Well, hello there, SocTakes crowd. Remember me? It’s been a while. Even longer than before. Sorry about that, the pandemic, and life, and the universe, and everything, it all happened. You know the drill by now, it’s January February March April, which means the start of #HipsterManifesto season, and a perfect time for another installment of Understanding The Pyramid, the inconsistently-published series wherein yours truly runs the gamut of what’s what in the North American soccer system.

On New Year’s Day, 2024, in the historic Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto, the puck dropped to start a landmark game between teams from Toronto and New York City.

Ah, the PlayStation. Sony’s debut in the world of video game hardware thanks in no small part to a colossal fumble by the once and future kings Nintendo. It sounds like apocrypha, but the old legend is true and we have the proof, thanks to Ben Heck getting his hands on some prototype hardware.

Well hello there, oft-neglected personal site I’m still paying for. It’s been, what, two years and change since the ThinkPad T530 project post? Yep, that’s long enough. More accurately, it was long enough long enough ago that I’m wasting time with this “bit” for an “introduction”. Time to finally shake the rust off and get back on my bullshit.

i love MASL bullshit so much if only the @gosidekicks still offered tickets for less than I pay for FC Dallas :/

Meanwhile in the MASL, which remains the most wildly entertaining thing in American soccer, dudes are just going full malice in the palace. At the center of it all is Stefan Mijatovic. I remember Stef from the 1st-ever TST, where he was banned for punching Noah Beck in the face. https://t.co/4ha4iQChTi
