As 8-year-old me begged to start playing soccer in 1994, can confirm. And the whole rest of my life began. 😍

Please, thank you, yes ma’am, no sir, hold the door for people, say excuse me, eat what you’re served, give a thank you wave when someone yields, tip 20%, go to the same spot to eat regularly, talk to your neighbors, cut the the kids some slack, it’s Sunday league not USL, say cheers, buy a round.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

By my admittedly rough math, that would fund the U.S. military for about an hour and eighteen minutes

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

As a person who has made a life of barely arriving on time, barely turning things in on time, etc, I will say I feel seen by the 2025 Washington Spirit.

🚨 GOALKEEPER GOAL! 🚨 On the night of the 1,000th game in league history, in a rematch of the first game in #USL-1 history, in the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time, @tormentafc.bsky.social's Austin Pack scores the equalizer off a corner!

As a deeply non-religious person, I am moved to see the Church finally doing what I had naively thought religion was all about.
