Just the usual: soccer, disability (mostly autism) awareness, progressive politics, and open and relational theology.

FIFA did the right thing by kicking Putin and Lukaschenko out. Time for Trump and and MBS to join them. (Orban could go as well.) Either that, or the IOC needs to just rescind it's recognition of FIFA is the governing body.

This guy is obsessively playing a game of "top that" with Obama." He can't begin to measure up if he doesn't win that Nobel Peace Prize. It often takes decades to see the measure of a president. We're seeing the (wanting) measure of this one in real time.

The 'R-word,' embraced by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, inches back into the mainstream

So, in the 1500 at his most recent track meet, Dillon just goes out and runs a Special Olympics national qualifying time. His 3000 time from cross country would also qualify for nationals. Unfortunately, I believe it's too late to make the team for next summer, but watch out USA Games 2028!
