Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych has been disqualified by the IOC from competing in the Olympics after wearing to practice a memorial helmet featuring images of Ukrainians killed by Russia in its war on Ukraine.
Despite being unable to compete, he has become a hero in Ukraine.

I take it back. What I do regret is not watching that video *before* I went to the event. I would have understood a lot more of what was going on…

Who knew a novel about artist in AIDS-devastated 1980s #NYC could be hilarious, wild and witty in addition to being poignant? @jasonnoiles.bsky.social that’s who. #PlaysWellWithOthers by #AllanGurganus is truly brilliant.
