Over-educated and superannuated. I like old dead languages, ancient history, fighting fascism, the LA Galaxy, the Seahawks, the NWSL, the WNBA, the Rolling Stones, Star Trek, and probably other stuff I haven't thought to mention yet.

The incoming regime is ineligible under the 14th amendment. Therefore, everything they may do is illegitimate. I expect any opposition worthy of the name to point this out at every possible opportunity.

It feels like the alternative is 'gentleperson's sweep,' so 🤷

Feh, this is probably it for #WNBA for me until next spring. I dislike the Aces enough that I am not going to watch them hoist a trophy.

Does Grijalva have any recourse at all if Creeper-Speaker refuses ever to swear her in?

Oh, she's been in the headlines since she threw that hissy fit of Old Testament proportions over her NYT then-coworkers being horrified by the paper running Tom Cotton's "Send the troops to shoot the protesters" guest column.

Most crimes these days are committed by Pedoführer, his family, and his baying mob of cultists.

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 2d

Sure.

But also, I intend to speak plenty ill of him once he's shat himself for the final time.

As I hope to get the chance to demonstrate soon.

It's this year's "Project 2025? What's that?"

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 2d

"You say that like it's a bad thing." 😒

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 2d

And I REALLY want the stinking rich to pay taxes for those things.

I believe I hope the Jagoffs use up all their awesome this evening, so they can beat KC but then completely shit the bed next week. #Seahawks

And with that the #ReignFC win my sports weekend by actually playing some fucking defense. Try not to disgrace yourselves so much next week, #LAGalaxy and #Seahawks

#NWSL

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, I take back my qualified praise of Sam "Darn" Darnold. Not okay. #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, I thought we scored too soon.

The good news is I think they did, too. #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

So have we considered trying to cover Egbuka? #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Yeesh, we score, I go to the bathroom, and come back to find they're already on our 20? 🙄😒😩 #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Holy fucking shit, that's some quality going for it! 💙💚 #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, #Seahawks, let's have a nice 7-minute 99-yard scoring drive right here.

"Well, he's got us there." #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Good luck and good health to you. Fuck cancer always! 💙💚

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

Hot damn, nice road point, #ReignFC! No bus in the history of parking the bus has ever been parked as brilliantly as the Reign parked the motherfucking bus today!!! 💙💛 #NWSL

I don't know what happened to the #Seahawks ' defense at the end of the AZ-holes game, but it appears to be still happening. 😒

So are we gonna bring in Fishlock or what? #ReignFC #NWSL

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

"In honor of our throwback uniforms, we're gonna play like it's the first half of the 1981 season!!!" 😩 #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

I wasn't a big fan of bringing in Darnold. But when they give him the chance to throw the ball he's been pretty decent. Maybe something to think about as opposed to grimly trying to make the run game work. #Seahawks

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 3d

A stop well before the other team gets into FG range would sure be nice at this point. #Seahawks
