@Bubbles_NGS My super power is making it feel like time is standing still while I tell you a really boring story about my kid that only I think is cute.

So Wednesday, get up to Grand Blank and sing like it’s 2015. Sing like it matters. Sing louder than ever. Lift the boys. Convert the unconvinced. Make it impossible to ignore. Rouge et or, forevermore #DCTID

So this might look like just another pro‑vs‑amateur Open Cup match. Maybe the pros roll, but I still feel a little knot in my stomach, a need to prove it again. Because there are still people who don’t get it. There are still people who don’t see how special Detroit City FC is.

I was apparently badly under-armed when I was a truck driver back in the day, I didn't even have a broadsword much less any of these other weapons.
MSP Eighth District@MSPEighthDist

Mackinac County, Michigan. A semi-truck driver has been arrested following a traffic stop by the Michigan State Police (MSP) for driving violations on the Mackinac Bridge. During the stop, MSP discovered the driver was in possession of numerous illegal weapons and was committing multiple additional violations. On March 25, 2026, at approximately 6:48 p.m., a Motor Carrier Officer (MCO) from the MSP St. Ignace Post was conducting proactive patrol on the Mackinac Bridge when a semi-truck hauling a trailer was observed speeding and operating in a hazardous manner. The MCO initiated a traffic stop on the commercial motor vehicle for the violations. Upon contact, it was determined the driver had an active warrant for his arrest. The driver was taken into custody without incident. Further investigation revealed the driver was in possession of multiple illegal weapons and did not have a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). The following items were seized: • Fifteen double-edged knives, including three equipped with brass knuckle handles • Two throwing stars, each with four double-edged sides • Two additional sets of brass knuckles, including one spiked set • Five loaded pistols • One loaded rifle • One shotgun • One large double-edged sword with a 32-inch blade In addition to the weapons violations, the driver was found to be in possession of two open containers of alcohol. A subsequent inspection of the commercial vehicle also indicated the driver had allegedly falsified his electronic logging device records. The driver was arrested and lodged at the Mackinac County Jail. On March 26, 2026, the driver, identified as 54-year-old Eric Koroscik of Kingwood, Texas, was arraigned in the 92nd District Court in Mackinac County on one count of Carrying a Concealed Weapon. He was issued a personal recognizance bond. Additional charges are being sought for other applicable violations. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 10, 2026. The defendant is considered innocent unless proven guilty. MSP was assisted by the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office and the St. Ignace Police Department.

@NGSFamFriendly @Shuttlecock Totally agree. I am a big Star Wars fan and I hated this movie from the jump. I saw it opening night, and I haven't watched it since. This is, and was at the time, pretty much the universal consensus thinking my Star Wars nerd friends.

@Shuttlecock No, it was dogshit. Still is. Jar Jar is fucking dumb, the writing is atrocious, the directing worse, and it was pretty universally loathed by anyone to old enough to drive. Maybe in Retardistan it wasn't hated, but here in reality, yeah, dogshit.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

I don't care what the Detroit City haters say about us basically just rolling out the same roster as last year and hoping for different results. I think it is genius. These guys will be the most well-rested squad in USL since they haven't played a full game since last June.
