I had a joke about Dorian Gray, but it’s aged poorly.

Respectfully, @herculezg.bsky.social

My casual theory about Andre Blake’s injuries and absence being the main reason the Union struggled last year persists.

For whatever it is worth, Gazdag’s @transfermarkt.com value is over $10 million.

The Fourth Estate is not up to the current political moment.

Every time he comes up in my feed I am reminded how grateful I am for @johnamaechi.apsintel.com, and how he one of the few fellow Penn Ststers that give me any modicum of pride to have gone there.

The Sun carrying a piece with a position that I kind of agree on might be enough to make me change my position.

This is the correct take re: transfers. Main question is what’s better: having the first half of the RS compete with CFB/NFL, and playoffs compete with NBA/NHL playoffs, or have the bulk of the RS compete with NBA/NHL/MLB seasons and Int’l tournaments, w/ playoffs competing with CFB/NFL.

InGen didnt make a velociraptor. This is not a velociraptor. Stop saying it is!! I feel like I’m going mad!!

Friends: just because it’s egregious, a violation of the constitution and done by someone you don’t like, doesn’t mean it’s a high crime or misdemeanor.

Time zones exist, people.

Nymeria is right there!! awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ny...

Game’s gone

Two ways to structure De Bruyne’s deal to get him to Miami: 1: Gareth Bale special: Half-season guaranteed max TAM deal with a big $$$ option for 2026. 2: Sign and loan: Sign him and loan him somewhere (Wolfsburg? Genk? Saudi?) until the 2026 season.

Discovery Conflict Resolution:

If Miami can’t show that they have a legitimate plan to sign the player, they can’t hold the slot hostage, and will have to step aside if another club initiates the discovery conflict resolution process.

Setting up an Instagram account for your match fixing business is certainly a choice.

Coulda used him over at the Phils game.

Technically we are also littering space with Earth trash.

Came to the conclusion with my buddy that the NFL season should be a 16-week schedule, with every team playing every other team once. One unified league table. Simple, effective.

Honestly a 32 team league makes the most sense for a top-level domestic league in the U.S. 4 regional divisions of 8, 2 conferences of 16. Saves teams a ton of money on travel and player wear and tear from traveling, gives fans better/easier options for away days, helps grow regional rivalries.

Whenever a USL team beats an MLS team in the open cup it’s an indictment on the league its level of play, its player investment strategy and the overall professional soccer pyramid in the U.S. When a burrito shop beats a USL-C team, it’s cool and fun and theres nothing to worry about.

Assessing player development is an extremely subjective thing!

Anyone who is seriously working in youth development knows wins and losses aren’t a good measure of players’ development, and often skew opinions about how well an academy is performing in the wrong direction. Whether you should abandon it whole cloth on the other hand…

It’s very funny because the entire point of congestion pricing is to improve the subway.

My legal advice when this happens: call a Plaintiff’s lawyer or let your auto insurer handle. Don’t do this on your own.
