The Guardian's list of top 100 women footballers has informed me about players, but like all lists or awards, the more you know, the more all lists are shit. The top U.S. player listed is Emily Fox at 24. I dig Emily, but the proof the list is euro-centric can be seen by 4 fullback scouting reports.

Well, I sincerely miss
those heavy metal bands
I used to go see
on the landing in the summer

Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks for the duration of the ULP strike.
Two birds from a trip to the zoo in Auckland, New Zealand. One is an Australasian shoveler standing on a slab of concrete next to water, the other is a pied stilt, wading in water.

I've seen the sequel.
Surfing scene with the words "Surf II" written over it and then smaller pics of lobby still scenes from the movie on the sides at janky angles.

Who's the best sitcom teacher of all time?

Can't wait for the sequel, "girls gone coaching."
Cover of the cook book "girls gone veg" with Ali Riley holding a soccer ball and Toni Pressley holding a pair of Orlando Pride cleats in front of a kitchen table with various fruits, vegetables, and perhaps bread.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?
Still from an SNL sketch on an imitation Star Trek TOS bridge. Dan Ackroyd is in a blue science shirt playing Spock. John Belushi is in a yellow captain's shirt playing Capt. Kirk. Elliot Gould is in a blue suit, red tie as some sort of "real world" authority. Spock and Kirk have phasers pointed at Gould.

It's not the most meaningful one for me (Big), but it is the one I like to rewatch the most.

I think it was simultaneously Lara Jill Miller and Lauri Hendler from "Gimme a Break.'

The only others that come to mind are comedic.

Got my response from Adam Schiff while democracy burns around him. Sigh. (Had to shorten his response for the alt text because he took over 2,000 characters to explain he was following rules.) Most democrats are worthless right now.
Mr. McClain:Thank you for contacting me regarding President Trump's cabinet nominations. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.Article II, Section II of the Constitution gives the President the power to make executive and judicial appointments with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. I take the advice and consent responsibility seriously and will be evaluating each of the President’s nominees rigorously to ensure that qualified and appropriate candidates enter the Executive and Judicial branches of the government. Some of the nominees appear qualified and suitable for their intended roles, irrespective of whether I agree with them on every issue. Unfortunately, some of the other nominees President-elect Trump has announced, including Kash Patel, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Pete Hegseth, hold highly problematic and extreme positions that are inconsistent with the law enforcement, national security, health care and other needs and priorities of the American people.I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about the President's nominees, evaluate their records, and consider their nominations when they come up for a vote on the Senate Floor. Please know that I will consider each of the President's nominees individually on their merits and commitment to serving the public interest.Transparency has been a goal of mine throughout my time in Congress. You can find detailed information on every bill introduced in the Senate on Congress.gov, including the summary and full text of the legislation, which Senators have co-sponsored it, and the most recent action taken by Congress.An ongoing job of a Senator is to help constituents solve problems with federal agencies, access services, and get their questions answered promptly. On my website...via Facebook or Twitter...by phone at (202) 224-3841.Thank you again for your thoughts. I hope you will continue to share your views and ideas with me.Sincerely,Adam B. Schiff UNITED STATES SENATOR

I miss the Juicero and its relatively small ecological footprint.
Headline from Bloomberg news reading, "Silicon Valley's $400 Juicer May Be Feeling the Squueze." Sub head reads, "Two investors in Juicero were surprised to learn the startup’s juice packs could be squeezed by hand without using its high-tech machine." Headline from the Financial Times that reads, "Open AI says it has evidence China's DeepSeek used its model to train competitor." Sub head reads, "White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft." Meme of Jenna Fischer as Pam from The Office looking at the camera in a non-descript room with a tall house plant and venetian blinds and a caption that reads, "They're the same picture."

Felt kinda good to contact my senator and get this off my chest. Voting to approve numbskulls is just wrong. Good work to all those that filled Schiff's voicemail box.
It is a screenshot of the contact page for Adam Schiff. His name is at the top of the page with the subhead, "U.S. Senator for California." Message Subject: Why are you complying? Message Topic: Transportation Message: It didn't take me long to find online that Sean Duffy is a climate change denier. Why would you put him in charge of transportation, arguably one of the worst contributors to climate change? Your voicemail box is full. I didn't want to give all my information on this form. Don't mail or email me for any fundraising, as that is all democrats seem to be good at doing. Actual opposition? Ya can't be bothered.

Ethical consumption is hard. Sometimes big stories point out shit birds like Target (bit.ly/4ayC27T). Other times, Goods Unite Us shows which companies/teams mostly support nazis. Then, with the "split money" companies like T-Mobile, donations go to nazis & old Ds. Rich people and corporations suck.
A snapshot of recent political donations by T-Mobile from the Goods Unite Us app that shows donations to John Curtis, nazi shit bird republican senator from Utah, Mike Lee, nazi shit bird republican senator from Utah, Nancy Mace, transphobic, nazi, shit bird republican representative from South Carolina, Josh Hawley, idiotic, transphobic, nazi, shit bird from Missouri, and Doris Matsui, one of the many octagenarian democrats in Congress that fight about as well against authoritarian rule as a dead moth.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

("Neon American Anthem," 2023, Nicholas Galanin.)
From https://americanart.site.seattleartmuseum.org/art/ - Nicholas Galanin’s commission for (Seattle Art Museum), Neon American Anthem (2023), fills the gallery with white light from a custom neon installation that offers a proclamation and an invitation: “I’ve composed a new American national anthem: take a knee and scream until you can’t breathe.” Galanin envisions the work as a participatory performance piece that engages museum visitors to ring out with sounds of protest, mourning, or celebration. On the floor lies a grid of “Daisy Doormats,” the iconic AstroTurf welcome mats with plastic daisies in the corners; this symbol of Americana becomes both unsettling and humorously ironic in this setting. Photo by me, Jason McClain, from a January 11, 2024 visit to the Seattle Art Museum.

Reading the @propublica.org article regarding U.S. policy irt Israel and Palestinian people. (www.propublica.org/article/bide...) Screenshot where Jack Lew implies that it's ok to kill children, as long as their parents are bad or the numbers are small.

Thank you for your work ProPublica.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew told the Times of Israel he worried that a generation of young Americans will harbor anti-Israel sentiments into the future. He said he wished that Israel had done a better job at communicating how carefully it undertook combat decisions and calling attention to its humanitarian successes to counter a narrative in the American press that he considers biased. “The media that is presenting a pro-Hamas perspective is out instantaneously telling a story,” Lew said. “It tells a story that is, over time, shown not to be completely accurate. ‘Thirty-five children were killed.’ Well, it wasn’t 35 children. It was many fewer.” “The children who were killed,” he added, “turned out to have been the children of Hamas fighters.” The repercussions for the United States and the region will play out for years.

Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming.
