Like I probably wanted more on the labor battle side of things and some of the structural stuff at U.S. Soccer, but I'm a sicko for that kind of stuff and I recognize that page counts are real. Looking forward to picking it up in hard copy this spring!

I got a chance to read @leanderalphabet.bsky.social 's The Long Game and really, really enjoyed it--particularly as someone who comes at the sport primarily as a women's soccer fan but also general nerd. If you've absorbed a lot of USMNT-adjacent media, this was great for connecting the dots.

The thought lodged in my head β€” intrusively, as I’d rather not connect the names of these two people, frankly β€” is that Claudine Gay is owed _such_ an apology.

I get the desire to be totally sure, but it was getting ridiculous.

THEY TOOK LONG ENOUGH! Unless the snow had stopped by noon, there was no reasonable expectation that anything would be shoveled out.

When we first moved into our now-house, we heard something and my husband said "It's either water or ghosts. I hope it's ghosts." (It was just something flapping around but still the fear that it was water was very real.)

5 women, one women's team, and one mixed team have won Olympic gold medals for Team USA at these Olympics. Meanwhile, just one individual male athlete and no men's teams have won gold medals for Team USA

Makes you wonder: when will America start investing in men's sports

To the people who not only shoveled their sidewalks, but shoveled the curb cuts (and pretty clearly did another pass after the plows came through): It is my hope that the best things happen to you.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

Boston French Toast Level: 2 Slices/Guarded

So, megahumungous storm developing this weekend.

Staying at 2 Slices/Guarded for now, because NWS models are very conflicted about whether it will bombogenize over the dreaded 40/70 Benchmark and slam us. We'll keep you posted, natch.

A lot going on right now, but just a note that I will be at SPSA on Friday/Saturday (and late Thursday)! Looking forward to meeting folks and seeing some great work, and always looking to talk to people curious about textbook creation!
