Are we sure that's not just Kristi Noem without makeup?
Any whispers/news on a Bregman extension?
He's never going to die. We can't have nice things like that.
Until there is confirmation when Trump does expire, I see no reason to assume he can't cheat death, because he's cheated and lied about everything in his life and gotten away with it.
Nah, I'm not getting my hopes up again for Trump's demise (literal or figurative). The man has cheated/lied about everything in life and gotten away with it. No reason to think he can't inexplicably cheat death as well.
The way he has cheated/lied at everything in life and gotten away with it, I just assume he will live forever, because we can't have nice things.
Liverpool's window has been nuts. That's a lot of new parts to try and fit together, but really it's just cope to try and think they aren't massive favorites to repeat as champions. For City seems like there was no Plan B after Livramento, which is weird
If Liverpool stay relatively healthy it's clearly there's to lose.
Stones.
Definite shithousery from Brighton, but not great from Pep.
Yeah I guess it was naive to think he might be able to reign in the Bozo gene, but that just looks like it's a permanent debuff for him.
Not having Foden/Cherki to turn to after they tied hurt worse than I'd have imagined. Looked like the only plan for creativity in that last 30 was just hero ball, which is so uncharacteristic for a Pep City side.
Team has the talent to rattle off a trademark 20 match winning streak, but the tactics/rhythm/fitness are wayyyy off it at the moment.
Yeah. Thinking that even with Nunes being a physically capable RB, it's clear the Bozo gene is a permanent debuff, and will cost us points.
I think this probably should have been the expectation coming into the season, but we have started seasons under Pep pretty poorly before and then Pep figures it out for the final few months of the season. The talent is there. Tactics/rhythm just way off it now.
We had absolutely no answer to Brighton's shithousery in the second half, completely taking the life out of the match.
Reijnders invisible for a second straight match something to keep an eye on. Obviously not expecting a ballon d'or caliber effort each time out, but we definitely need more out of our 8.
Some of it left over from last season for sure. That second half for us was also extremely poor and a tough watch.
Brighton absolutely sucked the life out of the match in the second half and we had no idea how to respond.
Abysmal second half from City. Brighton sucked the life out of the game with stoppages and City had no semblance of an attack plan. Definitely could have used Foden or Cherki today.
The Khusanov was a blatant yellow. The Ait-Nouri one looked worse in real time so kinda get that.
We need to make subs
Locked in 🔒
Seems like his stuff would translate well to a bullpen role, but I'd much rather see Harrison get a start instead.
Dustin May needs to go to the bullpen. I think he can be effective there. But I'd rather see Kyle Harrison get a start over May.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
M3 Strategies is a GOP affiliated pollster who seemingly loves to produce these sensationalist polls trying to "take down" Democrats like the Chicago mayor. So that's not exactly a reliable source.
I hate the term "big club" since everyone gets annoying about that. But whatever the best phrase is for that, VAR seems to rule that way.
Way to be a buzzkill Phil. Bet you're a lot of fun at parties (j/k haha)
Yeah I mean it's just rich teams get more calls than the less rich teams. I do think we can safely say we get more calls than a Wolves or Fulham does in fairness.
VAR basically now just a check to see which club has the higher revenue, and making sure they find a way to have the decision go their way.
For more than four decades now Republicans have done everything to dismantle all safety nets for the unhoused and vulnerable, and yet they still continue to gain support railing against the problem they caused. We're so fucked as a country.
It was never about criminals or making communities safer. It was always about White Supremacy.
Are VAR checks basically just checking which team is a Big Six team and then making sure the call benefits them?
*against the Pirates. Excited for Tolle, but this is basically a AAA/AAAA lineup, so trying to temper my expectations.
Tolle called up from AAA to have a AAA lineup basically.
Let's see where the economy is in October. There's a world SCOTUS could do Trump a massive favor by eliminating the tariffs and boosting the economy, while Trump wouldn't have to backtrack on his tariff obsession.
Glad the extenuating circumstances of him getting drilled five times were taken into consideration here.
For sure. There's a lot resting in what the messaging is that's being promoted, and maybe more importantly, if anything is being suppressed.
I agree in principle, but I think the danger in this particular instance is whether or not the funding for such operations would be coming from the same consultants/operatives that aren't effective. I'm happy to have Dems play dirty, but concerned about who is choosing what to boost.
I respect both Taylor and Aaron, and I kind of land that the article is a bit sensationalist--especially in its headline--but that the operation in question exists in what I think is kind of a shady area.
This is the Wired article by Taylor Lorenz: www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
ICE is not protecting American citizens. It is simply a White Supremacist enforcement gang.
Hitting a lot of things with either a little lime or lemon juice, and knowing when to use each one, is also a big W skill.
They need to have two scales: Indian spicy, and White people spicy. May I also offer an amendment to add this for Thai restaurants?
For real. One time I met up with an Indian buddy and his brother for dinner at a restaurant I had been to before where everything had been mild. But when I ate with them, holy shit, I'd never had anything that spicy in my life. It was pretty funny.
As a City supporter, can we please just go one UCL season without playing Real Madrid? Please? It's just getting old.
In the pit for Rage in one of their last shows before their initial breakup. Openers were Queens of the Stone Age and Gang Starr.
But like, when you think about it... it kinda fits, right?
Interesting! I appreciate the follow up and that you're taking the time to answer questions.
