Time to remind everyone we knew who Pulisic was in 2021.

Thank you @kierdoyle.bsky.social for all the laughs this has given me.

A thread of tweets from Kieran Doyle on 5/24/21 with nicknames for Christian Pulisic. It reads:
My favorite list of Pulisic nicknames: Jan 6 Gervinho, Insurrection Insigne, Stop the steal Stoichkov, MAGA Mkhitaryan, second amendment Sancho. All gold. Add Quantico Quaresma and NRAmar to the list. Keep em coming. Anti-vax Aspas oh my god Witch hunt Willian, school shooter Simao, Georges Kevin NQdo all top drawer entries.

Absolutely. Lean into the chaos. Watch people crash out as performance art.

Had the same thought. Could be an all timer on Philly sports radio. Eagles well on the way to making it happen too.

Trump oversaw the Afghanistan war for four years. I guess it was so unimportant to him that he forgot this.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Just learned about Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked today.

Interested in it and would love to know more if anyone knows of somewhere with details. Seems like they’re not revealing a ton though.
