do you think it's a coincidence that these two brands in a long-term partnership with each other both independently obliterated their once ironclad customer loyalty among suburban libs
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

Someone hacked his lawyer's office and published their internal memos a few years ago. They obviously should not be admissible in court, but they should change your personal opinion of him. He told his lawyers he did what he was accused of.
A woman reported that Ronaldo assaulted her in Vegas in 2009. "In recent months, Ronaldo has also been part of diplomatic efforts to woo the U.S. President Donald Trump."
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm a match between their men’s teams to take place in Atlanta in March 2026.
The match could end an almost 12-year absence for Cristiano Ronaldo from playing football in the U.S.

I don't really want to wade into the current MTG discourse but it is interesting that she thinks the risk of getting primaried by a Trump-backed challenger is basically zero. She'd get in line if she thought she needed to.

I do wonder how much NWSL would have to spend on salaries for England to just decide to not respond. Right now they’re spending just enough to be a clear No. 1 but those clubs obviously have the capacity to spend £10m/yr on salaries if they think they need to.

From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

1. Transfer market alignment is going to make it a lot easier to sell players for big money and sign good players for reasonable money.
2. Playoffs now happen in a relatively quiet part of the NA sports calendar.

Genuinely why? I think it is largely neutral to maybe bad for my reasons to attend with young ones in a northern market. If they don’t take the training wheels off re: roster regulations what is the point

Obviously there are some pretty significant potential drawbacks but I think the upside is bigger. It’s the right decision.
