Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

People are weird.

“Alexa, change the president.”

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

    Very frustrated. Been trying to stream, yeasterday and today, without cable (which I did with almost all of the men’s cup last summer using Telemundo).

    Time says free streaming is possible:

    Telemundo, a free over-the-air station in much of the country, is broadcasting 10 World Cup matches in Spanish—including the June 9 Colombia-Mexico match and the June 10 and France vs. Colombia on June 13. Most other matches can be viewed with Spanish commentary via … NBC Deportes website or app. CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that viewers needed to sign in with a pay TV account to stream via NBCDeportes.com. But it looks like this step is unnecessary. We were able to successfully stream the Sweden-Nigeria match on the site in Spanish on Monday afternoon without signing in or providing proof of a pay TV subscription.

    I’ve been trying both in Safari and with Chrome; I’ve taken off Private browsing, turned off Adblock, and now disabled Symantic w/no luck at all. I guess I should try clearing Flash, so I’ll do that now. It’s driving me bananas.

    Any advice would be met with great gratitude. I’m going mad with frustration.

    And one of the announcers doesn’t know that the Mexican wave isn’t an American baseball thing.

    Japan got the HUGE benefit of a dubious foul called on the Swiss GK on a 50-50 ball which the Japanese attacker did touch first, but which the GK then touched and deflected *before* colliding with the attacker. The Swiss created far more strong attacking and potential goal-scoring chances than the Japanese, especially during the second-half, but couldn’t finish any of them.

    @cmorenc: Agree. Can’t believe that was a call, much less a yellow card! If I were the Swiss goalie I’d be spitting mad. Japan got lucky, and the Swiss the opposite.

    @grrljock:Thanks. It was possible last summer, and bloody fantastic, so I thought it would be similar. But apparently the rights were sold differently for this year. What Time mentioned might be possible for people with an android or iOs.
