okay if you could magically become the greatest figure skater in the world for a day and deliver one banger performance that would live on forever, and if you could truly let your freak flag fly to choose ANY music you wanted, what are you skating to

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!

I love the idea of a scammed doing the tried and true celeb scam and the mark instead saying "ugh, get your LIFE together, honky tonk man, I dont need this shit!"
the funny thing is that this could 100 percent be a real famous pro wrestler finessing random fans for cash

If you want to get rid of some incriminating documents you don't want anyone to see, the best course of action is to hide them on the top floors of the most famous twin towers in the world and hit them with two hijacked passenger planes.

Final Jeopardy accidentally invoked the idea of a Flannery O'Connor cookbook, which is something I would advise against cooking from.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Lot of people don’t wanna be anywhere
worst thing about uni students using AI for essays is that they don't even seem to be doing it so they can spend more time in the club, I'd have marginally more respect for them if their goal was to maximise their partying time, what are they even doing with the time AI frees up for them

The idea that Beshear's religious statements are a genuine profession of faith and not a strategy isn't even considered in this post, and I think that is straightforwardly a mistake born of cynicism.
