Parliament (Bundeshaus) in Bern. TIL that while Switzerland’s bicameral system was inspired by the U.S. Constitution, their executive powers are shared by a committee in order to prevent power grabs by any one person 🤔

Me w/my AirPods in, cracking up. DH, looking at my phone: “Are you listening to ACES Radio? In Switzerland? They don’t deserve this. It used to be a pristine country.” #crew96

Climbed 365 steps to the top of the tower at St-Nicolas Cathedral in Fribourg, where a kid was having an extended meltdown. Fribourg is lovely, a medieval city on a hillside with narrow alleys, beautiful architecture, & a funicular that runs on wastewater(!). #switzerland

"If we want to aspire to something - we cannot do that" Wilfried Nancy walked away from #Crew96 draw with some frustrations as their winless streak extends to 5 games. More in my takeaways from the Nashville matchup in my latest www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I will always appreciate the optics of a 1/2 empty stadium in Austin, TX. Just 5,300 dorks filing out past a tire reseller, assuring eachother it’s their 2nd downtown. Clark hitting send on another spreadsheet that says SELLOUT. Anthony at home in California, half asleep, choking on his own spit.

Romont is lovely. Very non-touristy, which is a nice break from some of the more-visited cities.

As we approach June and Pride Month, I'm asking #Crew96 fans to join in this year's Prideraiser, benefitting Kaleidoscope Youth Center. In the current political and social climate, it's important to support organizations that provide safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. www.prideraiser.org/r5j8oY7J8eld...

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI. A quick search confirmed the company recently launched new AI software, which now means..

Almost 10k feet up on the Schilthorn in the Swiss Alps. In the 1969 007 film “Her Majesty’s Service” it featured as Piz Gloria, which I kept reading as “Plz Gloria” which made me think “plz Margen” 🦅

#crew96 are 0-1-3 all time on the Bank of America turf and have had to sub off starters due to injury within the first 20 minutes in each of the last 3 matches. All our love to @meckmassive.bsky.social but Crew just need to forfeit the Charlotte road match moving forward

If the #Crew96 organization can decide to punt on an entire competition like the Open Cup because they don’t think the players can handle that many games, I don’t see why they can’t skip one game a year at Charlotte where players legs go to die.

woman next to me on a train is FaceTiming; she says to whoever it is, “I don’t want to talk about that, I’m on a train, people can hear.” 2 mins later: “If I want to fuck, I’ll fuck. If I want to have sex, I’ll have sex.” Which made me wonder what it was she didn’t want to talk about in public 🤔

The team preaches about being one club, but then they schedule first team events during second team home games. This is actively hurting second team matchday experience and second team performance. #CapyCrew | #Crew96 | #ShootsOwnFoot

This is the future of book recommendations when libraries are defunded and dismantled. Trained professionals are removed in exchange for this made up, inaccurate garbage. Are you fighting yet?

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
