One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

and i was like.
oh!

Writing an episode on the last slave ship to land in the United States and it's just wild what shitty people the conspirators in the voyage were: One guy had been stabbed by his steamboat clerk, another stiffed the sailors he'd hired, another repeatedly wrecked steamboats while racing them.

Don't even get get me started on how an AUSA, in a sworn declaration filed in federal court, complains about how many habeas cases they have and how hard it's making their life. Pathetic.

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”

she did it! her! way!!
Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them
Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

Are you going to throw trans youth under the bus like you did against the unhoused very recently or will you actually course correct and *do* good for people's sake and safety?
This is yet another example of a private institution capitulating to the federal government’s assault on transgender rights. In the face of these attacks, New York City will continue to be a refuge for the LGBTQIA+ community.
