucky is Kentucky. On and on. But St. John’s? When it comes to scale, and scope, and sheer voltage — winning at St. John's is different than winning anywhere in college basketball. You had to be at MSG last night: www.nytimes.com/athletic/620...

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

I'm in good company of elected officials & labor leaders calling on President Biden to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Cuba isn't bombing several countries or committing a genocide. The people of Cuba don't deserve the economic suffering imposed by the U.S's Cold War politics.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

there are people content with their political line existing as a subculture, are indifferent or even hostile to attempts to move beyond that. maybe that's fine, even, but they certainly don't need your help! go where help is needed - and those will be places that are trying to accomplish something

I tell comrades this allll the time. If you want the movement to grow to anywhere near the scale it needs to be, you had better get comfortable organizing with and for people you don't like, even people you very much dislike. That's how solidarity works
