fall risk, Fall fan
I get a strong Kentucky basketball vibe from the Dutch speed skating fans. Anyone jonesing for an Olympics villain in the absence of Russia could do worse than the Netherlands...

Nobody enjoys sweeping, this is how they keep the sport to themselves.
The dirty secret of curling that no one involved in the sport will admit is that the broom doesn’t do anything

Don't know if it was the world video feed or the Peacock app, but the women's 20k skiathlon Olympics event was rendered unwatchable due to video stuttering.

Now watching Estonia, figure they can't lose.
Watching Norway's Olympic mixed doubles curling match. Is there anything Nicholas Hoult can't do?

Was bummed that my local shop sold its only RSD copy of Nico Live in Reims Cathedral December 13th, 1974 before I could snag it, but I found it last week at Rody's Records in Savannah. Listened to it, liked it, then read the insane liner notes, and now I love it!

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

Stephen Miller is the one true irreplaceable -- everyone else's fascism carries at least a whiff of career opportunism (as was ever so). Miller's drive comes from a deeper psychological wound. He can't be told to stop, he won't do it.
oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Tom Homan is a “model cop”, if your ideal of a model cop is Sterling Hayden in The Godfather.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It gets worse: "During Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Nix will be in a box with other injured Broncos". Time for his union rep to step in here.
Bummer for Bo Nix, sidelined for 12 weeks. He will cut a solitary figure, given that the final game of the NFL season is in two weeks. Everyone else will be home with their families.
Sources: Broncos' Bo Nix sidelined 12 weeks after ankle surgery
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is expected to be sidelined 12 weeks after undergoing surgery last week on his broken right ankle, sources told ESPN.

Ugh, insomnia. A constant presence in my life for ~25 years now. I've never sought treatment for it, mostly because I haven't had a regular work schedule I've had to adhere to, or people I have to be "on" for. That would have done me in by now. Or I might have adapted, who knows??
