I still have the "Grant Wahl Soccer Calendar" active even though it is (obviously) blank.

It's why we have carhart-wearing American flag carrying dudes in the streets in Minnesota. Nobody likes to get invaded.

You will never have any food better than at a Vietnamese place with plastic chairs inches away from people on speeding mopeds.

No, Your Honor, You Can’t Call Yourself β€˜High Justice’ on the Ballot in Chinese (Published 2024)

My favorite case of candidates' names on ballots was the "flowery" language they used on Chinese translations in San Francisco. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/18/u...

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

No, Sandra. That's antisemitic.

And interestingly, in Iceland prohibition blocked the sale of beer -- but not wine or spirits -- until 1989.

Initially all alcohol was banned. But wine became legal in the 20s and spirits became legal in the 30s.

TBF:

The pedant in me wanted to immediately reply that Sanders wasn't elected to the senate until 2007*, but she has replies disabled *@#&%

* TBF I had to look up when exactly he was elected to the senate. But I knew it was after the Iraq War resolutions.

May said watching the strikes gave her a sense of comfort and closure, as she believes Iran helped extremist and insurgent groups fighting against the US-led coalition in the Iraq War.

Presumably the reporter did.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

I have more faith in the international footballing bodies than I do the US Congress but that is damning with faint praise

Why, and i know this might sound mad, can they not stop all the fouling at corners.

English so sick of American fans calling it "soccer" that they decided to play "rugger"

i just don't enjoy watching football games decided by who's better at corners

I wish I had any faith in the legislative bodies to fix this obvious and glaring problem. #Soccer #Congress

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two players chase a ball for 90 minutes and whoever forms a more impenetrable meat wall on corner kicks wins.

Cheering an arsenal own goal feels like one of those religious loopholes. Like you can't eat meat on Fridays but turtle and alligator count as fish.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
