My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The Timbers Army stands in support of the Rose City Riveters and our transgender and LGBTQ+ community. We see you. We support you. We protect our own. Hateful messages about gender and identity are not acceptable in our spaces. #RCTID

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Yeah MLS refs, that’s dangerous play, should have been a pen and now the players know they can do rough hits in the game, being weak on protecting players has consequences with worse fouls. (Min 44) #RCTID

It’s a bit of a thing for me, but players that are running out of bounds or jumping in their air should be protected, and getting a got on them when maybe the ball is not of consequence should be punished.

The Camas thing has made me so sad. All of the anti-transgender activists disguised as journalists running to both vilify and incite harassment of a KID. It’s immoral. Kids were shot at a Bend school today and it’s not getting half the attention as a freaking high school cross country race.

Whenever you get a result like this it's because the other side is convinced you're as bad as them. Like how Trump did surprisingly well among voters who had "democracy" as one of their top priorities

Remarkable outcome in Fox News' latest poll: 88% of U.S. voters say they are extremely or very concerned about corruption in government, beating every other issue including inflation www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Purebred cats show up regularly in movies and shows that are set in times when they simply did not exist. Most of the "breeds" we have today were just created within the last hundred years for no reason other than humans feeling entitled to bespoke living creatures that we've sculpted to our whims.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

Apparently, things are only getting worse at Mt. Rainier. This is just horrifying. I have never seen MRNP so mobbed as it is this year At this point, they should just close the park entirely. There are just too many people, and the park is severely understaffed. Shut. It. Down. #parkchat

I guess this is just sort of the logical endpoint of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling their supporters’s desire to vicariously consume violence done to other people.

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

this was always more likely than city winning the cas case, imho. even at the time it never passed the smell test, much as we were glad of the result. uefa had little appetite to continue the fight, the scope was limited, we were afforded privileges. it makes sense that came from the top.

It’s not shocking to anyone.

"Of course. We can do what we want.” That's the line, in the hacked emails published by Der Spiegel in 2018, that sums up the sense of entitlement that fuelled Manchester City's cheating under this ownership. Column for @theathleticfc.bsky.social #MCFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/763...

nytimes.comThe damage of the Manchester City verdict runs deep. An era of Premier League history is tainted (Gift Article)This may look like a victory for the Premier League but it has come at a cost that cannot be fully calculated
