I had a professor at OU that I loved going to visit during office hours because we would talk about Saul Williams poetry and how he used Shakespeare to teach about colonialism in his native Nigeria.

In times of great strife the performing arts, especially dance, become a cudgel with which to hold back the forces of darkness.
When we are no longer safe to dance we are no longer safe to live.
Free your hips, free your people.

Miami will never be a "normal" club. They will always be playing with fire or testing the limits of the rules.
One day it will all collapse like a flan.

Maybe the most transcendent thing about Darlington Nagbe is that he always seems free to choose. Most of us act from necessity; dribble 'til we're trapped or lose the ball, score as many goals as we can, go as far as our talent will stretch. We don't stop until we have to. Nagbe chooses.

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

A bunch actually.
They've got a few guys Wil doesn't seem to like as well.
A good GM could make it happen.

I think there was a mayor of Columbus that got kicked out of OSU and ran like a corrupt adult bookstore before running for office.
@knaas.bsky.social do you know who im talking about by chance?

If I was Jacen's agent I would demand a trade, not a promise that "we'll see what changes next year". Im talking 100% pack up the apartment and tell Issa to start making calls.
We all know they got calls about him both windows so call em back now.

Does me being fascinated that a club with a 8k seat stadium like St Mirren has a "notoriously ill behaved mascot" called Paisley Panda count as SPL discourse?

Andrew Johnson @ratcalledaj.bsky.social · 4d

Certainly a choice.
