i’m perplexed by why there’s only one premier league game on boxing day, but then again, peacock probably would only grudgingly let me watch one of them anyway.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

taxation without representation. say the word and we can all just set our withholding to zero.
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

this game was there for the taking, sadly. we had a ton of shots in the second half. the first wasn’t great; they had a ton of odd-man chances we had to defend. almost every indoor game is 2.25mi of running; these teams are just faster and younger. i passed much better tonight; touch is coming back.

forget all the tourists that i see enjoy walking and Ting around boston every summer, what about all the people who leave their parking lots and cul-de-sacs to enjoy the reliable, interconnected transit and walkable paradise of disneyworld? and yet so many fight it.
When Americans travel they see how enjoyable life can be when cities are not designed around cars and ease of parking. Yet when they return many still fight against changes that would deliver the kind of dense, walkable areas they loved on vacation.

welp, played the full game in goal because we are that short on volunteers. gave up one on a quieter that deflected away from me and one nice far post finish that i didn’t palm hard enough. hated that because it was from the hated “hooting forward”. if i played d he’d’ve had a shoulder in him.

man this is brutal. Just a reminder: Marc Andreessen took a man with zero experience in either tech or finance, and hired him at the most powerful and influential venture capital firm in the industry, solely on the basis that he strangled one of my neighbors to death for being Black.

sambas are indoor soccer shoes, after all, so when i forgot one clear, i thought maybe i’d be able to deal with it okay. they’re okay for kicking but i guess i massively underappreciate the rigidity of the cleats for accelerating and turning and stopping.
