I forgot who said this, but Alysa Liu is a figure skater with snowboarder energy. We need more figure skaters with snowboarder energy
Alysa Liu had so much joy with the program. I've never seen someone look so relaxed in the Olympics ever

4 Months in Dilley. A 9 YO with a valid tourist visa and her mom who had a green card. No reason. No rhyme. 4 Months.

A quad without seeing Eteri Girl Style was so refreshing, and seeing it again now is like your sleep paralysis demon creeping up on you in the grocery store. Don’t like it.

I mean it would have been very funny if he was successful
His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

it's even worse than first reported
the fucking guy caused an inflight disruption so bad the pilot had to leave the command deck then he was like I RELIEVE U OF DUTY
absolute toddler baby shit brained government at the highest levels

Helpful thread going into today. ⛸️ #Olympics
The Olympic women's short program is today, and this is my preview / reminder for those who may be wondering what happened since the last Olympics.
At the last Olympics, as many of you know, the breathless talk of the commentators was about women doing quad jumps! Wow! Amazing!

i would like to read a deeply-reported, 10,000-word investigative piece about the procurement process that ends up sourcing a luxury 737 for the head of DHS which only seats 17 people
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
