I've spent a fair amount of time on Threads building my community. Would love to do that here instead. Honestly hoping to connect with folks who want to interact. Hit me up for Star Wars, Bay FC, Quakes, Arsenal, USWNT, USMNT, MCU, or even travel talk.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love, Ms Rachel

My wife and I stayed there on a weekend getaway for our anniversary a couple years ago. It was quite pleasant. They have an onsite spa for massages.

The Athletic, diligently preparing for the US hosted World Cup by systematically removing all American soccer writers on their staff. Best of luck on your next endeavor @jeffrueter.bsky.social, I'll read you there.

Some personal news: today is my final day at The Athletic, ending a 6+ year tenure on its staff.

Immensely fortunate to have covered this sport alongside some of the finest writers and editors in the industry. Will keep you posted as I figure out what’s next for my work!

A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

In a stunning development, the Trump administration admits in court that it has moved California National Guard members into Chicago, which to this point has been done in secret. To be clear, there is no security reason to have withheld this information from the American people.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Given how freely Trump has ignored countless laws these past several months -- laws! -- why on Earth does anyone seriously suggest that Democrats or anyone else for that matter should try to reach some agreement with him? The default should be "fuck you" until he's impeached, out of office, or dead.

No one should take this court seriously. They believe that child abuse is a first amendment right, but racial profiling doesn't violate equal protection rights. The Roberts court at this point is just as bad as the far-right Supreme Court ruling "separate but equal" or Dred Scott.

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...
