@kylebandujo.bsky.social @alexmcdaniel.co For the more serious Ted Lasso stuff it’s clear that Mae’s shares potential with the 3 barflys determine team ownership. Who do they go to do that? The women’s team members? Alice? Ted? Baz, et al? The city? Bar likely goes to Higgins or the bar flys.

@kylebandujo.bsky.social @alexmcdaniel.co Less serious Ted Lasso comments but notice how Ted says “games” and “practice without correction this year? Is he less invested? The nameplates show Beards name is “Willis Beard”

@bigscreensports Minor thing but this year in Ted Lasso Ted has repeatedly said “practice” rather than “training” without correction by anyone. Not sure if this is accepting of Ted’s American background or if it’s lazier writing.

Fascinating

The Susan Collins canvasser who stole a package on camera should be charged, but let’s look at the larger picture. The fact that a citizen has to steal to make ends meet is directly caused by republicans.

ICE agent Christian Castro - who shot Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis and lied about it, and who TX Governor Abbott refused to extradite - has been ARRESTED by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. www.startribune.com/minnesota-of...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Bad day for the Terry Rozier award on Big Screen Sports @kylebandujo.bsky.social @cwdarney.bsky.social Maybe there’s a new category of most likely to get charged with some sort of points shaving or insider trading.

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 will rebuild

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:

How many games is the Chiefs' resident incel podcaster/kicker going to have blow out of nowhere for them to realize he shouldn't be in the league anymore?

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement. Not ICE.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Speaking of things making themselves irrelevant and shrinking their audience, how are things at the Washington Post?

“Curtis Evans stood directly in front of the gate with an American flag. The 65-year-old Evanston resident heard about the first protest on social media and came to represent “the ideals that our country stands for.” “None of us have ever done this before,” he said…

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
