Tuesday was supposed to break the hex.
And then Mikaela Shiffrin had her worst (non-DNF) race in almost 14 years. Another medal missed.
Now there's actual pressure on Shiffrin to go out and do something she hasn't had to do in a long time: prove to everyone she's still the best skier in the world.

2026 Winter Olympics: Pressure mounts for Mikaela Shiffrin after latest shortcoming
Rarely does an all-time great in an individual sport fail to meet the moment so many times in a row like this. Thankfully, it's not her last shot

Like me, y’all might not have even realized it, but you fucking need this article today
Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative.
I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com.

Excellent article with a helluva close!
Democrats' tone-deaf posts about the cost of groceries during an all-out constitutional crisis are driving you insane. I get it.
There's a reason they're doing it though.

Abolish ICE. No Democrat should vote to continue to fund the government until this fucking agency and DHS are reigned in. That they are doubling down on this will get more people killed. It was always going to. We are not angry enough.

Good lord. Reining in is the bare minimum. Disbanding shouldn’t be off the table.

First day back in the office after the holidays and the “it’s time to change your password” email is sitting in my inbox. Now I’m stuck in that limbo with the old password no longer working and the new password not registering yet. Happy new year to me.

It is the fascist who says with a wry smile: It’s you who claims to care about shit, not me.
As French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said, fascists "delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert."
