good curling
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is a cool bumper sticker from The Replacements, but I have a feeling the number of guitars in Minnesota it suggests is wildly low and inaccurate. #sorrypaul

Minnesota resident and coach of Shattuck-St. Mary’s Figure Skating Center of Excellence, Suray Bonaly!
I love Ilia and he’s the one of the greatest figure skaters of our lifetime, but let’s not pretend he isn’t insulated by white male privilege when people talk about his backflip. I’m old enough to remember watching Surya Bonaly, a Black woman, do hers and being publicly DRAGGED for it.
It’s Completely Insane, Worth No Points and Has the Olympics Flipping Out
The most spectacular backflip at this Winter Olympics is happening on ice, not snow. And it’s the highlight of American figure skater Ilia Malinin’s program.

This is an interesting post from @allisonanne.com about their favorite album to listen to while writing papers in college ("St. Dymphna" by Gang Gang Dance). For me it was U2's "Unforgettable Fire." Does everyone have an album or an artist they listened to while writing papers in college?
many memories of banging out papers at Walter while listening to this
Gang Gang Dance - Saint Dymphna

From the somewhat blurry images posted at store.nytimes.com/products/new..., it looks like four days' NYT front pages since Jan. 8 may have been missing a mention of Minneapolis or Minnesota: Jan. 12, Jan. 21, Jan. 22, and Feb. 3. Still, that would mean Minn. has been on the cover 28 days out of 32.

I am absolutely riveted by Lindsey Vonn. I can barely get out of bed without my knees snapping and popping and this woman is tearing down the slopes at 74mph on a ruptured ACL. Incredible. Her events:
Women's Downhill: Sunday (2/8) at 5:30am
Women's Super G: Thursday (2/12) at 5:30am
Go Lindsey!

Lindsey Vonn tore her ACL last week. It's a debilitating injury that can take anywhere from six to nine months--hold up

Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing. Conley was traded twice this week – to Chicago, then to Charlotte – before being released and allowed to rejoin the Wolves.

Skiers simply do not believe in knee problems until their legs fly off at the joint, it’s their one weird trick that doctors hate
honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph.
They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."
