Godzilla and King Kong, two besties hanging out #art

Woohoo! Finally! Also, Pagliacci kept The Roldan in rotation! 😍

Brian Schmetzer up after the game. Schmetzer told a story of an ECS drummer who gives him his drum sticks after games, but Schmetzer didn’t take them after the RSL loss. He made sure to take them tonight, and will hold onto them to keep the magic going.

These started today. Anyone had one yet and can give a review?

Dear @mayor.seattle.gov, Please use whatever tools you have available to you to get cars out of the core of our city. Cars ruin cities, and their use in the downtown area is not inevitable. I never need to see a car in Pioneer Square, Occidental, or Pike Place ever again.

Ellison, Musk, and Bezos now own Warner Bros, Paramount, MGM, Twitter/X, 15% of TikTok, and the Washington Post. It's not consolidation, it's capture. buttondown.com/natebowling/...

I get the desire for a club-owned, soccer specific stadium. But for me personally, unless there were massive improvements to public transit between Seattle and Renton, this would mean giving up season tickets. Plus having to endure the inevitable nonstop "Renton Sounders" jokes

ALERT ALERT THIS IS NOT A DRILL. PAGLIACCI AND TACO TIME COLLAB PIZZA

Good vibes in the locker room 💫 The squad recognized some big milestones and celebrated two big birthdays after the match!

Defendiendo hasta el silbatazo final 😱

Schemtz says we're making the playoffs. Let's fucking go! #EBFG

NO WAY! Ragen just absolutely robbed a 100% goal with a goal-line clearance.

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

The worst part of this whole "6 years left on lumen contract / Renton is the current best move" posturing is that, if they don't move to Longacres the damage to the supporter base will be done, the loyalty and trust lost and the Sounders will need to try to rebuild with all that from scratch.

I truly cannot believe that after this summer, with Seattle putting on a show in the world cup and packing the streets with their passion for soccer, that they want to move to a 25k seat SSS in Renton. Insane.

We are told a NPS of 37 is “not good.”

Hiii Hugo!!

A move to Renton would require a huge recasting of the Sounders matchday fan base. The urban stadium is a huge part of the appeal. The convergence of mass transit is the appeal. The myriad bar and restaurant options is the appeal. The post match nightlife is the appeal. Renton ain’t it.

Carter says Sounders are 24th in average ticket prices. We may need to fact-check that…

If the Sounders would lose you in a move to Renton, let them know at customerservice@soundersfc.com.

Renton Sounders is a shitty club name.

Some people collect shoes or video games, I collect book holds. And I have to move them around when one library's holds gets full. I love @libbyapp.com 😍🥰📚📚

Every day we get closer to this:

We’re currently running a 15% off deal on our Supporter plan. If you’d like to support local soccer journalism, this is a pretty good way to do it. www.sounderatheart.com/support-socc...

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

I believe in Nouhou!! Also that was on target and beautiful.

9/ That cafe meeting, Kao asserted, was just one episode in a sprawling pay-to-play operation in Congress. He and his close associates donated nearly $900K to dozens of politicians, allowing Navatek to establish operations in half a dozen states with $40M+ a year in government funds.

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

I just finished Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke! I didn't mean to pick it up while mid-read of two other books, I just wanted to see the first sentence... but it grabbed hold and now it's over. What's a book that hooked you on the first page?

Update: We’re fucked. Southwest and American Airlines are cancelling flights too

Oh my god, it's the guy in Faith's comic

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

Joey Scoops! This is great news. I also hope it means the Leagues Cup exists solely as a warm weather tournament in Mexico/southern US markets over the course of a few weeks in late January/early February. Would make sense for both leagues.

ECS at half

Melinda Jacobson and Dale Osterud’s non-recall of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson was a media stunt that the mass media fell for Two disgruntled constituents had no legally sufficient grounds to start a recall of the Emerald City's chief executive, but Seattle newsrooms rewarded their ploy for…

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

I don’t have an MBA, but a crowded market is probably good for the local businesses who call Pike Place home. The only thing missing from the street is more public seating.

The Sounders field a starting lineup with a combined salary of $1.8 million, the salary of a single max-TAM player in 2026. Congrats, Adrian! You did it! You found the most efficient roster-spend starting 11! Come collect your prize.
