The Cleveland Browns org has done some surprisingly good things. The team's owners are also responsible for trading for Deshaun Watson and signing him to the richest contract in NFL history despite 22 different women accusing him of sexual assault.
And now they're NWSL owners.
Every landlord's dream is get a stack of applications and hand select the most boring normie tenant with biggest bank account & paycheck.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated
Sir Alex Ferguson bought Bebe as a payoff to Carlos Quieroz for dropping Nani from Portugal from the Word Cup squad before he could fail a drug test which SAF knew he couldn’t pass.
“No infraction seems to escape him. Nakamura can hear a meter expire in the night the way an owl hears a mouse across a snowy clearing in the woods…”

Hippie trail today? Fear is for people who don’t get out much Bon voyage Plus a picture of young steve

This should be a much bigger story.
The Trump administration is about to hand TotalEnergies, a French oil company, nearly $1 billion of your money to cancel its American offshore wind projects. And they are pulling the cash from an account they are not allowed to use this way.🧵
“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”
That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.
It's very funny to watch the Republicans get taken over by upper middle class legal cartel operators and tech grifters who enjoy vacationing abroad.

From transit to tailgating to the fan fest, Philadelphia’s World Cup setup has become the envy of fans elsewhere — especially in New York and Boston.

Postmodern fascism is managing to run out of hack lawyers, reactionary general officers, and amoral bureaucratic functionaries.
They're stuck with barely literate gutter scum for nearly every position of importance and they're performing about as well as you'd expect.
