⚽️ Woohoo! Lower league takes the lead! #IXI 1 - Atlanta United 0

∞

⚽️ The #IXI were having a good run there for a bit, but have had a harder time the last couple games, and are coming off a very recent match without much recovery time.

Hoping for a good showing against Atlanta United. #OpenCup

🎶 Listening to Hum’s “You’d Prefer to Be an Astronaut” album and I keep thinking “how were you making post-hardcore way back in 1994?”

Ok you gearheads. Riddle me this:

is there a good backpack with a backpack?

I’m thinking something like:

near backpack has clothes, etc. outer backpack has laptop etc.

This exists for outdoors (I can put my little dayhiker on my backpacking pack), but I’m not sure if a good traveler version exists?

📚 Sharing for no reason:

"Television, as I have implied earlier, serves us most usefully when presenting junk-entertainment; it serves us most ill when it co-opts serious modes of discourse—news, politics, science, education, commerce, religion—and turns them into entertainment packages. We would all be better off if television got worse, not better. The A-Team and Cheers are no threat to our public health. 60 Minutes, Eye-Witness News and Sesame Street are."

Another shirt update (probably one of those crypto-fascist brands like Grunt Style):

It’s ok to be American

My dude: you are not oppressed.

Saw somebody with a bunch of religious-iconography tattoos and a shirt that said:

pray for peace prepare for war

One must decide whether to live into their faith or abandon it when it’s hard.

(Yes, I know there is history behind that and similar phrases.)
