She’s on the field in a full leg brace with crutches, but true to form is smiling. And Caleb Krueger kissed her brace 🥹.

2025 is the first time in my life without a daily print newspaper. It’s been hard and feels wrong but it’s also right. I couldn’t stomach what I was paying for anymore.

"The Washington Post’s average paid daily circulation has dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years...It's the sort of figure you’d expect to see from a mid-size regional paper...Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name."

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

I want to analyze a hypothetical first half playoffs v second half playoffs. So many teams are living or dying by that first half record. Orlando is the flip side of Hou/Utah/Chic.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s never lost on me that NWSL pays for PRO2 level referees because they can’t/won’t pay for the PRO level and at some point, all the owners in the league are going to need to talk about that if they want to be serious

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

This is something that is fairly easily fixed with money. NWSL chooses to use PRO2 referees.

It's telling that owners are cool with investing in nice stadiums because of the real estate play they get along with it, but paying a marginal % of that to improve play on the field is a bridge too far.

4-0! Cantore!

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is sitting at her congressional seat speaking into a microphone. Her hair is down, and she’s wearing round glasses and a black blazer. She’s holding her hands up as if she were describing Sofia Cantore’s goal

Note to Portland from a DC resident: it doesn’t matter how cool and vibrant and fun your city is. Armed Guard will come anyway and walk around doing nothing and everyone will roll their eyes while Trump claims victory. I saw a dozen yesterday, one literally just picking up dog shit.
