Bonus fun fact: if San Diego wins by 1 and Gotham loses, they would be tied on goal differential, so San Diego would win the Shield on the second tiebreaker: most total wins. With an SD win and Gotham loss, it would be 18-17 in favor of the Wave.
#NWSL FT: San Diego 2, Boston 2 The Wave stay alive in the Shield race heading into Decision Day and prevent Gotham from clinching, but they are 3 points back with a game to play after conceding a second-half equalizer vs. Boston. Wave need a win + Gotham loss for the Shield.
This moment might have swung the election in Brazil. The younger Bolsonaro made fun of Lula having nine fingers (Lula lost a finger as a teen due to some terrible working conditions & some poor care from doctors.) He fought back and in a country with a large working class, it might have resonated.
Lula: "I WON'T ACCEPT A MILITIA MAN CALLING ME NINE FINGERS. I lost my finger at 17 years old. Because it was either I worked or I didn't live. I am the working class of this country." x.com/babi/status/...

I want shout out PTI for 25 years on the air at ESPN. It is amazing they've made it and continue to carry the torch for journalism as the network turns to slop. And I want to tell my PTI story of the time both Kornheiser and Wilbon shouted at me on set. (Thread!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhnA...

Since cheek swabs don't work (the doctor who created the test will confirm that for you), that leaves an "anatomical examination" as the only option other than banning girls from sports. If your law requires choosing between an Epstein fantasy or a Taliban policy, it's not a good law.

Thoughts from my Bluesky-less wife: “Derek and Bruno, sleep with one eye open.” And on if it were only Derek who gave Amber a 9: “Coach Jackie would eviscerate him. He would no longer exist.”
I’m new to the show and idk how many of these routines have a full narrative arc and psychology to them, but between that and Amber nailing basically every move, that might be the best routine I have seen so far. Period. #DWTS
Hold up… this is a different clip from the one the other day??
Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
This has actually been a terrific reminder that I’ve been noodling over: more potential NWSL awards. Some I had in mind: Most Improved, 12th Player/Reserve of the Year, best defensive forward, best sportsmanship on-field. Do you have other awards? Or nominees? Might turn it into a piece!
All right folks it's time for the Almost The Best XI of the NWSL season. The players who *would* have been in contention for awards except that they were taken away from us for whatever reason -- injury, maternity, transfer, coach's decisions, WAFCON, killer bees, etc

Linda McMahon, the United States Secretary of Education, worked diligently to ensure children in her and her husband's "employ" could continue to be molested at WWE. She did this for the same reason she got the Secretary of Education job: Republicans like it when children are sexually abused.
Here's the district court ruling allowing a federal lawsuit to proceed against the U.S. Secretary of Education and her husband for negligently hiring and retaining sexual abusers who preyed on underage male staff during the 1980s-90s. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Christiane Amanpour, who previously voiced concerns about David Ellison’s takeover of CNN, is leaving the network after 43 years. She said in a statement that she will be "rooting for CNN and maintaining its history of independent journalism." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Can we start writing all of this down & getting the bills/EOs ready? Dems are gonna need a Project 2025-style “plug & play” set of policy actions to hit the ground running. Maybe the classic Dem consultants should be working with Walker on this instead of yelling about Hasan Piker or whatever…
