Organic is pretty easy to define actually: it's a large suite of traits which are agreed upon by the USDA or occasionally a state body. It's organic if the USDA says so.

Watching the plague spread across Africa, apparently from Cairo, shows how silly this whole exercise was. Whoever modeled it did not even take into account basic geographical and sociological facts. It would spread very rapidly up and down the Nile (with its extreme population density and interconnectedness), would…

Good lord, the announcer on that video sure knows how to celebrate a goal.

Funny, I thought it was the Croats who were insanely thuggish in this match. And what, three blatant handballs too? I will however concede that Rafa Marquez sigue siendo un asshole beyond compare.

Out here on the west coast most of us cheer for Mexico almost as enthusiastically as for the USMNT. I think the Mexico hate on here is just people channeling their inner racist mostly. Definitely the case in that uproxx article. I suspect what was written in there was mostly made up.

Sarcasm? After the massive bribery that bought the world cup for Qatar, a "nation" of a few hundred thousand citizens (and a million or so guest-worker-slaves), a "nation" that does not know how to play football at all, there surely cannot be any FIFA reputation left to ruin.

anecdotally in San Francisco at least, it is objectively huge and by no means confined to Hispanic audiences.

and failing to block the last shot that cost us the win.

Bradley had some visible erk moments (see gif above), but I would disagree that he sucked. He was super present and sometimes really essential.

Until the US advances, they will never get scrutinized, period.

I blame Geoff Cameron, possibly without any basis.

Bradley was essential for most of the game, unlike vs Ghana. But yes.

Am I right, was it that asshole Geoff Cameron who should have had the block on that second PT goal?

Most positive thing to say about the quality is that it was a very sportsmanlike game on both sides. Especially given the number of injuries. It was nice to see both sides being respectful and not allowing frustration to keep them from playing professionally. Portugal being an obvious counterpoint.

For the true geek though, nothing can beat the Makita electric bike. Runs on Makita's standard LXT batteries!

The FBI was apparently happy to hire Aaron McFarlane, a former Oakland cop who was implicated in the Riders scandal, was shown in court to have filed false police reports, and was twice accused of using extreme excessive force. McFarlane of course went on to murder Boston Bomber best buddy Igragim Todashev in a Miami…

Dude, training wheels are totally passe. Most kids, in San Francisco at least, learn to cruise on balance bikes first, and then transition directly to pedal bikes, without ever using training wheels. Much more efficient and fun learning process. My kid was pedaling before his third birthday.