I mean, I wouldn't 100% assume KDB will be fit by that time of the season given how injured he's been the past few seasons.
Sadly for Kev, it's like, what, a 50% chance he'll be fit by that time of the season?
Just once, can we NOT face Real Madrid?
(asking in good faith I promise): You mentioned you viewed this opportunity as a "mentorship opportunity", but it also sounds like there were some confidentiality/secrecy requirements. Is that incorrect about the secrecy, or if not, why would it need to be secret?
As long as we can avoid notorious kingslayers Grimsby Town, I think we should be fine.
I didn't know this about Mark Teixeira but I also am 0% surprised.
Probably does make sense to have a Canadian Asylum Seeker simulation game if you're a non-MAGA American these days.
It's fun enough once, but also clearly just a fad. Don't think there's much repeat value for it to be a long term success or grow beyond its current niche.
Exactly. It's like he took the weirdest possible lesson from Don Quixote. Except, he also can't read, so we can rule that out.
I definitely feel like some of The Ringer personalities think they are a little bigger than they are. I dunno, maybe I've just grown out of some of the Simmons' inner circle's schtick.
I'm just sorry for all the lies and awful shit that are going to be hurled at the trans community. Awful tragedy that is going to be made so much worse in the narrative.
America is so fucked man.
Trans folks should not have assault style weapons. Not because there's anything different about trans folks that makes them more violent, but because NO ONE should have a god damn assault style weapon.
This is an insane take. The rebrand of Cracker Barrel is obviously the greatest danger to society.
But I DO have a deeper appreciation of the Muppets than you do!!!
Wouldn't mind him hitting third in the lineup against righties.
I guess you can’t just indict a ham sandwich.
For those of us that 100% should not make this joke, thank you for stepping up and making it. Amazing.
That's good at least. Whenever I've been to DC in July or August it's prime swamp ass conditions.
Also, like, DC in August is shitty enough weather wise wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
God forbid they'd have had to move the post Klan rally dinner to a Denny's!!!
Yeah it doesn't seem like mediocre food + corporate kitsch is a winning business model.
Both him and Giolito have benefited a bit from a generous strike zone. Ump seems really excited to call strike three in particular.
It would be really cool if their wedding theme were "Release the goddamn Epstein files." Just sayin'
Here's hoping the theme for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding will be: "Release the goddamn Epstein files"
Imagine being so brain broken that you think this guy makes sense.
Can this be parodied in one The Onion print edition ads?
I think MSNBC should try this with their rebrand personally
Tangentially related, but I think if MSNBC wants to attract a new audience with its rebrand, they might consider this?
Can't wait for SCOTUS to Calvinball this one.
Is that what that fucking thing is on Trump's hand?!?
Mariam Abu Dagga: Gaza journalist killed in Israeli strike ‘carried her camera into the heart of the field’
I hear ya. Every day it scares the shit out of me that if/when it comes to it, the other side is armed to the fucking teeth.
Yeah boycotts are a good shout. Are there any good specific ones you know of that are gaining momentum?
Same. I guess when you look at who serves on the Boards of Trustees it's not that surprising that it really is all about the money, but god damn.
Sigh... Yeah. You are right. Am I too privileged/comfortable/cowardly that I wish that other folks were doing more, yeah. Can this be solved nonviolently? How does it start?
Respectfully, I don't think anyone here on Bluesky needs to be persuaded that Trump isn't a dictator. I feel like we need more guidance on what to do next now that the systems have completely collapsed.
I think we can all safely stop pretending that this is the same GOP that preached States Rights, limited Government, etc. Trump murdered that party years ago.
That probably eliminates 95% of leaders in World History in fairness.
Were we all just naive in thinking Higher Ed wouldn't cave to Trump?
I don't totally agree but I can respect that I don't have the same lived experiences/lived truths that other folks have. I'm also not referring to Bernie Bros here FWIW, but more thinking back to campus activism days.
It's fun to shit on Wirtz for now, but that Liverpool plot armor is insane.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't know the percentage of folks who are the sort of "woke scolds/purity test" folks who are genuine about it, versus foreign trolls, versus Trump supporters. My instincts are it's more the first two, but I'm curious to know why you think it's more the latter.
The "falling behind your KKK dues" line is a pretty good line. Well done. I'm half Chinese/half White, so I obviously cannot speak to anyone else's lived truth. From my perspective, I have worked with a lot of folks who might identify probably as Marxists who represent a viewpoint that is "left"
I dunno, I've met a lot of leftists who have pretty strict codes. They also tended to be the ones who always showed up on the front lines of protests, etc, so I can respect them wanting to be "outside" the Democratic party. I feel like some of the trolls might be foreign influencers though.
Totally. I live in enough of a bubble to where I don't really know if the average low-information voter is bothered enough with what's going on (more than just a passive dislike if you will) that the "how can you support this" messaging will work?
Liverpool's plot armor is insane. They had a lad who was literally (not literally) born during the first half and scored the game winner in the second half.
Not trying to troll I promise, but I actually don't think "we're not fascists" was enough of an argument for a lot of low info voters. It's infuriating, but I also don't really know if a lot of the potential electorate really cares about protecting Democracy if the current system just kinda sucks.
Obviously not. The system fucking sucks. I don't want a billionaire candidate, but Pritzker admittedly talks a good game and I could see him having broad appeal as he appears more genuine than some. Is there a Dem you would support, or are you outside the party but put in the work?
