Having to roast coffee on the patio worked so much better in the Summer. It’s chilly tonight but I have to choose between comfort and caffeine for the work week.

I used the feedback form to object to the use of AI here, and if you care about soccer journalism in the US you should too.

Pro Tip: provide your feedback in terms the league would care about e.g. growing the sport. Maybe don't just rant or complain. 💅🏼

This sucks. A lot.

I know from my own experience doing it— it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.

But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

I have a pair of Cardigans- one is a consummate extrovert who wants to meet and be adored by everyone, the other is an introvert who’d rather not be approached. Both are affectionate but the introvert wants you to slowly earn her affection.

This...this is how you do it. Props to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for not shying away from issues that seem to terrify those in power.

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues

(of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It is the most perfectly Portland response, “Oh you think we’re on fire and big scary? Hope you enjoy the weirdness, asshole because we’re taking it to 11.”

For an oh so brief second I read this as a laugh and not an acronym that will likely figure heavily in future, “How not to do public health” literature.

I was looking up the origins of Baked Alaska and got this little gem. I love that this guy discovered the low conductivity of egg whites but thought Bavaria was Norway.

Screenshot from the Wikipedia article from Baked Alaska staying that the person that discovered the low thermal conductivity of egg whites also thought Bavaria was in Norway.
