Not only is local government stealing a public park and giving it to billionaires for free, they’re throwing in $50 million to spruce it up for them. Meanwhile, guess who has a $50 million budget shortfall? Couldn’t be clearer who matters around here.
Columbus City Council voted to approve the Haslam Sports Group's land and money grab to secure an NWSL franchise in Columbus. There are a lot of people articulating why this is an awful deal but this article from @matternews.bsky.social
sums it up pretty succinctly tinyurl.com/m6k7mttd #nwsltocbus
It's cool that the NWSL is coming to Columbus, but last night the city voted to give a park that serves literally the poorest neighborhood in Columbus to the team's owners -- the odious Haslams -- as a practice facility. Shitty and unnecessary in every possible way.

Imagine how cool tonight would have been, and what a unifying moment we could have had as a city, if the ownership class would just pay for their own fucking land and their own fucking buildings.
Women’s sports deserves better.

Don't forget to hassle your reps to vote against HR 7661, the National Book Ban Bill.

Just remember, whatever stats ALA drops, the reality is even worse. A not insignificant number of schools don't report to ALA, and ALA doesn't have the staff in OIF to go out and track down this information. This looks bad, but it's likely worse.

"In 2025, 92 percent of all book challenges were initiated by pressure groups, government officials and decision makers, up from 72 percent in 2024. Less than 3 percent of challenges originated from individual parents." 📚

#Crew96 training today: Both Mo Farsi and Taha Habroune were with the full group.
Habroune missed the New England game with an undisclosed illness.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
I have the PEG/GoLytely---aaaaaallll 4000ml of it. This is my fifth time around, I'm getting pretty good at it 😄
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're basically back to this .... #Crew96
“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
My kids now refer to colonoscopy prep as “chugging the goo” so thank you ACES Radio (also go get your colonoscopy).
Crew season ticket holders have witnessed a single regular season home win since mid July of 2025.
That was the 10/18 game vs NY Red Bulls.
The fans did witness two wins vs LigaMx and a playoff win vs Cincy in a first round playoff series that they ended up losing.
If you want to feel extra good about how things are going in #Crew96 land.

How many transfer windows before Issa Tall signs a CB to fix the hole that has been there for 18 months?

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!
“We just, once again, got the lead and then stopped playing as aggressively … and then you saw what happened.”
#Crew96 recorded their fourth loss of the season, despite holding the lead at halftime vs New England. Takeaways from the game in my latest.

This is perfect
#crew96 but at this point I‘m not sure they deserve an entire hashtag
Went to see Stuff You Should Know live in Akron instead of watching the #crew match
The #Crew96 could use *broadly gestures at everything*.
If Mamdani and Obama singing The Wheels On The Bus with a group of tiny kids doesn't spark some sort of joy in you, I've got nothing for you.
(Screenshot of Amazon review) Five stars - Verified Purchase Spider dreams guaranteed Got these for a transatlantic flight from Seattle. Took effect about 20 minutes from consumption. I slept for about 4 hours and continued to use them to adjust to the timezone change. Every night I had the same dream about a spider wrapping me in a web very tightly and speaking backwards. It seemed very scared and was furious I could not understand what it was trying to say. 20 years passed in the dream world and eventually the spider and I became close friends and four years later we were married. Understandably our differences were too much and our relationship fell apart from the inside. My infidelity was the last straw and we never recovered from the betrayal. I would always wake up write before we signed the divorce papers. I had this same dream every night for 6 days. Great product. Highly recommend.
