Big hats give way to our winning streak!

Got it done despite the attacking trio not having their best game. Very promising!
The shouting fans were a good sideshow. More interesting than the Dallas-biased commentator crew
Sometimes you eke out an ugly road point in MLS.
#MNUFC got the ugly 3 road points. We'll take 'em.
Finally, in the 70th
Evergreen, apparently. Loons have looked tired for a long ehile and we sneak to the 70th without reinforcement
UST is in the process of trying to modify their Conditional Use Plan with the city, particularly regarding the houses they own along Summit & Grand between Cretin & Cleveland.
A poster from the University of St. Thomas with the title "We Want to Hear from You!" and a background image of an ornate arched entrance. Text reads: As St. Thomas plans for the future, we want to learn from our neighbors about what is most important when it comes to campus development and neighborhood priorities. St. Thomas is proposing to update its Conditional Use Permit with the City of St. Paul, which regulates building uses and placement for the St. Paul campus. Please us this QR code and take the survey to help inform future campus planning efforts, and tell us how St. Thomas can contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhood. In the upper right is a large QR code. In the lower right, the University of St. Thomas logo with text.
As parochial as all heck, but for my fellow St. Paul urbanists living in MacGrove/Merriam Park around St. Thomas, in case you haven't gotten a postcard asking for your opinion, please take a moment to respond to their survey about developments in the neighborhood:

Screenshot of the following text: 10. Minnesota United (+2): Now unbeaten in five (all competitions) since they got brutalized in Vancouver. The return to the 5-4-1 has worked, and the Tomás Chancalay acquisition – remember, they got him for basically nothing – has looked like one of the shrewdest moves by anybody this year.
To be pedantic, during the last 4 #MNUFC games (setting the straight Ramseyball against Seattle aside), the shape has been 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 with the Loons rarely settling all the way into a back 5.
Notable in the overall tactics shift towards midblock/pressing over just bunker & counter. Progress!!
You appear to be proudly, loudly ignorant here and I'm not sure why. It's a Google away.
What Timbers tradition should I be on the lookout to shit on without knowing anything when I come to Portland?
"Michael built a bicycle
unsuitable for speed,
it's crammed with more accessories
than anyone could need,
there's an AM-FM radio,
a deck to play cassettes,
a refrigerator-freezer,
and a pair of TV sets.
...
but it isn't quite complete,
Michael left no room for pedals,
and there isn't any seat."
Handing @dbrauer.net a bazooka aimed at STrib HQ was exactly what the doctor ordered. I might call in sick tomorrow if I was a Star Trib OpEd writer.
Sarah Kendzior warned us over a decade ago. Trump and the GOP are disaster capitalists driven to sell our country for parts, including the most pristine corners.
Everything they do is violating. They care about nothing but money.
Even subbing in the attacking Argentinians didn't help
I've never been less excited for PKs.
Loons, that was dispiriting. #MNUFC
I'd gladly stay up for a fun exciting nailbiter.
I'm questioning many life decisions with this rubbish snorefest.
Like woah.
Not seeing @markoftheeast.bsky.social active on this #MNUFC Open Cup match, so in his honor:
Pereyra subs in and immediately honors Jan Gregus with a moon shot.
Some good Open Cup urban legend-y lore possibilities. I keep waiting for the perfect nugget
Smidge of a snoozer in Sacramento.

Yeboah and Romero the only ones with the night off?
Cupset watch activated
*and* an International Market Square
There was a lot of reluctance to shift around, absolutely.
I personally, was confused by the number of "Uncommitted/ICE OUT" groups that sounded very similar to one another and made me worried they were Craig groups. I didn't notice the biggest Unc group, somehow, so my first timerness was strong
So, threat of thunderstorm (that vanishes) so we (weak folk like me) don't dare and the Twins go off immediately. Amazing
Your G+ graphic mislabels the Loons strikers: Yeboah and Dieng's names are flipped. (not sure if replying to the bot has any effect, but here we go)
