don't invoke something you don't actually give a shit about as a whataboutism to deflect from what your program is currently doing
It’s wild how Haiti continues to have the modern world shook by its presence.
The new @leanderalphabet.bsky.social book “The Long Game” is a great primer although clock would be ticking on the group stage book-finishing feat.

If Sorsby had "hurt people and done bad things," the odds are VERY HIGH this booster would still be on this exact podcast backing him. ASK ME HOW I KNOW (that's rhetorical, please don't ask me to explain my whole career)
I tried. I did. I made it 20 minutes into episode 2 and I’m good. Good luck to those men.
I started the USMNT doc on HBO trying to get some feeling about this team, and once we get to Weah like 15 minutes in, well, that’s good stuff.
I get the decision to tell Pulisic’s story first (even as I held my nose through it) but man, you get to Weah and his story and his family and just, someone in US soccer needs to figure out how better to tell these stories.
The head of NASA responding to ppl upset that no women are part of the Artemis III crew with "those raising this concern may not be aware of the pipeline of crews“ is hilarious to me. Ppl are mad about systemic issues in NASA and he’s all, “maybe you haven't considered systemic issues.” Checkmate!
I don’t have strong feelings on this. I was disappointed that there is no woman (or, gasp, women); I also get that these decisions are complicated. His boilerplate response, like no one has ever said “it’s based on merit” and there are “pipelines,” is just 👎, though.
