Congrats to Spain. And. In the best news, we can all stop watching Fox now! Oh but in sad news, no more Zlatan. So did the World Cup end because Spain won, or Zlatan’s contract ended. 🤭
As the kids might say, STFU Alexi Lalas!! 🙄 Goodness. You already got kicked off one commentary show and you’re about to lose another saying “there are a lot of red cards that should be overturned.” This was the right call, why are you arguing with your current commentary team.
Ketanji Brown Jackson has a law degree from Harvard & 25+ yrs of experience yet had her qualifications questioned when nominated for the Supreme Ct. Meanwhile Betsy DeVos & Linda McMahon get to be the Secretary of Ed w/o degrees in education or teaching experience. I wonder why🤔
I just watched a man spend the last month declining to actually speak at his own rallies....so he could stand on stage and dance...to Ave Maria.
Lol.
Y'all are dissecting this woman's campaign already...as if literally anything justifies voting for that.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
