The key to Christmas music is the broadest variety possible. Make a playlist that has 1000+ versions of Christmas songs, in as many genres as possible. It’s the repetition that kills.

It’s good! (My mom’s is better, but way more work)

I’m inclined to think that your dad loves you very much. That’s a facade I’m not sure I could keep up.

And then guys wonder why they can’t get a girl. Hint: treat them like they’re special (get dressed up, listen to what they say, ask them what they want and make it happen)

I’m struck by the lack of talking to for Bastoni. Clearly unsporting behaviour on his part.

At least you get to be home for it

I’ve heard people say MLS needs big clubs for the storylines and should therefore let the money flow and I couldn’t be more against it

The reality of every team (yes, even DC United) having a chance is part of what makes this league great

Congrats on the Scotland win!

We should be revoking tax-exempt status from churches that advocate politically (vote for this party/candidate) from the pulpit. Many evangelical churches are constantly doing this.

Growing up in LA in the 1970s and 1980s, we routinely had smog alert days when we weren’t allowed to have lunch or recess outside. Your eyes would sting all the time and if I played outside my lungs would burn at the end of the day. It’s vastly better now. But I guess that’s woke?

Not you, but Taylor. It’s where I got the paywall within a paywall phrase from.

It’s a common misconception, because you still have to have an Apple ID, which is free, in order to access the MLS stuff. Multiple season ticket folks I know never figured it out, even with help.

My college coach was a AAA pitcher before a back injury stopped him. He (unknowingly) convinced me to give up on becoming a pro baseball player.

I never got within a foot of his curveball and I knew that in the majors they would never throw me anything else. Damn thing fell off a cliff.
