Based on the coaches needing to be kept separate after the final whistle, I'm gonna guess that postgame press conferences will be fun today

Sappy post 😂
As the season is winding down i wanted to take a minute to say thank you to some folks. This season covering the spirit has been a learning experience & a ton of fun for me. I want to thank my fam at @sheabutterfc.com for thinking of me and believing in me that i could even do this.

You just know Berman has probably said some reckless shit too. Her and Cathy are carbon copies of each other.

Just as enslaved overseers made the calculus that it was better to be the one holding the whip than getting whipped, these lemmings have decided putting on the boot is preferable to licking it.

Ironically, both groups still ended up experiencing the latter scenario anyway.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this?

A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Hakeem Jeffries @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social · 17d

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Phallon Tullis-Joyce got a well deserved upgrade in #FC26. Went straight into my #WSL squad.

I suspect she's going to get more special cards, but either way this is a card I plan to EVO every chance I get.

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house.

They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

ICE agents held 5-year-old girl outside Leominster home to get father to surrender, family says

Video appears to show federal immigration agents trying to coax the man out of his Massachusetts home while asking, “Is that your daughter?”

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

Alt text:
Screenshot of a news excerpt. It reads:

"On August 19, 2025, Nexstar announced its intent to acquire Tegna for $6.2 billion; the acquisition would give it 265 stations in total, serving 80% of U.S. television households. In an interview with CNBC, Sook stated that the purchase was a move to '[play] offense and defense to maintain a vital industry for America and a vital resource for information,' and place Nexstar 'on a level playing field with Big Tech' in a 'fragmented and rapidly evolving marketplace.' Sook stated that in the 35 markets where this would create duopolies, Nexstar planned to keep station operations 'autonomous.' The agreement comes ahead of a possible loosening of FCC ownership limits by the second Trump administration."

The words “CNBC,” “Big Tech,” and “second Trump administration” are hyperlinked. There is a reference marker [127] at the end.

Referencing other leagues in the United States, Berman spoke on Thursday about the hope and ambition for women's soccer expansion.
