I’ve tried to learn but of all the figure skating events, ice dancing is still the one where I can’t tell “pretty good” from “great”.

For truly Great Olympics you need either 1. all-time great peaks in their best event or 2. Complete random blacks out and medals with a performance they’ll never be able to replicate.

These things are the BUSINESS

They’re calling it the most correct book ever written.

The tacit assumption that the normative human being is an adult man and everyone else is a deviation—once you see it you can’t stop seeing it.

This poor baby. The instant we get power back, use the remainder of that idiot ICE budget to buy him and all the other suffering children whose names we don’t know years of therapy, college tuition, all the toys and vacations they want. Seize some assets in criminal proceedings if we run out of $.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

Seahawks fulfilling their destiny by scoring 29 with one (1) offensive touchdown.
A Reddit user identifies the boy who took a Grammy from Bad Bunny in the halftime show as five-year-old model Lincoln Fox and says that he was meant to represent Bad Bunny as a child www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/... www.reddit.com/user/BabySea...

Roughly 81-85; more qualitatively if you can quote the first nine seasons of the Simpsons from memory but need or will soon need bifocals you’re there.

Imagining wanting less of this in America lol. Skill issue

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Anton Chigurh here for FanDuel,

Wife is doing a comparative analysis of the butts here in the final round and “not surprised that this is the jumpy guy”

Man, this Italian guy clinching a medal by skating out of his damn skin and then celebrating like a madman…this is the Good Olympics Shit.

Win or lose I see some pretty grim endorsements and an utterly unlistenable podcast on the other side of this thing.

You just sense that the ideal outcome (please win us two gold medals and then do not be heard from again) is not at all on the table here.

If Mara has added the “hit open threes” patch it’s bad for our chances of keeping him after this year but great for this year.

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

“Alexander Farthofer”—also very funny.

“Bart Swings” is a very, very funny name.

The thing about pedestrian safety post 2020 is that its one of the few areas that's massively worse than the norms that existed pre-covid, its bourne out clearly in the numbers, and the only way to solve it is traffic enforcement, sorry
