Wow. Nevermind. #cro up on a goal in the 109th minute! #WorldCup

End of the first half of extra time. There’s still 15 minutes left, but I’m thinking were going to have another penalty shootout. #WorldCup #eng #cro #CROENG

Wow that goal! #ENG #WorldCup

I just got another violation of community standards, this time from a post last year about funny books. I can’t even see what it was.

From Reddit:

Remember when the right was screaming “All lives matter”, and then when called out, they would say “I’m saying that all lives matter! Why is that offensive?”

This. This is why. Because they never for one second believed that all lives actually matter. They just used the phrase as a way to demand that people saying “black lives matter” shut up. But then when it comes to actually acting like all lives matter, they gleefully throw babies into cages and force them to represent themselves in court.

This #rus #cro match is intense. I feel penalty kicks coming. #WorldCup

Surely @ADizzle23 is getting save of the week again. That d̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ flying save last night was amazing to watch. Just a solid brick wall. #BAONPDX

End of the first half. @ThornsFC up 3-0.

Watching people argue over the question if it is okay to cry as a player during your world cup match as your team is losing with only minutes left. The word being tossed around is “embarrassing”.

Toxic masculinity at its finest.

“But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

“And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.”

Why do we call it soccer? It was a fad at Oxford University in England during the 1870s to shorten words and add “er” to them. Only one of these made it to the United States: soccer. (As)soc(iation football) + er. They had also modified football to be footer.

Beware of outrage fatigue. This administration will keep adding to its list of unbelievable, cruel, maddening and shocking practices and policies, hoping citizens of good conscience grow too exhausted and numb to respond. That’s why checking Trump’s power this Nov is so vital.

If you think authoritarianism cannot happen here in America, I lived through a time when it already did: to 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of us citizens. It starts by dehumanizing a group, then spreads through fear, ignorance and hate. Recognize the patterns. Remember history.

Men’s World Cup 2026 will expand to 48 teams. I assume the reason behind this is in part because of the co-hosting duties of US, Canada, and Mexico means all three national teams automatically qualify.
