Duo was fatally hit by a Tesla Cybertruck, the language-learning company announced this week. The snarky owl has been the face of Duolingo for over a decade. Why his sudden demise, and what's next?
Duolingo's owl mascot is a social media sensation. So why did they kill him off?

Here is the language in the MLS CBA regarding fines for failure to appear. Driussi made over $6.7 million last year, so these amounts won't really phase him, but fining him still sends the message that #AustinFC don't intend to let him walk away

This is a fun annual tradition. Just us along with #AustinFC friends, pets and kids to chat about the new year.
Join us for our annual New Year's Day Meetup! We'll start at Hopsquad, where we will buy a round of beers and snacks. Then for the last beer of the day, we'll march over to where this tradition started: the street next to the construction site that became Q2 Stadium.

MLS released the list of players eligible to be chosen in Wednesday's #MLS Expansion Draft. Here is #AustinFC's list. Several guys who are out of contract were included, but the players in green are still under contract and are the only ones you really need to pay attention to.

Big sign of ambition from #AustinFC. You can imagine a scenario where ownership is tired of paying players/staff to go away and telling Rodo that he has to work with what he has. The fact that they are allowing this buyout is good news for Austin fans hoping for a big offseason.
Sources: Austin FC exercise contract buyout on forward Gyasi Zardes.
The move removes Zardes from the club's roster and salary cap, freeing up flexibility.
Zardes, 33, is the 10th all-time leading scorer in MLS history with 106 regular season goals.

Some parts proud, some parts ashamed, but the numbers don’t lie. The “personal video” from Grace Potter was a treat.
