Trump wins the FIFA gold medal for downhill skiing

To be clear, she earned her spot - #1 downhiller in the world this year. And she proved in the training runs that, even after the ACL, she was fast. She wasn’t taking a spot from anyone, she flat earned it.

Let’s try this one in foreign correspondent voice:

State Security Forces Arrest Journalist Who Covered Protests Against Regime Official

Gov. Janet Mills: "If they have warrants, show the warrants. In America, we don't believe in secret arrests or secret police."

30 Rock meme - roof is leaking, but they had it looked into, and it’s not

Fun times in our country

Holy fucking shit I’m so mad and so sad

Hands Reaching Up From Hell, Wat Rong Khun Temple, by Chalermchai Kositpipat, 1997

This has long been my favorite:

Is it cause it pumpkin season?

ew

Super proud of this team. What an incredible group, and an incredible season. Up The Hearts.

😬

Up the fucking Hearts baby!!! #hearts #UTFH

I'm much more of a "team goal" guy than an "individual banger" guy but this shit's stayed with me for 15 years.

Still my favorite thunderbastard in MLS history. Has a level of intentionality to it that few goals have ever matched.

What a player, what a career.

i guess we will never know if they were ICE or not

Up The Hearts!! Fuck yea. #UTFH

Biggest win 🤝 biggest crowd. We should break the attendance record every week.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

Well this is about as good as it gets for ol’ Ben. Bluegrass and footy. So grateful to be a part of this community.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Every once in a while I try to give Morning Footy a try. It always turns into sports yelling after 5 minutes, and I turn it off.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Tho the defense has clearly leaked a bit. Not quite all over. But a bit.

Weah and Luna have had some nice interplay. Quite runny, you might say.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Continuing to show slomo replays at the expense of showing the actual game drives me nuts
