At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I should have known I was gay when I was 11 and obsessed with music videos

Are we so lacking new cultural touchstones that we needed two completely separate super bowl commercials using “Backstreet’s Back”

I never noticed this either.

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

There is a distinct possibility we see a man named Drake get absolutely obliterated for the second straight super bowl #SuperBowl

This is a great piece. Loved this anecdote.

Pioli: Another player that we brought from the Patriots to the Chiefs is Ryan O'Callaghan.
In 2011, he came out to me that he was gay. He didn't come out publicly for another six years.
He had told me, "Scott, I need you to keep this secret." The day that that article came out in Outsports by Cyd Zeigler, I heard from two former players from the Chiefs: Ryan Lilja, one of the offensive linemen, and Mike Vrabel.
Mike said, "Is he OK? Can I please get his contact information? I need to check on him."
Now, everyone sees Mike Vrabel, tough guy.
And he is tough to the death, and he's a man's man and all of that crap. But Mike just wanted to make sure Ryan was OK. That's Mike Vrabel.

The most uninformed person you know about every single major news story: “Something about this just doesn’t sit right with me…”
