You and me both 😤

Everything in the final third is too slow… Like they just don’t know/trust eachother’s movement well enough to make a quick pass

if you want to know the history of this kind of policy, I made a podcast two years ago that explained why these tests make no sense, how they were already used and eventually abandoned by the IOC in the 80's and 90's, and the devastating impacts they have on real athletes: www.tested-podcast.com

FWIW it looks like “Zaboola” is the actual loser - and smart, grown-up people don’t waste their time writing useless, unkind things like this on platforms that allow them to remain anonymous. Your work is still meaningful to lots of people!

We were just discussing if this is more gladiator or D&D

If you live in and/or care about DC and good-quality info, and you haven’t yet checked out @51st.news - there’s no better time… 👇‼️

What would it take for Rock Creek NPS to achieve the basic responsibility of shoveling a sidewalk nearly *two weeks* after the storm? (This is along 16th St NW beside Carter Barron) @cmfrumin.bsky.social @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social @51st.news

I have been hearing chunks slide off my slanted roof all day!

Thanks! What is NYR? (I was confused by STR but then figured that one out - "short term replacement")

This is the absolute truth.

(Here’s looking at you, @verizonofficial.bsky.social “live agent.”)

Thank you for this! Your explanation underscores something I’ve been thinking about (and worrying about): Calls to “abolish ICE” are partly missing the point. It’s not just ICE.

Oh wait! Sotomayor is with me on this

I’m puzzled by something ancillary here: Has the court already decided that a social media post constitutes acceptable “notice”? (Thanks for all your analysis!)

Agree. I really struggle to enjoy a movie peopled by unlikeable people

Also - I would happily hand money over to so many fully-paywalled newspapers/newsites … if they offered a way of buying individual articles!

Amazing. Now - let’s please fix the ridiculously bright headlights.

What do we think: Must it be plural or can we accept a singular JORT?

Does FIFA just not know that the NWSL exists?

Have read and listened to your work from afar - and I don’t doubt you are going places (and hopefully, towards more great coverage of women’s soccer!).

Kind of cool but also makes me feel 🤢

Go Big Blue 😉

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

I am a dog person, and this wide-eyed crazy-looking stuffed animal is not gonna get me up and clapping

I think I’m gonna have to start rooting for my hometown team again! (UK)

how is this real
