Based on history and actuarial tables, the last World Cup to be hosted in my country in my lifetime is coming and it looks like I’ll need to stay as far away from it as possible 😥
OPINION: If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be at Hitler’s Berlin Olympics in 1936 or at Mussolini’s 1934 World Cup, good news! You’ll get a chance at a similar experience next...
Think the World Cup draw was cringe? Trump propaganda machine just warming up

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...

The Chronicle reported that Coates was a finalist last month. For more journalism around Bay FC, would appreciate a subscription. When you subscribe off of women's sports stories, it shows in the metrics that you care about this coverage

Not enough said yet about “Right Back Where We Started From” as the victory song. It’s been in my head ever since! Gonna have to make a hard decision pretty soon about whether our 12yo is old enough to watch Slapshot yet.

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

It turns out that “fix your hearts or die” is not just an admonition meant for the overt bigots. It’s also a warning about what those overt bigots will do to everything you care about using your indifference about the minorities they target as cover.
