The rankings shouldn’t be taken particularly seriously (eg. Lopez is ranked #2 with only 8 appearances). That wasn’t really the point of the OP.

A reminder:

Oof. @notalexis.bsky.social saying here what every Arsenal supporter is thinking and struggling with right now. Let’s hope he gets it done.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Same spot, different finish 🔥

Cristian scored two goals off identical corner kicks just 15 minutes apart 🤯

He’s #13 in the rankings at CB.

Not to mention skin growing back from any slides on that old school Memorial turf. Oof.

SEPTA will keep $2.90 fare for World Cup transit rides. Boston is charging $80. NJ Transit, rumored to be charging $100 a ride, will make an announcement on Friday.

News from @inquirer.com colleagues Tom Fitzgerald and @aliyareports.bsky.social:

While Boston's MBTA charges $80 for train tickets at the World Cup and New Jersey Transit might go over $100, here in Philadelphia, SEPTA will keep the standard subway fare of $2.90.

Pretty sure I’m a Sabers fan now.

I’ve always been jealous of *you people* who have 3-letter names, or whose 3 initials form words.

But I am happy for you.

Philly-based Seattle fan checking in, and I can confirm the Mariners/Seahawks/Sounders support is STRONG, along with the Philly fans. But my question is: where are all my UW Husky fans at??!!??

Why do you hate the Union so much?!?

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

This is my take as well, tho for the most part it’s not really a thing. I say that because live in Philly now where the Citywide Special (beer and shot for $5) is ubiquitous. I mean, like, every even slightly divey bar is going to have a citywide, and many of the fancier places too (just not for $5)

This isn’t really a thing in Seattle, but where it exists it’s usually a Rainier or Hamms with the well whisky.

Philly is famous for its Citywide special, a shot and a beer for $5. The classic is PBR and Beam, but bars around town seem to all put their own spin on it these days.

Going to be hard to top this female coach in the German men's fifth tier

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

Unfortunately we got the same from our subs. Rough game. Good to only be down 2-0.

Look at this absolute king.

Probably Operation Ivy or Sublime. But my personal favorite is Right On Time by Hepcat

Seahawks have two SB wins, not just the one

Dang. Lots of respect for the Sounders there. Let’s hope they can back it up.

Agree 100% .

Absolutely. And afterwards, watch California Split.

A bunch of dorks acted scandalized by Coates calling Israel an apartheid state as if everything about that country, its society, and its mission to expand and commit mass death, aren’t obvious to anyone who isn’t invested in their perpetual innocence.

Just irredeemably evil.
