I would throw D1 TEs into the mix for CB.
As the World Cup gets closer and the question begins to again become inevitable, going to put this down as my marker.

It’s not:
“What if America’s best athletes played soccer?”

It’s:
“What if America’s best potential soccer players didn’t top out at D2 basketball and AA baseball?”

Exactly right.

The whole project is to either defeat or otherwise neutralize the Confederacy's role in US governance, and quarantine Lost Causers to the shitheap of history.

But we can't even get started until people acknowledge that 1964 was the *start* of the 2nd Civil War -- not the end of it.
as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.
I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

I would advise young people to consider engineering/construction fields. AI may ultimately provide some efficiency but we need actual people to build stuff, especially entry level to do field work.

They are good careers and there are actual physical things that result from our work.
Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job."

That Kerkez ball for the goal is something he should be doing more of for Liverpool, especially when Isak is back.

Had a grand time at partying at his house a few times after DCU games back in the day.
Congratulations to Tony Sanneh on joining the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Almost as good as when he was Sainted!

I try very hard to not “as the father of daughters” much. But as the father of daughters if anybody ever said this around me I wouldn’t let my family in a three square mile radius of them and I’d make sure everybody I knew had the information to do the same.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

LFC are currently a team that needs to score first to win. The question for Slot is how to approach games in that context. Do we push for an early goal potentially increasing chance of conceding or do we contain early and push for goals once game has settled?

Once again, jury nullification is one of the few, direct ways that ordinary people can make the law more fair. Don’t dodge jury duty!

See below for a quick history of the jury!
🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

It’s seems the takeaway from last night is Slot should have just played that lineup all season but the reality is he hasn’t really been able to. Macca has taken 2 months to get going, RBs have been injured, Salah has been poor. I think the one thing he could have done earlier is play more Robbo,

While there are a few teams who could jump above us after tomorrow's games, but think we all would have dealt on this after 4 games.

Seems the RM spell over Liverpool evaporated when Kroos left.

Maybe the answer was Macca and Mo play better and it all makes a bit more sense.

A bit of surprise when LFC teamsheet drops and there is a name you have no idea who it is.

Will be interesting to see if that famed Arsenal depth is all its cracked up to be.

That lineup is about what I was expecting. Bit surprised with the bench, but considering injury situation, shouldn't be all that surprising Slot is holding players back with a Villa, RM, City week coming up.
October 29, 2025 at 7:24 PM
I find it pretty surprising that people have already given up on LFC winning anything this season. Perhaps I’m the eternal optimist but I’m still of the mind they get it together before too long and a January signing or 2 could help kick them on.
October 29, 2025 at 3:22 PM
LFCs current struggles feels more like the Covid season where the emotional toll of injury and grief created doubt and uncertainty rather than 22/23 when the midfield lost it legs.

Due to circumstances, some of their own making, some out of their control, Slot hasn’t been able to have consistency
