Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

In the past, Super Bowl commercials were snapshots of the cultural moment. The past few years they've felt like projections of a future elites want to force us into against our will.

Potential 2026 NWSL Lineup #12 (of 16)
Washington Spirit
A reminder that players on Maternity Leave or SEI lists aren't included in these projections.
Spoilt for choice, to say the least. Being able to bring Cantore off the bench is a big flex.

I think Washington, DC is about to become the largest city in the Western world without a newspaper with local news and sports coverage.
To kill a civic institution of this importance, in the Capital of the world's most important democracy, is just staggering, irremediable malevolence from Bezos.
