The more choices you have, the better, right?

Spain need to sub in Dan Burn here

Spare a thought for everyone seated behind the goal on the right of your tv screen. Seven goals, none in front of them, and the sun is shining right in their faces.

Yes indeed, MLS got to backing over the past couple of days, and plenty of weird sh*t already transpired. (And yes, also one absolute snoozer.) Let me catch you up: www.mlssoccer.com/news/portlan...

"If we start just dismantling every government institution all willy-nilly, pretty soon we’ll be living in a country where agencies are expected to justify their existence instead of simply continuing to exist because they already exist."

England had 12.5% possession between the Gordon goal and going 2-1 down 😵‍💫

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

Absolutely ridiculous that Olise is this aggressive in his passing and this accurate. His 92% pass completion in the attacking third is what your DM gives you. Meanwhile Olise's out here sliding the ball through lines to put it on a platter for his forwards.

Marx, in his critique of the political economy of the 19th century, extended this framework to capital and property owners, but still was rooted in classical economic theory." www.liberalcurrents.com/rent-a-new-f...

The rise and growth of the Working Families Party produces the best of both worlds: a two-and-a-half-party system that pushes the Democrats toward pocketbook populism and helps to make that a majoritarian politics. buff.ly/6zk2zum

A life-extension drug for dogs could soon be on sale—and its development could clear the way for a new era in longevity medicine for humans, too, @rossandersen.bsky.social reports:

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

In Time-Travel Thursdays, Jake Lundberg explores “Where Will It End?,” an essay from the second issue of The Atlantic, which “shows a person reckoning with a moment like our own”:

Sheep, goats, cattle and pigs were domesticated between 11,000 and 9,000 years ago. Cats, according to recent research, a mere 4,000 years ago. The tale of dogs stretches back much further

MLS notes 91% of footprint (including playoffs) remains the same. Early season up against football rather than late-season and playoffs, which moves to more desirable spring. Mid-July start gives few more weeks of summer play vs. mid-Aug start in Europe. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

‘Soccer’ was originally British slang for ‘association football.’

All the many people who’ve made their entire careers lying about his obvious nature will just abandon it, and slink away and find some new project where the left is wrong.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!
