I... should probably make a reach reintroduce post for everyone who's showed up in like the last, weekish

Hi, I'm a moderator for the comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun (as well as LRR crew member @lunarjade.bsky.social ), I just spent a week watching Desert Bus For Hope, and also watch too many sports.

Don't do it yet.

Wait until after the draw and they've put you in a group. Before then they can try and give your spot to someone else. After you're placed in an actual group it's hell to do anything but just start down a team.

'The irresistible musk of thirty, no, fifty, slow-roasted swine, marinated by a skilled and caring pitmaster before being left to be dried by Father Time itself, leaving no succulent detail unattended, wafted through her nostrils.

She went right for the spare ribs.'

I... made a mistake providing a genuine answer to the question

Israel doesn't exactly have a sparkling sporting pedigree on the field, the best athletes they might have access to tend to play for someone else, so in the sports world, as long as you do the games, it tends to take care of itself.

Case in point 1 nil Italy at the break.

Then for a bit they were shoved into the Oceania region and, long story short, Europe is the only nearby continent that will begrudgingly agree to actually do the matches.

The reason for that is one year so many Asian countries refused to play them that Israel nearly qualified by forfeit without even kicking a ball... and then FIFA arranged a playoff with Wales so they'd have to play at least one match, which Wales won.

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

@seanrosssapp.bsky.social Hey what's it do to a PPV's numbers when ESPN just... runs it, automatically, when you log into the main page of the website, whether you asked for it or not

The front page of ESPN.com, showing a livestream of Triple H and Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel

Tigers and Mariners are getting my coveted 'This Game, This Fucking Game' Award

I get the idea the Nobel committee was *trying* for someone whose receipt was a thumb in the eye to Trump's thirst for the prize and who would make it clear that he's never gonna get it.

And then they DEEPLY botched the execution of that and didn't research who they were actually giving it to.

I get the impression that with the Peace Prize, the Nobel committee doesn't.... actually RESEARCH the recipients as much as they really ought to, they just pick out a headline they want and look around for who they can give the damn thing to in order to generate the headline they want

Aaron Allermann @mtvcdm.bsky.social · 5d

Nobel Committee: We're gonna stick it to Trump for his naked thirsting for the peace prize by giving it to a Venezuelan fighting for democracy

Recipient: [immediately does the very last dedication the Nobel committee was hoping for]

Nobel committee, presumably: well, shit

I don't call a team in 'drought' until they've gone one year without for every team in the league. Yankees got 14 more years to go before that happens.

Any sufficiently obscure Native place name will do this. You're literally speaking an unfamiliar language pronouncing the name, but you can work out the ones from your area.

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
