We are putting our 14.5 year old dog down tomorrow and EVERYTHING is making me cry. Today's YNWA is going to absolutely destroy me. I don't even care if they win. Just love your people (and your dogs) as we walk through this life.

Thank you Mo. Sad he missed the penalty kick today, but I logged back on to twitter this morning just to like his tweet. www.cnn.com/2025/08/09/w...

Madison United won the Wisconsin Cup! 2-0 but WI Conquerors had some fast young players. Fun game to watch and bonus: I got to see my kid play again!

When the going gets tough, Swiftie soccer fans make bracelets. Stop by the Flock tent at tonight’s FMFC game for free stickers and bracelets and hope.

He may be my new favorite baseball player. Got a little teary eyed myself when I watched his post-game interview.

Never thought I’d agree with a sentence starting with “At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers…” but here we are. 20+ years later and the remix is even worse than the original.
At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers went to Congress for authorization. Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval is illegal. Full stop.

But he’s never been held accountable for any of the illegal things he’s done in his life so why not drag us all down with him
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Sounds like quite a few of us got suspended from Threads today. I’ve been trying to interact less with Meta, so maybe this is a good thing…All I posted was pictures of the protest so I’m not sure why that is ban-worthy?

Airplane internet is awesome. Currently listening to @talkinflock.bsky.social with @spokanesoccershow.com and @robchappell365.bsky.social on our way to Spokane for tomorrow’s @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social game. First visit to Spokane- very excited!

When the camera panned to Jurgen’s big smile after Salah’s goal….😭❤️😭

It just seems like both Palace and Liverpool are filled with and led by decent people. ❤️⚽️. (Has anyone ever made a documentary about Palace? …Like “being Liverpool” (my fav doc of all time)
Winners recognize winners 👏

FA Cup holders Crystal Palace and Premier League champions Liverpool each give each other a guard of honor on the final day of the PL season.

The good news: @meninblazers.bsky.social posted a clip featuring my favorite USL local soccer team! 🦩

The bad news: it’s this…

(It’s over on Twitter. I refuse to link to anything on that platform)

So happy for Crystal Palace! (And now “Glad all over” will be in my head all day.)

😭😭😭 (and puts his post-game tears in such a meaningful context) - what a beautiful piece of writing.

Ok. This song I don’t know. I love it but what is it?

Happy soccer players awkwardly dancing in a full stadium while the crowd sings is the best thing ever.

As I’m watching #LIVTOT I’m wondering if @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social can connect #YNWA to Tuberculosis? (Also everyone should read his latest book “Everything is Tuberculosis”)

Tough @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social loss but we got to meet a lot of awesome people from the @brickyardbattalion.com and argue over which is Peter Wilt’s favorite team…⚽️🦩
