The Swamp

Dest acl sucks. Him and a Robinson bring a lot of class and stability getting forward. No choice but to play more defensively at least on one side. Might suit them with the better competition. M Robinson back though. Wonder how he looks


Nah. You can put Weah over there.. He has played that ...

For anyone who saw Simon Rosenberg's meltdown in the Chotiner New Yorker interview , this is much more reasonable take from someone who's actually part of Biden's campaign on the polling numbers and where they feel like the risk and opportunity is. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alarmed-by ...

You just love to see it. Puli, Wes, Sargent, Malik, Dest, Richards, Johnny, and Jedi are all playing at really really high levels right now, and guys like Pepi, Haji, Balogun, Musah, Weah, Pefok, Vazquez, Zendejas, Paredes aren't too far behind. It's crazy that if we were without Tyler Adams and Gio ...

I mean it keeps the lie in the media longer. And it will eventually run its course, but to me you have to push back.

Anyhoo, I was entertained by Vaush's commentary on Britt's rebuttal. It starts at 34:20 and goes on for a bit.

And since we didn't put together a thread on the W Gold Cup:

* The shit that Colombia pulled in that game was next level shithousery. They were extremely lucky to have a terrible ref, as they should've seen at least 2 red cards. And that's just from watching extended highlights.

* In particular ...

Congrats! Very cool to hear the news!

Has anyone tried one of the language learning apps/programs like duolingo, babbel, or rosetta stone?

Since we are going to Italy at the end of May, and trying to stay out of the normal, big tourist areas, (current itinery: few days in Florence, couple of days in Bologna, couple of days in Parma ...

One RMNP note is that the West side of the park (from Grand Lake to the top of Trail Ridge Road) imo is better than the East side. There are about 1/10 the visitors so it's much much quieter, and it's the only place I've ever been to where I've never *not* seen at least a couple moose (we've ...

Johnny Soccer (i.e., Johnny Cardoso), 22 yo midfielder for the USMNT, recently got a transfer from Brazil to Real Betis in La Liga, and is absolutely lighting it up in his first few games (and three straight 90s). Nice to have a little depth at the 6/8 spot for the US team. I don't feel like he's ...

I think a woman Republican president is a lot closer than some think. It'll be a Maggie Thatcher situation.

A female Republican - unless she's a complete nutjob like Greene - will naturally appear "moderate", and voters like that. Plus, she'll get a lot of votes from conservatives for the ...

Anyone been to Mérida, Mexico in Yucatan? We're going there as a family for two weeks at the end of January, and I'd love any recommendations. We're planning on doing the cenotes and Mayan archeological sites, and a few days at the beach, but curious if anyone has been to the city and if there's ...

I'm curious how this has gone for you AB, one year later!

I started learning Spanish in March and have been doing it pretty intensively, and more recently I've started teaching english classes for recent immigrants which is good Spanish practice because their English level is really basic, and just ...

Ha, we live in the Golden area. We lived in Denver for about 10 years and loved it, but once we had a kid (+ COVID), we were constantly driving across the city to get to the foothills and mountains to do stuff outside, so moving to the west side made more sense.

To clear up some points of possible ...

Anyone have strong opinions on (middle school) kids headphones? Specific ones or a more general yes/no on whether to give them in-ear like airpods?


My only opinion is to get them ones with built in volume limiting. We got these for our (much younger) kid, and they're fantastic and would totally ...

The Dutch just elected a fascist, so that’s fun.


Is this offset by Poland electing a total normie (no, but a glimmer of decent news in the long march toward populist authoritarians maybe)? https://apnews.com/article/poland-prime-minister-tusk-government-warsaw-8fd0ac25be8fee9f51ece920f493dc1f ...

Definitely not shedding any tears for Chauvin, but I would prefer that prisons be a safe environment for everyone there (and maybe like 1/5 of the current prison population in general, but that's a separate issue) than to be able to relish my favorite bad guys getting messed up in there.

It's a really good mix of actual analysis with comedy. Definitely my favorite place for US soccer content, and their Monday review pod for patrons is absolutely hilarious. And watching along live in their discord with games ...

If Reus didn't screw up an amazing pass from Gio in the 88th minute (iirc), it would've been Milan and Dortmund going through on the backs of two Americans, after Pepi sent PSV through as well. Pretty fun to be a USMNT fan these days with all the guys playing well at top European clubs.

What's up y'all! I too got a similar inkling as Zaz (wonderful to hear that you're doing so well, sounds like a great life tbh!), or maybe a nudge from one of you dorks on the hellsite, and thought I'd pop in to say hi. I'm honestly amazed that so many of you have been going at it here for so long ...
