So @anyaolson.bsky.social and I have gone to many @angelcity.com matches over the years, but just as luck would have it, we were somehow never here for a win
Now we’ve been here for two wins in a row and they were glorious
#angelcityfc
My word, I think Straus has actually done it. We are… good.
Never wanted to hear the contents of a halftime talk more in my life
So proud of @angelcity.com

No better time to break my bluesky silence than as @anyaolson.bsky.social and I enter BMO Stadium for the @angelcity.com home opener #AngelCityFC
Time to find out if Bayern are for real
Tonight I paid for a soda with a credit card that I spent several seconds searching for inside a package of salami
Got home, poured myself the soda, thought about what a silly brain moment that had been! Maybe a minute or so later, I suddenly realized I was drinking the soda out of a cereal bowl
This is the best moonwalk performance I've ever seen

I definitely have some redundancies in the soccer apps category but in this instance it feels great.
We are officially on the upswing, and we can do it with the players we have. Imagine when Jonsdottir finally gets that first goal. #AngelCityFC
Riley Tiernan is back! What brilliant goal #AngelCityFC
What an absolutely incredible goal from Alyssa Thompson! That one felt great #ACFC #AngelCity
nope absolutely not

the lovely @anyaolson.bsky.social and I celebrating my birthday in our own special ways
Let’s go Angel City!
An under-construction retail space covered from top to bottom with a huge ad announcing that it will soon be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizzeria.
Maybe the reason I started this job was because of what’s about to open right next to our office
I like it because it is fun, it is recognizably Star Trek, and it is not built entirely on the most preposterous violation of the laws of physics I may have ever seen depicted (Discovery).
But oh yes it would be wonderful if that aspect were true for everyone. Nobody should experience anything else
I began and ended my workday by spilling a drink on my stuff
Today was 3 weeks working for Favorited.com, a new social video platform that believes a lot of the things I do: social means interaction rather than consumption, creators deserve to keep most of their earnings, trust & safety matters and requires resources. Definitely preferring it to doing nothing
Nine arranged in a collage of a cute black cat, beginning from when he was just a baby kitten and continuing to today
Happy 5th birthday to Blackberry, my special little boy and the only creature I’ve ever known who is even stranger than I am.
There’s something comforting about apparently being far from the only member of the 4:30am self service car wash club
Why does the dork at the bottom of the frame at the beginning have a 60-lb. backpack with a canteen? You're in MacArthur Park. There's an El Pollo Loco on 6th and Alvarado -- just pop in and get yourself a Diet Coke, you dork.
Sandman season 2 is out today! Finally, the thing that my wife @anyaolson.bsky.social put the last few years of her life into is out there. So proud of her
I cannot properly convey my shock and disappointment at Sweden not winning Eurovision in a total landslide
In this universe, the Las Vegas strip is a brutalist enclave
I wonder if I’ll ever be as excited about anything as this Crystal Palace fan is about being seconds away from winning the FA Cup
I just met a man whose dog was diagnosed with lymphoma, so he has taken a leave of absence from work, bought a Sprinter van, and is going to just road trip with his dog to various nature destinations around the country for as long as his dog lives, and I am just floored by how beautiful this is
lol we have 3 cats, I hope I don’t need 4 chairs at my desk to ensure that there’s always one for me
Two cute black cats, each sitting on their own office chairs and looking into the camera
It would appear having a decoy office chair has backfired
Fear not,¹ Polymarket (polymarket.com) has that bet available, plus 12 more pope-based bets.
¹ I of course actually mean "fear everything", including and especially a timeline where you can place a bet on the next pope's sexuality on a crypto prediction market
playing soccer very badly
I don't know.
So I read the Daily Beast one (shocked by the story), then the USA Today one at your suggestion (shocked by the difference in reporting), and then I read the German one both of these pieces cite and it's much closer to Daily Beast's.
Truly frustrating to need to worry about this, too
well this area seems like a supremely depressing deep dive
