A strongly accented English explainer of a VAR call overlaid with Spanish language commentary amidst English graphics while streaming on Peacock is exactly how the U-20 World Cup is meant to be enjoyed.

I am once again begging FIFA to stop awarding English broadcast rights to FOX.

So you’re telling me that Austin could paint some more rainbow crosswalks and then the Governor will halt the plan to waist $6-10 billion to allow for more traffic on I-35 through the heart of Austin?

Sounds like a good deal. Let’s do this!

Or as Mr. Lowey would claim, the little ol’ grassroots opposition led by the Travis County Republican Party against Big Public Employee Unions.

I do wish Love Austin would be more direct and say that Texas Republicans want to defund Austin rather than dancing around the topic.

I am finding it hard to believe that anyone at Apple works on UI anymore. The Windows Vista Aero style in iOS 26 is just extraordinarily chaotic, not fluid, and flat out unenjoyable.

I regret upgrading.

The Federation widely promoting the appointment of an official who struggles at the MLS level really piles on the pressure for other women in the role.

Hopefully we can raise the standard of officiating across the board - regardless of gender - because we sure need it.
