Slot is gonna role out a 4-4-2 against Inter, isn’t he

It’s genuinely unbelievable how much the average right winger’s conception of history is based on post-war American advertising of the mid 20th century
Terminally online Right wingers are telling on themselves

Correct.
🗣️ “I hate that it's gotten to the point where Salah felt he had to do this, but I'm not against him speaking out because there's a rot within the club at the moment. You go through our squad, you can't name four players who are playing well this season. Not one. And yet, it's Mo that got dropped.”

Some #Liverpool thoughts:

Anyone who has watched this team the last 4 years or so knows something to heart that cannot be denied: Konate is not an elite defender. He's very, very good. But elitism is determined by consistency. And Konate is utterly inconsistent.

Give it to Miami. They stepped it up
December 6, 2025 at 9:46 PM
And there it is. 1-1. Miami doesn’t want to play soccer today
December 6, 2025 at 9:07 PM
One of those games when Miami forgets they have Messi and just dillies with the ball like a headless chicken

Inter Miami kind of stinking up the joint but Vancouver just hasn’t broken through yet

US soccer announcers talk too much. It’s truly annoying

MLS officiating is so uneven. Minimal contact -> foul & free kick. Violent elbow to the face -> yellow.

As I was saying

Typical Liverpool performance for this season. Moments of total brilliance followed by incoherence followed by more brilliance. When they figure this out, they will be great

Why does Gapko exist.
December 6, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Ok, it’s not bizarre. It looks like a team that is unsure of how the manager wants them to play. The decisionmaking is slower than expected so, to me, that suggests confusion.

A nice stretch right now though #Liverpool.
December 6, 2025 at 5:48 PM
This team just looks like they are not locked in. What is it going to take? Just bizarre stuff from Liverpool
December 6, 2025 at 5:44 PM
My formula for Liverpool today: press and when you win the ball, push it quickly to get shots
December 6, 2025 at 5:25 PM
In spite of Liverpools absolute inconsistency this season, a win today puts them in 5th place on goal differential.

Pack it up, pack it in, let us begin…
I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

World Cup Draw:

USMNT -> pretty good! But wouldn't want to face Turkey
Colombia -> pretty good! Portugal will be tough

But both have very manageable draws & that will make my entire household happy

Elon Musk has tweeted nonstop about white babies, white genocide, population decline, and fertility rates for the past week.

This is what it's all about, folks. The supervillain plot is tweeted in real time.

White supremacy. Fear. Anxiety. Hatred. A loathing of diversity.

Hate all you want. I don't care. I love the show. And most of the "criticisms" in this piece are silly. But do you.
Well I suppose it had to happen eventually: Freddie DeBoer has written something that I agree with 100%.

I don’t know, I still randomly trip out over the fact that the President told states to specifically gerrymander for him. And they did.
