The script in question is a *long* way from being a @jademonkey.bsky.social project, though the possibility is there, and I don't want to get on the wrong track.
RT's (RP's?) appreciated.

Watching a curling VOD. The (extremely Canadian) colour commentator says he "doesn't speak every language, but do(es) speak 'Broom'" (meaning that he can't translate the Japanese team's conversation, since he doesn't speak the language, but he can still tell *what* they're discussing.
I love that.

Low key one of my faovurite things about the Olympics is when commentators get a little misty-eyed about talking about historic events or standout competitors. In particular, the phrase "what (athlete) has done for our sport." *Our* sport. Really exudes a sense of community that I just love.

So this Valentine’s, we wanted to do something simple.

I'm not totally opposed to a salary cap in baseball (as long as it's accompanied by a salary floor) but my god man I would not look forward to having transactions like this in my stick-rock sport.

Nothing you can say will convince me that that ad for the NBA All-Star Game to the tune of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" didn't start with a "guys, GET IN HERE!" moment when a writer realized "mother nature" and "Wembanyama" have the same number of syllables.

Look, I totally agree this shit is important, but why is it at the top of the "Women's Curling" topic?
It's not just the top either. I scrolled for probably 20 seconds and didn't see one post on curling. Maybe something broke.

I pulled up the curling match between Sweden and Canada and the commentator has a Scottish accent.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Snowboarding is so freaking impressive. Why exactly is there a culture of dope-smoking associated with snowboarding? Doesn't seem like you could do *any* of this while high.

Judged sports are so wild. I'm watching pairs figure skating and I think "wow, beautiful artistry, such an impressive athletic feat too" and the TV commentary is all "what a *huge* mistake!" And of course they're right, but just, it doesn't look anything but amazing to the layperson.

As an American, I've never really understood the whole patriotism aspect of the Olympics (and I do mean never, this long predates my souring on the concept of patriotism in general). For tiny countries, I sorta get it. There's a connection there.
