Counter-point: I watched a DVD of American Dreamz last night that made me wish for all of these things.

This, for people who don't follow US soccer, is the coach of the Seattle Sounders donating to the GoFundMe of the fields director at Starfire Sports (where the Sounders used to train), who was just abducted by ICE.

YIKES

Why don’t we simply have AI restock the missles

TIL I’m a Matt Hedges fan 🤨

Sports games are events. You can go and have a good time even if you don't know who's playing Sports fandom is storytelling. It's caring about who's playing and what it all means so you can talk to friends and your barber about it MLS thinks it's in the first business, not the second

Absolute chimneys!

Maybe I’m naive, but it’s crazy to think there’s an alternate universe where DR Congo’s 2026 World Cup side features the veteran Steve Zakuani. #sounders #worldcup

I can swear to you right now, I’ve boycotted companies for pettier reasons. Every company advertising during hydration breaks is on my list.

Thank you #WorldCup gods for scheduling the USA game right after my indoor league game. Truly, no better people to be watching that game with, and no better time than with post-game beers.

This is the vibe you’re looking for 🇩🇿

Welcome to CONCACAF, South Africa. #WorldCup

do you want to feel like you're doing drugs without actually doing drugs, just look at this map

Any reason to show off my most prized possession:

Living in a world where I still don’t know what “ballmaxxing” is yet 🤗

My mayor 😭

We need to bring handshake wagers back. Too many people feeling comfortable making dumb claims in the open. Make them put $10 on it. Do it in front of their spouse and kids.

If he fails this hard at grade school math, why would we think his education on health is any good

Between this and the lessons coming out of Hungary, Trump’s plan absolutely has to be voter repression.

I asked myself "how do golf courses possibly afford property taxes" so I looked it up and came away convinced we could virtually eliminate the entire sport by simply removing several dumb tax loopholes

At this point, it’s hard to feel bad for anyone doing business with an entity that has been blatant about it’s shady practices for years. But this is messed up.

It’s April 2026 and there isn’t a single aspect of the men’s World Cup that sparks joy. The marketing of the tournament, the USMNT, the visiting fans… at best, it’s flat. At worst, it’s dire. Feels like Brazil ‘14 was the last time it felt like what it is (a game) and not a tool for politicians.

I feel like I missed this part of “The Art of the Deal”

have we tried asking the babies to wait to be born

More dogs in trade (and everywhere in general)

gotta be another way to do this

Best #ChampionsLeague ever.

Then I guess we just don’t “save this country” then

When you know you can’t win fair elections, you do whatever you can to manipulate voter turnout & election results. US authoritarianism continues.

As someone who may have to endure two weeks of watching the “shoulda gave it to Marshawn” interception, let’s never forget: Payton should’ve taken the field goal.

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

Anyone who’s ever worked for a consumer product Fortune 500 company understands this: these businesses live in a weird bubble, where their customers are supposedly spending every moment thinking about their product.

It wasn’t long ago that lawmakers were concerned with restricting porn websites for the same reasons that Grok is seemingly built to intentionally do: expose kids to porn. What changed?

Adding “learn how to build a refrigerator” to the to-do list

Decent chance this piece would’ve gotten fewer viewers had it just been allowed to air.

Believe it or not, Gen Z’ers, this was our experience with the pre-social media internet: youtu.be/Bmz67ErIRa4?...

I see that skipping the World Cup draw was, as usual, a good choice.

Could you imagine playing in the World Cup and your team is designated to the Stillwater, Oklahoma, Holiday Inn as opposed to a resort in Cancun?

THREAD. Over many years, we became the national experts in fighting unconstitutional pretrial detention--all the more urgent because authoritarians need detention without process. But something wild just happened in one of our habeas cases: a DA used made up cases and citations.

Any fruit to declare? youtu.be/ccyLMlUAcEA?...

Turning this off removes all the different inboxes and sorting and labels and you can't use them unless you turn AI back on. I am seething a little that I'm being forced to comply with a technology I do not want to be using.

This is a very bad sign. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

World Cup games are not worth it. Support your local bar/pub. Go watch local teams. Tell FIFA to kick rocks.
