  1. This is like trying to ask me which of my children I love more. I can love both seasons equally and for different reasons.
  2. I think I've posted this before but it is even more relevant now. I read this book at the end of last year and it's really good. I had a lot of misconceptions that it helped to clear up and a lot of the stories are very harrowing. One thing it showed me was that ICE may just be full of really horrible people who are now free to get away with all the things they wanted to do before but were held back from doing by previous administrations. And that previous administrations were also pretty awful and never tried to fix things either. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/625425/everyone-who-is-gone-is-here-by-jonathan-blitzer/
  3. Maybe the dessert was a dessert meme coin.
  4. Liverpool open Florian Wirtz transfer talks with Leverkusen By David Ornstein 15 May 23, 2025Updated 2:55 pm CDT Liverpool have opened talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the signing of playmaker Florian Wirtz. Communications between the two clubs had already been opened after an agreement was reached for Liverpool to sign right-back Jeremie Frimpong. Any move for the 22-year-old would represent a club record signing for Liverpool and would also make Wirtz the most expensive ever German player. On Friday, The Athletic reported Bayern Munich believed Wirtz would not join them this summer as he was on track for a move to Anfield, having also been a transfer target for the German champions. Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro said in April Wirtz had a “very high chance” of staying at the club this summer, but The Athletic reported earlier this month that Liverpool had made contact with the player’s representatives after holding a long-standing interest in acquiring the attacking midfielder. Wirtz signed a new contract with Leverkusen in 2022, extending his terms until 2027. He went on to become one of Europe’s greatly coveted talents, after being named Bundesliga’s Player of the Season in 2023-24, as he helped Xabi Alonso’s side to an unbeaten domestic campaign and a maiden Bundesliga title, notching 18 goals and 20 assists. The 22-year-old went on to register 16 goals and 15 assists this term, as Leverkusen finished 13 points behind Bundesliga champions Bayern, while Wirtz became a regular feature for Germany, making 29 appearances since making his senior debut in 2021. Wirtz scored twice in five matches for Julian Nagelsmann’s side at Euro 2024. What You Should Read Next Florian Wirtz is wanted by Liverpool, Man City and Bayern – but which club would he fit best? Tactical analysis of how the in-demand Germany international operates - and who might benefit most from adding him to their team Wirtz told Sports Illustrated in May he is “definitely keen” to “experience something new”, having completed six consecutive seasons at Leverkusen since joining from Cologne in 2020. The playmaker could be one of three key departures for Leverkusen this summer. The Athletic reported earlier in May that wing-back Frimpong was set to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed move to Liverpool, having agreed a five-year contract to join the Premier League champions following the upcoming departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Meanwhile, head coach Alonso announced he would depart the club at the end of the season after two-and-a-half years in charge. The Athletic reported that the former central midfielder is Real Madrid’s first-choice option to replace Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabeu, with the Italian becoming Brazil’s head coach on May 26. Liverpool won this season’s Premier League title with four matches to spare following a 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in April, levelling Manchester United’s record top-flight title haul (20).
  5. This has to break the bank, right? What's his valuation? This will take Diaz and Nunez both going, I bet.
  6. I wish someone would make a series adaptation of the Hampton Sides book "The Wide Wide Sea".
  7. Apple shooting in Hawaii. Yeah in. I wonder if Captain James Cook will make an appearance.
  8. Hmm. Maybe this is for the best? It all seemed way too rushed.
  9. Luke Jackson now 0-4 with a 5.52 ERA.
  10. Do I want to spend $20 on this? https://store.liverpoolfc.com/us/lfc-matchday-prog-29-crystal-palace-epl-2425
  11. Josh Smith is quite the rollercoaster ride. 8th to 1st to 9th?
  12. I guess they can engrave "lowest point total for champions since Leicester" on the trophy this weekend at Anfield.
  13. Supposedly these are the home and away shirts. Adidas is back and it's awesome. There's a 3rd kit image with Mo but it looks kinda fake.
  14. This is enjoyable. I love that he straight up destroyed the comic version of K2's origin. That's one aspect I do not enjoy, the idea that comics are canon. I specifically don't like it because not all of the writers are good at writing these stories like Gilroy can.
  15. The reason season 3 was chaotic was all because of Carmie. He was the one factor disrupting everything and creating needless chaos with the non-negotiables, the constantly changing menu, and his general obsessiveness. He's the only character that didn't grow because he's still broken. I think season 3 showed the concept of the restaurant was good but the execution was going to suck strictly because of Carmie. But yes, less Faks and no Cena cameos.
  16. 2 more seasons of this. This thread is going to be amusing.
  17. Tsimikas and Quansah got cooked a lot today. Bradley was okay but had some shaky moments. Nunez, again no idea what he's doing out there and I don't think he has a clue either. But again, who cares if we lose these matches. This is Arne seeing what he's got and deciding what to move on from.
  18. Szobo with the bomb. What a strike.
  19. Harvey Danger! That was a great sequence. Great ball in to Mo and a nice pass from Bradley.
