Still feels surreal.

We did it guys. From the lab to the pitch, TCC is here to stay.
TY all so very much 🙏

I decided to make a video about it since a lot of DJ’s and producers have been showing interest in this laptop stand, and as you can see from this video, I’m sort of a “laptop stand connoisseur” from all the stands I own… anuways here’s why this one is my favorite:
If you're waiting for statements from @MLS supporter groups asking why a league that blathers on about "Inclusiveness" refuses to compete with their top teams in the @usopencup and support the game across the country, don't hold your breath.
You see friends ... it's a lie. A big, fat wannabe lie. Every last bit of it.
As I've said a million times (and I admit I love being proven right over and over), MLS does not care about the game. It cares about one thing, and one thing only: Making as much money as it possibly can for their investors FROM the game. Nothing more. Nothing less. If they could make more money selling turtle soup, they'd drop all of this in a heartbeat.
And at the risk of being Twittered, Here's an observation for you edgy MLS fans who are obviously more preoccupied with "Why can't we have flares, too?" than actually supporting the game itself at all levels:
There is no fan base that is more openly driven by social progressive values than MLS fans, specifically their SGs. All of the messaging you'll see from them specifically is quite left leaning. And before you pee yourself calling me an "ist" of some sort and try to dox me, please note that's not an indictment of what you believe. You do you. It's just an observation, nothing more.
But yet, these same banner-laden stans will gladly run over their own relatives to get to the box office and support the most openly ruthless capitalist sports venture in this country. They will openly fill the pockets of the very greed machine they so vocally yet AT in all other walks of life.
In case you weren't aware of it: The Investor Operators of your franchises are literally the 1%ers. "But hey, just keep giving us the soccerz, overlords!"
That's ... confusing, yes? A bit of an enigma? I think that's a valid question.
And these same "Real Inter United FC" fans will utterly ignore, and in fact laugh at, the very "Inclusiveness" they so passionately scream about in their X posts and all other areas whenever someone lifts a phone up to record them so they can be on the Jumbotron at their games.
Conditional inclusiveness. Interesting concept.
And for the people who copy what they see everywhere else, what's the one thing they won't copy? The support for competition, which is the very soul of this game everywhere else, that "The Flare Needies" use as a punchline.
Remember a couple of years ago when a bunch of owners in Europe tried to start a Super League that was bereft of promotion? Remember what happened? The outcry of vast swathes of supporters OF THOSE TEAMS literally screamed it away in 48 hours.
It was plainly obvious for all to see that they get it. It's also as plainly obvious that MLSers don't.
And here's one more nugget of truth to crunch on in between the moments y'all scream "ATTENDANCE!!" and "RATINGS!!":
@thesoccerdon told us not too long ago that one of his concerns about being in the Cup was the condition of the pitches his franchises (that's right, edgy flare worshipping MLS people: They are HIS franchises, not yours) had to play on and how they didn't meet his glorious standards.
Soooo, the condition of the pitches don't meet his lofty standards for MLS team, but I guess for the NextPro teams? Meh, ok. Besides, they don't make money for him, so whatever. Break your ankle. Like he gives a shit.
And when ... not if, but when ... he comes gunning to run over @USLChampionship with a steamroller, the response from the MLS masses will be ...
Nothing. Pfffft, "minor league" teams. You don't matter. WE, the inclusive people (except for you all, that is) matter.
And he will, friends. As sure as the sky is blue on a sunny day, he will. And the stans will basically ignore it, then passionately ask when the next 36 year old aging superstar will come over so HE can make more money.
So, enjoy this while you can. His goal is to incorporate Liga MX into his fold and create an empire. been saying that for years. Just watch.
Sadly, in this movie, Darth Vader wins.
