Really feeling this lately. Tolkien lived through the worst and had a deep understanding of despair. And hope.
Breaking: FIFA has already leaked the 2030 Peace Prize. It’s being awarded to a 3 week old pile of Gianni Infantino’s shit. Reports coming in that it’s an improvement over the 2026 award.

FIFA is a corrupt organization on par with the current Trump administration. They have never, and I suspect will not now, do anything to protect fans or players, or anyone nearby to these games. Best case scenario is that no one attends these matches.
The World Cup is only months away and FIFA is failing to ensure players fans, and immigrant communities here will be protected from increasingly authoritarian ICE activity.
FIFA must commit to enacting protections against racial profiling, arbitrary detention, and unlawful immigration enforcement.

Good. As a Liverpool fan, I found it difficult after Henderson left to give a shit about anything he had to say. Liverpool legend, but that doesn’t change the fact that he ruined his reputation and legacy by going to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps him and Bill Burr can have a pity party together.
Jordan Henderson has revealed he felt unable to watch Liverpool games on television after leaving the club in 2023.
“It felt like a breakup,” he explained.

For years I’ve put off watching My Dinner With Andre. Having now watched it, I understand it’s not for everyone. The first half was a struggle. It can be boring. But the second half really hit for me, and even 44 years later, some of the struggles discussed are as relevant now as they were then.

I’d still run through (into) a brick wall for Nancy. Gotta trust he can pull this around for #Crew96. Even if we miss the playoffs or bow out quickly, I hope the fans/ownership don’t turn against him because that will be worse than any game result.

I know it’s a road game on a baseball field reffed by Boiko, but that feels like a missed opportunity for #Crew96. Arfsten was invisible and disappointing. Tired from USMNT camp?

I still subscribe to the belief that Daniel Gazdag deserves a full offseason with #Crew96 before a verdict can be given on him, but he is not enough of a difference maker to deserve a DP spot.

The energy and quality of play certainly rose once Ali entered play, but #Crew96 needs to play with that desire for 90 minutes. Not good enough Columbus. Get your shit together.

I like the #Crew96 subs. Can’t help but feel pessimistic though.

If, like me, you spent your formative teenage years in youth groups and church, and it left you not feeling great about yourself with neurosis hard to share, @jasonkirk.fyi absolutely nails the relief we feel. It reads like how "Up The Wolves" by @themountaingoats.bsky.social sounds and feels.
immensely grateful to @jasonkirk.fyi for throwing this piece together on what Dobson's death means for many of us strong-willed children. sojo.net/articles/opi...
James Dobson Tried To Destroy Us
As a former strong-willed child, I’ve had the notion of James Dobson’s mortality in the back of my mind for the last half-decade or so.

Bringing Up Baby is one of my all time favorites that I could always rewatch. Hard to believe it’s 87 years old.
I think it's accurate to say that each of us has older films we just plain vibe with, although which those are will not necessarily be the same for everyone. The Philadelphia Story is one of my Top Ten films and there are a ton of people my age and under who it bores the ever-living fuck out of.
But sometimes you don’t have to work at it to appreciate the movies! I just did my first watch of The 39 Steps (1935) and HOLY MOLY is that entertaining as all get out! Point is, you won’t know if you don’t try, and the person who gave the quoted opinion obviously doesn’t have the energy to try.

To piggyback off of that LA politician talking to Son, I’m curious if Wessam Abou Ali has any plans to help #Crew96 and/or the USMNT win the World Cup next year?
🇵🇸 Palestine int'l forward Wessam Abou Ali has received his visa and is now eligible to make his Columbus Crew debut.
Abou Ali is traveling to Columbus and will join first team training.
Crew's next match is this weekend against Toronto.
