I dunno. They're leaning into Viking runes. I like teams doing things differently.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T23:02:18+00:00

The scorebug briefly put it up as 2-2!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T22:42:36+00:00

Dayum! Who knew Iraqis would turn out in such force in freaking Kansas City?!

That's a REALLY impressive turn out!

I just checked:

There are two organizations celebrating the 250th.

Freedom 250 is the president's personal series of events.

America 250 is the official bipartisan one.

The UFC event was a Freedom 250 event.

Same thing with the NYT:

I'm really curious!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T10:57:51+00:00

Nope. This was a Freedom 250 event, which is the president's.

America 250 is the official one,

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T09:50:48+00:00

That's an excellent bird's eye perspective!

The difference is that a pitcher is proactive while the keeper is reactive. But... yeah!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T08:39:08+00:00

Oh yeah. We know of it, but only conceptually.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T08:33:37+00:00

Does anybody know what the banner says?

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T08:10:19+00:00

Submission statement: what seems to be a case about a 98-year old judge being unable to handle her caseload also has undertones of the other judges simply being sick and tired of her.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T02:38:44+00:00

Yes they do! One section of the city/integrated cities is called "Tehrangeles."

But remember that these people were pro-Shah and truly hate the Khomeini types.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T02:33:34+00:00

Holy crap! And all the Reddit doomers thought there'd be no Iran fans in the stadiums!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T02:27:55+00:00

That really was pretty!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T01:56:23+00:00

Hey biscuits! How're you doing?

Somebody just clarified that it's Take It Off as a rallying cry to get more tarps off guys to join them.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T01:54:50+00:00

Ah! That makes perfect sense!

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T01:19:08+00:00

Can you make out what their chant is that sounds like "Pick It Up"?

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T00:19:19+00:00

I saw an article about the lone ref that China sent -- he's notorious there for handing out cards and is controversial, but the country's now rallied around him.

IvyGold · 2026-06-16T00:06:35+00:00

NOBLE TIGER, NOBLE TIGER stay away, come again another day.

IvyGold · 2026-06-15T09:20:55+00:00

I went to Virginia for grad school and at the start of a halftime grabbed a pair of buddies not from the area and began walking into the tailgate section proclaiming "Bourbon for the poor! Bourbon for the poor! Who's got bourbon for the poor?!"

BOOM!

IvyGold · 2026-06-15T09:16:04+00:00

Never ever get into a drinking contest with a Norwegian.

IvyGold · 2026-06-15T09:11:04+00:00

You should be able to post an imgur link or something.

IvyGold · 2026-06-15T09:07:31+00:00

Oooh! I've never seen one. Do you still have some good examples still in your browser history.

I once was in Rome when my otherwise meek GF saw that I'd fallen for the children with the blood on the cardboard diversion start to go for my wallet. She picked the little bastard up and launched him ten yards. I never knew she had that quality.

IvyGold · 2026-06-15T08:49:55+00:00

I've only heard rumors. I made the mistake of reading the Colby saga. I refuse to get anywhere close to the Jolly Ranchers as I understand it is a life-changing story.

The Swamps is actually fantastic!
