Zany as it may sound, Germany is bidding on the 2036 Olympics, which would mark the 100-year anniversary of the "Nazi Games" overseen by Hitler & Goebbels (and in the very same stadium no less). The anti-Olympics group @nolympiaberlin.bsky.social is organizing against it.

Berlin has formally presented its bid to rehost the Olympic Games. The presentation took place in the same stadium where Jesse Owens starred during the 1936 Games under the Nazis.

Iconic moment as he says "God Bless América" and then names every country in South, Central, and North america in order

For the rest of the hemisphere, América doesn't mean the U.S.

It means evveeerrybody

The above is the weekly bible study for players-turned-owners and others who climbed the ladder only to (apparently) try to pull it up. Also relevant for reactionary centrists, the Democratic Party, most of the legacy press, and the vast majority of university administrators among others.

🌡️In the 70yrs since Cortina last hosted the Winter Games, February temperatures there have warmed by 6.4°F.

That warming means fewer deep freezes.

🔴Cortina now sees 41 fewer freezing days each year...a 19% drop compared to when the Olympics were first held there.

39/ If you read enough Silvia Federici, you may conclude that, contrary to the hype, it’s not the MNBA subsidizing the #WNBA, but the reverse. Lose the W—the “not real business” for hiding profit, extracting devalued labor from Black queer women + calling it charity—and the MNBA might just collapse.

36/ This is nonsense even on the terms set out by Cathy Deloitte and Crooked Adam. Their talking point is that the #WNBA is losing money and has been for 25 years. If that’s true, why would the union “feel great” to have their wages garnished by ppl who are obviously incompetent at business?

28/ Anyway, on the topic of Baby Sue Bird needing a union, the #WNBA is negotiating a new CBA! To which, after Lobo briefly reminisces on playing at Madison Square Garden in front of Tyra Banks, we now turn.

What, Megan asks, does Rebecca think should be the “high priorities for this agreement”?
