At work, my area does a mini golf contest where different groups create an 18-hole course. My boss challenged me to create a soccer themed hole for our team. Challenge accepted. #Crew96

Ohio Republicans want to make bribery legal.

2 people are dead and our former House Speaker is in prison for the rest of his natural life over #Ohio Republican corruption The lesson Ohio Republicans learned? Make the corruption legal. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/06...

#minitailgate will be a Sharpie-free zone. You can wear yellow and be safe with us. #Crew96

You know what I just realized? There an easy solution to this. GUILLERMO HAS A TWIN BROTHER WHO ISN'T COACHING RIGHT NOW. #Crew96 #GuillermoOrGustavo

This seems like a good time to mention that I recently learned about the Erfurt latrine disaster, when multiple members of German nobility drowned after falling into a latrine cesspit.

Heeeeelllllppppp 💀 (Crew play Whitecaps on the 14th)

Paging Issa Tall.... #Crew96

I don't have enough time to make an Imodium A-D rail banner 😩

Two teams, one cup (of diarrhea)

BREAKING: Vancouver Whitecaps announce that “a significant number” of players and staff who travelled to Mexico for ConcaChampions final got sick. Club cancelled training on Wednesday. This comes after Columbus Crew players/staff got sick before CCC final in Mexico last year.

Realized today that someone stole all of the library's copies of The Advocate going back 5+ years. People really suck. #libraries

What a way to honor a club legend. Scheduling Guillermo’s induction to the Circle of Honor on a day he can’t attend and in a space currently under construction. This FO is comically inept and out-of-touch. #Crew96

Pride arrangements are my favorite 🏳️‍🌈💐 #garden #pride

Look we’re happy about this, but also confused. We thought ‘selling starters to European clubs for far less than their value at a bad time’ was Issa’s whole ‘Concept’

My Applebee’s waitress just sent me this exclusive video that was shot in the #Crew96 locker room after the loss on Saturday night.

Library workers–have you already experienced pushback, censorship, or attacks on your plans for Pride 2025? I'm again collecting those stories for an article in mid-July. I'll share this link throughout June as well. Details in the form, w/ previous stories. tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25

DH: “Is that Michael Bradley on the ground?” [at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne]

Why do I think this looks like Elijah Wood? [at the history museum in Avenches]

My take on last night is that #Crew96 have been slamming their heads against the ceiling of what’s possible with this group. Without a true goal scorer, You can only do that for so long before guys get frustrated and lose their edge.

Wakes up, checks #crew96 score, shoves a second pain au raisins in my mouth.

I know everyone is upset right now, but please try your best to not make noise. Issa Tall is asleep.

Darlington Nagbe became buy down eligible in December 2023. A team that was bounced in the first round changed nothing in the winter window. Self proclaimed “two windows ahead” GM had no plan for Cucho’s departure. Issa Tall killed the golden years.

Less than 12 months ago the Columbus Crew were the best club team in North America.

#Crew96 have held a lead for a total of four minutes out of the last 540 minutes of play.

#Crew96 is preparing to play their second road match versus Miami in just over a month. Weird scheduling.

Good morning from Moléson mountain, 6500 feet up—we took a funicular and then a cable car to get here. Heights are not my thing but it’s beautiful.

tldr; - #crew96: from ok defense & bad offense to bad offense & bad defense: what’s the fix? - Favorite quote: “Nobody except people held at gunpoint are going to watch the Rapids.” 💀💀💀 - Alexi Lalas is a prick (so say we all) - Is Issa Tall the Pam Purdy of technical directors? 🍕

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 🤔

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

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

@crewfancouncil.bsky.social 🚨 Nordecke members and Crew fans, we need your feedback! Please fill out our Cleveland post match survey to tell us all about your experience or give us your thoughts on the match up North. nordecke.com/2025/05/27/c...

"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.

Update #crew96

i heard reading is fundamental

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

Shot, Shot, Shot, Shot. Were you expecting a chaser? You sweet, stupid summer child #crew96
